In association with
New bikes
21 June 2013 15:03
Triumph has given the popular Speed Triple 1050 a light refresh with a new blue colour available along with some minor cosmetic changes including a clear rear light and accessories now fitted as standard.The iconic Speed Triple has been around in the current form since 2010 and this is the first time the bike has been altered. It's expected this bike will be replaced by a much more heavily revised version within the next couple of years and this latest tweak is a way of keeping interest in the bike running.The new Matt Caspian blue colour scheme will be offered alongside the existing black and white paintjobs and all three versions get gold wheel pinstripes, gold decals along with a flyscreen, bellypan and black exhaust heat shields all as standard. The rear light now has a clear lens and there are rubber tank pads fitted too.The new bikes have been available since Monday this week (June 24) and cost £9599 on the road. Non ABS models are not available for 2014 and the price remains the same for the ABS equipped bikes as they currently are.

getting on, power please
Ducati are launching a 150 bhp Monster, the new Superduke is 180bhp, BMW are looking at a new naked, Triumph please dont get left behind, the Speed tripple is a great bike but changing the colour and giving away a fly screen isnt enough. when the Blade came out I remember reading an article saying it was like sitting on a cruise missile, now we would think of that old original 900rr as a bit soft and cuddly. Please Triumph get it right and stop copying BMW, remember better a Tiger than a sheep!

Still think my 2009 black Speed Triple was the best looking version they made. :)

Matt blue. That sounds dull. Who comes up with these dull colours? Nearly £10k too. You may as well just put it on the market for £8k in grey primer and say to the customer, get it sprayed yourself.
Hope the new one is better looking with a better colour choice and a cheaper price tag.

The Speed Triple looks like something one would use bug spray on. :(

London Fashion Week: Mulberry and Cara Delevingne will #SeeYouSunday
Mulberry has released an intriguing 24-second film ahead of its show at London Fashion Week, showing model Cara Delevingne, a train station, a taxi and not much else.
The black and white film deliberately gives very little away, showing clips of the model interspersed with teasing shots of a busy train station, a clock face and the famous Mulberry-branded tags being sewn on to bags, finishing with Delevingne placing a finger to her lips and saying "See you Sunday".
The film was released on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Google+ with the hashtag #SeeYouSunday, with the only information about what the brand is planning being that it will happen at 1.30 on Sunday 16th February.
Mulberry are not staging a catwalk show at Fashion Week as a result of not yet having appointed a new creative director, following Emma Hill's departure last year, making the release of the film even more interesting.

Because Wells Fargo is crooked and have no sympathy for people.
- Petitioned Teri Schrettenbrunner
This petition was delivered to:
Wells Fargo: Save the home of bone marrow transplant recipients!
Petition by
Inola, OK
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
After close to 180,000 people signed Kathy's petition, Wells Fargo has stopped the foreclosure and offered her a loan modification to allow her to stay in her home. Kathy had been going back and forth with the bank for years. Now, she will be able to keep the home she lives in with three of her daughters.
Kathy said, "I cannot even begin to thank everyone enough for the help and support. So much weight and stress has been lifted off my shoulders. Now it will be so much easier to concentrate on my first grandbaby, Kingston James Brewer, who is due in June.
I have lived at my home in Inola, Oklahoma with my three daughters for over 20 years. Recently, my home was renovated by volunteers from my community so that two of my daughters, Brittany and Casse, who were both diagnosed with a rare immune disorder and had to receive bone marrow transplants would have a home to return to that is fit for their recovery, for example, with special ventilation systems, etc. It was almost like an epiode of Extreme Home Makeover. Now Wells Fargo is foreclosing on my home and my daughters and I could be evicted as soon as May.
For years, Wells Fargo has lost my paperwork and given me the run-around, but I never missed a mortgage payment. I'm a single mom and my family has been through a lot in the last few years. I had to take off months of work to care for my daughters while they received surgeries out of state and medical bills piled up. I'm not asking for a handout. I just want to be able to live in the home I've lived in for years with my daughters and to continue to make mortgage payments at a reasonable level.
Will you join me in asking Wells Fargo to stop the foreclosure on my home and to grant me a permanent loan modification?

For years, Kathy...
For years, Kathy has been working to modify her loan so that she and her daughters can stay in their home and she's never missed a mortgage payment. Now she needs help to stay in her home. Will you stop the foreclosure on her home and provide her with a permanent loan modification so that Kathy can stay in her home?

