Sent RP4 2113 to the Gen apx 12/29. Did you get it Deimos?
Hello? Deimos?
I emailed and PM'd Deimos having looked at Deimos' profile with the last post date of Dec 23rd and wondering if he was gone.
(putting on Sherlock Holmes hat)
The tracking on the PM said that Deimos was last online on the 6th of Jan. at 14:38; Hydro"s last message (Hello? Deimos?) was also on the 6th (at 14:37 - the plot thickens).
So Deimos is not as gone as it looked; maybe he even played the turn and sent it to Smack - we can hope .
I resent the turn to Deimos. I even offered him better terms on a flight of Screaming Death Shard Exterminator Copters that he has been drooling over. Heck, I even through in nerve gas pods for free! What self respecting Spartan can turn down an offer like that?
Sorry for not posting this sooner. I notified Googlie a while back that, due to a change in RealLife (I started working a second programing contract), I had to withdraw from the game. I have had near zero free time since this contract began a couple of days after Christmas.
JD is right, I was on the boards for a few a while back. Just long enough to poke my nose into the Moo3 forum. I didn't have time to make it here, though.
I hope you are able to find a replacement soon, and I wish you all the best of luck.

Any news on a replacement for Deimos in RP4? My Morgan hat is getting itchy!
Is RP4 dead? Or are we waiting for Deimos to come up for air?
I'd be happy to resume this game, but I think we need 2 replacements instead of 1. Levelisk has also disappeared, at least from games I know about. If it seems that everyone else is still interested, I'd be willing to advertise for replacements.
OK. I'll contact Googlie, since he is running RP4. Thanks!
John Paul Jones ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) will replace Deimos as the Spartans in this game.
To get it moving again, if Levelisk has indeed dropped out, I'll play his turns until a replacement comes forward
Hydro - can you send the current turn to JPJ?
RP4 2112 to JPJ!
Woohoo! RP4 is going again!
Turn received , still waiting on the right password though...
I tread lightly in the land of Princes and Kings1, for my mere Settler status does me little good.
I've messaged Googlie a little earlier concerning a replacement for Deimos and hadn't recieved a response. I've recently messaged him about replacing Levelisk, since he's still MIA.
The Role Play format is something I'd almost expected in SMAC games but find it particularly exciting to see the way it's being done here! I've a history of tabletop RP and MUSH'ing, so I doubt you'd be too disappointed with me.
I will understand if you'd rather take on someone with more reputation than I, but would greatly appreciate your consideration. That's all. Thanks!
1. Princes and Kings... I suppose there are very few female members, eh?

Another Roadside Attraction
Sorry for the lack of response - I don't often visit the private messaging system here
You are certainly welcome to take over Levelisk's spot as he is officially MIA (just hope I can guess the password - it died with my harddrive crash - but as Deimos has copied me on his password to JPJ, I think I can deduce Levelisk's from that)
Send me an e-mail to:
and I'll record your addy there and send what I think will be the password
Excellent, thanks Googlie and greetings to the players! Email sent to Googlie for his records, and for everyone else's, it's firstname.lastname@example.com
Concerning the fiction: Are there any rules governing that portion of the game? It seems rather loose, with some adding more and some adding less. Thanks.
Another Roadside Attraction
2112 marks a turning point in Spartan History. General Deimos' military regime has been overthrown in a bloodless coup. Citizens and soldiers alike gathered at a huge parade in Sparta Command to usher in the New Order led by Colonel Jones.
On to the Believers.

Good news for Boeing on two fronts: Air India and Boeing agreed to a compensation deal, reported to be valued at $1bn, that paves the way to deliver the first 787s to the embattled airline. The first airplane comes from Everett, and Charleston's first completed 787 is also slated for Air India. Air India has 27 787s on order.
Boeing produced the first 787 that is "clean" of the problems that have plagued the program for years and which caused massive rework that takes an average of 13 months to complete. This is a major milestone for the program.
Meantime, Boeing hopes to firm up some MOUs on the 747-8I soon.
Finally, a bit of history. This story contains an interview with one of the surviving Tuskegee Airmen. Their story has been depicted in the awful George Lucas movie Red Tails and the far better Ted Turner movie Tuskegee Airmen. The latter is available on DVD through Amazon.com.

