Yes sir! I've already broken this one again, not sure what to do about that. I'm working on getting a unicycle for the cube while unicycling thing, and a few other weird ones. I also plan on beating some more Pi ones.
Dan Rollman
Awesome. Keep the radical feats coming. Beating unicycle/Rubik's would be epic -- that's a landmark category.
Dan Rollman
Well done, Michael. Are Rubik's Cube records next?
Nikki Cuaton
Thanks Michael for the correction. I just made the comment base on the original setter's value and a little research on Wikipedia. Looking into your research I guess this one can be considered as the Current Record since there's no particular statement in the criteria stating which value must use... :)
Michael Neale
Ok, so from Wolfram Alpha, the Mathematica people, we have: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282... The disputed digits are 38327950 - which Nikki says are supposed to be 3"0" 8 "2" 2795 "4". Unless Mathematica is wrong on this one (very unlikely!) the record should stand.
your words go off the page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nikki Cuaton
I heard 3.141592653589793238462643 "3" 8 "3" 2795 "0" 288419716939937510 instead of 3.141592656589792308462643 "0" 8 "2" 2795 "4" 288419716939937510 nice try Meghann I'm sure you can beat this one..try to submit another one but of course make sure you use the correct value of Pi:)

LIKE I SAID OTHER DAY ONE BOXING CHAMPPosted August 1, 2013 2:02 pm
Mick the Marmalizer
I just hope the winner starts unification. WBA titlist Beibut Shumenov offered Clev a 50% cut on neutral ground(USA) but was flatly turned down.Posted August 1, 2013 6:26 am
Tark has bought into the Krusher hype, maybe when Clev whips his ass he will give Clev his credit where its due.Posted August 1, 2013 4:23 am
Krusher stopped a past it Campillo, his best win yet.Posted August 1, 2013 4:21 am
great fight for a couple of rounds until Clevs work-rate takes over and he dominates Krusher.Posted August 1, 2013 4:20 am
Hi Tark. I like the look of Kovalev. His punches dont look that big but when they land they have such a destructive effect on the opponent. A sign of natural power.
Ward= parasite style ,feeds off opponents style and has none of his own.Posted August 1, 2013 4:16 am
@ Tark – Ward is not willing to fight in England. I don't know where you got that from.Posted August 1, 2013 4:03 am
Ward is willing to go to England to rematch with Froch… But Froch isn't keen on fighting him again.
After their last fight Froch said, "I don't think anyone will ever beat Ward."Posted July 31, 2013 9:54 pm
Ward will unravel when he fights away, he probably knows it, you won't get away with the butting and holding, you will get warned for it at the least, different environment, different then, is Ward going to be known as a Sven Ottke, he is already on the way there, or not, no he isn't going anywhere, passport will accumulate some more layers of dust.Posted July 31, 2013 9:37 pm
Ward butted Kessler constantly, that's why he got infamous, he will never be famous for that, 2 different things.Posted July 31, 2013 9:29 pm
Ward the fraud, will not fight away, Froch will walk through him next time, he can't punch, Froch has changed his style with the Bute fight, watch out Ward, you are getting knocked out if you fight Froch.Posted July 31, 2013 9:21 pm
You can do it without a lot of fights and rounds.. Depends on how good you are.Posted July 31, 2013 8:44 pm
I do … Kovalev needs rounds… He needs names on his resume… He needs fights… He has the raw goods.
His lack of experience and opposition are the only reasons Cleverly's team thinks this is the perfect time to fight Kovalev… It's a natural miscalculation.
And Kessler wasn't proven because he never passed a real test.. Froch is a proven fighter to a limited degree, but he failed the big test.. Calzaghe was a proven fighter only to the extent he dominataed Kessler.. He turned down fights with Froch, Dawson, Glen Johnson, and Tarver.
You have to remember Ward dominated and stopped Kessler when he had only 20 fights — fewer than Kovalev has now.Posted July 31, 2013 8:38 pm
Tark- You really think the Russian is that good? He hasn't fought anyone yet. All those guys you mention are proven at the highest level of the sport.Posted July 31, 2013 5:58 pm
Fight Aficionado
This strategy is what basically everyone says Clerverly must do, except for Cleverly.Posted July 31, 2013 5:09 pm
Lacy is a very low grade boxer compared to Kovalev… Calzaghe would have been killed if he fought a fighter the caliber of Kovalev the way he fought Lacy… Also, Kovalev is way above Kessler and even above Froch. He's better than Calzaghe as well.
He's not quite as good as GGG and Ward — yet — but he's the real deal.Posted July 31, 2013 3:58 pm
Cleverly would be a fool to do what he's said he's going to do: i.e. go toe to toe with Kovalev and try to KO him. What he needs to do instead is pretty much what Calzaghe did to Lacy: i.e. bombard him with 100 punches per round, spinning off to the side after each fast combination, never giving him a chance to set up/land his hard shots. As I see it, Cleverly needs to work on speed, movement, defence and endurance, and as long as he sticks to the game-plan he should win a comfortable UD. If a KO or TKO comes in the later rounds when Kovalev tires, so much the better, but I doubt it'd be wise for him to go looking for it.Posted July 31, 2013 11:12 am
I love the fact Cleverly is being made underdog here. Im gonna make some dollar here, CHAAAAAACHIIIIING $£$£$£$£Posted July 31, 2013 9:45 am
The wannabe tough guy called Cleverly is going to get smashed by a real fighter in Kovalev. It is going to look like Cleverly has a chance until Kovalev works out this paper champ and executes his plan. Cleverly is KOéd in the 5th. Cleverly won't be able to resist a macho showdown and will get beaten into a coma.Posted July 31, 2013 9:39 am
how's cleverly going to best kovalev? he's going to bamboozel himPosted July 31, 2013 9:29 am
CLEVERLYPosted July 31, 2013 8:47 am
Clev is going to win, once Krusher realises that Clev is not a club fighter or a has been whom he's used to KO'ing then he wont be long in getting bossed, I think Kovolev will quit on his stool around rnd 9 or 10.Posted July 31, 2013 7:42 am

