Challenge and Opportunity Facing China after Opening the Field of Distance Education: the Case of Australia HUANG Fusheng & WEI Qi (Shanghai TV University, Shanghai 200086, China) Abstract: After China's entering WTO, developed countries in the field of distance education service strongly call for the opening of china's relevant education field. Among them, China has negotiated with Australia about the opening of distance education. Australia is advanced in distance education and admitting her distance education service into China may bring great positive significance into such aspects as optimizing China's capability and environment in distance education, and attracting foreign investment in education. But Australia's distance education has her own characteristics, such as the curriculum localization, their understanding on distance education, the preparation of distance learners, teaching staff, teaching methods and so on. Besides, China's distance education is still at the initial stage, resulting in her irregular development and lower level. According to the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) ---the opening degree in distance education is controlled by the opener, and based on the above analysis, China's distance education field should be opened step by step in five to ten years. Meanwhile, we should currently regularize China's distance education market, perfect its environment, and promote its competitive ability. Key words: China; Australia; distance education; challenge and opportunity I. The weaknesses of Australia's Distance Education Universities in Australia have fastened their steps in opening their overseas services. Central Queensland University(CQU) has reached an agreement with Sichuan Normal University(SNU) lately to conduct a joint university, providing business courses via distance education. The students have to pay their tuition for themselves, while they can pursue their degree in both CQU and SNU at the same time. They have now started Business (Market Management) Bachelor degree and Business Administration Master degree, and students can enroll the CQU bachelor degree in Sichuan. We are informed that CQU is paying great attention to the 30,000 students from Sichuan as this is their debut in China. Until now CQU has launched their branches in Hong Kong China, Malaysia and Singapore. In March, 2003 Haerbin Medicine University signed a contract for a joint education service with La Trobe University, which is one of the biggest universities in Australia that provides overseas education programs for Chinese students, there being over 400 Chinese students studying in their campus, and the university sent over 3500 students to their joint education institutions in more than 22 Chinese cities. Based on the research and practice conducted by scholars we can safely announce that Australian Distance Education has the following advantages: extensive coverage, great flexibility in operation, providing valuable educational program instead of hardware facility, support from government, industrialization, hi-tech. Yet relevant research revealed that there could be some disadvantages when we import their programs directly: 1、Curriculum. Hardly can foreign course provide localized knowledge and skills required by Chinese society, besides, their courses might vary in their quality. Firstly Australian universities are under the regulation of Australian educational and adminitry departments, themselves not being able to modify 1 their course to adapt to the needs of our students, making a discrepancy between social needs and what they can provide consequently. Secondly some of the universities just came to China to issue their degrees to students who are pursuing nothing but a copy of certification. Those universities have greatly harmed Australian school's reputation. When a university tries to put their curriculum to other countries and regions they might encounter the discrepancy between what they can give and what others want to take, as described before. To make things worse, they design other educational sections(like examination) in an environment way too far from the learners. The case study always select topics concerning the business practice, rules and regulations in Australia. They can never suit Chinese students if they can't modify their courses to fit in local needs. 2、The understanding and acknowledgement to distance education. Many would think that distance education is inferior to traditional education in quality. They don't understand that distance education has quality course design and learner support system, so both the providers and learners are reluctant to admit that they are providing or receiving courses from distance education. In mainland China distance education didn't enjoy high social acknowledgement due to the insufficient understanding of distance education's real nature. Besides, some serious disciplinary problems uncovered in distance education examination like cheating degraded people's confidence to distance education. Some learners admitted that they don't want others to know that they are receiving Correspondence Education. The reasons for this could be that people haven't realized the class course design and learning support system, but could also be that they are impressed by bad educational programs provided by some institutions. 3、Learners' Preparedness. Currently it's difficult for Chinese learners to follow the teaching language, teaching method, learning and thinking styles from Australia. Learners vary in their levels due to the openness of distance education; furthermore, traditional Examination-Oriented education gives them weak ability to generate the motivation and independence which are prerequisite for distance education. Being indulged by tradition education mode, many learners don't have enough computer literacy as well as adaptability to new teaching modes. Furthermore, enrollment management and fake registry raised certain issues concerning the learning result. Even in Hong Kong when students are required to learn in a reflective way and make their own judgment to the learning content they would bring up the issue that they are not familiar with this learning method. For mainland students they would most probably have some difficulty absorbing new knowledge in English. Usually it would take them quite a long period of time to achieve this because the problem comes not only from speaking and writing in English, but also from thinking and reasoning in English. 4、The disagreement in education ideas between two countries. There exists disagreement concerning some key concepts in education due to different cultures, which brings some instructional issues. For example, students who are pursuing Australian distance education in HK would have a different understanding of Plagiarism from their teachers. Although usually deemed as a cultural issue, the understanding gap is huge. To copy others work is doubtlessly deemed as plagiarism, while to westerners, to quote author's wording and ideas without reference is plagiarism too. We have noticed that although tutors have state clearly the definition and result of plagiarism both in the entry lesson and in the small classes, students may also end in puzzled about that. They know plagiarism is not right and they tried their best to avoid it, but they found it simply beyond their capability to express the meaning of the article in their own words. They seemed to be satisfied with the original words and expressions, and any attempt to express the 2 article in a new way is to them sort of impolite piracy. We may see this in another way: maybe that is because the students are not good at English enough to express their meaning in their original way. 5、Staff issues. It's hard for overseas distance education institutes to hire competent local tutors. Data reveals that some overseas students find local tutors are not as competent as the teaching staff who runs the courses in the universities. An investigation towards students who studied Australian courses in HK revealed different evaluations to Australian teachers and local teachers. Many of them tend to think Australian teachers give more detailed and more theoretical comments while Hong Kong teachers are more likely to give grades than comments. Some think it beneficial to be commented by Australian teachers as they would get more enlightening feedback while others think comments from Hong Kong teachers are easier to understand. Some think the Australian teachers are strict in their grading while others think Hong Kong teachers are stricter than their foreign peers. A few more words to say about this: all such institutions adapted double-grading system, which empowers Australian teachers to change the grade if the Hong Kong teachers are not being fair. 6、Drawbacks in Distance Education itself. Teachers should pay more attention to the communication in emotions than in knowledge and information, but distance education by definition couldn't realize face-to-face communication between teachers and learners. There exists some serious problems in current distance education. Take the thesis writing for example. Many students would hire a gunner to do the thesis for himself. Teachers would communicate with learners via e-mail in order to get appropriate idea of their progress in their thesis writing and to ensure that there is no gunner part. But who could really know whether it's the gunner sending and receiving emails? It's a serious problem to ensure education quality in the open distance education, and to balance between open education and elite education. On the other hand modern distance education is a system program. We have to count on the fully development of hardware and software to develop itself. Firstly because of the instable factors in satellite transmission and network technology, there exist a lot of inconveniences for learners. Secondly due to the openness of distance education and the multifoldness of learners many learners do not have enough computer literacy and adaptability to new teaching mode. Also they don't have very strong self-motivation and independence, there being a lot of them only enroll for the certification copy. At the same time the teachers are not doing their job very well. For example multimedia is only used as a teaching tool and an affiliated part during the teaching process while it could be fully employed to enhance the information communication and interactivity. There exists remarkable room for non-computer-major teachers to improve their computer literacy, as they don't seem quite competent when designing the courses. 