Loan Modification
I finally talked to Wells Fargo, after reviewing all of the paperwork I sent them, they agreed that HomEq was in error when they filed forclosure. Wells Fargo is going to do a loan modification and I get to keep my home. I don't have any details as far as numbers go they are sending me the paperwork to fill out. I am just happy that I get to keep my home.
I received a call from Sadie Walker with Wells Fargo today she told me "The forclosure has been stopped and we are working on a resolution you will be very pleased with". I cannot even begin to thank everyone enough for the help and support. So much weight and stress has been lifted off my shoulders. Now it will be so much easier to concentrate on my first grandbaby. Kingston James Brewer is due June 11. THANK YOU AGAIN! I will post the resolution they give me when I get it.
I got a call from Wells Fargo today. Have to call them back tomorrow.
Hopefully It was good news, by the time I got off work their office was closed. I will call them back tomorrow. I will update the petition when I have news.

Those who opposed the Affordable Care Act didn't believe that illness could cause a person to have to declare bankruptcy, and losing a home is in the same realm of financial misfortune. I'm guessing Wells Fargo accepted bailout money, so it's outrageous for them to take such a hard line against one of their mortgagees. If they can't help people stay in their homes, next time the banks are in trouble we should take them over and break them up, so they're no longer too big to fail. Maybe we should do that now anyway. They haven't learned a thing.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

I'm in real estate ... and WELLS is THE WORST. And my Mother had a mort w/ WF ... and after her husband passed away ... I was reorganizing her entire life .. starting with the mort terms. Everything they quoted me wrong ... and, in the 9th hour ,,, they didn't give me the mort option I wanted. The loan was supposed to close by the end of Feb that year. They told me that I didn't have to pay the mort pymt until the new loan was due. The new loan didn't come thru until the middle of April ... and I rec'd harrassing calls from one of the dept inWF .. telling me we were in default. One dept doesn't know what the other dept is doing. And it's always in the 9th hour that they come up w/ some other document that they want. God forbid they requested from the beginning. They're a mess. A BAD GROUP!!!! I finally got the mort approved. I found out that the loan officer wouldn't get his commission if I closed the loan w/in 4 mths. I called another bank I work with ... told them to get on with a new loan for my Mother ... and I closed it immediately ... within a month's time. So my loan officer never got his commission. I wrote him and told him that I'm sure he understands that I had to do what was best financially for my Mother. ooooops. Can't STAND WELLS FARGO. I've closed every account with them .. telling them in no uncertain terms as to "WHY".REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Because I lost my sister and her son to Leukemia after bone marrow transplants and I know that what this family and those children need is some consistency in their lives - Being able to stay in their home will decrease their stress levels making healing more productive. Stress can diminish your immune system - something these girls conditions have already compromised. God Bless Kathy and her family!REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Devotionals Daily: A Year with Jesus - April 2
From Right from the Heart by Bryant Wright
Real Marriage, Real Friends
They are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate. - Matthew 19:6
Jesus taught that marriage is not just about the husband-and wife relationship. A Christian marriage is really a symbolic reminder of Christ's relationship with the people of faith. That is why Jesus added a most important aspect to loving our mates: exclusive loyalty in the marriage relationship.
We could look at many aspects when learning how to love our mates with the exclusive loyalty of committed love: the importance of the husband's need for respect from his wife, and the wife's need for romantic love from her husband; the importance of listening, time, forgiveness, compassion, kindness; the importance of controlling our tongues and not saying those hurtful things we're so prone to say. You see, there are all kind of things we could talk about in loving our mates, but behind Jesus' basic explanation of what it means to love our spouses is this insight: your spouse is to be your best friend. Not Mom or Dad, sibling or friend, even a child—no one should be closer to you than your spouse! With a real friend in our spouse, we have a sense of commitment that truly says in our hearts and our actions, till death do us part.

Hillary Clinton is adamantly denying that she'll run for President in 2016 so much that I'm actually starting to believe her. Whenever she's asked about it, she doesn't even leave the door open a little bit, which is surprising. I just don't know. I can't imagine that she would pass up the opportunity to be the first female President — and I don't think anyone would deny that she'd be the front-runner if she ran. The firm denial that she keeps giving about a possible Presidential bid is curious, however. It's not quite a General Sherman statement, but she's gotten pretty close.
The 2016 campaign is a LONG way away, though (thankfully). A lot can happen between now and then. The fact that she's stepping down as Secretary of State now has nothing to do with 2016. That's a tough job, it's rough being in a Presidential Cabinet, and few Cabinet members stay for even one full term, let alone two (Obama has had a remarkably stable Cabinet). I think she's probably burned out and ready for something different.
As for General Petraeus, I'm not devastated. I had a lot of respect for the General, but I wasn't in charge of his fan club or anything. I was very surprised, but I have no reason to be devastated. He didn't cheat on me.

