The Species found iu America are thus distriljuted : -America-Northern 15 Central Corylophus Peruanus.-Breviterovalis, glaber. l;evis, niger, prothorace antico pedibusqne testaceis, prothorace antice rotundato, margine paullo (lateraliter magis) deplanato; coleopteris apice rotundatis, lateribus margiuatis.Long. IJ ; lat. 1 mill. -Broader than C. cassidoides, black, shining, front of thorax and legs yellow, thorax semicircular, with the margins slightly reflesed, posterior angles acute, elytra moderately convex, sides margined.Although the foregoing descriptions are too imperfect for identification without the aid of types, the species seem to be distinct, since the characters given do not agree with any others with which I am acquainted ; but from such scanty material it is not possible to form any reliable opinion.

Osteopathic institutions report more positive attitudes toward e-learning and technology, but allopathic schools on an average have more technology available and longer years of use.

The recent and projected status of energy production and consumption in the U.S., resulting in substantial dependencies upon foreign oil, has continued to provide pressure on domestic energy security. All told, bio-energy systems, and biomass crop production in particular, will be important elements of national security, economic vitality, and public policy. Using biomass crop estimates based upon models developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we identify potential biomass crop production zones within the contiguous 48 states of the United States using spatially centered analytic methods. The Midwest and the South regions of the United States are, by far, the largest regions of potential production. However, the Midwest region holds a number of advantageous positions over the South in relation to social and economic competition, which is likely to hinder the development of a bio-economy in the region. Furthermore, we include here the physical location of existing biofuel refinement plants as a measure of the currently available infrastructure. The implications of these spatially advantageous zones for energy policy for alternative biomass crop production are discussed.

Students in mixed race classrooms often find it difficult to discuss race. Using an assignment where students must have a conversation with someone who lived during the Civil Rights Movement (CRM) brings an element of oral history into the discussion of race and ethnicity. Students are able to discuss race using a historical lens from the perspective of their conversation partner rather than their own. Sharing opinions and observations from an oral history advantageously allows students the ability to distance themselves from the emotionally charged subject. The discussion ultimately leads to comments regarding the current racial climate in the United States. This article highlights students’ experiences talking with an elder about race, having a conversation about race in a mixed race classroom, and the role of this assignment.