Energy Efficiency Policies around the World: Review and Evaluation
4.1 Energy Efficiency and CO2 Trends
Energy consumption is growing less rapidly than the economic activity in all world regions, except the Middle East: this corresponds to an improvement in the energy productivity.
On average at world level, the reduction was much faster before 2000 (1.8% p.a.) than after (1.4% p.a.), mainly because of the changes taking place in China. Indeed, China experienced a very rapid improvement in its energy productivity between 1990 and 2000, at around 7.5% p.a., as a result of various factors: more efficient use of coal, switch from coal to oil, industry restructuring and higher energy prices. After 2000 this trend has however slowed down significantly, to slightly less than 1% p.a.
If we exclude China, there is an acceleration of the energy productivity improvement at world level since 2000 because of the higher oil price in 2005 and 2006 (1.5% p.a. compared to an average trend of 1.3% before).
Large differences exist between world regions in their energy intensity level: the energy intensity of the CIS is three times higher than in Europe, the region with the lowest value; it is respectively 40% and 30% higher in China and in North America compared to Europe. Similar differences across regions can be seen in their energy intensity trends (very rapid reduction in China, increase in the Middle East and in the most developed regions of Asia).
Energy intensities are in general decreasing in energy importing countries, due to the pressure of high energy prices, as well as in most OECD countries. Even those with significant energy resources (e.g. USA, Canada, Australia), because of saturation in some end-uses and in some countries as a result of energy efficiency and climate change policies. Energy intensities are however increasing in non-OECD oil producing countries and, to a lesser extent, in some countries with significant energy resources.
As a very long-term trend, energy intensities follow a "bell curve", generally with developing countries to the left, with increasing intensities, and developed countries on the right side, with decreasing and converging values.
The reduction in the energy intensity between 1990 and 2006 in most world regions resulted in large energy and CO2 savings, estimated at 4.4 Gtoe in 2006 (50% in China, 20% in North America and 10% in Europe) and 10 Gt of CO2. In other words, had technologies and economic structures of the main world regions remained at their 1990 level (i.e. at 1990 intensities), the world would have consumed 4.4 Gtoe more in 2006.
Energy productivity gains are greater at the level of final consumers (industry, transport, households and services) than at the overall level (i.e. including the energy transformation sector): increasing losses in energy conversion have offset about 20% of the gains achieved by final consumers. The increasing use of electricity by final consumers has resulted in greater losses in power generation, as most of the electricity is produced from thermal or nuclear power plants .
Energy efficiency of thermal power generation only improved moderately, by 2 points since 1990 at world level, the average efficiency at world level is presently 34%, which is far from the EU average (40%) or the EU best practice (Spain with 46% ). If all world regions had the same performance as the EU average, 420 Mtoe of fuel would have been saved in 2006, avoiding 1.3 Gt of CO2 emissions. The amount of savings would even reach 770 Mtoe or 2.4 Gt CO2 if all thermal power plants followed the Spanish performance.
Industry is the main sector driving energy intensity reduction in industrialised countries. In emerging countries and regions, households is the main sector driving the reduction in energy intensity, because of the substitution by modern, more efficient fuels (e.g. LPG) by traditional fuels (i.e. fuel wood and wastes). In China and the CIS, energy productivity progress was almost equally driven by industry, transformation and domestically.
In OECD countries, China and India, the general trend in industry is towards a decrease in the energy required per unit of value added. This reduction in industrial energy intensity slowed down since 2000 in Europe, North America and China, and had even reversed in OECD Asia & Pacific, because of the recession in Japan. The CIS and the Middle East experienced an increase in the energy intensity of their industry until 2000. In the other regions, the energy intensity remained almost stable, implying an energy consumption growth in industry in line with the level of activity. The energy efficiency of energy intensive industries (e.g. steel, cement, paper) is converging and improving rapidly because of the globalisation of these industries. The best world practices are no longer found only in the most developed countries.
In transport, part of the energy efficiency gains with vehicles have been offset by non technical factors
North America and CIS are among the few regions where the energy consumption of transport is growing much slower than the GDP. In North America, the dramatic improvement in the efficiency of cars in the 80's, following the implementation of the CAFE standards for the fuel economy of new cars, and the initial high-energy intensity of transport in these countries explain this situation.
In Europe, the energy consumption of transport is growing slightly slower than the economic activity since 1990. In OECD Asia & Pacific, there was hardly any reduction. This is not in line with the improvement of the energy efficiency of vehicles as non-technical factors (e.g. congestion, larger and more powerful cars) had contrasting influences. In recent years (since 2000), the energy consumption of transport has remained relatively stable, or its growth has significantly slowed down in several European countries and Japan, because of higher prices and, also, as a result of the policies implemented .
In non-OECD Asian countries, the per capita electricity consumption of households is increasing rapidly (above 10% p.a. in China and around 4% p.a. in India and other Asia). In OECD countries, the progress is slower and, (between 1 and 2% p.a.) and has slowed down over the 90's as the result of a certain saturation in appliance ownership and the effect of the policies implemented to improve the energy efficiency performance of electrical appliances (labelling, efficiency standards). In Europe and North America however, the electricity consumption of households is increasing slightly faster since 2000. This situation is due to the rapid spread of new appliances (e.g. ICT appliances ) and new devices (e.g. stand by modes for an increasing number of applications), as well as a spread of new end-uses, such as air conditioning in Europe. In addition, the policy measures have been focusing only on part of the household electric appliances . In emerging regions, this slow down is probably partially explained by efficiency policies.
CO2 emissions from energy use have increased for all regions since 1990 (they were 34% higher in 2006 than in 1990 at world level), except in the CIS and in Europe. The progression has been more than twice faster since 2000 than between 1990 and 2000 (3% p.a. compared to 1.2 p.a.), with China accounting for about half of the increase. In Europe, climate change policies have helped to keep CO2 emissions from energy use to only 2% above their 1990 level in 2006.
Because of the growing role of emerging countries with lower levels of CO2 emissions per capita, world CO2 emissions per capita are now only slightly higher: they stand at 4.2 t CO2/capita in 2006 compared to 3.9 t in 1990 (+8%).
CO2 emissions generally grew much less rapidly than the economic activity (except in the Middle East, OECD Asia and other Asia). At world level, CO2 emissions per unit of GDP (the CO2 intensity) decreased by 1.4% p.a. between 1990 and 2006, with all the reduction due to energy productivity improvements.
Main world regions grouped indicators presented in this study. These indicators are mainly aggregated, as the data available for world regions are limited. Some additional indicators have been produced at the level of selected countries and made available on the WEC web site (www.worldenergy.org). More detailed indicators exits for EU countries and Norway in the ODYSSEE database .