Customer Raves & Reviews
Amazing Wedding Cermony Programs!!
I decided to order programs for the ceremony last minute. I luckily found this website, picked a design that was perfect for my winter / snowflake themed wedding, filled in the template and had my programs in less than a week. They were beautiful and elegant. I received so many compliments.
Very simple and beautiful!
We are so happy with the Save the Date Magnets! The white and silver printing and the snowflakes makes it beautiful for a winter wonderland wedding.
Beautiful product... so pleased!
We just received our invitations yesterday, and we did our Save the Dates with MSW too - I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! This design is beautiful and very customizable to come out with exactly the look, feel, and style we wanted. The editor was easy to use, and it was simple to go through and make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. I definitely recommend this service, everything turned out looking beautiful and professional and was printed/shipped very quickly! Thank you, Magnet Street!
Awesome customer service
I was fairly picky on my programs, I should say REALLY picky. I had amazing customer service, they were extremely helpful. I called, chatted, and emailed with them. I wanted to fit a lot of word on my program because I wanted to fit all of my reading and all other information so I made a large request. They did an awesome job. I ordered my save the dates and invitations through them and for any future events I plan on coming back with no hesitation.
Our programs came out perfect and were very easy to personalize

TAMPA – The Bruins wanted to get the road trip off to a good start, and they did just that by taking down the best hockey club they'll see over the next week.
It started off with a bang as Boston potted a pair of goals in the first four minutes of the game, and the Black and Gold held on for the 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Tampa Times Forum. The win gives the Bruins a modest two-game winning streak and snapped a two-game winning stretch for the Bolts.
The difference was Brad Marchand's strike in the middle of the second period after Matt Carle had blocked a Tyler Seguin shot from the left wing. The Nose Face Killah picked up the loose puck in the slot area and snapped it under the bar as Anders Lindback had already begun moving to stop Seguin's initial shot.
Prior to that, Boston scored both of their goals early with Nathan Horton firing in the rebound of a Dougie Hamilton shot just 70 seconds into the game, and Marchand fighting off the bigger Victor Hedman and Eric Brewer to set up a Patrice Bergeron score.
Steve Stamkos and Corey Conacher took advantage of Boston breakdowns in both the first and second period, and tied things up until Marchand's strike with 6:02 remaining in the middle period.
Horton added the insurance marker in the opening minutes of the third period when he perfectly tipped a Zdeno Chara slap-pass for his second goal of the night and his 25th career strike against the Lightning. The B's score arrived almost immediately after the top-ranked Boston penalty kill unit salted away a roughing call on Chara from the end of the second frame.
GOLD STAR: Nathan Horton nearly had a hat trick when a couple of attempts at the empty net in the last minute dinged off the post, but it was still his best game of the season. Horton scored just 71 seconds into the game on the rebound of a Dougie Hamilton shot and then scored again on the perfect redirection of a Zdeno Chara slap-pass for the insurance goal early in the third period. He also finished with a game-high six shots on net and looked as engaged and aggressive as he's been all season.
BLACK EYE: For both Victor Hedman and Eric Brewer as they allowed the much smaller Brad Marchand to get them to a puck battle behind their own net before setting up a Patrice Bergeron score from the slot. Brewer finished up as a minus-2 and Hedman was a minus-1 as they proved that there is still a soft underbelly to the Tampa Bay Lightning when it comes to their defensive play. Hedman needs to get tougher if he's ever going to be the elite D-man people envisioned him to be when he was a top draft pick.
TURNING POINT: For the Bruins it was killing the Tampa Bay power play at the beginning of the third period with Zdeno Chara in the penalty box on a bogus roughing call. The Bruins were already leading by a 3-2 score at the time, but a successful Lightning power play could have potentially changed the game's complexion. Instead the Bruins PK went 3-for-3 in killing off penalties and continued to up the percentages for its NHL-leading special teams unit.
HONORABLE MENTION: Brad Marchand finished with only a pair of shots in 14:59 of ice time, but he also factored greatly in a pair of goals including scoring his second straight game-winning goal for the Bruins. It was Marchand's fighting spirit that created Boston's second goal when he clawed the puck away from Victor Hedman and Eric Brewer before feeding Patrice Bergeron in front of the net for a first period goal. Then he scored the game winner after very nearly leaving the ice for a line change toward the end of the second period. It's a good thing he didn't. Marchand added a little Nose Face Killah flavor by nearly dropping the gloves with Corey Conacher at the end of the second period after the tiny Lightning forward tried to start a shoving match with Zdeno Chara.
BY THE NUMBERS: 25 – the number of goals that Nathan Horton has scored against the Tampa Bay Lightning in his career, much of which was spent playing them often as a member of the Florida Panthers.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I ran out of Underoos." –Johnny Boychuk, postgame while holding a bundle of sweat-soaked Bruins hockey Under Armor gear amid the humid conditions in the Tampa Times Forum. Boychuk said he went through seven pairs during the 60 minute as the Bruins adjusted to a much hotter, more humid climate in the Tampa arena.

