844: Good Code
|Good Code
Title text: You can either hang out in the Android Loop or the HURD loop.
The comic references the common meme of programmers that one can't actually write good code. Either the code is done quickly with shoddy "code style", weak logical structure, or any number of other kludges and hacks (which causes maintenance of the code to be a programmer's nightmare)... or else it is written well and beautifully structured, but can never be completed before changes in the situation cause the original code design to be insufficient for one or multiple reasons.
Either situation eventually leads to the need to completely start from scratch, designing and writing the program's code all over again. Of course, the writing of this new program is also locked in the perpetual cycle of choosing between ugly/bad code that works marginally well, or good/pretty code that never gets completed before being obsolete.
Additionally, the humorous point is being further emphasized for the primary target audience, programmers, by using an infinite loop (or more precisely, 2 possible loops and 1 forced loop) in the flowchart itself.
Also, of particular note, is the fact that Randall (the author) drives home the point of the inescapability of the infinite loop(s) by the use of the additional, disconnected, and logically unreachable portion of the flowchart. This disconnect points out that the only way to actually get to "Good Code" using the flow chart would be to follow a path of actions -- which does not start at the proscribed place -- for which there is only an unknown (and possibly unknowable) starting action ("?") which no one has ever discovered previously.
The image title text, "You can either hang out in the Android Loop or the HURD loop," makes a further dig at each community, claiming that Android developers are always choosing fast, ugly code, while HURD developers are always choosing to "do things right" but can therefore never finish their project at all. (The GNU Hurd project, which aims to create the kernel (i.e. lower-level portions) of the "GNU operating system," while building on a number of fundamentally "beautiful" concepts, has nonetheless been in development for many years with little forward motion towards actual usability by anyone except the developers themselves.)
Finally, the transcript of this comic is itself somewhat humorous (an additional inside joke, if you will) in that it converts the flowchart into a simple list of instructions (aka pseudo-code) using numbered lines as reference points for identifying which instruction to read and follow next. This process is basically identical to the oft-maligned programming technique of using so-called "goto loops." -- Furthermore, there is also a slight cross-reference between infinite loops and goto loops which is probably being referenced, in that goto loops are often criticized (whether accurately or not) as being more likely to create unintended infinite loops in code... primarily because of the difficulty inherent in keeping track of possible entry and exit paths, especially when making edits to the code at a later time.

J. Sesso needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 110 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Ludus Gaming presents the Domina console
LudusDomina, LooDomina, LudusGaming, LuDnA, LooDnA, LDomina are all domain names.
Our LUDUS will train adults in the all the adult games and entertainment, and the DOMINA will make sure the adults stay within the rules and boundaries of the system to keep it classy and elegant.
Part of this idea came from the TV show: Spartacus on Starz. We like the Roman history because we are Italian.
Initial taget audience is gamer males 18 - 35 that would like to play on a high end game system that goes beyond the PlayStation and Xbox offering today. Secondary target audience is adult women that want to have a safe and fun experience with out being judged or put in an awkward situation.
We are looking for a combo logo, with possibly a LUDUS in the background (reference Ludus Magnus from history) or any training facility from ancient Rome AND our DOMINA which could be represented by a womanly or goddess figure or other authority depiction. The logo could also take on a modern dipiction of what a gaming facility might look like.
Please use your creative freedom to come up with the best logo in picture or text forms or both. Colors have not been decided yet, up to you too.
Since we are a first to market opportunity, we need to stand out and be larger than life to build our cult following. We are still a startup without a great story, so we are trying to form our story. It starts with this.

The TrackingFilenames spreadsheet
... lives in S:\Digital Projects\Organization\Digital_Program_Logs on the share drive.
We use this document to track assignment of collection numbers to collections.
for more information, see File_naming_schemes
The first page of this spreadsheet is "Catgories" and is split into UA Hoole holdings and others.
Holder identification
- All the holdings from Hoole begin with the letter "u";
- all the holdings from non-profit institutions begin with the letter "n"
- all the holdings from patrons begin with "p"
- Tuskegee content begins with "t"
- Williams collection content will begin with "w"
Type of content identification
- 0001 is assigned to still images
- 0002 is assigned to text, such as published books, pamphlets, etc.
- 0003 is manuscript materials
- 0004 is sheet music
- 0005 is maps
- 0006 is archives
- 0007 is video
- 0008 is audio
- 0009 is mixed media
- 0010 is artifacts
- 0011 is graphics (includes Publishers Bindings Online, for example)
- 0012 is government documents
- 0015 is student documents (such as Electronic Theses and Dissertations, Honors projects, etc.)
When creating a new collection, check here to identify what category your collection should be in.
If you are the first to digitize a particular type of content -- such as a non-profit video -- you will need to add to these categories appropriately, and create a page for that holderID.
Collection number creation
Each of the other pages in TrackingFilenames belongs to one of these holders/types of materials. There's a page for u0001, u0002, u0003, p0001, etc. We call this first segment of the identifier the "HolderID" as it defines who holds the analog content, with some indication as to where that content might be based on type. The type also impacts metadata spreadsheet selection, possibly formats, and sometimes delivery methodology.
The collection number that is added onto the holderID to create the collection identifier reflects, if possible, the analog collection number.
In manuscripts, for example, the MSS number is used, left padded with zeros to 7 digits. Hence, MSS 252 becomes 0000252. Since this is in Hoole manuscripts, the collection identifier is then u0003_0000252. This is entered on the u0003 sheet of TrackingFilenames with information about this collection:
- Collection number (this is the assigned identifier)
- container (this applied to CONTENTdm delivery, and is a date range. We've not yet deleted this as it may yet prove useful.)
- physical location
- primary analog format
- source collection
- description
- notes
- content donor
- processing donor
- digitization funder
These columns are the same across all holderID pages. Please fill in this info the best you can when starting a new collection.
Before long, we will be uploading all this information into the InfoTrack database (see Tracking_for_the_long_term, and eventually setting up an interface for adding information there.