7、The Profit. We observed a decrease in Australian universities' resources and its impact on bachelor education. Most classes have grow into bigger scale and some universities have lowered the percentage of the practice lessons. Such actions were based on the pursue of greater profit and they would surely entail a decrease in the final quality of the whole education program. Besides, the cost of distance education is rather high. Data reveals that the hourly cost of learning materials that meet the quality standard is $ 25000, way too expensive for Chinese learners. Australian universities are having a hard time finding distance education courses that meet the request and budget of Chinese learners. 8、Lack of relevant policies. The inconsistency in educational input among Australian federal government, states government and local government may cause critical risk in monitoring issues. With the 3 insufficient rights protection awareness among Chinese consumers, especially the weakness in their selfprotection capability in education areas, long distance and language issues, there is no protection regulations in learners rights and tuition risk. The fact that Chinese government is not very experienced in this respect would cause some lose in Chinese learners as well. 9、The building of learning materials and learning support system. With the learning era coming Chinese learners will doubtlessly have more diversified needs, which could hardly be met by Australian universities. Hardly can they build diversified and resourceful teaching materials based on the needs of Chinese learners(including resources in network, multimedia and printing format). Nor can they construct a learner support service system suitable for Chinese learners. These would surely impact the quality of the service they provide. II、Opportunities and Threats we have after Opening up of Distance Education. (A)Opportunities According to the General Agreement on Trade in Service signed by WTO participants, distance education is now one of the four areas. The opportunities brought along by the opening up of this area are: 1、To Optimize International Trade Environment. To boost adjustment to domestic economic structure and industry structure; to propose how to raise talents in new standard and scale. With the acknowledgement and acceptance of Life Long Study and educational consumption, the social needs for education is growing bigger and bigger. This huge yet diversified need could not be met by formal education which is featured by regular time and space. So distance education became people's first choice. Yet with insufficient development of distance education in China, we don't have available too many institutions dedicated to distance education and most of them are under initializing stage. So we can only state that opening up distance education would bring new possibilities for the imbalance between supply and demand in this field. 2、To Attract Foreign Investment. Opening up distance education could attract investment from abroad. Currently we are experiencing a shortage of educational fund, which restricted the investment to common universities, let alone to distance education. Furthermore, the initial stage of distance education needs quite a lot of investment(or direct cost), so the fund problem(including tuition) might become the bottleneck for the development of modern distance education. As long as we stick to the principles the attraction of foreign investment would definitely be a valid solution. The effective use of foreign investment would speed up the development of distance education. 3、To Improve Domestic Education Institution and Introduce Our Distance Education Abroad With overseas distance education coming to China with their comparative advantages, they will pose great threat to domestic distance education, forcing us to improve ourselves and better the quality of our distance education. There surely exist huge differences in their content and form, owing to their unique social culture and educational background. This diversity would prove complementary to current distance education system, and it would help to make an extensive, diversified, flexible and reasonably configured 4 distance education system, optimizing the whole distance education industry. Besides, we are entitled to many rights through the opening up of distance education. Trade barriers removed, entry level lowered, we can export our education services to abroad. Noticeably we have an advantage in teaching traditional culture. 4、To Improve Final Quality of Our Distance Education Institutions. Distance education will cause competition among its institutions as it's part of educational service trade. Featured for zero time and zero space and Modern distance education covers a lot of targets and it's hard to avoid the overlapping among various institutions. Most distance education is operated by current universities; the similarity in their department structure caused the interchangeability among courses from different universities, their unique programs being rare. On the other hand, while paying for the distance education consumers sure want to get optimal benefit, which will make the learners pickier. So distance education institutions should improve itself in order to survive this severe competition. (B)Threats 1、Domestic Distance Education: Not Competitive Enough. (1)Current teaching ideas and management methods shadowed by traditional education. Previously our distance education has a weak basis. Until recently its primary components are Correspondence education and Broadcast and TV education. The former is operated by universities while the latter is operated by TV universities. Now we don't have developed network supports. Internet access has been widely spread yet education via internet is problematic. Current band width can't permit fluent transmission of real media courseware; this greatly harmed learners' learning experience. Domestic distance educations are not professional enough neither. TV universities and Internet Colleges still carry on the department arrangement, learning content of common universities, resulting in low quality and social recognition. Besides the distance education industry is in disorder, TV universities and Internet Colleges belonging to different systems, no backbones elected. (2)Rough production of teaching materials and shortage of resources Currently teaching materials are primarily produced by universities teachers or staff from distance education companies. They would struggle for the production right in order to harvest more payment, and most of them would handle the production to post-graduate or graduate students, leaving little chance for the materials to excel in quality. Secondly Internet College are primarily about compulsory education, which is low in academic level, professionalism, media pool, test pool, case pool and courseware pool. The simple teaching methods only serve to distract learners' interests, making use only of e-textbooks. Thirdly, despite fully developed course materials, there is no systemic planning. The courses are too much focused on shorttermed benefits. Universities have too many hot subjects while middle schools have too many entry tests instructions, no focus on practical ability being found in either of them. Lastly, there is shockingly repetition in learning resources despite the shortage. There being no close cooperation among universities or distance education companies, many human resources and monetary resources were wasted on the same content, harassing the overall quality of teaching resources. 5 (3)majors set improperly. Many universities set majors like IT, economy and ignore other majors. This causes waste in resources, and harms employment of graduates from distance education. The primary reason is the shortage of systemic management. Decision-makers only foresaw the advantages of hot majors while fails to foresee its disadvantages. Institutions should learn to set up majors based on their own strengths, thus foster better development of all the majors. (4)Shortage of teachers for modern distance education. A teacher for distance education does more than design and development of distance education. He hosts on-line discussion, gives instructions and evaluations, corrects homework. Now almost all our teachers are part-time teachers from common universities. They are neither experienced enough nor proficient enough to conduct distance education. We have to build a full-time distance education worker to achieve success like traditional education. Universities should make training plans for teachers in aspects like IT, network skills, multimedia techs etc., making IT one of the basic technologies for teachers, so that teachers can motivate learners through adding information within limited teaching hours. (5)Weak Management in teaching process. When providing learning via internet, we should highlight the importance of learner management. We should monitor the enrollment, development, learning and graduation sections of distance education with advanced monitoring system. Otherwise key factors in education couldn't come up with a joint force. But we observed only weak management in distance education; some would even claim the management of process is unnecessary because there is no direct contact with learners. This thinking greatly harmed the quality of distance education. The high dropout rates in current distance education are due to this weak management primarily. 