I've been having a few chats since I put up this blog post a few days back and feel I should put up a discussion in the forums rather than keeping it in the blogs: Goodbye old boy - Retiring our HTPC - Blogs - EduGeek.net
Once the kids Wii arrived on Christmas day it became apparent that almost all of the reasons we had been using a media PC for (over an 8 year period) had become redundant in our house. These primarily were:
- Being able to access and record digital TV without a freeview box
- As above but for satellite
- Gaming on the TV
- Providing blu-ray playback
- Storing digital photos/movies
- Internet access
Now, a lot of these features were added over a period of time and as things in the home entertainment market progressed almost all of these reasons were replaced with affordable dedicated devices that provided far better functionality, such as a blu-ray player, Tivo box and the Wii for gaming (It's for the kids...honest!). That is not to say that this will be the case for everyone. A newly built media PC can provide, at little cost, all of the functions listed above for those who need it and don't want cable contracts or have space issues or just need something more portable.
But for us to bring the media pc up to speed it would have involved buying new HD tuners, graphics card and motherboard/processor/RAM in the next year. In short, almost a whole new setup.
However, we still need some of the features that it provided, just delivered differently. Primarily amongst these is storage. We need somewhere were we can place photos, music, movies etc, and now that NAS boxes are affordable, we can have a couple of terabytes at hand in a small, low powered, networked chassis that can be available 24/7 from our laptops. So I ordered a duel bay Zyxel one in the sales :)
On top of this we still need to have internet access on the living room TV for browsing, YouTube and other online media. For this I'm getting a Raspberry Pi that can be powered either from the TV's USB port or by separate mains adaptor. Running XMBC it should also enable us to access the NAS for photos and movies (our TV is a few years old and not DLNA enabled).
I'm also toying with the idea of getting a cheap Android tablet such as this:55509 - STORAGE OPTIONS - SCROLL BASIC PLUS V2 7" ANDROID | CPC to go in the kitchen and stream music/radio into an old set of Creative speakers we have fitted there, as well as possibly into the bedroom.
So, if you have any thoughts or ideas you want to add to this little project (I'll keep you all posted on how it all goes on) please feel free to add them. But I do feel that the next big (yet affordable) step that any self respecting geek can do is to get some centralised storage in the house and if you have already done this please let me know what you have done with yours and what pitfalls (if any) I should be looking out for.

Resumes: The Struggle is RealPosted: April 16, 2014 Filed under: College Students, High School Students, Writing | Tags: college jobs, college students, cover letter, High School Students, job interview, job search, resume, resume help Comments Off
How is it that as students no one ever really teaches us to write resumes?
There are so few opportunities to hone this skill as a young adult or adolescent.
I know the only reason I've been able to practice this skill is because my dad has always been very pro-active about equipping me with the career-oriented skills needed to be successful. Now that I'm a college student living two states away, getting his advice has become a little more tricky, so naturally I turned to the only place I knew I could get reliable and up to date information quickly, the web. With so many websites and apps available to advise people on career oriented techniques and information, it took no time at all to identify what today's evolving economy calls for in terms of resumes.
The days of resumes with stiff, formal language and generic formatting are long gone. Future employers want to know you, not just your education and experience. Today's resumes are all about showcasing your talents and skills and demonstrating why you'll be advantageous to the company in question.
Here are five tips on how best to market yourself through your resume…
Changes Are Afoot for the SATPosted: March 6, 2014 Filed under: College Students, Education, High School Students, Teachers & Teaching | Tags: act, college application, college board, High School Students, sat, sat essay, sat vocabulary, standardized tests, Testing, The College Board Comments Off
Yesterday it was announced that the SAT would be revising its test for the second time in just over a decade. To help you prepare for the next version of this popular standardized test, find here an outline of the changes plus other important announcements from The College Board that will impact future college admissions.
What will the new SAT look like?
The new SAT, to be released in 2016, will feature four significant changes:
- The SAT essay, introduced in 2005, will become an optional segment of the exam
- SAT scoring, also changed in 2005, will return from the 2400- to the 1600-point system
- Points will no longer be deducted for incorrect answers (currently students lose 1/4 of a point for each wrong answer)
- And lastly, "SAT vocabulary" will become a thing of the past, as complete-the-sentence sections of the exam are replaced by ones that test students' critical reading of a passage.
Why make these changes?
One thought that struck me when I read over these changes was that the SAT is increasingly becoming more like the ACT. The criteria are familiar: no deduction of points for incorrect answers, no required essay, and a significant critical reading section are all key points of the ACT that many students over the past decade have recognized as advantages to taking it over the SAT. So much so that gone are the days that the SAT is the go-to test; when I was a high school junior, nobody ever mentioned the ACT, but when I became a test-prep tutor five years later it was the exam 90% of my students elected to take. Why? When they were evaluated at the start of our course, the overwhelming majority performed better on the ACT than the SAT. It gave them a step-up in achieving a higher ranking, and as students' favor of the test increased, colleges' willingness to accept it on equal terms with the SAT followed suit.
For whatever reason, be it an attempt to curry more favor (and cash) or a genuine recognition of a need to assess students more fairly, the SAT is moving towards a format more similar to the ACT.
What do these changes mean for students?
When I tutored students for the SAT, a significant focus of our preparation was on strategy. To perform well, one has to form a plan of attack, making a practical decision from the outset on how many questions would need to be answered to achieve the desired score. That's because every wrong answer a student might give could decrease his or her overall score, thanks to the quarter-point deduction for an incorrect choice. Except for the cases where students strove for a perfect score, it was more advantageous to leave x number of questions blank.
Now, however, the idea of "SAT strategy" will be tossed by the wayside. Is this good or bad? Perhaps we should simply say it assesses a different skill. The SAT Reasoning Test, to go by its full name, was designed to test a student's ability to reason and evaluate. In reality, though, this has meant that Read the rest of this entry »