Members of the McDonough County Board's finance committee were put on notice Wednesday that five review sessions to build the county's 2015 budget have been scheduled in September.
"Budgets should be run through the appropriate county board committees before we discuss them here," said finance committee chair Alice Henry. McDonough County is subject to the Illinois Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, which ties the level of increase to the federal consumer price index.
Henry said the CPI is now at 1.5 percent, down from 1.7 percent last year. She said county department heads have been diligent each year in holding their budgets to minimal increases because revenues have not been coming up to expectations.
In terms of county services, Board Chairman Scott Schwerer said, "We're getting to the point that we can only afford what is specifically required by law."
The finance committee has budget sessions scheduled for September 3 at 6 p.m., September 10 at 4 p.m. and again at 6 p.m., September 11 at 4 p.m., and September 18 at 6 p.m. and will use the month of October to finalize the new budget. The county board generally votes on the budget in November and it goes into effect December 1.
In other business, the committee voted to recommend monthly payments to McDonough County Public Transportation and to the Bushnell Senior Meals program. The two services draw funds from the county's senior citizen tax levy at an 80 per cent to 20 percent ratio.
"People really did step up for this," Henry said of efforts to retain meal deliveries in Bushnell after the American Red Cross chapter withdrew from transportation services.
The committee voted recommendation of an $8,000 transfer within the budget of Coroner Eric Jameson due to the number of autopsies conducted this year. Also recommended was a new five-year contract with DEVNET, the company that provides the computer program used in processing property tax bills, at a cost of $30,000.
Schwerer mentioned that the concrete intersections have been rebuilt at each end of the Blandinsville/Tennessee Blacktop. He said milling and then oiling and chipping of the road surface have yet to be done.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Season the butter with salt and cayenne pepper and freeze the butter for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the onions, peppers, garlic, sport peppers, and pickle juice together. Season the mixture with salt and cayenne pepper.
Place a large towel on a cutting board. Place the turkey directly on top of the cloth. This will prevent the turkey from sliding. Remove the neck, gizzards and livers from the cavity of the turkey. Rinse the turkey under cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey, breast side up, on the work surface with the cavity facing you. Using a sharp knife, make three slits on either side of the breast bone, without breaking through the skin. Insert 2 to 3 slices of the frozen butter into each slit. Season each slit with salt and cayenne pepper. Insert about a teaspoon of the vegetable mixture into each slit, pushing with your fingers. Carefully stuff the boudin sausage in-between the flesh and skin. Gently pull the drumstick forward and outward to expose the inner thigh Pull the skin away from the meat. Make a slit following the bone line from the top of each leg. Using your index finger, make a path and stuff with the butter and vegetables. Season the skin which has been loosened around the inner thigh with salt and cayenne pepper. Turn the turkey breast side up, with the neck opening facing you. Lift the skin flap and make a slit down each wing from the shoulder, again following the bone lines. Stuff each wing with butter and vegetables. Season the outside of the turkey with salt and cayenne pepper. Stuff the cavity with any leftover boudin sausage, butter and vegetables. Secure the wings by folding the lower half back over the top of the wing. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine Place the turkey in a large deep roasting pan.
Roast the turkey for 15 to 20 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F. Cover the turkey with a lid and bake for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear. Remove from the pan and let cool for 10 minutes. Lift the turkey our of the pan and carve. Serve with the pan juices.

Sprint has disclosed that they're in talks with Softbank, Japan's third-largest mobile carrier, about Softbank potentially acquiring of a large stake in Sprint. In a statement this morning, Sprint announced that the talks primarily regard a "substantial investment" in Sprint by Softbank, and a potential transaction could change who controls Sprint. Such a move would give Softbank an instant national foothold in the United States, and help Sprint financially. They would not be the first internationl carrier to come to the U.S. either. Vodafone, the second-largest carrier in the world, owns a large stake in Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile is famously owned by Deutsche Telekom.
Sprint has been the thrid-place carrier in the U.S. for years, and though a Softbank investment would not change that, at least in the short term, it might allow Sprint a bit of breathing room, as well as more resources to increase the deployment of their LTE network. What this means for a potential Sprint bid on MetroPCS is unknown.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War, a conflict that raged for four years. After the war, many veterans moved West to start a new life, and that movement will be highlighted May 21 at "From War to Reconciliation — Moving On and Moving West" at Crescenta Valley Park.
Organized by the Crescenta Valley and Little Landers historical societies, the living history presentation will introduce some of those Civil War veterans who came West. One of them is Henry Mingay, who settled in Glendale.
Jeff Lawson, of Glendale, plans to participate in the living history event.
Although he will be dressed as a soldier in a Vermont regiment, he'll also be paying tribute to Mingay of Glendale.
Organizers asked Lawson to provide information on Glendale's link to the war.
"It is often surprising for us Westerners that there is any connection at all, but many veterans came West after the war," Lawson said.
Through his preliminary digging to find a Glendale link, Lawson discovered Mingay, a young man from Saratoga Springs, N.Y., who joined the Union forces and served with the "Fighting Sixtyninth." After the war, Mingay came to Glendale, living at 804 E. Elk Ave. He died in 1947 and was buried at Grand View Memorial Park, according to his obituary, on file in Special Collections.
In his quest to find out more about Mingay, Lawson contacted me and in subsequent emails explained how his interest in the Civil War began.
"Ken Burns is mostly to blame," he said.
Burns' PBS documentary on the Civil War inspired Lawson to travel to Gettysburg, Pa., in 1993 for a reenactment of Pickett's Charge.
"After that trip, I was hooked," he said. "All I ever read to this day is historical literature about the war, or soldiers who fought in the war."
In 2002, when his daughter was in second grade at Balboa Elementary, her teacher, Shirley Manning, asked Lawson to make a presentation.
"Of course, I didn't need any prompting. As a graphic designer, I made up sets of postcards with historical figures, maps, cotton, etc., and bought enough hardtack (biscuits, from the last original bakery that actually made the stuff during the war) to give out samples to the class."
After that, Lawson did a presentation every year. Then, he began visiting local reenactments and encountered members of the Vermont Volunteers Historical Assn. (a living history and reenactment group portraying the soldiers of Company E, 2nd Regiment, Vermont Volunteer Infantry). When he discovered that they did educational presentations as part of their Charter, he joined them. Now, he portrays a Union soldier from Tunbridge, Vt., at local schools each spring.
Through the Vermont group, he participated in Gettysburg's 145th anniversary reenactment and this July will participate in a reenactment of the Battle of Bull Run at Manassas, Va.
"Why do I do this? Kids (and even adults) know so very little about this period in our nation's history, but when you start learning about those four very intense years, you realize it is in many ways the foundation of understanding our country's history since then," Lawson said.
So, although Lawson will be at the living history presentation in Crescenta Valley Park dressed as a private from Tunbridge, Vt., he'll also be paying tribute to another Civil War veteran, Henry Mingay, who is buried right here in Glendale. (More about Henry Mingay at a later date.) For more about the living history presentation at Crescenta Valley Park, visit CVHistory.org or LittleLandersHistoricalSociety.org.