2、Government: Lack of management experience and relevant regulations. There is no standard process for distance education management. Rules and regulations are not ready. The quality system for distance education is not fully developed, which make it difficult to control risks, monitor education quality and protect rights. Specifically there are following points: (1)Legislation Laggard. Problems in distance education need more than administrative, economic and political solutions. Legislation is the ultimate solution. In current education laws distance education were merely mentioned three times, as in Compulsory Education Law(1986), Education Law(1995) and Law of Vocational Education(1996), and it's through simply summary as" the nation support implementing higher education with broadcast, television, correspondence and other distance education". The shortage of specification makes the long-term development of distance education dubious. (2)Rough orientation. Due to the legislation laggard we don't have a clear orientation of distance education's nature, task, position and effect, bringing a lot of difficulty to the development of distance education. Take Television University for example. Some of them were merged by other universities and lost 6 their independence. This weakened the advantages of TV University to a great extent, effecting teaching quality of both parties and impacting the healthy development of broadcast TV universities. (3)Insufficient investment. There being no compulsory regulations, government's investment to education has always been insufficient, especially to distance education. The result is that the demands of distance education infrastructure have not been met for long. The underdeveloped regions call for more investment from government more urgently. The insufficient investment makes it hard to hire quality teaching staff, restricting the effect of distance education. (4)Rare self-governance. Currently there's only one file regulating the setting of distance education, i.e. Temporary Rules for Setting of Broadcast University. There is no specified legislation as to founding a distance education school and providing joint service. The government has been too strict with distance education, leading to incapability to operate independently society-oriented. (5)Rights Protection of Owners, teachers and students. The protection of owners' right is best illustrated in ROI and independent governance. That of teachers is best reflected in their copyright. That of learners is embodied in protection of educational consumers' rights. (6)Severe lack of overseas education management. Firstly what overseas course management rules and regulations should we have to face the invasion of oversea curriculums, guarantee quality of imported lessons, and screen low level lessons from entering our market? Secondly what educational joint mode should we have both to protect our educational rights and to allow advanced knowledge and technologies to be transferred to China? What are the duties and rights of both parties for a joint education provider? Thirdly, the issue of internationalization and localization. As it will impact us politically, economically, educationally, culturally even linguistically if we import foreign lessons without our critical thinking, we've got to figure out a solution to sustain our politics, economy, education, culture and language. Lots of overseas courses are way too far from what we really need, leaving a huge gay between our badly needed knowledge and skills. We have to figure out solution to these courses as well. 3、Insufficient protection of educational consumers. Influenced by traditional ideas, Chinese learners don't have enough independence, linguistic and thinking preparedness for distance education, which makes it hard for them to make their own decisions. Besides, due to the publicity of education and people's opposition to education market, users of distance education knows very little about the consumer market. As opening up distance education requires the overall understanding of educational market there's much room to improve for domestic students. Besides, we don't have complete guarantee and policies in student' rights protection. As there must be risks in learning quality and tuition security because of linguistic and special reasons after foreign distance education providers' coming to China, we still need a lot of rules and policies to regulate them, which would definitely take a long period of time. 7 III、Advice: To boost the self-regulation and development of domestic distance education; To open up distance education industry gradually. According to the Country Schedule signed by our Education Ministry, "there's no promise as to market entry and civil treatment for cross border supply. So no WTO agreement should be cited as valid for the supply of education service by foreign agencies via distance education and correspondence. " based on the SWOT analysis above we suggest opening up distance education gradually instead of completely. And we should fasten our steps in building distance education and improving its quality. The following points are in specific: Firstly, positioning distance education and increase investment in legislative channel. We should define distance education as an independent education format and protect it against other education formats legislatively as they are equal. Also education needs investment. Currently the investment comes mainly from students' tuition. The legislation should define government's duty to invest and regulate investing approaches for groups, companies, even individuals. With the development of distance education becoming a global trend, lots governments have now made strategic plans for distance education and execute them as a solution to lack of educational resources. Secondly, more propaganda to reach a better understanding of distance education. We should alter people's bias that distance education is a low level education. Being an inseparable part of modern education, it holds a particularly important position in Life Long study and learning society. As common universities, distance education could be hierarchical in ranking and quality. We should diminish people's presumption toward distance education and enlighten them with its advancement and popularity. Thirdly, put an end to the segmentation of distance education and boost scale development. Many universities refuse to share their resources, giving too much consideration to its fame and brand. Individualism goes the opposite direction of distance education's objective, forming a scattered industry. We all know that the essence of modern distance education is sharing of educational resources in staff, material and teaching thinking, yet most universities only open their resources to society, making only a one-way sharing, and this is the cause of segmentation of distance education. Fourthly, distance education should give a slant to underdeveloped regions. There seemed to be a dilemma here. Distance education hopes to reach population from underdeveloped areas, yet owing to poor infrastructure and staff's cultural background, it's not easy for people to get access to the internet, let alone to distance education. Fifthly, regulate distance education operation; strengthen administrative setting to ensure its independence. In order to build a legislative distance education system, to make its operation legal, crystal, formal and foreseeable, we have to strengthen the legislation process of distance education, to make it a legal thing instead of an administrative thing. The guideline should be in accord with development plan for higher education, Life Long study and learning society instead of pure profit. The independence refers at least to: a. self-governance in teaching, including setting power of majors, subjects and departments; b. staffing power, including the hiring and firing of teachers and other staff, their promotion and wage standard; c. management of cost and estates; d. the rights to develop cross-university cooperation and international communication. 8 Sixthly, rights protection of owners, teachers and students. In opening up distance education we must carefully protect the stakeholders' benefits, build a stronger law system, make a complete management team, properly position the function of government, facilitate the involvement of owners, teachers and students into distance education, maintaining as a result the sustainable development of distance education. Seventhly, to ensure cultural security in front of globalization. With the inevitably booming trend of globalization there emerges international cooperation as well as competition in distance education. It's a practical concern to ensure cultural security in this trend. We should monitor market entry, market order and market behavior through legislation, and then hopefully catch up with the world's development. On the other hand we should moderately protect the rights of domestic education service providers as foreign providers are distracting students. Eighthly speed up the talent building for distance education. The talent pool includes technicians, managements and teachers. Teachers should be trained in modern educational technologies as well as modern education ideas and theories to update their knowledge. Distance education should neither be operated nor evaluated by traditional education paradigms. With the current weak operation capability we have to set the first priority as talent pool building, which really is the key to the development of distance education.