There wasn't a seat to be had at a packed Margaret Court Arena on Sunday as fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych reached his third consecutive Australian Open quarterfinal.
Initially, it looked as if the match was going to be a breeze for Berdych, but 31st-ranked Kevin Anderson of South Africa staged a feisty battle in the third set. Unfortunately for Anderson, his surge came a bit too late, and Berdych secured the victory in an exciting tiebreaker for a 6-3 6-2 7-6 (13) win.
Berdych, who was instrumental in the Czech Republic's 2012 Davis Cup victory, has moved into the quarterfinals without dropping a set in the four matches he's played.
"I am playing only three sets every single match so I've been able to save some energy," said Berdych, to an enthusiastically cheering crowd after the match.
Of course, going beyond the quarterfinals for the first time here won't be easy for Berdych, who will play either two-time defending champion Novak Djokovic, who has three overall Australian Open trophies, or 15th-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland.
In last year's quarterfinal, Berdych fell to eventual finalist Rafael Nadal. In the 2011 quarterfinal, Berdych was shipped home by Djokovic.
But before Berdych needs to look forward, he can look back on his two-hour, 44-minute victory over Anderson and savour the moment.
The match was all about the third set tiebreaker, which kept fans on the edge of their seats. By this point in the match, both players were in attack mode, Berdych desperate to seal the deal and Anderson hoping to push the match into a fourth set.
Anderson had five set points in the breaker, all on Berdych's serve. Berdych had five match points in the breaker and finally prevailed when Anderson, serving at 13-14, hit a forehand beyond the baseline. As soon as the ball landed, Berdych was pumping his fist in victory, but Anderson chose to challenge the call. Hawkeye, however, confirmed the ball was long, and Berdych quickly resumed his celebration.
"The tiebreak, I was probably a bit luckier," Berdych said.
"I had chances through the third set, but tennis isn't finished until the last point."
Berdych, indeed, had earlier advantages in the third set with a 2-0 lead, but Anderson was able to break back in the third game.
The result improved Berdych's head-to-head against Anderson to a perfect 5-0. Their four previous matches all took place last year -- the first in the Australian Open third round -- and Anderson has only won three sets in the 16 sets they've played.
Berdych has advanced to at least the semifinals at the three other Grand Slams, and his best result at a major was a final berth at Wimbledon 2010. Armed with a glass half-full vision of life, Berdych is hoping that he'll step things up at Melbourne Park this year and at least make the semifinals.
"Every single day you discover something new," Berdych said.
"Every time that you just wake up, it's gonna be something new."

At one point in the no-so-distant past, Digg was one of the hottest startups on the internet. The Web 2.0 boom was in full swing, and Digg and its founder Kevin Rose were the poster children for the next generation of companies that would ride the wave to fame and fortune.
Digg, of course, rose to popularity by providing a platform that democratized the news. Why rely on editors to determine what's important and what's not?Let the wisdom of the crowd works its magic. It was a simple idea, but a powerful one.

In the tech industry, acquisitions are a fact of life. Big companies look to acquisitions for innovation and talent, and many entrepreneurs hope that their hard work will one day result in their creations being acquired.
When it comes to who is doing the acquiring in 2010, Google is at the head of the pack. In search of technologies and services that compliment its initiatives, and perhaps even the next big thing, the search giant has snapped up 23 companies this year according to CB Insights.

Startups looking for funding increasingly have a new class of investor to pitch: super angels. These are individual angels who have raised money from others in the hopes that their smallish funds will serve as the basis for an investing model that merges the best of the angel and VC models. The value proposition to entrepreneurs looking for funding: we're as nimble and friendly as angels, but we have more money available if we decide to make a big bet. But is this all a facade?

The platforms offered by companies like Facebook, Twitter and Apple offer entrepreneurs some very compelling features. They often bring to the table built-in audiences, and, in some cases, established business models.
For reasons like these, it's no surprise that a growing number of entrepreneurs are building entire companies on top of a specific platform. And it's no surprise that investors have flocked to back them.

The internet is an entrepreneur's dream. Thanks to the web, a greater number of individuals around the world have been given the opportunity to start a new business.
But while the internet has helped bring entrepreneurship to the masses, the internet hasn't changed the difficulties entrepreneurs face in starting a company, and arguably, it hasn't improved the odds of success.

Starting a new business is a positive action, and in my experience most entrepreneurs are positive people. But sometimes that positivity can mask harsh realities that many entrepreneurs would rather ignore, and can lead them to buy into ideas that are detrimental to success.
Here are ten dangerous ideas that many startup entrepreneurs buy into that they shouldn't.

While browsing through my RSS reader earlier, I came across an interesting post on PaidContent: a Facebook app called Second Porch raised $1m in funding from an angel fund.
I immediately scratched my head and asked myself: do most entrepreneurs behind individual Facebook apps like Second Porch really need to raise funding for their app businesses? It's a question that I think is increasingly important as more and more entrepreneurs launch their ideas on Facebook, not as standalone websites.

Are you an entrepreneur looking for a new home? Have you always dreamed of living and starting a business in the United States? If so, Uncle Sam wants you.
Yesterday, two U.S. senators introduced a bill that would offer visas to entrepreneurs who start companies in the country. According to the announcement, "The StartUp Visa Act of 2010 will allow an immigrant entrepreneur to receive a two year visa if he or she can show that a qualified U.S. investor is willing to dedicate a significant sum – a minimum of $250,000 – to the immigrant's startup venture."

The name game: Saluting generations of RIT champions
By Paul Stella, Dec. 8, 2011Follow RITNEWS on Twitter
What's in a name? Well, from one corner of campus to another, there's a rich legacy associated with names attached to many academic and residential halls. They honor individuals who in some way served successfully as champions of the university.
Two years ago, RIT moved to a new system designed to better identify campus facilities—weaning faculty, staff and students from the numbers that have long served as primary identifiers.
You're likely now more accustomed to using name over number in referring to one of the university's hallowed halls, but how familiar are you with the individuals those designations celebrate? This quiz might help you better understand what's in a name at RIT .Match the following clues with the photos below. Answers on page 12.
- A key figure in the creation of Mechanics Institute, this individual founded Rochester Knitting Works, which operated locally for more than 100 years.
- A graduate of the domestic science department, this person was named RIT's Outstanding Alumnus of the Year in 1960.
- As a member of the House of Representatives, this individual proposed the bill to create the National Technical Institute for the Deaf.
- The founder and long-time CEO of one of the region's largest employers, this person served as chairman of the board at Mechanics Institute for three years, beginning in 1913.
- This individual played a key role in securing congressional funding for construction of the facility housing the Center for Integrated Manufacturing Studies and numerous CIMS research activities.
- Another of the Mechanic Institute's founders, this individual was a manufacturer of dental chairs and proponent of the school's cooperative training program.
- Among RIT's top benefactors, this individual built a successful business by providing payroll services to small companies.
- This person led RIT as president for more than 30 years, and he also served as an economics professor and wrestling coach.
- In keeping with a lifelong vocation in the newspaper industry, this individual led the founding of the Empire State School of Printing, which joined Mechanics Institute in 1937.
- An undisputed trailblazer for many present-day engineers, this individual achieved a first by getting elected to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
- A native of Milan, Italy, this individual and spouse received the National Design Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003.