Don Galleher remembers the Tower Market at the corner of Central Avenue and Vine Street and recalls it as one of the first mini malls in the West.
"Back in those days of the 1940s and '50s we lived on Hawthorne Street and during the day we kids lived on our bicycles. In the summer I would pack a little lunch, leave the house by 9 a.m. with my buddies and tell my mother I would be home by dinner time. You could do that in those days.
When World War II broke out, we would ride our bikes over to Grand Central Airport by Sonora Street and watch the P-38's take off and land. San Fernando Road was under a camouflage netting in those days to hide the factories there that were building military aircraft.
Sometimes, on the way home we would stop by Fremont Park and play on the World War I cannon parked there and try our luck fishing at the large pond in the middle of the park. I don't think we ever caught a thing but we had fun anyhow. It was fun growing up in Glendale in those days."

It was dark, quite, eerie, and worse of all I was alone. My fellow comrades and I set out on a scout trip just a few days ago. Originally from the star ship Chicago, we were suppose to prepare landing for mobile science labs. It was soon I realize I was the true experiment for theses so called scientists. I had awoken at a dark hour to an abandoned camp. Not a singe one of my fellow spacemen/women remained. Their whereabouts baffle me to this very day but only I, the developers, and maybe even possibly that thing growing on my foot can imagine what had happened to them. All I had were my spaceman shorts and bare hands to fend against this strange hostile world. For reasons that are beyond me I choose not to loot my camp for clothes or weapons but venture on and push my human limits in a non-human world. The trees, if you can even call them that, were tall and thin. Their leaves like sea weed but just much darker like good cheese gone wrong. The ground was hard yet soft and the air was thick but comforting. My first instinct was to climb a tree and try to get my bearings but I soon realized I was not a monkey and can not climb. Happily disappointed in my self I left the ugly tree behind me and instead searched for sounds of water. Still keeping in mind that I said it was dark I stumbled over some sort of native grandma whom, to my belief, smelled of my high school lunch lady (who I did NOT smell on a daily basis). It gargled at me then bit my face, I think. I don't know, maybe it did something else to my face, who can say for sure? A little nauseous I went to laydown for a little while but unplannedly fallen asleep. When I woke up I realized I had slept in alien diarrhea and contracted a disease in my face where that angry grandma bit me. At this pointed I wanted to go home. Not because I was having a bad day but I think I left my space stove on. Well I got up and brushed myself off to figure out I was in the den of some savage beast's. The den was like one of those nasty ball pits at those children's pizza places but instead of colorful balls there was skulls and half eaten pizzas, a poor mixture if I do say so myself. The dirty beast didn't even have the decadency to clean up for administrators, let along guests. As I inched my way through the skulls and moldy pizza for the exit the beast shouted out "Hey buddy where you headed?". Something a little extra squirted out of my pants at this instance when I realized the nasty beast was actually that grandma from last night. I tried my best to explain I was just going to look for a change of shorts, sense you know I defecated every where. I got about 7 feet away from the den when I started in a dead run. In the distance I could hear angry alien grandmas knitting and conspiring against me. I ran for what seemed days, or about 30 seconds in reality. When I finally stopped I found myself on the bank of a small river. There I indulged myself in the cold shiny fluid that I hope was water. Oddly enough this fluid tasted very much like mercury. It wasn't much time after that I was throwing up and getting my veins pumped by those little blood sucking serpent who's name has escaped my mind at the moment. What I really needed was StarCommand medicine and a good hour or two in the holodeck with that purple alien girl. Man that purple alien girl knows how to teach grammar! I thought these were the final moments of my life. I thought it was all over. No. I wrote this survivor story so I must not have died. I lied still for sever minutes just for my buddy Derik to come over and shake me. "There you are, we've been looking every where for you. Don't you remember? We left early for that sanity drill. I think you lost this time. Have you been drinking your own piss again?"
And the moral of the story is.....
All I had were my spaceman shorts and bare hands.
Spread your tales of space exploration!