ARH headers install
Thanks to Discount Auto Performance, for a great price on an awesome product with fast shipping. Ordered them on a Monday and received the headers the following Monday.
Now for the install, we did use a lift. But to show how easy install was, we left the tires on and did not remove the fender wells. So this kit can be installed in anyone's garage or driveway. First remove the dip stick, it's just two bolts, and set it aside. Now remove the O2 sensors, This kit comes with a mid-pipe and custom Y-pipe. So I used a sawzall to cut out the piping. One cut directly behind the stock Y-pipe and cut directly in front of cats. Then drop the old piping out of the way. Now you can pick a side to start removing manifolds. Driver side is easiest, so I saved it for last. Start by removing the heat shields from the manifolds, to reveal the manifold bolts. Once all the bolts are removed, you can drop the manifold out of the way. We used a good set of rachet wrenches since we were not going through the fender walls. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4938394_n.jpg
Now for the install, make sure the heads are clean and start the bottom row of header bolts, because the headers are notched. Put gaskets in place, we used some copper gasket seal. Set the headers in on the bottom row of bolts. When tightening headers start from the middle and work your way out, back and forth. To be sure not to warp anything. After you have both sides on, you can start with the mid-pipe and the custom Y. Make sure you put your clamps on first and get your piping in place. Mark the three inch stock pipe to cut for Y install. Don't cut to much. I used a rubber hammer to bump it all snug before clamping down. Put your O2 extensions on that come with the kit, and put sensors in. Now you can reinstall the dip stick. It will go up through the middle of the driver side header. There only be one bolt to hold it on, since one of the brackets was bolted to the old manifolds. You will need to check the clearance on the shift cable, I used a zip tie to get good clearance away from the headers. Also make sure the O2 sensor wires are clear from the piping. Now take her around the block a few times, making sure to open it up. After a few laps around the block, you can recheck the header bolts. Starting in the middle and work your way out tightening. These are some awesome headers, with noticeable performance gains. And only took three hours to install. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...09987565_n.jpg
I put on my old flowmaster super44 just for fun and Wow!!! It is redneck loud!!! I'll post a sound clip later this week.
Chris, thanks for the awesome right up!
You made it sound too easy of an install.....LOL
Glad we could help you out. Then again, you are one of our trucks ;)
Can wait to hear the video
Time for some cherry bombs or some Borlas ;)
Quick question i know back in the day you had to paint or wrap headers or they would rust to shit in no time how bout now is it still that way or are these coated.
There not coated but there made of 304 stainless steel. And I live in the south so no salt. they should out live the truck
Another question those damn things look good heres question looks like everything is bolt and clamp now what if your muffler is welded on do you have to cut it and reweld it. Can you post pics of where its hooked up to the muffler.
I know how it all hooks up im just curious about after the y did you just clamp the muffler back on or what
Remember im old school headers straight 3'' pipe and no mufflers lol old school here
There is about two foot of piping in between the Y and muffler. So you don't even have to touch the muffler.
I clamp my stuff because im always changing and trading parts with friends
Oh ok so then you just slip that into the new pipe and clamp it.
This is on my next to do list.
I might be getting a new job that will net much better pay im talking holy shit that truck is fast pay lol. But might have to move to texas or back to pa