The High Cost of CollegePosted: January 24, 2014 Filed under: College Students, Education, High School Students, Infographic, Student Loans | Tags: college, college debt, college education, cost of college, High School Students, student debt, students, university Comments Off
How to decide whether a four-year degree is right for you.
In a post from May last year we pondered the question, should everyone go to college? And what might still be surprising to some, the answer was a resounding no. As eNotes editor and college professor Jamie described it then,
I believe anyone who wants an education should pursue one. But I also see many incredibly gifted students who have skills that they are actively discouraged from mastering because they are supposed to have a Bachelor's degree. I see young people who have no real interest or desire to stay in school another four years who are miserable and many who are racking up debt when they could be doing something they enjoy, avoiding debt, and making money.
The prevailing opinion in America is that every student must go to college; if they don't, they've somehow failed, or been failed by the system. Yet the cost of an American college education is among the highest in the world. So, if that college degree does you no favors in the job force, or if you drop out before completing your four years, you're burdened with a mass of student debt to shoulder for the next twenty years.
That's why it's important to look at the costs of a college education, weighing out the pros and cons of each side and determining what's right for you. If you plan to spend your life in academia, of course a university education is a necessity. But if you'd be better suited to a skilled trade, would the debt and time spent out of the workforce pay off? Here's an excellent infographic from affordable-online-colleges.net to help you weigh your options. You might be surprised by what you find, like the high success rates of those who choose a two-year college over pursuing a Bachelor's degree.

Apple's Mac business recently celebrated its 30th birthday. In an era where entire products, companies and platforms seldom last more than one decade, three is exceptionally impressive. And not only is the Mac alive, despite massive industry change — it just put in its second-best year ever, with 17.1 million shipments in 2013.
But 2013 also marked the second year in a row that Mac shipments didn't increase, after a significant growth period last decade. Annual shipments peaked in 2011, shy of 18 million, and quarterly shipments peaked two years ago, with 5.2 million in the December 2011 period.
The real story, of course, is the growth of the iPad. Apple's "computer" business, combining the Mac and iPad, just reported its best quarter ever, passing 30 million units for the first time ever.
But it's still worth studying the Mac on its own. Have sales truly peaked for good? All signs point to yes: The declining PC industry, the gradual shift from desktops to notebooks to tablets, and the increasing longevity of Macs, requiring less-frequent replacement cycles. It seems more likely than not that we've seen the one and only 5+ million-Mac-shipments quarter in its history.
That said, there's still some wiggle room. This past quarter's 4.8 million Mac shipments marked a surprising growth acceleration, and was within 10% of the all-time record. A repeat, combined with some special circumstances — and perhaps a dramatically compelling new MacBook Air — could potentially set a new high-water mark.
Anyway, this is mostly an academic (and nostalgic) exercise — Apple's future success and growth probably has nothing to do with the Mac, at least not directly. Apple has long graduated from being the Mac company, at least in sales and profits. All signs still point to a slow, steady — noble? — decline.
What if Microsoft had bought BlackBerry in 2009 instead?
The story here isn't that Microsoft didn't see the mobile revolution coming. It just peaked way too early, and wasn't prepared when Apple showed up with something a lot better.
AOL vs. Netflix: The Entire Internet In One Simple Chart
At the end of March, almost 2.7 million people still subscribed to AOL service, the company reported this morning. That's about where Netflix stood at the end of 2004.
Since then, Netflix's subscriber base has grown — 29 million at the end of March — and AOL's has declined at a remarkably parallel rate.