ISRO To Launch Third Cartosat Satellite In Mid-DecemberThere will be a few foreign co-passenger satellites...about 15 to 20 (nano satellites)
Its rather intriguing why another Cartosat-2 series satellite was added later to the plan. Considering that the satellite is named 2ER and not 2F I wonder whether one of the earlier satellites met with an as yet undisclosed failure, or that they felt a need for an additional satellite in the fleet.
"We plan to launch Cartosat-2 series satellite 3 mission, which is a follow-on mission in the Cartosat-2 series with the primary objective of providing high-resolution scene specific spot imagery, in mid-December," the official said.
Where does it say that this satellite is Cartosat-2ER? The article saysQuote"We plan to launch Cartosat-2 series satellite 3 mission, which is a follow-on mission in the Cartosat-2 series with the primary objective of providing high-resolution scene specific spot imagery, in mid-December," the official said.There were three previous Cartosat-2 Series missions (Cartosat 2C, 2D and 2E), so I'm not sure why this one is called Satellite 3.
Where does it say that this satellite is Cartosat-2ER?
Quote from: Steven Pietrobon on 10/12/2017 04:46 amWhere does it say that this satellite is Cartosat-2ER? Steven, please have a look here:http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=1173.msg1718545#msg1718545
"In the next launch, we have a Cartosat along with 28 international commercial satellites, which we will launch in the second half of December," said S. Rakesh, the Chairman and Managing Director of Antrix Corporation Ltd, the commercial arm of state-run Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). There will be 25 nanosatellites and three microsatellites from the US and other countries as co-passengers along the space firm's own satellite of the Cartosat-2 series, he said. The satellites will be launched into the orbit onboard the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), Rakesh added.
Telesat's Erwin Hudson: first LEO satellite launches November 28 on Soyuz. Second satellite scheduled for Dec. 30 (PSLV). Expecting to launch large batches in 2020, completing the constellation in 2021.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After the recent failure of PSLV-C39 on August 31 this year, Isro centres here including VSSC and LPSC are doubly cautious. They are focused on the next mission of PSLV-C40 to launch 31 satellites including Cartosat -2ER by December end this year.Though PSLV-C40 was planned for launch in November end, it is now decided to launch by December end after a series of tests. "Preparations are on for the next mission of PSLV-C40 by next month end to launch 30 satellites at one go including the Cartosat-2ER satellite. It will be a robust launch," Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) director K Sivan had told TOI.
All precautions will be taken to prevent any anomalies, he said. In the previous PSLV launch, there was no design fault. The heat-shield at the top nozzle of the rocket failed to release the satellite into orbit and it could be due to a fault in pyro-techniques, he said.
Normally the heat shield split into two halves at the conical nozzle opens up to release the satellite into the orbit, it failed to open 20 minutes after lift-off, the scientist explained. The heat shield is designed to absorb excessive heat produced by friction against atmosphere during take-off and to protect the components and fuel tanks of the rocket.
"The reason why it failed could be due to some hitch in the pyrotechnic material of the heat shield or probably failure of the springs to trigger the force against atmosphere to open the shield to eject the satellite out. The exact reasons are being ascertained by the 'Failure Analysis Committee of core scientists and the report will be released soon, said a lead scientist at VSSC.While a VSSC scientist said, the failure analysis report is ready but it will be released only within the Isro centres. Based on its findings and recommendations all precautions will be taken to avert any failure, we are doubly cautious. A series of tests will be conducted before the next mission of PSLV-C40 slated for Dec end, he said.

Hub Arkush, longtime editor and publisher of Pro Football Weekly and senior football analyst with WSCR-670 The Score in Chicago, has been hired by Shaw Media to cover the Bears for its daily, weekly and digital publications.
Beginning in mid-July, Arkush will provide daily Bears news and analysis to Shaw Media publications, including the Morris Daily Herald, Crystal Lake-based Northwest Herald, the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb, the Kane County Chronicle and Sauk Valley Media in Sterling and Dixon.
Arkush's work also will be featured in dozens of Shaw Media's weekly publications, including the Suburban Life weeklies in DuPage, Will and suburban Cook counties, and the Lake County Journal.
Shaw Media also will launch HubArkush.com, which will include breaking Bears and NFL news and blogs, video analysis from Arkush and other Shaw reporters, photo slideshows and more.
"We are thrilled to have Hub joining our team," said John Rung, president of Shaw Media. "He is a veteran journalist and one of the nation's most respected pro football experts. We are confident Hub's comprehensive package of content – combined with the football analysis provided by other Shaw reporters – will be of tremendous value to our readers and advertisers."
A veteran NFL analyst, Arkush joined Pro Football Weekly in 1976 and became editor and publisher in 1979. At its peak, Pro Football Weekly was the largest NFL publication in the country with more than 750,000 readers.
Arkush, an award-winning broadcaster, was hired by the Chicago Bears Radio Network in 1987 to be color commentator during Bears game broadcasts, a position he held until 2004. He currently is a senior football analyst on the Score and a sideline reporter and NFL Insider on Dial Global Sports' national radio broadcasts of NFL games. He's also hosted, written and edited several TV shows dedicated to the Bears and the NFL. Pro Football Weekly On TV, which began in 1988 on NBC, is now broadcast by Comcast Sports Net.
"Watching, analyzing, reporting on and writing and talking about pro football has been my passion for over 30 years, and the opportunity to join Shaw Media and focus my work where I've lived my whole life on the team I grew up following is a dream come true," Arkush said. "I am extremely impressed by the brand of journalism practiced by the folks at Shaw, and I couldn't be more excited about this opportunity to join their team."
Mitch Rosen, program director at 670 The Score, praised Shaw for hiring Arkush.
"The name Hub Arkush is synonymous with professional football," Rosen said. "Hub is a brand that transcends knowledge, insight, and opinion when talking about the NFL. When Hub is on the air for a pre-game show, talk show, or segment report, he brings great energy and insight like no one else in the business."