During the past thirty years tourists have also ventured beyond the notorious Drake Passage to explore Antarctica with its smoldering volcanic beaches, islands filled with squawking penguins and magnificent blue tabular icebergs. Most of those tourists arrived by ship. Due to the increase in ships of various size and shape, and the environmental threat they pose, in 2011 the Antarctica Treaty Organization started to regulate tourism by prohibiting in Antarctic waters any ship that burns "heavy fuel." (See my blogs of 2010-07-30 No more big ships in Antarctica after August 2011 and 2010-02-20 Antarctica tightens restrictions on cruise ships.)
The new regulation excluded all but small, expeditionary-type vessels and larger ships that can burn lighter, cleaner fuel. In response to the demand for Antarctic itineraries Crystal Symphony will be returning to Antarctica in 2013/2014, as will Azamara Quest, Holland America's Prinsendam, Princess's Star Princess, and last but not least, the Seabourn Quest will make its inaugural cruise. Though most of the larger ships will do only "scenic sailing" (no landings allowed for ship carrying over 400 passengers) Crystal does advertise that it includes "a boots on the ground experience" which looks to be a flight and landing.
While onboard the Crystal Symphony I had the opportunity to ask Captain Egil Giske how the Symphony will comply with the new environmental regulations. He explained that the new Antarctic requirements are exactly the same as those imposed upon ships in the State of California. I had a chance to look into those requirements and it looks like the switch to a lighter, cleaner, more eco-friendly fuel requires no alteration to the engine department however it is more expensive. According to the number of ships back in the market looks like the cost of the expense can be off-set by the demand for the destination.
I have not heard of any immediate plans for Regent's return to Antarctica but all I can is, I'm ready!

cute for summer
Loved the button detail on the back and the fact that the shirt front and upper part of the back were actually different materials. Ordered a small since I wear a small in most limited tops and this seemed to fit true to size. A little loose around the armholes so will probably wear with a sleeveless cami underneath. As other reviewers have commented, the gathered detail at the shoulders is not as pronounced as it looks online but still looks cute for summer.

Nice twist on the basic tee
I really liked this one when I tried it on. True, it's nothing fancy, but the shirring at the shoulders added femininity, and the blouson waist combined comfort and a figure-flattering shape. If your hair is short, then the buttons on the back area yet another cute touch. The material seems substantial, and the size is true. I don't think it looks cheap at all...and it will go with just about anything. For me, the white is better than the yellow, which is kind of a buttery yellow.
September 23, 2012
Very Disappointing!
Looks much better online than in person. When it arrived and I tried it on I was disappointed. The back is cute, but in front it just ended up looking very cheap and very much like a "wife-beater" type tee. The sleeves were too short to be a cap sleeve and too wide to work as a tank. The sleeve length and shape of the collar just looks like I took my husband's white undershirt and cut at the shoulder seams. In person, you don't get any of the pretty ruching at the shoulders either, it just looks wrinkled.
September 18, 2012
Good basic
This top is good for layering in the fall, but because of the details I can pair it with a skirt for work in my business-casual office. Fits true to my usual size (large) at the Limited.

But yeah, funny how you never saw anyone decrying XMMS as the death of UNIX, and it never seemed to be a particular problem then.
X11 offers (and forces you to use) myriad ways to tell the window manager to shut up and get out of the way. Setting the override-redirect flag on your window - which is required for all menus, combo boxes, tooltips, screensavers, and other things I can't remember off the top of my head - makes it impossible for the window manager to in any way influence what goes on.
Wayland and Weston 1.0 released
Posted Oct 26, 2012 20:07 UTC (Fri) by intgr (subscriber, #39733) [Link]
> And Chromium Chromium on Linux has an option "Use System Title Bars and Borders" which turns WM decorations back on. (Click on the empty area next to the tab bar)
> I think Firefox does it now too. Not on my system at least -- still looks Gnomey.
> X11 offers (and forces you to use) myriad ways to tell the window manager to shut up and get out of the way That's not a problem really -- most apps will accept WM decorations for their main window because that's the natural thing to do. The ones that you're listing (Chromium and XMMS) are exceptions.
The problem is the *common* case with Qt apps running on a Gnome desktop or GTK apps running on a KDE desktop -- they will look inconsistent and possibly behave inconsistently too.
Or consider toolkits that until now didn't *need* to render their decorations -- I wonder whether Tkinter and FLTK even have any decoration-rendering code because usually the OS will be happy to provide that. Now they need to implement decorations themself or rely on some new external dependency (probably a competing toolkit).
Or am I missing something?
Posted Oct 26, 2012 21:42 UTC (Fri) by daniels (subscriber, #16193) [Link]
They already do. The contents look totally different. They're designed according to HIGs with fundamentally different ideas. They don't have the same VFS, or open/save dialogs. The button order (OK vs. Cancel) is different. The printing UI isn't common. Keyboard shortcuts are different. And so on, and so forth.
CSD means that window decorations are inconsistent in between applications, but it means that the frame and the application themselves are at least consistent. Swings and roundabouts.
> Or consider toolkits that until now didn't *need* to render their decorations -- I wonder whether Tkinter and FLTK even have any decoration-rendering code because usually the OS will be happy to provide that.
The pithy answer to this is 'life's tough'. Writing a toolkit is already really, really hard. (Window managers too.) You'd be surprised how difficult it is; the /topic in #xorg-devel for years was 'seriously, don't write your own toolkit or window manager'. Especially in X11, and especially with all the synchronisation nightmares that external decorations bring you. It's a lot of code, a lot of frustrations, and a hell of a lot of corner cases.
Wayland greatly simplifies that on the whole by removing a lot of the truly difficult parts (e.g. size incoherence) and hair-tearing corner cases, and since toolkits already render all the content, then I expect rendering decorations won't exactly be onerous for them.
The exception to the rule here is SDL, which AIUI doesn't do any drawing of its own. But that's widely-used enough that I expect they'll be able to adapt quite easily.
Posted Oct 31, 2012 15:53 UTC (Wed) by daglwn (subscriber, #65432) [Link]
Heh. I took one look at XMMS and decided it was unusable precisely because of the application-managed decorations making it really non-intuitive. Consistency is important.
I'm not necessarily saying Wayland is wrong here but it is definitely something to keep on top of. Frozen unkillable windows is my biggest concern with this.
Posted Nov 2, 2012 10:09 UTC (Fri) by intgr (subscriber, #39733) [Link]
This has already been solved in Wayland (or Weston, whatever). Whenever the toolkit pops up a new window, it can register a certain clickable area which acts as the "kill button" if the window isn't responding to events. Normally this area overlaps with the close button on the title bar.
Posted Nov 2, 2012 15:23 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
Posted Nov 2, 2012 16:09 UTC (Fri) by intgr (subscriber, #39733) [Link]
As far as I understand, dragging (moving) windows will still work -- the draggable title bar is registered with a similar hint like the kill button. Window placement and moving is now exclusively the job of the compositor -- windows don't even receive move events and they may not have a well-defined position with respect to the screen any more, because the compositor is free to do anything with them.
But you're right, resizing windows will probably not work as it does in X11.