Quiet Company has one of the more interesting backstories to come along in a while, but even that's not as compelling as their actual music. Over two albums, the Austin five-piece began making a few waves in Christian-rock circles without ever identifying themselves as such, though their themes and lyrics were close enough for Christian fans. Then when leader Taylor Muse realized he was losing his own faith, he channeled his spiritual crisis into a record that doesn't sound like a crisis at all. Quiet Company's third album, We Are All Where We Belong, mingles love songs to Muse's young daughter with the idea that "the pagan and the pious, they all sound the same," in lushly realized indie rock rooted in Grandaddy and Sparklehorse, but whose swells can be as grandiose and dynamic as Polyphonic Spree and Arcade Fire. If Quiet Company was a minor success on the Christian circuit before, Belong was a smash hit in their hometown — walking away with a staggering nine wins at this year's Austin Music Awards. Saturday night with Houston's the Tontons (who headline) and Featherface, Quiet Company — last seen around here sweating bullets at Free Press Summer Fest — will at least put their faith in the power of air-conditioning.

Wii U Downloads will NOT store on SD Cards
Looks like USB drive is your only hope.
During an Q&A interview with Nintendo of Japan, details emerged about using external devices for storage purpose and while the translation could be off it detailed this.
- Downloaded software can go to internal memory or external USB device. SD Card not supported
- Your downloaded content cannot be transferred to another Wii U
- You can move content to USB drive but not copy
The details are still sketchy but it looks like USB flash drives and USB external hard drives are the way to go. Coming from someone who just bought a 32 GB SD Card, I'll have to wait till Black Friday to get a good deal on a 1 TB USB Drive.

Here at WSC we use a service called Ruckus (www.ruckus.com)
installation and hardware was free (as long as you have at least 3000
students to sign-up in the first year). Students can listen to songs
for free through their proprietary player (runs on Windows only for
now). If they want a copy of the song on their hard drive they pay $1
per song.

As part of our effort to revamp our DMCA compliance and education

to be able to take the music with them when they leave unlike some
subscription based services that are out there. We would simple get
them access to our captive audience and help them advertise in exchange
for a substantial discount for our constituents. We wouldn't actually be
offering to pay for anything. Just a partnership to get them easy

Highway, a winner for everyone
Besides winning hearts everywhere Imtiaz Ali's Highway has turned out to be a win-win situation for everyone involved with the film.
The Alia Bhatt-Randeep Hooda-starrer, which has been the toast of every town playing the movie thanks to positive word of mouth, has been a profitable venture all around.
"The cost of the film including P&A is Rs. 18.25 cr and the revenues earned pre-release was Rs.15.50 crore, thus recovering 85% of the cost even before the film was released on February 21," said an official release.
"When you add the box office collections of Highway till Tuesday(25th Feb), of another Rs.18.23 cr from just 800 screens, you know how big a hit it has been," it said.
Said presenter Sajid Nadiadwala: "Highway was always a profitable film, made & marketed at a tight cost and released in select 800 screens only, and the way it has been growing amongst audiences since Friday, it's turning out to be a huge success for all of us. Hope the love for the movie keeps pouring in, in the next few days."
"I have not received such warmth from the theatre audience before. Will always remember this time." added Imtiaz, who has been visiting theatres across cities to get audience reaction first hand.
The film, produced by Window Seat Films and presented by Nadiadwala, was released worldwide by UTV Motion Pictures on Feb 21.

Duncan as the President while Marla Gibbs, Gladys Knight and Jackee Harry playing members of the First Family. The series is starting with an order for 104 episodes, so it should be around for a while.
What's the matter with kids these days? Or why are the teenage characters the worst part of so many dramas? Blame is attributed to network suits who think teen characters will make the show instantly accessible to teen viewers, but I think a bigger problem is that most of these characters only exist as ways to complicate the lead characters' lives. Since we only see them being a hassle to the main characters, they're an annoyance to the viewer as well. For contrast, look at The Good Wife where the teen characters are fully dimensional characters, even when they're primarily making life more difficult for Alicia.
Becoming Chaz producers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato are trying to convince Chaz Bono to sign up for a reality dating series. That won't be new territory for Bailey and Barbato, they also produced Logo's Transamerican Love Story.