RA 9184, not PNP, barred UDMC from bidding
I write on behalf of United Defense Manufacturing Corp. (UDMC), a 100-percent Filipino company, in connection with the procurement of weapons by the Philippine National Police.
The Procurement Law (Republic Act 9184) disqualifies newcomers like UDMC in biddings as we cannot meet the "50% previous contract" rule. Much as the PNP encouraged us to join the bidding, ours was a useless bid after all.
It was the law, not the PNP, that excluded UDMC from the bidding, much to the disappointment of the PNP. An option was for the PNP to invoke Section 50 of RA 9184, which allows "direct contracting" for patented designs, as affirmed by the Government Procurement Policy Board in its letter to UDMC on June 13, 2011. UDMC has two patents: 1-2009-000176 and 1-2011-000062.
There are laws that protect Filipino-patented designs from foreign products' domination: Sec. 12, Article XII of the Philippine Constitution states: "The State shall promote the preferential use of Filipino labor, domestic materials and locally produced goods, and adopt measures that help make them competitive"; Commonwealth Act 138, the Flag Law, gives preference to Filipino products; RA 5183 requires the winning bidder to be at least 60-percent Filipino owned; the Self-Reliance Defense Posture (SRDP) Law aims for self-reliance by producing in the country our own defense needs; and preference for Filipino products is stated in RA 7898, the AFP Modernization Act.
But these laws are useless if our government will not embrace the nationalistic spirit by helping make our local defense industry competitive in quality and price. And nationalism must start at a level higher than the the PNP's because RA 9184 unwittingly favors foreign brands. For example, it is ironic that the Armscor pistol, which is very much in demand in the United States, is not the official sidearm of the PNP or Armed Forces of the Philippines.
We don't need government subsidies, we need big-volume supply contracts. We have Filipino investors ready to infuse capital. We can negotiate with the government in setting a reasonable price for our rifles by opening up our books for them to scrutinize our costs. We are willing to go into a joint venture with the government. Without government procuring from us, we would have no mass base to start with, and we would not be able to compete as a world-class weapons manufacturer in the league of Colt or H&K.
On the M4 rifles' prices given on the Internet, these are not the prices of military-grade assault rifles. These are prices for semi-auto civilian models designed for sporting use. Indeed, there are technical differences in the designs, metallurgy and raw materials used in the manufacture of military-grade assault rifles and sporting rifles.

Thanks for the links and thanks for the welcome! Just wanna make sure I'm doing it right so I don't destroy my knees before I graduate from highschool.
Agreed. Personally, I just reccomend that most people NOT squat deep. You want to only go down to the point in which your shin and thigh form a 90 degree angle--this will allow you to use maximal weights at all times. Squatting deep is associated with knee joint instability, and will just tear up your joints.
This is my take on it. You want to keep your shins as clost to perpendicular to the floor as possible. You also want to keep your back as close to perpendicular to the ground as aswell. Keeping 100% perpendicular is impossible though as you would fall over. Although, I don't deep squat because I don't have the fexiability at the hips to bring my legs that close to my chest. In order for me to go past parallel, I'd have to lean foward. And on top of that, I keep my feet foward, thus, my abductors (I think that's the right muscle, it's the one on the inside of your legs) keeps me from going any further.

Its perfectly fine to lean forward.
Just make sure you keep your back straight and don't round it.

Level of DifficultyEasy
Time to do repair15 - 30 mins
Age of Appliance1 - 4 years
Screw drivers
Loosen the two long anchor bolts that screw into the top of the microwave cabinet. These are usually in a shelf or cabinet directly above the microwave. Tilt the microwave forward enough to remove the 2 Phillips head screws from the top of the microwave cabinet. They are near the front. When these two screws are out, remove the fan vent. Once the fan vent is off, remove one screw that holds the control pad in place. Let it hang down. Just to the left of the control pad, you will see wires leading to three switches that close when the door is closed. Use a torx driver to remove the two screws that hold the switch bracket in place. With the bracket out, unplug the wire harnesses. On the opposite side of the wiring connected, a tab holds each switch in place. Lift the tab and slide the switches out. Usually, the bad switch will be identified by a loose or broken spring. Test them by pressing down on the switch. If you notice the bad switch spring, this is usually the bad one. When you have the new one, simply push it back into the appropriate slot and be sure that the holding tab snaps back in place. Plug the wires back in and re-attach the bracket. Put the control pad back on, then the fan vent. When down with those, push on the bottom of the microwave to lift it back into place and tighten the two anchor bolts in the top.

multi-kernel nvidia driver installation problem
first of all, I just migrate to linux (Mandrake 10) and I am configure my system. so far I install the nvidia driver (ver.5336) with the installer that comes with it, and it compile perfect (I had some newbee troubles like where is the source code and blablabla.) anyway, The system now runs blender and UT2004 and every time I start X the splash nvidia logo comes out. GOOD :)
Now to the problem: :retard: there are many Kernel you can run at boot time with LILO and there is basically:
1) Standar Linux (where I installed the nvidia drivers)
2) Linux Enterprise (specially for servers)
3) Linux smp (multiprocesor)
and more.
Ok now when I run X in the Standar linux it starts (with the nvidia splash screen) but whe I run the Enterprise and smp it uses the old nv driver and not the nvidia (that you change in the XF86Config-4),also there is no splash screen(cause its using the nv driver)
My questions are:
1) How can I install the nvidia drivers in the Enterprise and smd kernel?
2)Do I need the source code for each kernel type (standar, Enterprise, smp) or I my suppose to use the same one with something that I still have no idea?
3) Is it because I am using de community edition and for the Enterprise and smp source code I need the Official Mandrake 10?
Any Information, How-to or Link will be much ... very much appreciated!!
Just in case I am using an updated Kernel 2.6.3-13 (from 2.6.3-4) with Mandrake 10 Community Ed.
Quike :screwy:
Re: multi-kernel nvidia driver installation problem
You need to have the kernel source for each kernel, specifically, and have that source configured (.config and Modules.symvers present or available).
% Run the installer with the --extract-only option.
% cd NVIDIA*/usr/src/nv
% make clean
% make module
% cp nvidia.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video
This process for each separate kernel should do the trick.. provided you installed the driver normally for one of them. (do this while running the target kernel, or fix the path the module is copied to appropriately)
Re: multi-kernel nvidia driver installation problem
Thx LordMorgun, but ....
Im still having some problems... the explanition above (making the module nvidia.ko ), is with the source code of each kernel?... if that so... where can I find the source for the smp and ent ... I got the source for the standar Kernel with the update package, but I don't know where to get the enterprise and smp Source.
I also try the commands above and running each kernel and got:
Unable to determine kernel version.
make: *** [select_makefile] Error 1
I also try to copy the nvidia.ko (from the /lib/modules/2.6.3-13mdk/kernel/drivers/video made from the standar Kernel to the Enterprise (/lib/modules/2.6.3-13mdkenterprise/kernel/drivers/video) , but it didn't work.
Any suggestion? Please!!!! I appresiate again the info above.
Re: multi-kernel nvidia driver installation problem
OK, I had some progress... when I read the README file in the nv directory I found that it says that a link to the source in mandrake is missing from the lib... so I copy the one from the standar kernel to the enterprise and the make clean and make module are creating the nvidia.ko file plus many more ... a copy this file as you said above but when I run X a error message appear. is it only necesary to copy this file or do I need something more to copy from the make command?
Re: multi-kernel nvidia driver installation problem
One thing I forgot: in the nvidia module's usr/src/nv directory:
% ln -s Makefile.kbuild Makefile
I believe the enterprise kernel uses a separate kernel source, make sure you have that. The smp kernel probably builds using the standard kernel source with a different config.. that is simple to prepare then -- but make sure you place the smp config in the kernel source when you build the module.
You should only need to copy the nvidia kernel module for the specific kernel.. if it compiles correctly (and it inserts into the kernel without errors), it should work.