Town Board members say they plan to unveil a list later this month that will outline which private roads in Riverhead Town will get minimal highway services and which won't receive any.
It makes sense to get the list together before the first storm of the season hits, but there's a glaring hole in their plan: They have no system in place on how to accurately poll the residents who live on these roads in order to figure out who wants the town's help and who does not. (more…)

If the above situation was Nvidia's,you'd bet it's CEO would be shouting it from the rooftops as loud as he could,instead,it's anouncing delays after delays for Fermi,saying that high volume shipments will only happen in the second quarter,and stating that their current DX10,DX10.1 GPU's are enough for the mainstream and value markets,because they're fabulous,when ATI has DX11 GPU's for those markets too.
I know most consumers aren't that informed,but even they can see the difference between a DX10 card and a DX11 one,so which one you think they'll pick?
To wich this scenario applies quite nicely for the past 5 months....Some here have seen it and it is quite funny:
In short,Nvidia is getting screwed hard here...

Sri Lanka: Census asks question about Internet and ICT use
Written by Rohan Samarajiva on January 5, 2012 — 5 Comments
We have yet to see the actual questions, but this is very satisfying news. If the questions are good, it justifies our continued engagement with National Statistical Organizations since 2006. If we are still working on indicators, we'll do our best to spread the word on Sri Lankan good practice. Sri Lanka will collect information […]

Maryland runs wild on Pack
2008 CFN Humanitarian
Bowl Preview
2008 Humanitarian Bowl
Player Profiles, Histories, & More
1. This game's most revealing
moment? It might not seem like
much, but when one considers
that this game was a mirror of
Maryland's up-and-down season
(sometimes awesome, sometimes
horrible, and always
unpredictable), it's worth
With just under nine minutes
left in regulation, gutsy Nevada
quarterback Colin Kaepernick--fighting
off an ankle injury to keep his
team competitive--was on the
ground and looking for a helping
hand. A Maryland defender
offered that hand, only to
retract it at the last instant.
The classless display--besides
needing a stern reprimand from
Terps coach Ralph Friedgen in a
film analysis--showed something
about a team that was up one
moment, and down the next.
Character counts, and players
who would insult a brave and
gallant opposing quarterback are
the kinds of players who are
inconsistent, distracted, and
lacking in the levelheadedness
that characterizes a
championship team. Perhaps
Friedgen can use this moment as
a way to teach his kids (the
good ones, not the bad apples)
how to behave in all times and
seasons. With a better attitude,
perhaps Maryland will make
Orange Bowls in the future, not
Humanitarians. -
2. Maybe there's something to
this whole benching thing.
Maryland RB DaRel Scott was
suspended for the entire first
half and half of the third
quarter after violating curfew,
and then he looked like he was
shot out of a cannon when he
finally got on the field. Of
course he was fired up to make
up for the problems and come
through with a big performance,
but more importantly in a game
like this, he had fresh legs.
While Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick
was trying to fight through a
bum wheel, spraining his ankle
early on, here comes Scott off
the bench playing fired up and
as good as new. Remember, time
off is a big factor in these
bowl games and it gives some
players time to heal up, and it
also makes it hard to get the
60-minute conditioning back.
Scott showed that it's sometimes
better to be held in the barn
and then unleashed on a tired
team late.
3. Couldn't
Da'Rel Scott have come up with a
more severe infraction than a
measly broken curfew? You know
the Nevada sideline was thinking
that as the Maryland back
repeatedly ripped through its
defense in the second half.
Scott was suspended until
halftime by Ralph Friedgen, but
made up for lost time with 174
yards and two critical scores on
just 14 carries in the final two
quarters. Every time the Pack
rallied, he stepped up and
provided the backbreaker.
Looking like the player who led
the country in rushing for a
time in September, he'll enter
2009 as one of the ACC's premier
offensive playmakers.
Richard Cirminiello
4. Although he was the losing
pitcher in the game, Nevada QB
Colin Kaepernick delivered one
of the gutsiest efforts of the
bowl season so far. Hobbled by a
badly sprained ankle that
limited his trademark mobility,
he still managed to throw for
369 yards and three scores, rush
for a touchdown, and nearly
rally the Wolf Pack to a
come-from-behind win. Had his
receivers not dropped a million
passes and his defense made an
occasional tackle, he might have
brought Nevada all the way back.
Even without the W, though, he
gained the respect of the
Maryland players and anyone who
caught the Humanitarian Bowl.
Believe it or not, you only
caught a fraction of Kaepernick,
who's far more dangerous when
he's working on two healthy
wheels. -
Richard Cirminiello
5. Yes, big boys don't like
scheduling road games against
WAC opponents. If college
football is to grow at all
levels, top teams should be
willing to take on decent teams
in the better non-BCS
conferences. Scheduling is
always a subject in which teams
from the WAC (and the Mountain
West, and the MAC, and C-USA)
will have a legitimate gripe on
an annual basis.
With that said, the WAC has just
concluded a 1-4 bowl season,
with the one win coming against
6-7 Northern Illinois on a
virtual home field (Louisiana
Tech). If Utah doesn't deliver
the goods against Alabama, it
will be very hard to take Rocky
Mountain and upper-tier non-BCS
conferences very seriously.
Nevada played with heart, but
Maryland clearly had the
superior skill people and
linemen. Given the ACC's slew of
bowl losses in 2008, the
inability to beat the
schizophrenic Terps in a WAC
stadium (belonging to league
champion Boise State) represents
a huge missed opportunity for
Nevada and the WAC at large. The
conference needs a better bowl
season in 2009... and, in future
seasons, a willingness on the
part of BCS conferences to
travel to places like Boise,
Fresno, Reno, Honolulu, and
Ruston (La.).

When I set out to make a special gluten and dairy free energy bar for my husband Jesse, I had his health and my nose in mind. There were specialty bars available that would keep him from starving on his long bike rides, but I couldn't find a single one that was athletically balanced and tasted good. If he was going to make it as a Pro-Triathlete, he needed to start getting picky about his diet. With my nerdy Stanford background in science and athletic performance, I knew what needed to be created, but it wouldn't be easy.
I wanted a 4:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio, slow releasing carbs for level blood sugar, minimal soy content, and healthy fats making up 25% of the calories. Oh yeah, and it needed to taste amazing. No big deal, right? Good thing my training buddy Stephanie and I were injured and had time on our hands, cuz it was hard work. Perfecting Picky Bars together became the perfect distraction from the misery of injury, and added the balance we needed in our lives to finally heal.
A years worth of gooey hands and gut-busting laughs results in a product we are exceedingly proud of. We are picky about the quality of our ingredients, and where they come from. Everything that goes into the bar has a good reason for being there, and took months of experimenting to earn its place in the recipe. The finished product is what we trust to fuel us to the highest levels of international sport, to USA Championships and podium finishes. And now we are thrilled to finally be able to share them with you.
Eat Picky and Prosper,
Lauren Fleshman.

https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/wiki/GCUnitAssociations#queryformatIt looks like in v2 we're going to be supporting both GET URLs for simple queries (query in the parameters) and a POST URL for advanced search (letting us do more complicated AND/OR/IN/GT/LT types of operations).
Had I started with a simpler area than unit associations, I'd be proposing a standard format to use for all advanced queries. But the unit associations queries are more complicated and will need some variations.
The page above outlines my current thoughts on what that format looks like. I'd guess that once we settle on it, the standard query format will be a simplified version of this.
I'm curious what people think. I'm open to new options, but I'd like to get started on this early next week, so the sooner you can propose them, the easier it'll be to change what I have written on that page.