Next Generation Biofuels Production ProgramThis program is designed to provide funding for the development and commercialization of the next generation of biofuels production in this country. Conventional corn to ethanol and soy oil to biodiesel production facilities need to be supplemented with new and innovative technologies and feedstocks to economically meet future demands. Additionally, these new processes will reduce energy requirements and the "carbon footprint" commonly associated with our current biofuels production facilities. Program closed
Building an Ethanol Plant in Illinois Ethanol's benefits are well documented: it is renewable, reduces dependence on foreign oil, supports the agricultural economy, provides a net reduction in greenhouse gases, and is cleaner-burning for carbon monoxide, particulates and air toxins compared to conventional gasoline.
Renewable Fuels Development Program The Renewable Fuels Development Program (RFDP) was established in June of 2003 by Public Act 93-15 to provide grants for the construction of new biofuels production facilities in Illinois. The program is specifically designed to increase biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) production in Illinois.
Illinois E-85 Infrastructure Development Program Through a grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation (ICECF), Illinois is helping to build an infrastructure of E-85 refueling stations throughout the state. E-85 is currently the main alternative to petroleum gasoline and is composed of 85 percent ethanol fuel and 15 percent petroleum gasoline.
Renewable Fuels Research, Development and Demonstration ProgramThrough its Renewable Fuels Research, Development and Demonstration Program, DCEO works with Illinois' industrial and agricultural organizations to actively promote and expand the use of biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, as clean, renewable transportation fuels.
What are Renewable Fuels? Ethanol and biodiesel are currently the most popular renewable fuels in the U.S. These fuels are derived from locally grown corn and soybeans and serve as alternatives to gasoline. As gas prices continue to rise, demand for these renewable fuels increases. Illinois is at the forefront of research and production in the field of renewable fuels. The renewable fuels industry reduces our dependence on foreign oil, keeps energy dollars in the local economy, creates jobs, supports local corn and soybean prices, and contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment in Illinois.
Biofuels Resources The renewable fuels industry is growing increasingly popular as the industry expands and new developments are made. Click on the links below to access additional biofuels resources.

Ninety years after the British discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, Egyptologist Chris Elliot reflects on the legacy of Tutmania with ten sites inspired by Ancient Egypt.
Now that the golden face of Tutankhamun is one of the most familiar images in the world, it is easy to forget that he was once a footnote in the history of Ancient Egypt, an obscure ruler known only from a few inscriptions. All that changed on November 4 1922, when at the bottom of a flight of steps cut into the rock of the Valley of the Kings a door was discovered, with the seals of the necropolis officials still intact.
Cleopatra's Needle Victoria Embankment, London WC2
The oldest site on the list, dating back nearly 3,500 years. It took more than 70 years to bring it to London, as politics and economics were pitted against patriotism and popular enthusiasm in a struggle that said much about our attitudes to Ancient Egypt.