Basic wins 3 geothermal energy contracts
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Publicly listed Basic Energy Corp. has bagged three geothermal service contracts from the Department of Energy to explore and develop three geothermal concession areas in Luzon.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange Friday, Basic Energy identified these three projects as the Iriga, Mariveles and East Mankayan geothermal power projects.
According to Basic Energy, the East Mankayan geothermal area covers the provinces of Benguet, Mountain Province and Ifugao. It lies immediately east of the Cervantes, llocos Sur, geothermal block of Pan Pacific Power Phils. Inc., south of the Bontoc-Sadanga block which is operated by Magma Energy Resources and immediately south of the Daklan block operated by Clean Rock Energy.
This particular area, Basic Energy added, is surrounded by known thermal manifestations, such as hot springs and thermally altered grounds.
It said that the Mariveles geothermal area in Bataan is situated along the West Luzon Volcanic Arc, which starts from Mt. Pinatubo in the north and extends south across Manila Bay to Batangas and northeastern Mindoro.
The Iriga geothermal area in Camarines Sur bounded on the north by the lsarog geothermal block of PNOC-Renewables Corp. and on the east by the highly productive Tiwi geothermal service contract area of the Aboitiz-led AP Renewables, Inc. The landscape is dominated by the lriga or Asog Volcano, immediately southwest of Lake Buhi in southern Luzon.
Basic Energy earlier said that these three geothermal projects were in line with the company's business thrust this year to look into new projects in renewable energy development and production.
Currently, the company has a planned 20-megawatt Mabini geothermal power project in Batangas. While it has been continuing discussions with other companies for a potential joint venture, Basic Energy has been undertaking the necessary exploratory works within the site to fulfill its obligations under its geothermal service contract.
Once the proposed geothermal power facility is operational, Basic Energy said it plans to sell the power to be generated to electric cooperatives and the wholesale electricity spot market.

I unplugged the fridge before I did the repair. Took out the ice bin, then I took out the two screws located at each side of the plate that holds the dispenser motor using a nut driver. I then disconnected the whole assembly from the wiring harness in the freezer. Took out the two screws (one on top and one on the bottom) that holds the plastic back cover of the assembly,popped out the back cover. I used the hack saw to cut the shaft of the motor because the auger drive has a reverse thread and won't come off from the motor. I then took out the three screws that hold the motor to the plate and disconnected the wiring that's attached to it noting which wire go where. Put in the new motor, the auger drive, reconnected the wires, put the back cover on, reconnected the wiring harness to the freezer and attached the whole assembly in the freezer. Done!

When you buy fresh fruit put some in single serving sizes and place in the freezer. Makes a great treat on a hot day, or a hot flash! Frozen fruit is hard to eat quickly so you really taste and enjoy the snack!
I freeze fresh fruit and use it as "ice cubes" in my green tea! It makes a nice fresh drink that doubles as a little snack!27445289277488474491
With the weather getting warmer, I've been craving frozen treats. My solution: frozen fruit! I've always loved eating the frozen mixed berries that I put on my yogurt in the morning, but recently, I've been experimenting by freezing fresh fruit. My new favorite: mango! The frozen pieces taste just like a mango sherbet. Even better, they are in season and on sale in most stores for less than $1.00 each. Another tasty option is pineapple, also in season and on sale! 4
I love my fresh fruit, but I found I was wasting my money when the fruit would go bad before I could finish it. Now to save money if it gets close to browning or going bad I now fresh freeze it. Slice it into small peices and reuse the fresh frozen for smoothies or fruit salad as needed!!!

Local governments in several major metropolitan areas of the United States now require the use of ASHRAE-Certified individuals for energy efficiency projects.
The City of San Francisco enacted an energy audit ordinance in 2011, which states that buildings must meet or exceed ASHRAE standards for a Level 1 or Level 2 energy audit. The Existing Commercial Buildings Energy Performance Ordinance, which is being phased in over several years, requires an audit based upon the size of the building and must be conducted every five years. ASHRAE's Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP) certification is listed on the City and County of San Francisco website as one of the certifications recognized for the provision of this service.
The City of New York's Local Law 87 requires building audits that can lead to energy efficiency retrofits. This is for buildings of 50,000 square feet or larger. Recognized for these various services are the ASHRAE BEAP, the High-Performance Building Design Professional (HBDP) and the Commissioning Process Management Professional (CPMP) certifications. BEAP was just added at the end of 2012.
In the City of Orlando, Fla., all of the audit, design and commissioning work required for energy efficiency projects are designated to be performed as per the requisite ASHRAE standards and procedures listed in the request for qualification statements.
For example, a request for qualification for a project to reduce energy use at City Hall requires that facility audit must be performed by at least one ASHRAE-Certified Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP), an energy model must be constructed by at least one ASHRAE-Certified Building Energy Modeling Professional (BEMP); and commissioning phase must be performed by at least one ASHRAE-Certified Commissioning Process Management Professional (CPMP). The request also calls for Phase One to include an ASHRAE Level 2 energy audit effort as prescribed and outlined in the ASHRAE publication "Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits, 2nd Edition."
"The purpose of requiring the ASHRAE specific certifications vs. other certifying agencies is to verify that the respondents are specifically qualified to perform these services as directed per ASHRAE procedures," Nate Boyd, energy project manager in the city's Office of Business and Financial Services, Fleet and Facilities Management Division. "We are attempting to standardize our procedures based on the guidance of the professional engineering society that best represents the collective intelligence of this industry. In keeping with the spirit of Mayor Buddy Dyer's Greenworks Initiative, ASHRAE's mission, values and technical knowledge base most closely mirrors our intent for the City's sustainability goals."
Boyd said there may be changes to allow other certifications but the ASHRAE certifications will be considered the most qualified of all certifications listed in the qualification statements and will carry the most weight in the selection process.
Boyd currently serves the Central Florida Chapter as president-elect, and chair of the Programs, Grassroots Government Advocacy and Sustainability committees.
"I see my position as the energy manager of the City of Orlando as ideally situated to bring to functional fruition the advancements in the industry, both procedural and technical, that ASHRAE's purpose serves," he said.
ASHRAE advances the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world. With more than 53,000 members from over 132 nations, ASHRAE is a diverse organization representing building system design and industrial processes professionals around the world.

OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - The FBI saw enough merit in a reputed Mafia captain's tip to once again break out the digging equipment in search of the elusive remains of former Teamsters union leader Jimmy Hoffa, last seen alive when he left for lunch with two mobsters 38 years ago.

safe is risky
Organizations can spot the risks of a new idea a mile away. But there's a curious blind spot when it comes to the risks of not taking those risks. The path of least resistance is to play it safe and keep the idea as close to the tried-and-true as possible. We just need to ask Polaroid how that strategy works in the long run.
I stumbled across an interesting HBR article from Bill Taylor called "Playing It Safe Is Riskier Than You Think". In it, he writes about an analogy of risk first framed by two business professors 25 years ago.
"Executives and entrepreneurs face two very different sorts of risks. One is that their organization will make a bold move that failed — a risk they call 'sinking the ship.' The other is that their organization will fail to make a bold move that would have succeeded — a risk they call 'missing the boat.'
"Naturally, most executives worry more about sinking the boat than missing the boat, which is why so many organizations, even in flush times, are so cautious and conservative. To me, though, the opportunity for executives and entrepreneurs is to recognize the power of rocking the boat — searching for big ideas and small wrinkles, inside and outside the organization, that help you make waves and change course."
When we're leading a project, particularly at a large company, I think that's a big part of our job — to continually find ways to rock the boat. The most remarkable ideas go against the flow. But we don't want to sacrifice the remarkable parts of the idea for the comfort of a smoother ride.
It's easier than ever to prototype just about every aspect of our ideas to make them come to life. But in most stage gate meetings I've attended, where ideas are presented for approval, every idea is shoehorned into the exact same boring PowerPoint template. In that environment, the "safest" idea will win, not the most remarkable.
A few years ago, I heard Doug Hall lead an innovation workshop, and his session on managing risks really struck a chord with me. He said that "meaningfully unique ideas spark fear. Fear causes shut down. The secret to reducing fear is to make the unknown known. We need to turn killer issues into manageable threats". I think we rock the boat by continually prototyping the unknowns of our ideas so that they become known.
We can't change the inherent risk aversion of an organization. But we can rock the boat.