Ring set with amethyst, in white gold
Fine and feminine, this Serpent Bohème ring is now set with amethyst and crowned with gold beads. Its honeycomb update allows light to pass through, providing the gemstones with even more brilliance. This aesthetic –particular to Serpent Bohème– perfectly reveals the craftsmanship and art of the jeweler.More detail
Frédéric Boucheron is born in 1831 into a family of clothiers. He breaks with family tradition at a young age to open his jewelry shop. Having learnt much about delicacy in materials, he begins to make his gold work as supple as the fabrics and lace of his childhood. Success is immediate and soon the whole of Paris is rushing to the door of his Palais Royal boutique. In 1893, he is the first jeweler to open a boutique Place Vendôme, making this place a showcase of savoir-vivre, savoir-faire and French elegance that has no equal in the world. It is Frédéric Boucheron's unique ability to capture the zeitgeist that also leads him to invent new ways of wearing jewelry. His success spreads abroad and the order books start to include the names of members of Royal families and later of Hollywood's biggest stars.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

SAITAMA, Japan – For five minutes, it looked like Brian Stann (12-6 MMA, 6-5 UFC) was having his way with MMA legend Wanderlei Silva (35-12-1 MMA, 5-7 UFC) in the main event of this weekend's UFC on FUEL TV 8 event. Ultimately, Stann believes that may have actually been what led to his defeat.
"I'm obviously heartbroken," Stann told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) after the loss. "It was a good, tough fight, and I abandoned my plan a little bit by getting overaggressive.
"I think the fact that I hurt him early multiple times, it made me get overaggressive, leaving me susceptible to what he's best at, which is throwing a hard, overhand right."
Stann didn't make it out of the first round unscathed, as multiple firefights with Silva left his nose bloodied. But Stann's constant forward movement and powerful punches saw Silva's legs buckle twice in the opening frame as the went toe-to-toe in memorable fashion.
When he resumed his attack in the second, Stann ran into a buzzsaw as Silva rewarded his loyal Japanese fans with a crushing knockout finish, catching Stann with a few powerful hooks before finishing him off on the floor with four more thunderous blows.
The result brought the reported 14,682 fans in Saitama Super Arena to their feet, as Silva delivered once again in front of a country where he fought 28 times between 1999 and 2006.
Following the win, Silva said his next move isn't immediately clear. Meanwhile, Stann plans on a return to middleweight after moving up to 205 pounds for the UFC on FUEL TV 8 headliner. A $50,000 bonus check for taking part in the evening's "Fight of the Night" is probably some comfort to Stann, but he'll likely always remember how close he came to earning a win over an MMA legend. In typical fashion, however, Stann chose to look at the positives rather than consider what might have been.
"I think maybe I tempted fate a little bit by signing to meet Wanderlei in Japan, and it was just his night," Stann said. "My hat's off to him. He's one of the greatest fighters, ever, and I'm proud to be a part of his legacy."

Since I read Penn States' "Best Managment Practices for Small-Scale Biodiesel Productions" publication I've been weary of composting my glycerine on the farm. The manual explained that there is a real potential of contaminating ground water by dumping methanol laden glycerine in the compost in large volumes. Although we have had a lot of organic matter to turn and dilute the glycerine with we noticed an apple tree very near by slowly die. Thought it a result of this.
I am not into soap making and would like to know if there is anyone with information about how to use this "cocktail" of BTU valuable byproduct called 'glycerol' as a useful fuel and in what. I'm especially interested in generating electricity.
Thanks for any help or leads.
This is not the most economical way to attack the problem but have you looked at anerobic digestion ?
Like if you have lots of manure this can be supplemented with raw glycerol (the bugs actually thrive on it) and that would be getting rid of the problem overstock and solving the desired end result of producing electricity via methane powered genset at the same time.
A full on system is not cheap to set up though. One of the farm guy's brother set one up for a couple hundred head and runs his whole farm op on it. He's into it for 600K though (with tax subsidies paying the brunt of course)

Diluted, waste glycerol (with or without methanol), is excellent anaerobic digester substrate (so long as you aren't using sulfur-based catalysts). Digesters can produce electricity or methane, and this method would avoid the potential environmental release issues you mentioned as well.