HIGHLAND | It's kind of like a singer being named Elvis. Some vocations simply have a name that is recognizable to the public.
Like presidents named George, Highland has a quarterback with a name that fits what he does Friday nights -- Gunner Grider.
And his first name is not a nickname.
"Nope, that's what's on his birth certificate," Highland coach Trent Grider said.
The senior Grider was coaching in Ohio when his son was born. He followed the lead former Bengals' quarterback Boomer Esiason, who named his son Gunnar.
Trent actually walked up to a press box when few were watching, or listening, and repeatedly said into the public address microphone, "Gunner Grider. Gunner Grider."
"I wanted to see what is sounded like," Trent said.
The name has been said over the Highland P.A. the last four years. Although not an A-typical QB, Gunner has started there the last three-plus years for one reason.
"He was the guy we needed there," Trent said.
While Highland has struggled through a 5-34 record the last four years, Grider has put up some solid numbers. He's thrown for 2,000 yards with 16 TDs and 12 interceptions.
He's rushed for 500 yards with nine scores.
He hopes the numbers go up Friday when the Trojans (1-8) travel to Griffith (3-6) for the Class 4A Sectional 9 opener.
"It's not been a lot of fun," Gunner said of the losing. "But you do what you can. You take all the advantages you can. If you get knocked down you get back up on your feet and do whatever it takes."
While Griffith pounded Highland 41-14 in Week 7, Panthers star quarterback Austin Brown was injured last Friday against E.C. Central and did not play in the second half.
His potential absence could bring the two squads closer.
"I remember my first play as a freshman like it was yesterday," Gunner said. "Time has flown by. We have to try to get some momentum going against Griffith. They are one of our biggest rivals. We want to do everything we can."
Coach Grider has been coaching high school football for a long time. His eldest son spent most of his growing up days on a football field with his father.
"It was like I had 60-80 big brothers," he said.
When Trent was at Richmond, Gunner saw his "brothers" huddling before a play. He ran out on the field as the ball was snapped under Friday night lights.
The umpire snatched up the 3-year-old in one arm and got him off the field.
"Yes, we've had our ups and downs," said Stacy Grider, Gunner's mom. "It's harder when it's your son out there. But he's a team player and he does what's best for everyone."

'Ender's Game' blasts to top of weekend box office
Los Angeles • Weekend moviegoers chose sci-fi over slapstick.
"Ender's Game" scored the No. 1 slot at the weekend box office, earning $28 million in its opening weekend and sending "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" into second place, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Lionsgate's adaptation earned an additional $2 million in five international territories.
Based on the novel by Orson Scott Card, "Ender's Game" stars Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford as intergalactic soldiers.
Comments made by Card expressing opposition to gay marriage led some to call for a boycott of the film. But a strong first-place opening met the studio's pre-weekend expectations.
However, ticket sales didn't come close to the opening weekends of other young-adult adaptations such as "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games." It did fare better than "Beautiful Creatures" and "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones."
"'Ender's Game' is a big budget movie that could be the start of a franchise," said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Rentrak. "This time of year is not exactly a hotbed of million-dollar openings, but once they launch worldwide, it will do well."
A representative for Lionsgate declined to be interviewed for this story.
Paramount's candid-camera comedy starring Johnny Knoxville disguised as an old man brought in an additional $20.5 million in its second weekend, with a domestic total reaching more than $62 million. It also picked up $6 million in international ticket sales.
Other films opening this weekend didn't generate as much enthusiasm.
CBS Films' "Last Vegas," featuring an all-star cast of silver screen veterans including Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline, opened in third place, with $16.5 million.
"It's interesting to see the number of stars that are not in their 20s in the top films," Dergarabedian said. "'Ender's Game' has Harrison Ford and Viola Davis, and 'Last Vegas' is like a 'Hangover' for the older crowd. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney (in 'Gravity') appeal to an older audience, and '12 Years a Slave,' which continues to impress as it expands into more and more theaters, is a very sophisticated drama."
Relativity Media's 3-D animated kiddie flick "Free Birds," with characters voiced by Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson and Amy Poehler, debuted in the fourth spot, with $16.2 million.
After its fifth weekend at the box office, the Warner Bros. 3-D stunner "Gravity" is still holding in the fifth position. It banked $13.1 million over the weekend, bringing its domestic total to $220 million. Internationally, it gained $27.1 million.
Considered an Oscar contender, "12 Years a Slave" earned $4.6 million at No. 7 in its third weekend.
Overseas, Disney's "Thor: The Dark World" earned an impressive $109.4 million in its first international weekend. The Marvel superhero sequel opens domestically next weekend.
With the opening of "Thor: The Dark World," Disney's cumulative international box office for 2013 has passed the studio's previous international record of $2.303 billion, which was set in 2010.