I agree with your insights. And can think of a few poignant examples from my work at General Mills.
I've been delving into storytelling as a tool for innovation and see an opportunity where stories can help reduce fear by making the unknown known. I teach innovation teams to package their ideas in a story framework, winch helps the organization decision makers imagine the power and potential of the new idea, making it feel more feasible.
Thanks for creating another insightful cartoon.
An organization needs to establish, cultivate and provide positive reinforcement for a culture that seeks out and supports trying new ideas. Some mistakes will be made but there's no reason for any "cutting edge" efforts to ever really risk the entire company or brand — and without these attempts, where does growth come from?
One of my roles was for a company which specifically said in the interview process that they welcome (expect!) decision-making and were prepared to accept failures along the way without major drama — of course, presuming the decision was thought through and wins outnumbered losses.
A company in motion can be redirected but a company standing still is going nowhere — can't be a much simpler lesson there, eh?
Best. Toon + Post. Ever.
I only wish I had some brilliant insightful comment because this would get double matting in a frame to proudly spotlight it on my office wall of Tom Fishburne signed prints.
In addition to a fabulous M-toon, you have artfully described exactly what I consider my job — and my passion. Whether from my posts inside big companies or outside as a consultant, I use facts, analytics, knowledge and insights to get to my REAL goal of first putting a spotlight on needs, opportunities and solutions (especially ones that terrify!) and second, helping to push to execution by breaking it down into manageable risk bites, propelled by a vision of sales potential.
OMG. This is painful.
Having spent my early working years in the computer industry, I was impressed that Dr. An Wang was able to turn his company from a calculator company (mind you, a calculator the size of a desktop pc) eventually into a word processor company. (At the time it was a big deal!) The story of Wang Labs is a Chinese tragedy of the loyal and appropriate successor (round eyes John Cunningham) being cast aside in favor of the eldest son (Freddie Wang) who had no interest or skills to run the company.
While I was at DEC, and then watching the demise of DEC afterwards, I saw a similar story. Ken Olsen was every bit as innovative as An Wang. He listened to his employees even when he didn't agree with them. After Ken was kicked out by the board, the company rested on what it thought were its laurels and was eventually acquired by Compaq (incredible!) and then by HP. Very sad.
Your cartoon could be used to illustrate Peter Drucker's comment that the natural lifespan of a corporation is 25 years, after which the founder's vision and drive are lost. It would be funny if that sad story hadn't been repeated so many times.
Several years ago I worked for a company that was a true pioneer in the specialty print business. When ownership was focused on breaking the rules and adding to their patent portfolio they made money. When they acquired investment money and brought in CEO dedicated to keeping the money the commission structure changed, innovation was focused on "sure bets" and there was a lot more reporting. The better sales people left, opportunities we had to leverage our technology could not get funded and eventually the competition caught us and now the once pioneer in an area of printing they controlled are coming back from bankruptcy. Suffice to say your post today has brought back some memories.
Listen to anyone that knows anything about marketing, or business for that matter, and s/he will tell you about the importance of taking risks. Go to a financial planner and s/he will show you higher returns for, well, a higher risk portfolio. Yet despite what we know about the importance of taking risks those of us from blue chip companies and/or with blue chip educations, abhor it in practice. We've been trained to avoid risk. But being predictable in marketing carries its own risk. It's the risk of being like everyone else. In an "age of sameness", where products and services are virtually identical, this risk is magnified. It's the risk of being homogeneous. It's the risk of not breaking out of the cluttered pack to capture the attention and interest of the customer. It's the risk of not catering to the needs and desires of potential custmers but, instead, delivering the conventional wisdom of the organization, or category. It's the risk of lost opportunities – loyal relationships with customers that generate profitable sales growth. The real risk we face is going forward with something that has not worked (merely because it is what we, or the category, always does) or we do not know what response it will generate from customers. The former is stupidity and the later is gambling.
Avid reader, but first time writer. This specific cartoon jumped off the page and spoke to me in a way no other has. I work for a large company and countless cartoons have been spot on, but this specific one is personal and speaks not only to what I believe personally, but what is also our biggest obstacle. This has been my crusade here and I would be honored (and absolutely thrilled beyond words) to win a signed copy and use it to push the crusade to take risks, versus face the risk of not taking risks. I love what you do and it is sincerely inspiring. Thank you for infusing serious issues into humorous situations that can help us to advance the conversations internally to ultimately take action.
Can you give an example of 'prototyping the unknowns of our ideas so that they become known'?
Jean Storlie — my fellow comment leaver, esteemed friend and fellow conference enthusiast — you mentioned having several examples, any you can share?
Awesome Marketoon, as always!
The agency I work for is focused primarily on nonprofit and cause-based clients. This is even dangerous in a nonprofit world. Many nonprofit people believe that they can't afford to take risks since budgets are already strapped tightly. Often times, they can't afford NOT to take risks and stand out among other like-minded organizations fighting for resources.
The timing of this week's cartoon is uncanny, last Friday (4 July) marked the first anniversary of Connor Sparrowhawk's death, and the end of our #107days campaign to bring #JusticeforLB.
While trying to improve awareness and conditions for people with learning disabilities, we continually experience the attitude depicted. People know the system has to change, the Minister responsible is wringing his hands, but still little progress.
Our campaign brought people together for collective action, to build hope and to dispel fear, because we can't accept the status quo any longer. Your cartoon depicts the continued challenge as we start a new phase of our campaign. Thank you.
While the article focuses on large corporations, this scenario happens in the small business universe. It might even be more dangerous since a small business owner might be more insulated from other opinions and not recognize that s/he is "missing the boat". Additionally, the risks to a small business can be more intertwined with family issues and seem more magnified.
I emphasize to my clients to make small changes over time to be sure their WordPress website is addressing their customer's changing needs – i.e. rocking the boat. My focus with my clients is to educate them about how to make the changes to their website content areas and reduce their risk of an important marketing tool getting stale.
This made me smile wrily in recognition, as I toil in the midst of a long marketing project between a client and a branding agency trying to persuade them to do something different in the cliche-ridden "this handsome Georgian-style compact townhouse with integral garage, coffee maker, and home cinema, boasting three bedrooms and a Juliette balcony, set in verdant woodland" world of property marketing.
We are working on what is called a "place-making campaign". No idea what that is? No, I didn't know either. It is when you take an area previously overlooked by buyers as too remote/unfashionable/noisy and "put it on the map". This has made us REALLY stretch our brains to identify what we can genuinely say is special and different about the location. We are fighting like crazy to prevent it from being watered down in marketing speak, and rendered dull and unremarkable by cliche. An ongoing battle which ain't over yet….
So I extend my sympathies to others doing the same and exhort you to Banish The Dull and Strip Out The Cliche in those committee meetings. Don't give in!
This cartoon caught my eye and your message resonates with me because I am an educator working with school leaders to embrace innovation, such as digital and mobile learning.
You are targeting business executives as the audience, but I think this speaks to many leaders in our schools.
The irony of our position in education is that our clients – the students – are much faster than many who are serving in the role of teacher or school administrator to understand the value of innovation, particularly digital and mobile learning.
Technology innovations – digital learning in particular – is "rocking our boat" and although it is a fun ride for some of us, many see these changes as threats which will sink the boat. One thing for certain, educators of today's students will miss the boat if they don't embrace the changing world of communication and learning with digital, mobile tools.
Lovely cartoon, thanks. It applies very directly to the position I'm in, as we mostly market to the c-suite in a very conservative industry. In terms of rocking the boat, the c-suite can be thought of as travelling luxury class, so have remained oblivious to much of the digital rough seas of the past 15+ years. They were older then so are older now, but we can't sit around just waiting for them to die off so we can market to their sons.
We have to bring them out to the deck, to make them peer into the green Holocene mist where polar bears cling to diminishing ice floes and explain that, without our help they, too, will be clinging.
The difference between the marketing of technology and marketing other things is that technology is definitely taking over any and all previous processes that it is possible to take over. You cannot embellish or exaggerate enough about how the Internet, smart phones, mobile and cloud computing have and will continue to transform everything about how we live.
We must find ways to demonstrate that this new technology is the holistic lifestyle equivalent of stair-lifts and electric wheelchairs.
Plus, the air out here is SO bracing…

Names can be deceiving, something the warrior known as Hero quickly discovers when he storms the castle of the dread Demon King that mankind has fought for fifteen years. For one thing, the "king" turns out to be a queen! Even more shocking, though, is that she's waiting for him with an unexpected proposal.
She points out that it would be bad for both sides if the war was to end immediately, as without a common enemy, the individual factions of the winning side are certain to turn on each other in a new series of civil wars. However, she has a plan to end the war, bring democracy and advanced knowledge to humanity, and ensure lasting prosperity for both sides, no matter who "wins." But to accomplish this, she needs a collaborator on the human side, and she's chosen Hero as the one partner she can trust! Is it a deal with the devil, or mankind's only hope for lasting peace?