There are some people in this world who seem like the have earned the dues, who have worked hard to get to where they are, and who know when they're (and more importantly, when they're NOT) welcome to intrude upon their lives. None of these people will be present on the following list.
- Pitbull
Having titled his most recent album Planet Pit (ugh…), clearly Pitbull doesn't think too highly of himself. But since his first album in 2004, he has released SIX albums, and this year alone, has released four singles of his own, and guest appeared on seven others. Go away.
- Katherine Heigl
Rotten Tomatoes scores of Heigl's last four films; Killers (11%), Life As We Know It (28%), The Ugly Truth (14%), 27 Dresses (40%, hooray!). Next up is the rom-com New Years Day, the semi-sequel to Valentine's Day (17%), and then One For The Money, from the director of The Last Song (20%) which is about a bounty hunter chasing down their ex, which sounds a lot like The Bounty Hunter (7%).
- will.i.am
Almost single-handedly responsible for the failure of Cheryl Cole's career, and also the introduction of the current trend in monotonous electro-dance-r'n'b hybrid that EVERY. SINGLE. SONG must sound like lately. He's also thinking he can act (X-Men Wolverine: 37%) and is being hired as a creative director for Intel (WTF??). Top it all off with his new album title, The Black Einstein, and he's changing his name to Zuper Blahq. Gross.
- Kate Hudson
Back to Rotten Tomatoes: A Little Bit Of Heaven (6%), Something Borrowed (14%), Bride Wars (11%), Fool's Gold (11%), My Best Friends Girl (14%), You Me & Dupree (21%), Raising Helen (23%), Alex & Emma (11%)… thats quite a track record. Remember to the girl from Almost Famous? What happened to her? We miss her. Come back when you're her again.
- David Guetta
Think of every annoyingly catchy song that seems to be played in every club and on every radio station every day for three months straight. There is a very good chance that Guetta was involved with it. There was a moment, some time in 2009, when it seemed like he was a good influence. But then, just like will.i.am, everything seemed to sound the same. Also, his song titles are the worst kind of generic, but we all look forward to future releases "Dance To This" and "Music Is Nice".
Also shortlisted for expulsion from life:
- Lil' Wayne. So far in 2011, Mister Wayne has appeared on over THIRTY different singles, not including any he has released himself. He's done raps with Jennifer Lopez, Joe Jonas, Madonna and Mariah Carey. Isn't there some kind of Rap Guy Respect Repo company out there hunting him down?
- Jack Black. His films seem to do rather well critically (five of his last eight movies scored over 70% on RT), but he himself… he is just draining. And when he gets it wrong (Gulliver's Travels, Year One), its a cinematic train wreck. Take some time off, a few years maybe, then come back with a dramedy like Will Ferrell did with Stranger Than Fiction. Actually, come to think of it…
- Will Ferrell. Take another break, then come back with Even Stranger Than Fiction.
- RedOne, real name Nadir Khayat. There's a very good chance you have no idea who he is, but he wrote and produced the following songs: "Just Dance", "LoveGame", "Poker Face", "Bad Romance", "Alejandro", "Judas"… that's right. RedOne is the person responsible for Lady GaGa's popularity. We need to sort this problem out from it's source.

(CNN) -- The Obama administration has responded to GOP questions about President Obama's actions on the night of the U.S. Consulate attack in Benghazi, administration officials said. Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, received a letter from the White House, the sources said. This comes amid concern that Republicans will filibuster Obama's nomination of Chuck Hagel for defense secretary if they feel they aren't getting appropriate answers to their questions.

It has the full bottom end characteristic of 6L6 tubes, and a versatile all-tube preamp—including a 12AT7 up front for cleaner tone; especially with humbucking pickups. A 100-watt Jensen® C12K speaker handles the immediacy of Benson's singing soloing style with clarity and range, and the solid-pine cabinet increases tonal resonance while reducing weight. Standard features include clean and "drive/more-drive" channels, resounding Fender spring reverb, effects loop and more. Personalized exterior touches specified by Benson himself include gray-black vinyl covering, silver-strand grille cloth and "GB" logo badge. Road-worthy deluxe padded cover and two-button footswitch included. Separate matching 1x12" extension enclosure (part number 223-1400-000) adds output, fullness and stage coverage.
The GB Logo design is a trademark of Hoshino Gakki Co., Ltd., with which FMIC is not affiliated.

Red Hat: More Turnover and Profit Thanks to Linux
Linux distributor Red Hat has reported increased turnover and profits in its interim report for the second quarter. The company mainly owes these promising figures to its Linux business.
The second quarter 2008 ended August 31, 2007 for Red Hat, whose business year ends February 29, 2008. Red Hat reported a turnover of US$ 127.3 in the second quarter, which is equivalent to a 28 percent increase compared to last year's figures, and seven percent up on the first quarter of 2008. Red Hat mainly owes its success to sales of software subscriptions of its enterprise Linux variant. Turnover of Red Hat Enterprise Linux totaled US$ 109.2 m, which is 29 percent up on the previous year's figures of US$ 84.9 m, and six percent up on the previous quarter. Net profits rose by 64 percent to US$ 18.2 m, compared with US$ 11 m in 2006. On a per share basis this means a dividend of US$ 0.09 compared with US$ 0.05 last year. Red Hat points to the more than 3000 applications that are now certified on the Red Hat platform.
Charlie Peters, Red Hat's Chief Financial Officer was also pleased with the development of operative profits and cash flow. "We continue to deliver strong operating profitability and cash flow". Peters sees the demand for Open Source solutions continuing to grow, and sees the need to invest in infrastructure in the interest of Red Hat's shareholders.
Parallel to the interim report, Peters had two personnel announcements to make. The previous head of the Red Hat Financial Division, Mark Cook, is being promoted to Vice President Finance and Controller; Paul Argiry will be taking over the position as Vice President and Treasurer. Cook joined Red Hat in 2004; Argiry's last position was as the Chief Financial Officer with Californian electronics corp., Jabil Circuit.
This is the third change to Red Hat's executive team in just a few days, with marketing boss Tim Yeaton having been replaced by Michael Chen. At the beginning of the week, Red Hat's shares had been downgraded from "outperforming" to "neutral" due to organizational and structural issues that started with the acquisition of middleware vendor Jboss.