I do need an economical solution and I'd rather not get the government involved (with grants, etc). Thank you for the suggestions though guys.
I'm in southern California and they don't really need all the heat here from running glycerine in a boiler for example. What we need is electricity. I'd really like to know if people are using glycerine as fuel in something like a low RPM "Lister engine" that can handle used motor oil, SVO, etc and can hook to a generator. We really need an eco-friendly solution for folks producing subtancial amounts a week on the farm. Otherwise we risk contaminating our wells. I'm also on a certified Organic farm and can't really use my glycerine in the compost.
There is another fella I noticed on the forum that asked what to do with his back up of byproduct. It seems that bar soap is the usual suggestion but this requires de-mething, which I currently don't have, and who needs that many bars? Seems like the answer is shipping it out to someone who can use it...but I'd like to use it myself.
My impression is that somehow race cars run on methanol so there must be someway to run a generator (on glycerol) to produce electricity. Maybe I'm dreaming. Got any other leads though? Thanks again in advance.
There is probably lye in the glycerine or if you neutralized it salt neither of which are liked by plants.
If you use KOH and phosphoric acid to neutralize you get fertilizer, if you use NaOH you get sodium salts which only mangroves seem to like.
I'm currently absorbed in the glycerin disposal problem too, and I can't picture myself peddling bars of soap. I also do small-scale organic gardening and have issues disposing of glycerin into the local environment. Glycerin also takes alot of heat to ignite. I might have the possibility of disposing it in a manure lagoon,but I have to be convinced it won't have any negative effects
What needs to be developed is a small scale anaeraobic digester that produces methane from manure and the manure is decomposed with the use of biodiesel glycerine. I know of a large dairy farm that produces its own electricity off its poop and sells the extra KW's to the grid. So the question is this ; 1 KW=?horsepower=?methane =? manure(+glycerine).
to heatbeater and sinbad:
thank you for the posts and sharing your thoughts. I am going to be looking further into this and i agree that a small scale anaerobic digetser would be an interesting experiment.
Once i gather some more info I hope to share it on the forum. If you hear of anything further then please feel free to PM me directly. cheers!
For those that have access to milk farms, we make a small machine that processes the glycerol from biodiesel making.
We recover the methanol, add acetic acid and produce glycerine with sodium acetate, both liquids useful to increase the energy content of the cattle meal.

cmm that's pretty interesting stuff about using glycerine in cattle feed. I used to be a dairy farmer myself . I never thought of using glycerine for dairy cattle , I'm skeptical because I never heard of it. The rumen can do some amazing things,like convert urea to protein ,plus the concepts behind the TMR (total mixed ration) so I"ll have to do some more investigating. Thanks
GoldenIsles I'm not completely sure but I think things like grass clippings and leaves can also be added to manure to release methane gas . This something I'm going to have to checkout.
There have been numerous studies on the use of biodiesel glycerol in cattle feed. It is a viable method. Do a search on glycerine for ruminants;I've posted the links a few times here.

The biodiesel plant I'm working at is selling all it's glycerine for cattle feed. It has some value if you can get the methanol out.
I'm unsure if this burner works, it could solve problems for many of us if it does:
MK Glycerin Burner from AlterHeat
It's listed as a developed-for-glycerin burner that will run on 100% crude glycerin (not sure if this means with or without methanol).

I have been wanting to pursue glyecerine as a dairy supplement since I started making BD a couple years ago. I really want to make it a reality this year. Last year, I messed around with neutralizing some glycerine with sulfuric acid. I did not get separation, but the pH ended up being between 7-8. I also attempted methanol removal by vacuum distillation, but my system kept foaming up and boiling over. Needless to say, I was once again discouraged. If I simply neutralize the glycerine to a reasonable pH is it safe for consumption? Do I need to remove the methanol as well? What is the best way to go about doing this?

Gday Kevin,I am going to try some glycerine on some lambs in troughs.To get rid of the methanol i am aerating with a aquarium bubbler.i am only aerating 40 litres and the lambs will have a self feeder with barley and a round bale of hay near the glycerine.I dont know about the risidual KOH.I am sailing in uncharted waters with feeding sheep and i will post my succes or failure when i have any result.regards westwinds
There is a new generation of safe burners for crude or waste glycerine, with licensed sweeden technology:
-exhaust temperature over 1000 °C
-the exhaust emissions complies EURO III std
-capacity up to 500,000 kCal/h each
-assembled air/water heaters available too.

Expediting the distribution of financial assistance to families who lost loved ones and to those seriously injured in the Boston Marathon bombings is key to plans for the One Fund Boston, an official said at a town hall meeting Monday night.
"If the governor and the mayor have made one thing clear to me, it's get the money out the door," said Kenneth R. Feinberg, the fund's administrator, at the gathering at the Boston Public Library.
Feinberg said the fund contains about $28 million, from more than 50,000 donors, with about $11 million on hand and the rest pledged.
But he warned, "If you had a billion dollars, you could not have enough money to deal with all of the problems that ought to be addressed."
More than 100 people gathered in a lecture hall to learn more about plans for the fund, including a number of parents of injured victims.
Boston Public Health Commissioner Barbara Ferrer attended, and more than a dozen mental health volunteers and case workers from the Red Cross were on hand to assist anyone overcome with emotion. Most of those in attendance, however, remained calm throughout the nearly two-hour forum, even as they raised painful questions.
A woman with weary eyes asked about her daughter, who she said lost one leg in the April 15 bombings and may lose the other.
"Do I understand correctly that if she still has her other leg by [the deadline for claims], she'll be considered a single amputee?" she asked.
In the draft presented Monday, those who suffered double amputations would receive greater sums than those who lost one limb.
Feinberg told the mother that if her daughter's claim includes a doctor's letter saying she is likely to lose the other leg, that would probably be taken into consideration.
Under the protocol for the funds, the greatest compensation would go to those who lost family members or who suffered double amputations or permanent brain damage.
The next highest amounts would go to those who suffered a single amputation, followed by those hospitalized overnight, whose compensation would depend on the length of their hospital stays.
Presenting another dilemma, one man said he had a loved one whose leg was immobile as a result of his injuries.
"It's not amputated, but he has no use of it," he said. "Is that another doctor's note put into our . . . application?"
'Let's get the money out the door.'
"Yes," Feinberg said. "If you've got . . . a claimant that was hospitalized that has permanent paralysis, that is a life-altering injury."
Feinberg said it was too early to assign dollar amounts to injuries because donations are still coming in, there is not yet a comprehensive list of the injured, and eligibility requirements are still being determined.
Estimates of the injured range as high as 264, according to the Boston Public Health Commission.
Those who went to hospitals but did not stay overnight could be considered eligible, Feinberg said, as could those who suffered mental trauma, lost income, or other damages.
Feinberg cautioned, though, that given the limited funds, the priority would be to compensate those who suffered the greatest losses.
He said the fund would probably not consider the financial situations of the injured.
"No, we can't get into that," he said. "It will slow things down, make it too subjective."
If family members place competing claims for a lost loved one, Feinberg said, those claims may have to be resolved in probate court.
"I'm not a family referee," he said. "We're not going to resolve those disputes. They happen all the time, and they slow down the process."
Feinberg said he plans to have the claim form finalized by May 15 and then to accept claims for one month.
He said paperwork will be kept to a minimum, but to prevent fraud, claimants must prove the extent and cause of injuries and the length of hospital stays.
The absolute deadline for submitting claim forms is June 15, he said. After that, his staff at the fund would review claims and then issue checks on June 30.
Liz Norden, a mother of five whose two oldest sons were both badly injured in the blasts, said after the meeting that she was satisfied the process would be fair, but she still is trying to understand how it will work.
"I'm still learning," Norden said, adding that one son is still in the hospital and the other is in a rehabilitation facility. "I really am just focused on care of my sons. . . .