|The effect of oxy-fuel combustion with simulated flue gas recycle on NOx formation and flame stability in a 20 kW coal and coal/biomass combustor [abstract]
|Skeen, S. A.; Kumfer, B. M.; Axelbaum, Richard L.
|University of Missouri (System)
Power Generation
carbon dioxide emissions
agricultural waste
bioenergy crops
|The adoption of renewable energy standards aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions and the expansion of carbon cap and trade systems are expected to have great impact on regions that are dependent upon coal for electricity generation. A retrofit technology for existing coal-fired power plants is needed in order to meet these standards and reduce CO2 emissions while limiting the costs to be passed on to electricity consumers. It is anticipated that bioenergy resources in the form of agricultural waste or bioenergy crops grown specifically for energy production (e.g. switchgrass) could constitute the majority of the renewable energy portfolio in regions that do not have ample wind and solar resources. The cofiring of renewable biomass with coal is an attractive option for reducing the carbon footprint of a power generation plant that does not require a significant change in the power plant design. Another approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to implement Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) technology, thereby preventing the release of CO2 into the atmosphere. The combination of cofiring of coal and biomass with CCS is potentially a carbon negative technology, providing energy while removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide in the flue gas can be highly concentrated by replacing combustion air with a mixture of oxygen and recycled flue gas (oxy-coal combustion) thus removing the need for CO2 scrubbing. While there are costs associated with oxygen production, advances in air-separation technologies are being made—particularly in the area of ion-membrane separation technologies. Moreover, oxy-coal combustion has the potential to reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) beyond the levels achievable by low NOx burners and overfire air, thereby offsetting some of the costs associated with oxygen production by reducing or eliminating the need for post combustion NOx cleanup. The overall objective of this work is to investigate the cofiring of biomass with coal under oxy-combustion conditions, as a means of mitigating atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions while yielding burning characteristics that are similar or superior to traditional coal combustion. Experiments are performed in a 15-35 kWth, horizontally-fired laboratory combustor. The gas compositions (concentrations of O2, N2 and CO2) of the primary and secondary flows are varied over a wide range of conditions and the effects of the cofiring ratio (sawdust feed rate/total fuel feed rate) and gas composition on flame stability and NOx formation are investigated. Flame stability is determined by reducing the secondary oxidizer swirl velocity until the flame is visibly detached from the fuel jet. Effects on NOx formation are determined by measuring NO in the flue gas via a ThermoFisher scientific CEM following complete char burnout.

"Wining Asansol is not asan (easy). So I will put my heart and soul into it," says BJP's star candidate Babul Supriyo, grinning from ear to ear.
The Bollywood singer with hit numbers like Pari Hai Ek Pari..., Chanda Chamke... and Dil Ne Dil Ko Pukara... under his belt, is pitted against the sitting CPI(M) MP Banshogopal Chowdhury, and Trinamool Congress's Dola Sen in the industrial hub.
According to reports from Asansol, Babul, 44, is flooded with requests to sing a line or two wherever he goes in the constituency. He not only obliges everyone but has promised a public performance once the ban on loudspeakers is lifted after higher secondary examinations are over in 10 days.
"I am a novice in politics. But I am a big fan of Vajpayee and Narendra Modi is my friend. If I am elected and Modi becomes the prime minister, I will ensure that Asansol grows and develops at a very fast pace just like Gujarat ushering in prosperity for all," Babul said.
The playback singer says he is not intimidated by his opponents or the party machinery at their command. "If voters realizes that I can be their saviour then I do not have to worry. And voters can stop worrying after electing me. I will spend at least four days in Asansole every month and the rest in Delhi fighting for Asansol."
Babul is confident of bagging Asansol. But his optimism is not shared even by BJP workers who wanted the party to field a local leader. Asansole district BJP president Nirmal Karmakar admitted that Babul's candidature was resented but that chapter is over and campaigning is in full swing.
The singer criticizes Rahul Gandhi at the drop of a hat and accuses Congress of being unfair to Pranab Mukherjee by denying him the prime ministership. "The country needs a CEO like Modi who can efficiently run it. He has done wonders in Gujarat which should be replicated in the rest of the country."

Re: Is Sailing Sexist?
Not sure what point this makes, you decide.
I just moved my daughter into her dorm a couple of weeks back. Her floor has three bathrooms. One Men's, one Women's and one Co-ed. Each have multiple stalls and showers for approx 6 people to be using at once. Interesting liberal Ivy League idea. I swear I wondered if it is really a social experiment, run by a wacky professor.
After a couple of weeks, she says there are really two Men's rooms and one Women's room. The men don't seem to care if there is a woman in the next stall or shower, but the women do and never go in there.
There seem to be some differentiators between genders that are self selected, not imposed.

The story never gets old. Fans jumping off and on the Luongo bandwagon. To those who missed it, after Luongo was pulled in game 4, Several Thousand fans at Rogers Arena in Vancouver started cheering and waving the white towels as though we just scored. As a passionate, die hard Canucks fan I watched in DISGUST as these bandwagon jumpers who probably never watch regular season hockey go and crucify one of the main reasons we are where we are. Had it not been for Luongo's great post to post save in OT of Game 7 vs the Hawks, we would have been out vs Chicago. Now these fans who have joined after maybe beating Nashville or San Jose are trying to sever ties with our goalie.
As for Luongo's play yes it has been shaky on the road. What I think would work best is Luongo in game 5 and regardless the outcome play Schnieder in 6. Vigneault needs to understand it is his team Luongo needs to be a team player and stop trying to put the weight of the team on his shoulders. The general concensus amongst the Vancouver Media and Actual team fans is to go with Luongo.
The last question Luongo faced after game 4 from the media was his opinion to the fans reaction of him being pulled.He not only looked heart broken he looked defeated. If this is what affects him and he comes out shaky in 5 those bandwagon jumpers and IGNORANT hockey fans at Rogers Arena are to blame. You do not cheer a moment like that. TRUE FANS STAND BEHIND THEIR BOYS NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