The Boston Globe's Yvonne Abraham tails Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney through his mostly business schedule in New Orleans and notices that he smiled (faintly) when a panelist mentioned him as a 2008 presidential hopeful. Fellow governors Kenny Guinn and Mike Rounds (Nevada and South Dakota) have kind words for the man. LINK
In the Wall Street Journal, Jeanne Cummings has crunched the numbers from Ohio and concludes that Bush won there because he sold the tax cuts well to rural residents and business owners; he convinced folks that Kerry seemed too European; and, yeah, maybe a bit of gay marriage and cultural values thrown in the mix.
The AP's Ron Fournier updates the Kerry nomination bank account story and ends with two interesting paragraphs. LINK
"One member of Kerry's inner circle said the failure to spend the money cost Kerry victory in a close election. Another said the fact that Kerry had $45 million in the primary campaign account in mid-October raises questions about why he did not opt out of the campaign finance system for the general election to avoid spending limits.
"Although some officials pointed fingers at campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill, others said Kerry knew there was a big surplus in his primary campaign account. They said he wanted to save it in the event of a recount, legal challenges or other unforeseen expenses. In the end, they said, Kerry's nest egg will be less than $10 million."
Rick Klein and Charles Savage in the Boston Globe -- remembering for the entire paper how good it makes them feel to play "Pile on John Kerry" -- include disappointed quotes from Gordon Fischer and Dan Mongiardo. LINK
OK: not for the ENTIRE paper: Scot Lehigh uses his Globe column to state his belief that Sen. Kerry campaign made serious errors in judgment and that, not 60,000 votes in Ohio, caused him to lose the election. LINK
The Alan Greenspan take-out on the front page of the Wall Street Journal is food for thought. We'd link to it but the Journal Web site is down at this writing.
See all y'all soon.

Digital painting tips for beginners.I'm not the best person to give advice about art, once I do not consider myself an artist (yes, it's true lol). But I've always been very curious and interested with the theme "digital painting", and I spent (and still spend) hours and hours watching videos 2 hours long on Youtube lol livestreams, etc.. I think I'm the only person who has the patience for it, hahahaha, but it was what helped me to evolve and learn all the techniques I know now to perform my work. I asked the help of many artists that I admire, and some even helped me, but most of them do not care how much you want to learn. Thinking about it, I decided to make this journal to pass them what little I know, and I hope that this is helpful for someone.

1964 New York Yankees American League Championship Rolex Presented to Tony Kubek. After plating eight runs against the legendary Bob Gibson in the second game of the World Series, the mighty Yanks could find no answer for the ace Cardinal in Games Five and Seven and were forced to settle for only an American League Championship in 1964. This is one heck of a consolation prize, a gorgeous stainless steel Rolex in one of the earliest Daytona styles. We can't attest with certitude that all functions are currently operational but the watch does run and could surely be coaxed back into youthful perfection by a skilled horologist. Verso is engraved with the details of the presentation beneath the classic hat and bat team logo: "1964 American League Champions, Presented to Anthony C. Kubek." A special piece that will tempt collectors of various stripes.