Legal Custody
You may be adding a person to your household through any one of the methods mentioned above. If you are adding a child to your household because of legal guardianship, legal custody or foster care, that child may be eligible for coverage under a number of benefit plans provided by the university. The Work/Life Program (IMPACT) can assist you in locating childcare, community resources for special needs care, and assistance in preparing for this important life change.
The addition of a child to your household may create a need to adjust your participation in several available benefit programs and provide the university with updated personal information. You may also wish to review your federal, state and, if applicable, city tax withholding elections. The following is a checklist of issues for you to consider:
- Personal Information Update - You will need to complete and return a Change of Employee Personal Information Form in order to add a dependent or change any of these items: name, address, phone, title, marital status, emergency contact. You will also be required to provide documentation for the status of any child you wish to add as a dependent. You will need to submit the Change of Employee Personal Information Form and supporting documents within 31 days of the change of event. You can also change your mailing address and/or emergency contact information by logging into FlashLine, clicking on the MyHR tab and selecting Personal Information under Employment Details.
- Medical/Dental/Vision Enrollment Changes - You will need to complete and return a Group Insurance Enrollment Form (found in the HR Forms Library) to change your enrollment in the medical/dental/vision plans. This includes changes for single/family coverage or opt-out of the coverage, adding a dependent and designation of a primary care physician for any covered family members. Under Internal Revenue Service regulations, you must submit this form to the Benefits Office within 31 days of the placement of the child in your home if you wish to make any changes.
- Flexible Spending Accounts - If you wish to enroll in a Dependent Care and/or Health Care Reimbursement Account or if you wish to change your level of participation in one of these accounts, you must complete a new Flexible Spending Account Enrollment Form (found in the HR Forms Library). Under Internal Revenue Service regulations, you must submit this form to the Benefits Office within 31 days of the placement of the child in your home if you wish to make any changes.
- Payroll Tax Withholding- If you need to change your federal, state or local income tax withholding you should contact the Payroll Department at 330-672-2637 or you can obtain most forms from the Payroll Department web site. All completed forms must be returned to the Payroll Department.
Life Insurance Beneficiary - If you need to change the beneficiary for the group term life insurance provided to you by Kent State University, you must complete and return a Change of Beneficiary Form (found in the HR Forms Library). Completed forms should be sent to the Benefits Office, Wright Hall, 1st Floor.
Tuition Benefits - If your new dependent plans on attending Kent State or is currently enrolled, it is important to read the eligibility requirements for tuition waiver benefits.
If you are adding an adult to your household because of legal guardianship, that person is not eligible for coverage under the benefit plans sponsored by the university. The Work/Life Program (IMPACT) can assist those employees assuming custody or guardianship of a child or elder parent by providing information on legal and community resources. Information may be provided on elder law, recognizing signs of Alzheimer's, blended families and other related concerns. Workshops are occasionally offered on such topics as elder law and assisting your aging relative.

Fra Bartolommeo (Italian, 1472-1517)
Angel Playing the Lute, n.d.
Angel Playing the Lute, n.d.
Crocker Art Museum, E. B. Crocker Collection
Baccio della Porta, who was later known as Fra Bartolommeo after he took religious orders, was apprenticed to the painter Cosimo Rosselli at the age of thirteen. This placed him at the center of a community of Florentine artists during his training. His ability to incorporate what he learned allowed him to develop an appealing style that later brought him major commissions, including the Vision of Saint Bernard for the cathedral of Lucca. A frequent collaborator of Mariotto Albertinelli, who had also trained with Rosselli, Fra Bartolommeo received his most important commission in 1510, an altarpiece for the Sala Grande (now the Salone dei Cinquecento) in the Palazzo della Signoria in Florence. The unfinished altarpiece is now in the Museo di San Marco.
Fra Bartolommeo popularized the use of black chalk, bringing a new facility and texture to the medium. In this drawing, the contrast between smooth skin, filmy drapery, and feathery wings is brought out by touches of white chalk. The figure, a music-making angel meant for the steps below an enthroned Madonna, shows the artist's experimentation with different angles of the head.

I've recently completely turned this mower into a new build. If you've read this before, proceed to step 12 for the latest updates. Otherwise, start reading below for the original build. Thanks to everyone who has commented before. As always, feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer. Click Here to proceed to step 12.
In this demo, you'll get some ideas of how you can make a real racing riding mower used in national events. Have fun turning what used to be the family lawn mower into a fire-breathing high speed racing machine. Also- I'm constantly making changes and modifications to the final machine so check back to see what I've done. The next plans I have include steering upgrades.
Please read the following paragraph before proceeding.
Before we start, there's a bit of safety to discuss.Yes, racing lawn mowers from an outward perspective is sort of funny ( which it is!)But its important to realize that racing mowers such as these are heavily modified to handle much greater speeds than the original mower was designed for. Many of these mowers go 50MPH or more.Making a race mower isn't as simple as taking a stock tractor and making it go fast without any alterations. So its important that the frame, brakes, steering, engine, and wheels are modified or altered to handle this additional speed.So to make this point doubly clear, it is NOT a good idea to take a bone stock mower and make it go fast. You can, and will get hurt if you do so, and trust me- I've seen enough people wreck due to this very reason. So play it safe. Secondly, if you do plan on racing, make sure and check out the rules for your chapter and wear appropriate safety gear such as a helmet ( motorbike), gloves, boots, and long pants.My mower is built using ARMA ( American Racing Mower Association) rules and regulations. Lastly, your mower must have an approved jet ski/snowmobile style safety tether switch. If you fall off ( which we often do) the mower must automatically shut down or it'll keep right on going! Racing mowers might seem silly, which it sort of is, but you can get hurt if you're not careful. So be safe!
Ready, let's get started! The 'victim' I chose for this build is a late 60's Grants mower. Tiny little mowers like these were produced back when riding mowers were still deemed a luxury. They're little more than a seat sitting on top of a mower deck. Most used smaller engines. The advantage of using such a little mower is that you can reduce the weight dramatically by simply having a 'legit' riding mower complimented with a larger engine, hence a higher power/weight ratio. Don't get attached to it. When its done, there won't be much left of the original.
The first step is to strip the mower down to the frame. Modern mowers usually have a single stamped piece of steel. Older mowers like this one have frames made of square tubing or slabs of steel. This will give you an idea of how much of the mower is actually usable and how you can lay out the drive, steering, and brake components. Besides the hood, what's leftover to use isn't much. The rest are worthless such as the stock wheels, steering wheel, and transmission.