Old video game characters are sitting in a circle on metal folding chairs. There's Mega Man, Sonic, Mario, Kirby and others. Kirby moderates the meeting.
Kirby: Hello everyone and welcome to Narcotics Anonymous, I'm glad everyone could come. I see we have some new faces here tonight. Donkey Kong, Bomber Man, glad you could make it. I want you all to share tonight. Everyone here is an addict and shares your pain. For instance I'm a huffer. Huffed everying: glue, paint, bricks but I'm better now. We all could be better, who would like to start?
Mario raises his hand. Kirby gives him the floor.
Mario: Its-a me Mario! And Ima addict. First it started with 'shrooms. They made me feel big powerful. When I could find them I would take psychadelic flowers, and sometimes star shapped acid tabs. They made me feel invincible. One time I stumbled into a pet shop high and killed 12 baby turtles. (sobs) For a while I sold pills to kids. They called me Dr. Mario (breaks down crying) I'ma just a plumber. I wanted to be a hero, to be loved
Sonic: You ain't no hero. I'm a hero.
Kirby: Sonic, wait your turn.
Sonic: Nah, fuck that, man. I'm a god damn enviromentalist! I saved furry animals from robotic cages and defeated a mad scientist! I deserve a reward.
Kirby: What did we say, Sonic? Dr. Robotnik isn't real.
Sonic grumbles to himself and lights a cigarette.
Kirby: Sonic, do you want to tell the group what you're addicted to?
Kirby: Speak up please.
Sonic: Speedballs. I love 'em man speed and heroin, mixed together. I would see rings everywhere, but it was never enough. I just kept running chasing rings.
Kirby: Very good, Sonic. How bout you, Cool Spot?
Cool Spot gives a thumbs up.
Cool Spot: 7up! Cool Spot!
Kirby: Yes, very good. (aside to Bomber Man) Ever since 7up dropped Cool Spot as a marketing character he's fallen on hard times. His brain is fried, he's pretty retarded.
A bit of drool comes out of Cool Spot's mouth. He gives another thumbs up.
Cool Spot: 7up! Cool Spot!
Kirby: Mega Man, would you like to speak before our meeting ends?
Mega Man: Hi, I'm Mega Man. I like Daft Punk. Part robot. I'm a good listener what else? What else?
Kirby: Talk about your addiction.
Meg Man lets out a sigh.
Mega Man: I used to grease myself up with Black Tar Heroin. It got me relaxed. Soon it was all I was doing. The pain of cybernetic surgery would never leave. My wife left me. My friends thought I was a freak. All cause I wanted to save the world. The Heroin helped with the lonliness
Kirby: Well I guess that's it for this week's meeting. I'd like you all to remember Cruisin' USA Driver, who was drunk and crashed his car. His wake will be on Monday at the cathedral in Sim City.