SweetwaterŌĆÖs sub-varsity high school football teams lost to Monahans squads here on Thursday.
It wa the last home game for both teams, who will be traveling to Wylie this week to end their seasons.
SweetwaterŌĆÖs JV (6-3, 2-2 district) was on the wrong end of a high-scoring 65-34 contest.
Sweetwater High SchoolŌĆÖs two sub-varsity volleyball teams finished up successful campaigns on a high note this past Tuesday by beating Snyder in season-ending matches.
The JV girls (22-11 season, 5-5 in district) won their match over Snyder by scores of 25-14, 25-19.
BLACKWELL ŌĆö District rivals Blackwell and Robert Lee began district play against each other here on Friday ŌĆö then ended it just a couple of hours after their District 8, Division II Six-Man opener.
In between, Coach Clint LowryŌĆÖs Hornets beat the Steers 84-56 to claim the district championship and the No. 1 seed for the playoffs that start in two weeks.
ROSCOE ŌĆö The Hamlin Pied Pipers proved to be a major roadblock to the Roscoe PlowboysŌĆÖ playoff hopes here Friday as they dominated the scoreboard and came away with a 34-0 victory.
Hamlin, the district co-leader with Albany at 6-0, limited Roscoe to just 205 total yards as the PlowboysŌĆÖ district record fell to 3-3.
Sweetwater varsity plays at Monahans, 7:30 p.m.
Roscoe varsity will host Hamlin, 7:30 p.m.
Blackwell varsity will host Robert Lee, 7:30 p.m.
Sweetwater varsity and JV girls vs. Big Spring (scrimmage), 10 a.m., Big Spring.
Cross Country
RoscoeŌĆÖs Lyndi Wilkinson, Karina Cisneros, Alejandra Solis, Braiden Moore, Whitney Williams, Alyssa Chavez, Samantha Ortega and Olivia Saddler and HighlandŌĆÖs Eli Shelton will compete at Region II-1A meet in Grand Prairie.
The three Nolan County high school football teams who are in action today all face tall assignments as they fight for a playoff berth.
Sweetwater (1-2), which is currently tied for fourth place in District 4-3A, goes to Monahans (3-0), which is the districtŌĆÖs only remaining undefeated team.
SweetwaterŌĆÖs only win was at Greenwood (0-3), where the Mustangs won 54-29 before losing to Big Spring 65-42 last Friday.
Sweetwater and Fabens will meet in a Class 3A bi-district volleyball playoff at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Crane High School, according to Sweetwater head volleyball coach Liz Miller.
Sweetwater qualified for the playoffs as the fourth-place team in District 4-3A after WednesdayŌĆÖs season-ending four-game win over Snyder at Mustang Gym.
HIGHLAND ŌĆö Highland trailed No. 1-ranked Ira by just eight, 16-8, in the final minute of the first quarter when Michael Hyde scored on a 10-yard run and Jacob Richburg added the PAT on Thursday. But that proved to be all the scoring the Hornets could produce as they lost 54-8 to Ira.
Highland (1-1) will make the playoffs by beating Hermleigh next week. The Cardinals (0-1) will be playing today against Rotan, which is also 0-1. Highland (5-3) saw a five-game winning streak halted while Ira improved to 9-0, 2-0.
Here are Highland JV and junior high results from the recent district cross country meet held in Eula. The varsity results ran earlier:
Reann Robinson 43rd (17:18); Brooklyn Petty 47th (17:33); Brook Nervig 48th (17:35).
Team placed third
Kamren Shelton 5th (12:27); Cade Garrett 11th (13:02); Gage Braden 19th (13:54); Jordan Johns 22nd (14:23); Kanyon Carper 37th (18:03); Tucker Harris 39th (18:21).
Madison Braden 4th (16:04); Schyler Kimbrell 7th (16:54); Kaylee Martin 8th (16:57).
Sweetwater will make the three-hour trip to Monahans on Friday seeking a win ŌĆö a win that would not only greatly improve its chances of making the postseason, but also be a huge boost to the football program.
The Mustangs (1-2 district, 3-5) will face a Loboes team that sits atop the 4-3A race with a perfect 3-o mark ŌĆö but needed a big fourth-quarter rally to win 35-34 over Snyder last week.
Snyder, which fell to 1-2 in district, held a 34-21 lead with 7:41 to play after a 100-yard interception return.

So Ive finally decided to kill off the mod, my ideas and dreams of becoming a successful and fun mod were made true and a large community was generated of people who wanted to kill zombies, but know my ideas have perished along with my time and my motivation.
Theres only so much you can do and what i did was fun and very educational, the source engine is a great engine to work with but id rather help others than drag around a mod that has halted in motivation and generally an actual team.
RIP Aftermath
Aftermath 0.4 doesn't have a lot of extra features but it's our most stable version with over 20 fixes!
Latest version of aftermath with a new map, a new weapon and some new features!
After the release we encountered a mass of bugs which were approached and found as we played on servers with freinds, this patch fixed over 20 bugs and...
Here it is!, after fixing and waiting for maps its signed, sealed and delivered ( not yet delivered ). A list of features is in the newest news ( ill...
I reuploaded with some new fixes also i added some code which should reset server which have been abandoned, i have also been set head admin of the zs...
Hey, you need really to add a way to heal yourself and also a way to know you are with low health. I only noticed the blood trail following me after 5 rounds and I died with a single hit since I couldn't heal myself and there were no players on the server to keep the game so I had to start over.
i may of forgotten regenerating health, sorry we have a lack of testers and i have a workload from college
So it will be fixed in the next patch?
edit: nvm wrong comment
There is a server up and running!
Its very good! But it needs better AI for the zombies for the map Example if up stairs or down they won't com up or down.
We got a new AI system on Multiplayer.
Uh oh: Speedtest.net
I dont get it too,so we have to download the v1 version again or wait for a fix or something?
v1.5 ( the fix ) will be out sometime next week so probably best not to get v1
Okay,thanks for the info!
I still cant find the multiplayer thing and I dont get what you said D:
Highest Rated (11 agree) 9/10
I love this game lots, and I'm pretty sure you (The dev) have already thought of this but would you mind switching the fast zombies to the normal slow-ish zombies cuz its pretty hard to get to later waves. Could make the sprint less to compensate or make the character weaker. Also I can't find the pack-a-punch, if its in the game, rotfl.

it gets a 1/10, cause theres no 0/10 rating available

Actually this is not true (at least with shocks) there are trade offs. Fixed piston size, larger shaft means less volume of oil below the piston, all other thing equal, so more stroke required for a given level of force, and also less max damping force.
It is complicated but basically there are good reasons why a given shaft size is what it is, and not always as big as possible. The oil has to go somewhere to let the piston move through it to create damping force. The shaft diameter displaces a lot of oil, different amounts at different stroke positions. Think about the hydrolock if there were no gas reservoir. Then there's the whole materials side of it.
BTW great to see a manuf like Wilbers step up and take care of an issue like this.

Standing Rib Roast with Mango and Horseradish Sauce
|Standing rib roast of beef
|12 Pound, chined
|Olive oil
|2 Tablespoon
|Finely chopped parsley
|1 Tablespoon (For Garnish)
|For mango and horseradish sauce
|Ripe mango
|Heavy cream
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Prepared white horseradish
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Finely chopped fresh parsley
|2 Tablespoon
|To Taste
|To Taste
Wipe the beef well with paper towels.
Stand the roast in a large roasting pan, fat side uppermost.
Rub the meat all over with the olive oil, then season well.
Roast the beef in a preheated 425° oven for 1 hour, then reduce the oven temperature to 375° and continue roasting for a further 1 1/2 hours, basting the beef frequently during cooking with its drippings.
Remove the beef from the oven and allow to cool, then cover loosely with foil and refrigerate overnight.
To make the mango and horseradish sauce, carefully peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit.
Chop the mango flesh into small pieces.
Whip the cream until thick.
Mix the mango, horseradish, cream and parsley together, then spoon into a serving bowl.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve the beef, carefully cut away the feather bones from the meat with a sharp knife, if the butcher has not already done this.
Leave the rib bones still attached.
Trim off as much fat as is possible from the meat, leaving behind just a thin layer.
Cover the fat with a thin layer of finely chopped parsley—this gives a very attractive appearance.
Place the beef on a board, rib bones down.
Carve into thin slices down to the bones, freeing the meat from the bones with the knife held horizontally against the bones.
Serve with the sauce.