A Lawn tractor do any
Of you guys/girls now
Anybody in Nova Scotia
With a lawn tractor for sale
Let me know Thanks
Please do that, and reply to this comment so I know when you are done.
Its a Wizard dont know the year
Also, bought a different engine then I intended to use. I planned on using an 110hp Arctic Cat engine, but I am selling it and using this little 30hp 340 instead, seemed a little more reasonable. I want to lower this mower in the back, use wheels only slightly larger then the front instead of the big ones that came on it (Also because I am custom making the whole drivetrain, I can make it to whatever wheel size I want) and I want to keep all the body panels on, but adjust the main one so the seat sits lower.
The drivetrain that came off this has both a high speed 90 degree gear box which would be great for a lawnmower engine to get it driving a shaft horizontally, as well as a 4 speed w/ reverse transmission with differential. The transmission is bullet proof, solid cast iron construction. 1st gear has loads of power, if you punched the pedal you could get the front end of the tractor to come way up off the ground, 4th gear without mods would run this tractor up to about 50km/h. I would like to use the transmission in a go kart sometime with a manual clutch, I could make a mean racing machine with that setup.
Old lawn tractors are by far the best lawn tractors you can get, do a pulley swap and tune the engine, you could probably hand a lot of people their mowers on a silver platter with a near stock machine.
Engine/clutch 14tooth -> 14tooth on RAGB=Same ratio.
RAGB has 2:1 ratio. Now engine turns twice for axle turning once. RAGB has a 12tooth and rear axle has a 40tooth.
40tooth / 12tooth = 3.33 ratio x 2 (from 2:1 ratio in RAGB) = 6.66:1 over all ratio.
Tires are 11 inches in diameter.
With that ratio your speed will be:
5000RPM=24.56MPH and
Changing ANY of the numbers changes the MPH. If you change to a 36tooth rear sprocket then the ratio becomes 36/12=3:1x2(RAGB)=6:1 total.
Then the speeds become:
5000RPM=27.27MPH and
These are TRUE numbers, IF the clutch is locked up and not slipping. Using belts, there may be belt slippage, making your speed a little slower.
With a 40/12 ratio, changing rear tire from 11 inch to 12 inch diameter changes speed at 6000 from 29.48MPH to 32.16MPH.
It would be easy to put all of that into a spreadsheet to show speeds for every 1000RPM and what happens when changing sprocket ratios or tire sizes.
I made a formula over 35 years ago to figure numbers like that out, the formula is:
Nice Instructable.

"Improbable Transgressions" is a double cd presenting a unique proposal of the internationally acclaimed classical and contemporary percussionist Pedro Carneiro. For his debut recording on Sirr, Pedro improvised nine solo five-octave marimba pieces, each one dedicated to a specific sound artist - and each one of these "tokens" were then sent to their particular dedicatee, with a short humurous note: "please hack me".
Disc "solo marimba improvisations" contains 9 solo for marimba recorded live, with no edits or overdubs. Each Improvisation is an open invitation to that particular artist to explore different modus operandi of their own idiom, using the sonic scope of the improvisation as the sole raw material for their digital audio "hack".
Disc "transgressions" contains 9 hacks/interpretations from artists across a diverse field of musical genres: Convolution Brothers, Chris Brown, Ivan Franco, Brandon Labelle, Stephan Mathieu João Pedro Oliveira, André Sier, Cristian Vogel, Ralf Wehowsky - this disc present the final reworking of their respective solo improvisations.
With an 8 page booklet full of liner notes written by Carneiro, artist Leonel Moura and the sound artists themselves, "Improbable Transgressions" is an exciting double album, featuring collaborative work involving an explosive mix of creative artists working in the field of digital audio processing and experimental music.
Percussionist, composer and conductor, Pedro Carneiro studied in France, England and Italy with David Corkhill, Leigh Howard Stevens and Emilio Pomárico. Internationally acclaimed as one of the leading solo classical percussionists of today, he is a regular guest soloist in prestigious festivals, venues and orchestras throughout five continents. His repertoire spans from Bach, Schumann, Debussy to Feldman, Reich, Carter and Xenakis. He has also been recently involved in several projects including live electronics and cutting-edge technology."-Sirr.ecords

Jeff Han demonstrates his multi-touch screen, which can respond to the movements of multiple fingers or hands; here he enlarges an image.
Image: Brian Maranan Pineda
In Brief
- Rather than responding to the presence of a single finger, multi-touch computer screens can follow the instructions of many fingers simultaneously.
- A wall-size screen developed by Perceptive Pixel can respond to as many as 10 fingers or multiple hands. Microsoft and Mitsubishi are offering smaller, specialized systems for hotels, stores, and engineering and design firms.
- Multi-touch computing could one day free us from the mouse as our primary computer interface, the way the mouse freed us from keyboards.

How it Works: Multi-touch Surfaces Explained
When Apple's iPhone hit the streets last year, it introduced so-called multi-touch screens to the general public. Images on the screen can be moved around with a fingertip and made bigger or smaller by placing two fingertips on the image's edges and then either spreading those fingers apart or bringing them closer together. The tactile pleasure the interface provides beyond its utility quickly brought it accolades. The operations felt intuitive, even sensuous. But in laboratories around the world at the time of the iPhone's launch, multi-touch screens had vastly outgrown two-finger commands. Engineers have developed much larger screens that respond to 10 fingers at once, even to multiple hands from multiple people.
It is easy to imagine how photographers, graphic designers or architects—professionals who must manipulate lots of visual material and who often work in teams—would welcome this multi-touch computing. Yet the technology is already being applied in more far-flung situations in which anyone without any training can reach out during a brainstorming session and move or mark up objects and plans.