This will then be followed with a rebuttal from someone who is a standup citizen when they are sitting on their bike, claiming that they stop at all stop signs, and that they hate the other N-1 cyclists who do not stop at stop signs. And that if only all cyclists obeyed these laws, then non-cyclists (a.k.a. drivers, or "cars") would respect the cyclists and cyclists would get more bike lanes.
This is, of course, a bunch of junk. History is littered with examples of populations that got short shrift and were told that if only they behaved, they'd be treated better. Don't believe it for a second.
Humans are inherently selfish, it appears, as well as short sighted. It doesn't matter how well cyclists behave, they won't get overwhelming support for bike infrastructure unless they specifically pay every penny for it without any subsidy from non-cyclists. Those non-cyclists of course, aren't asking for subsidy at all!
To make my point clear, let's reference another example that is tangentially related. The Golden Gate Bridge is considering raising their toll from the current $6 to $8. The toll for the bridge pays for maintainance of the bridge as well as subsidizing the fares of people who ride the ferries and buses operated by the Golden Gate Bridge District.
Unlike the hordes of stop sign running cyclists, whom are observed by the aggrieved gas-tax paying motorists as being scofflaws who hate civil society, bus and ferry riders are a genial lot, slogging their way onto shared transportation and pretty much not getting in anyone's way. It's nominally clear to almost anyone that the riders of the buses and ferries are reducing traffic by their choice to not drive over the bridge, so generally this group should be viewed as one that has a positive behavioral profile. Except for the fact that they are leeching off the toll paying public for their party-extravaganza on the crowded buses and ferries, of course!
I've ridden those buses and seen US-101 in Marin at rush hour. Without the people on transit, it would be a disaster. And the Bridge District, who runs these things, knows it.
"We're famous for the bridge," he said. "But in reality, we're really operating a regional transportation service."
The district's 2003 mission statement calls for it to provide transportation services within the Highway 101 corridor. Its buses and shuttles, officials say, take about 25 percent of the vehicle traffic off of the bridge.
"If you think traffic is untenable now, imagine it with 25 percent more cars," Mulligan said.
But don't tell that to the suffering motorist paying for the party
But many commuters don't think it's right that their bridge tolls should be helping to pay for someone else's bus or ferry ride.It is often noted that there are ancillary benefits to cycling usage - lower traffic, reduced competition for parking, reduced wear and tear on roads, reduced pollution. But these can be murky to someone not adept at looking at the big picture. But for the roadways from San Rafael to the bridge, there is no question that the fleets of buses and ferries are making the driving commute possible. Doesn't matter. No matter how much benefit the driver recoups out of their tolls via providing an incentive for others to take the ferry, the fact they are putting a penny into a ferry service that they don't directly use is "unfair".
"For people who don't ever use the buses or ferries, it seems a little ridiculous," said Simon Myatt, a 23-year-old Santa Rosa resident who crosses the bridge at least twice a week. "I know that, as a community, we need to stick together, but it's not exactly fair."
Same goes for bikes. So spare me the argument that some crackhead riding the wrong way down Market Street is the reason you don't get a bike lane.

Dressed in official Navy whites, LT j.g. Adrienne Townsend was overwhelmed with emotion as she accepted the Oath of Office and was officially sworn in as the first Seventh-day Adventist woman to serve as an active duty chaplain in the United States Navy. Townsend, an associate dean of women at Lamson Hall until May 2008, was surrounded by loved ones and colleagues at her Commissioning Service on Thursday, July 24, at the Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary chapel.
Townsend has become a well-known and beloved face on campus since she joined the Andrews University staff in July 2004 as a dean of women for Lamson Hall. Service as a military chaplain has been a dream of Townsend's for quite some time and she has spent years in preparation. "The military is a huge mission field with the same aged people as those I have been working with here at Andrews University. I feel God has laid the foundation for me here to go out into the military and reach those who need to hear about Christ," she says.
ENS Zachary Juniper, associate dean of men for Andrews University, gave a welcome and read comments from Chaplain (Colonel) Gary R. Councell, U.S. Army Retired
Director for Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries, who was unable to attend the ceremony. "The insignia on Chaplain Townsend's uniform represents two kinds of relationships: the rank on her collar conveys authority as an officer in our country's armed forces while the crosses declare her spiritual purpose," read ENS Juniper.
Lt. Christopher Carmichael, a Navy representative from the Navy Officer Recruiting Station in East Lansing, Mich., presented Townsend with her Presidential Appointment signed by President George W. Bush. "We know everyone here today is sad to say good-bye to LT j.g. Townsend but the U.S. Navy is standing by to welcome her with open arms," said Lt. Carmichael.
The Oath of Office was delivered by Chaplain James North, Seminary chaplain, followed by a Charge and Welcome to Chaplaincy. "I am delighted," said Chaplain North, "to preside over a ceremony that is at once both secular and religious in nature."
In a show of support, voices joined together in song for the Navy Hymn. Clifford Jones, associate dean and professor in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, offered a benediction followed by a closing song by Journey, a multi-national singing ensemble from Andrews University.
Tanya Bindernagel was also recognized as the first women to be endorsed for ministry as a chaplain in the United States Army by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Bindernagel was unable to assume active duty due to family commitments.
Townsend will begin Officer Development School in Rhode Island at the beginning of September. She will be in training there until the end of November, at which time she will receive her assignment and ship out for duty.