Hyperactivity Disorders of Childhood. Seija Sandberg, ed. 517 pp. Cambridge University Press, 1996. $95.
The study of attention and hyperactivity problems among children is at an important crossroads. Although much of the lay public and many health professionals believe that hyperactivity is a socially constructed disorder, a substantial body of research has begun to accumulate suggesting that, for many children, it is a very real biological condition—one that has profound impacts on their lives. For the first time, a consensus is emerging among researchers that there is a core of children whose brains and nervous systems may really be different. This does not negate the fact that many children with hyperactivity or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD as it is now called in the U.S.) are misdiagnosed. The label includes a heterogeneous group of children, including some who are primarily inattentive and others who are primarily hyperactive and impulsive.
In some American elementary schools, more than 10 percent of the children have been diagnosed with ADHD. A large proportion of these, perhaps as many as 75 percent, are being treated with stimulant medications such as Ritalin. For a condition of such apparent frequency, we know surprisingly little about its origins, how it is distributed in the population, how to best identify it and how to treat it most effectively.
This text successfully uses a multidisciplinary group of expert reviewers to guide the reader through a large volume of often-contradictory literature. They identify what is known about the disorder, where the research gaps are and what is being done to address some of the gaps. Overall, this is the best synthesis of the hyperactivity research literature that I have read. The book is not intended as a popular text, but I think any researcher interested in the etiology and treatment of attention or behavior problems in children will find reading it rewarding. There are excellent chapters on the historical development of our current understanding of hyperactivity, on epidemiological approaches, developmental perspectives, clinical aspects, sex differences and their significance, and on hyperactivity's cross-cultural aspects. The value of using a multidisciplinary approach is illustrated by the discussion of how the frequency and pattern of ADHD symptoms typically change with age. This is one of the characteristics of ADHD that has made understanding it elusive. Both the chapter on developmental perspectives and another that summarizes the longitudinal studies of hyperactive children address these issues thoughtfully from two different vantage points. The chapter on treatment is compelling because it both discusses the huge gaps in our understanding of the risks and benefits of long-term stimulant treatment and succinctly summarizes the literature on various behavioral interventions.
I do have two reservations about the book. The first is that, although the chapter on biologic aspects gives an excellent review of the literature up to 1993, it was outdated before the book was published, because this area of research has been changing so quickly. My second reservation is that because there has been a historic schism between American and European psychiatry about how to classify attention and behavioral problems—which is apparent in the differences between the two classification manuals, the European ICD-10 and the American DSM-IV—it would have been helpful to the reader to have had an American expert present that side of this debate. British clinicians typically classify most of the children that American clinicians call ADHD as "conduct disordered." Active dialogue about the implications of these two approaches is critical for the development of better standardized research criteria for both conditions. Despite these two reservations, I highly recommend this book.—Andrew S. Rowland, Epidemiology Branch, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, N.C.

ANIMATION: Hydrangea Colors: It's All in the Soil
The Hydrangea macrophylla (big-leafed hydrangea) plant is the only known plant that can 'detect' the pH level in surrounding soil!
One of the world's most popular ornamental flowers, it conceals a bouquet of biological and biochemical surprises. The iconic "snowball" shaped hydrangea blooms are a common staple of backyard gardens.
Hydrangea colors ultimately depend on the availability of aluminum ions(Al3+) within the soil.

Policy Statement 304 - Qualifications-Based Selection of Professional Engineers
Approved by the Engineering Practice Policy Committee on August 6, 2013
Approved by the Public Policy Committee on August 14, 2013
Adopted by the Board of Direction on October 8, 2013
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) believes that the selection of Professional Engineers as prime consultants and subcontractors should be based on the qualifications of the engineering firm. Qualifications including education, training, experience, past-performance, capabilities, personnel and workloads should be evaluated when selecting an engineering firm.
Cost of engineering services, while important and meriting careful negotiations, is related to work to be performed which often is not clearly defined at the time the engineer is selected. Therefore, selecting consultants based on cost is not recommended.
ASCE supports qualifications-based selection (QBS) procedures such as those specified by the Brooks Architect-Engineers Act of 1972, 40 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., more than 40-mini Brooks Acts, and the American Bar Association's Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments for the engagement of engineering services. ASCE recommends that the application of these procedures to the development of a scope of work and the selection, procurement and administration of contracts for engineering services be the responsibility of technically qualified staff of the project owner.
Often an owner may believe that the pivotal issue in the selection of a professional engineer is the cost of services. Also, an owner may perceive that accepting the low price to perform the work produces the project with the lowest total cost. In some instances, engineering services are essentially subject to bid based on the lowest offered fee, whether or not the proposed services and professional qualifications are substantially equal.
The relevant experience, ability, and specific technical approaches of the proposing design professionals are more important to the life-cycle cost of any project than is the initial engineering fee, which is generally a relatively small percentage of the overall project cost.
The QBS procedure is characterized by three basic steps: (1) the owner selects the professional engineer believed best qualified to perform the required work without considering fee; (2) the owner and the selected professional engineer confer to determine and/or review the scope of work, including contract scheduling; and (3) a fee for engineering services is negotiated based upon the mutually developed scope of work. In the event a mutually acceptable scope of services and fee cannot be negotiated, the owner may move on to the next highest ranked qualified professional. Thus, cost is addressed at the appropriate time after the scope of services has been fully defined.
The cost of engineering services, while important and meriting careful negotiations, is generally a relatively small percentage of the overall cost to plan, design, build, operate and maintain a project and may be related to work that is not clearly defined at the time the engineer is selected. Therefore, selecting consultants based solely on the cost of their initially proposed services is not recommended.

First Approved in 1985