Not exactly "media" (well, not 'entertainment' media), but I haven't gone all-digital on things like textbooks. Games, movies, music - yes, but I buy some of my textbooks (not all) other larger, more involved books such as Piketty's Capital in physical form.
If I want to enjoy something, I'm perfectly happy with current digital options. If I want to learn something - physical for me thanks.
Posted 03 August 2014 - 11:18
Haven't bought a CD in years, but have over 6,000 of them, and have never bought a movie dvd. Last game I bought was way back for PS2 and that was for my kid. All cd's are in a beautiful home made rack inside a walkin closet.
Don't stream crap either! Anything that has to do with just setting in front of the tv or computer to watch something is dull as heck.
Posted 03 August 2014 - 13:21
I'm sort of in between the first two options on the poll. On one hand, I like physical media because there is nothing quite like owning the media that includes the software (it gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling especially if the software is Windows). On the other hand, digital media has several advantages compared to physical media. For example, I don't have to worry about it being damaged, lost or stolen.
I will definitely purchase physical media after the new Super Smash Bros is released.
Posted 03 August 2014 - 13:22
Only buy CDs of bands I like if the pre order bundle is good, have Play music sub for the rest, same for movies, buy the rare BR of the rare movie worth spending money on
As for games, I game on my PC like you're supposed to, I'll download those, most pre orders are not worth the trip to GameStop
Posted 03 August 2014 - 17:23
The only reason why disagree with the last stament of your post, "I don't have to worry about being damaged or lost or stolen is because if the company decides that you violate the DRM they take control of your content". If you need an example check out that (finish) lady with the fiasco with Amazon.
I understand where you are coming from and you make a good point, but I must admit that DRM hasn't really been a concern for me . . . It has been quite the opposite, in fact.
As others have mentioned, both types of media have pros and cons.
Posted 03 August 2014 - 17:41
I have been 100% physical media free since about 2005, about 2 years after Steam came out, and I also started with the first Cloud Storage services, I think dropbox was 2007. Music used to be always illegally bought, so never had discs for it, now I use Rdio or Google Drive. The only thing I needed to keep for awhile was discs for Windows, but that quickly went away when I figured out how to use USB drives.
Posted 03 August 2014 - 17:54
I haven't purchased a physical DVD since my last tour in Afghanistan in 2012. I hope the reasoning for that is obvious. I've never purchased a Bluray movie ever. The only physical media I buy would be Xbox games, but you didn't have a Video Games only category in the poll, and since even that is very rare I went ahead and marked the I have gone completely non-physical.

I love the old fashioned "ie" nicknames as full names. Connie is so cute. Although it comes off as slightly dated compared to Hattie or Lottie, I still think its usable! I would pair it with a timeless, all-girl middle name...

Video and Music players should have a slider to RW/FF
If not a slider that is controllable, at least the ability to enter a specific time to jump to!
67 comments
Martha Lumia 735 commented
Yes useful!
Anonymus commented
Slider is available with developper preview of 8.1 update 1!
Be patient or install developper preview. I've been waiting for so long for that feature, so happy to use it!
This really does suck! Having to spam the fast forward button, freezes video playback, then have to start from the beginning. I love the platform, but common sense things need to be addressed. Maybe the guys in Redmond, are using Iphones. Fast forward/rewind scrubber pleeeeaaaaase!
Benny commented
The scrubber (slider) is on the latest Windows phone, at least in the default Music app. :)
Jose O commented
Come on this is basic, a slider to move to any part of a song, is not real that we don't have this on WP8
A. F. B. commented
Especially the native music player needs one! For example: If you open a sound file in WP8 using the file explorer there is no slider! That's quite inconsistent!
Dmitry commented
Video player has the slider, but music player has't!
Why!? Where is the problem? I don't believe that is too difficult to do this function. But it will be very usefull.
Benjamin Anson commented
The video player that comes with all Windows phones doesn't have the slider feature, but some video players do. For example, the Metro Tube, YouTube client, has a brilliant video player, that allows the user to select quality of the video and we are able to slide the slider to the point of the video that we want to go to.
If app developers can do it for the Windows Phone platform, then Microsoft can do it for their own platform/software!!
MoeHD7 commented
Can't believe this is still missing!! Streaming videos is a mess on WP..smh just make the new 8.1 Xbox video player the default player especially for when streaming content. When user watch a video via FB they want to be able to control it! The same way you added video controls for inline video playback on YouTube now we need video controls for every other video site
please Joe Belfiore, add a draggable seek bar for xbox music and videos!
matmow commented
mistake of my life
1.never should have bought windows phone...
this is a really basic feature ....
If i had the power of time travelling i would go back and get an android phone...
i learnt the hard way why windows phones are worthless
Any app heve slider? WP8 wouth this funnction like StoneAge os
Wow, over 2 years and counting and they still haven't fixed this. They have to know it's a problem. It's clear to me that this is a problem with the OS since none of the MP3 player apps I can find have this feature. I need it for foreign language study.
NLTL commented
Within Video play back a slider is implemented, but works not very sensible and not with streaming contents. Only with Videos from your phone.
Patrick commented
It would be very comfortable. One of the (big) things i miss since i changed from android (i guess that shows, how happy i'm with WP)
spgba commented
totally agree
Previous comment is happened to every Windows phone users.plz solve this soon
I love the innovative aspects of the WP8 operating system but when I try to tell my friends about it this is the sort of thing that is just embarrassing and makes them laugh off the idea of ever switching. Come on Redmond, this is the definition of low hanging fruit.
Pathetic to wait for years hoping this functionality would come in the next update and that next update always disappoints!! This is coming out of frustration by waiting and waiting for the very basic stuff hence I'm saying windows phone 7.X and 8 really sucks!!! Are you deaf MICROSOFT??