Friday Afternoon News, May 8
Four Year Old Council Bluff's Boy Shot In The Neck
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - A 4-year-old western Iowa boy has been shot in the back of his neck and another child has been taken into protective custody.
Authorities say Q-Marion Jones has been taken in critical condition to Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Police say the boy was shot around 5 p.m. Thursday at the Northgate Apartments in Council Bluffs.
Police say another juvenile in the home at the time had access to a semi-automatic pistol, and the child was taken into protective custody. No arrests have been reported, and police haven't said whether the shooting was accidental.
State's Contract To Purchase Weapons For State Law Enforcement Under Review
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A spokesman says the Iowa Department of Public Safety has returned 800 handguns purchased under a contract that is now under investigation.
The weapons were bought under a master contract awarded to Smith & Wesson to supply handguns to troopers, agents and other law enforcement officials.
The department has hired two retired agents to review whether employees followed purchasing policies. Three veteran, high-ranking Iowa State Patrol officials have been placed on leave during the inquiry.
DPS Commissioner Roxann Ryan last month told employees to return their newly issued handguns after some officers raised concerns about the weapons' functionality. The department hasn't clarified their concerns but Ryan told employees she took them seriously because they implicated the safety of the officers and the public.
Smith & Wesson hasn't returned messages.
Severe Weather Possible For Weekend
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Officials say storms sweeping across eastern Nebraska and Iowa this weekend pose the threat of isolated tornadoes and hail while strong wind gusts and heavy snow are expected further west.
Meteorologist Jim Lee with the National Weather Service in Des Moines says the entirety of Iowa is slightly at risk for severe weather Sunday, though it's unlikely the storms will hammer the whole state. He says it remains unclear what regions could be hit the hardest.
Forecasters in central Nebraska say the region faces potentially damaging winds, and meteorologists overseeing the Nebraska Panhandle predict between 3 inches and 5 inches of snow by Sunday evening.
Meteorologist Shawn Rossi in Hastings says the upcoming system isn't expected to produce widespread storms like those seen in southeast Nebraska earlier this week.
Emerald Ash Borer Found In Polk And Dallas Counties
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Officials have found emerald ash borders in Polk County, home of the state capitol in Des Moines.
A news release from the Iowa Agriculture Department said Friday that the tree-killing pests were found in Urbandale and West Des Moines. The department says the confirmation brings to 22 the number of Iowa counties where the insects have been found.
The larva of an emerald ash borer cuts off an ash tree's flow of nutrients when deposited below the bark. Once infected, trees typically die within five years.
The insects are native to Asia and were first spotted in the U.S. in 2002, when they showed up in the Detroit area. They devastated ash trees in Michigan and have spread to at least 21 other states.
Airport Runway To Become Drag Racing Strip
ONAWA, Iowa (AP) - Onawa officials plan to turn their little used municipal airport into a drag strip.
City administrator Bradley Hansen told the Sioux City Journal that officials are hoping to have at least one racing date this year.
The Onawa City Council voted in April to close the airport, which is used primarily by private pilots, aerial sprayers and traveling doctors. Hansen says four of its five hangars are occupied. Its closure is scheduled for July 1.
Officials have not determined whether the drag strip would be funded privately or with local taxes.

Keeping an eye out for your peers is the key message of an
Otago University Students' Association campaign aimed at
stopping sexual violence.
OUSA student advocate Philippa Keaney said its ''Are You That
Someone?'' campaign was about encouraging young people to
look out for and look after each other.
''It's putting onus on young people to think about situations
where sexual violence could occur and ... stepping in
[safely] and intervening,'' Ms Keaney said.
For the student population sexual violence was a problem
which was at times connected with drinking alcohol.
Examples of when people should intervene, included checking
whether a ''really wasted'' friend did actually want to
''hook up'' with the guy she was with while she was so
incapacitated, she said.
The message was particularly pertinent for campaigner and
Otago University student Danielle Rolls (18), who recently
had someone intervene when she got into trouble outside
Starters Bar in North Dunedin.
She had been pulled out of the bar by a man when a stranger
passing by intervened and asked her whether she was all
right, Ms Rolls said.
This defused the situation and could have prevented it from
getting worse, she said.
The campaign, which is running until tomorrow, included a
photo booth where people could take ''happy snaps'' with
friends or partners, a hot-water bottle giveaway, pop-up
theatre and a ''positivity tree'' where people were asked to
share their thoughts on what made a positive relationship.

[caption id="attachment_15175" align="alignnone" width="620" caption="British Energy Secretary Ed Davey (l) with Anders Eldrup, CEO of Danish wind and power provider Dong Energy, in February. Dong is a partner in the 367-megawatt Walney Wind Farm off northwest England - the world's largest operating offshore wind farm."] Siemens wind turbines in the North Sea off Denmark, fixed to the seabed. Siemens is among the companies developing 'floating' turbines.
US, UK join forces on 'floating' offshore wind turbines
Summary:Energy Secretary Chu and his British counterpart will announce collaboration on offshore wind farms that stand free of the seabed, cutting costs and allowing operations further out at sea.
US Energy Secretary Steven Chu and his UK counterpart Edward Davey are set to announce that the two countries will jointly develop offshore wind turbines that don't require anchoring to the seabed. "Floating" turbines potentially cut maintenance and installation costs and allow operations further out at sea.
The agreement is the "initial focus" of a broader memorandum of understanding that the U.S. and UK will sign this week to collaborate in energy development, according to a press release from the UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
"The UK and US will agree to collaborate in the development of floating wind technology designed to generate power in deep waters currently off limits to conventional turbines but where the wind is much stronger," DECC said.
The UK has more offshore wind capacity than any other country. Davey, who heads DECC, said that he expects floating turbines to play a big role in Britain's carbon-reduced future.