Maybe, ICANN is accepting the launch of new gTLDs on June 20 during the Singapore meeting. In San Francisco, the board resolved:
Whereas, the Board and Governmental Advisory Committee held a successful intersessional meeting in Brussels with the intention to identify areas of difference between the proposed implementation and the GAC's advice, and, where possible, reach agreement on those issues.
Whereas, the Board and GAC have conducted in-depth discussions during the San Francisco meeting to continue the good-faith effort to reach mutually acceptable solutions on the issues identified by the GAC in its Scorecard.
Whereas, the Board has reviewed and considered the comments made by constituency groups, stakeholder groups, and individuals in the broader community during the San Francisco meeting.
Whereas, ICANN Bylaws Article XI, Section 2.1j provides that "The advice of the Governmental Advisory Committee on public policy matters shall be duly taken into account, both in the formulation and adoption of policies. In the event that the ICANN Board determines to take an action that is not consistent with the Governmental Advisory Committee advice, it shall so inform the Committee and state the reasons why it decided not to follow that advice. The Governmental Advisory Committee and the ICANN Board will then try, in good faith and in a timely and efficient manner, to find a mutually acceptable solution."
Whereas, in its efforts to implement the Bylaws-mandated process, ICANN (i) developed preliminary briefing papers on each of the GAC topics identified in the GAC Communiqué from Cartagena; (ii) conducted informal calls between ICANN and GAC subject matter experts; (iii) participated in a nearly-three day meeting in Brussels with the GAC; (iv) reviewed the GAC scorecard and provided comprehensive Board notes on the scorecard.
Whereas, these inputs have been duly considered by the Board.
Resolved (2011.03.18.14), the Board thanks the GAC for the many hours of intense work preparing for and conducting the recent Board-GAC exchanges, and thanks for the community for its continuing support and cooperation.
Resolved (2011.03.18.15), the Board adopts a working timeline for completion of the Applicant Guidebook and launch of the New gTLD process as posted at http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/draft-timeline-new-gtlds-18mar11-en.pdf [PDF, 117 KB].
Resolved (2011.03.18.16), as set forth in the timetable, ICANN will target 15 April 2011 as the date for publication of a final response to the GAC Scorecard, along with Applicant Guidebook extracts showing changes.
Resolved (2011.03.18.17), the Board intends to complete the process set forth in the timeline in time for final approval of the New gTLD implementation program at an extraordinary meeting of the ICANN Board to be held on Monday, 20 June 2011, at the ICANN meetings in Singapore. (Note: the Board also intends to hold its usual meeting on Friday morning, 24 June 2011, to conclude the mid-year meeting.)
Rationale for Resolutions 2011.03.18.14 – 2011.03.18.17
The rationale discussed during the Board meeting will be posted in draft form with the Preliminary Report of this meeting, and will be posted as approved by the Board with minutes of this meeting.

DuPont Pioneer Introduces Inoculant Value Calculator
Livestock producers can get "hands-on" look at how inoculants can make a difference
DES MOINES, Iowa, August 1, 2012 – Livestock producers will now be able to calculate the overall value of forage inoculants through a new, easy-to-use online tool from DuPont Pioneer. The Pioneer Inoculant Value Calculator, available on www.pioneer.com/ivc, is a calculator/product selection tool that helps producers gain a "hands-on" look at how inoculants can make a difference in their operations.
"By inserting information from their forage production and feeding program, producers will be able to evaluate how an inoculant can help their dairy or beef operation," says Kyle Whitaker, DuPont Pioneer senior sales & marketing manager, global forages. "Producers can see the value in terms of return on investment and savings per cow per day."
The calculator asks participants to provide ten answers to questions on the crop, storage system, feeding rates, market prices of corn and soybeans, etc., to show the economic returns of various inoculants options. In return, it provides three main "values" of an inoculant choice: 1) value from reduced shrink (dry matter recovery or preservation on the front end), 2) value of improved bunklife (aerobic stability on the back end) and 3) value of reduced feed input (feed cost savings).
The program is a web-based platform accessible by PC, laptop, iPad or smartphone. Making use of 27 years of inoculants research from Pioneer, the calculator integrates input from nearly 150 on-farm trials conducted by forage researchers. Users can evaluate two or three product options to determine which offers the greatest return on investment.
Livestock operation managers can use the tool on their own or work with Pioneer sales professionals to help determine their options.
For more information on the Pioneer Inoculant Value Calculator, visit www.pioneer.com/ivc or contact your local Pioneer sales professional.
