Gregory Rusovich recently resigned from his post as president and chief executive at Agility Project Logistics. The project forwarding division of the massive, Kuwait-based transportation company Agility Logistics, was founded as Transoceanic Shipping Co. by Rusovich's father in 1947. Rusovich sold Transoceanic in the spring of 2005 to PWC Logistics, a group of Kuwaiti businessmen who last year changed the PWC company name to Agility Logistics and the Transoceanic name to Agility Project Logistics. Rusovich stayed on as head of the projects logistics division, but found himself torn between his business responsibilities in Houston and his desire to help his hurricane-tattered hometown of New Orleans in its slow and painful rebuilding. While he will remain with Agility until the end of the year on a consulting basis, Rusovich has turned over the company reins to Thomas J. Griffin, an industry veteran and 10-year executive at Transoceanic. The following conversation with Senior Editor Janet Plume reveals some of Rusovich's thoughts on the state of the industry in which he was raised.
Q. How has the project-cargo industry changed in the past 20 years?
A. Project cargo is a cyclical business, so it has to be viewed in that light. The 1980s was the bust period, and now we are in a boom period. I think this current surge will continue for several years. Project cargo swings are tied to economic market factors such as the price of oil. When oil is up and the global economy is prospering, the project-cargo sector does well because these conditions create opportunities for investment in the infrastructure. I expect a lot of dollars to be spent on energy project development for many years to come. Our industry was doing well until 9/11, which set us back. Investors were skittish for several years after. Now that skittishness is gone amid growing oil demand. But being part of this upward cycle isn't a guarantee of success. You have to have the stomach and the nerves to survive. Today's project forwarders deal with billion-dollar investments that run off high client demand and tight time constraints with little margin for error.
Q. What will be the biggest challenges in coming years?
A. There are many big challenges ahead. One of the most serious is the supply-demand imbalance, which is forcing rates to spike. When a project is financed, the freight component becomes part of the bottom-line number. But the cargo may not move until after financing is complete a year or two later, and freight rates are going to have changed by then. This is exacerbated by the limited supply of project carriers. The project-cargo sector is growing too rapidly and the supply cannot keep up with it. There continues to be tremendous pressure on freight rates. The supply chain doesn't work if any of its links are unprofitable. When one link doesn't work, you have breakdowns in the supply chain. These are serious issues that connect back to shipper budgets. Shippers are now reaching a point where they are having trouble finding ships to carry cargo. The second-biggest challenge is the labor challenge. There is an industrywide shortage of capable personnel. There are experienced people who have been around a long time, but there is not enough of the next generation coming up. There must be a focus on training and mentoring and teaching. Project cargo is too specialized to be handled by managers of general freight.
Q. What do you see for the future of the project freight forwarding industry? Are we going to end up with two or three big companies?
A. There will always be the smaller independent specialists. There will always be a spot for companies that can perform. The issue is that financial companies have financial backing. Contracts between shippers and forwarders today involve performance bonds. When cargo is not at the destination on time, bonds must be submitted to guarantee that. The challenge for smaller project forwarders is to ensure they have the financial wherewithal to service their clients' contractual requirements. A $15 million performance bond is not unusual these days. Smaller forwarders that can get the right financing will survive. There is a downside to this consolidation trend. When you start taking away the small-company specialization and treat it as a generic part of the supply chain, then the industry overall will suffer.
Q. What will happen to project cargo without any vessel capacity?
A. I can't answer that. I don't see the financials or the balance sheets of the carriers. We have seen this coming for the past four years. Rates are being driven up, and the service is just not there. Forwarders are trying to move cargo; they are ready to pay premiums for ships, but cannot find the ships. EPCs (engineering procurement contractors) are having to rely on the spot market because fabricators are all backed up, and it's hard to place an order a year in advance and book a ship for a specific date. When the fabricator has had a delay and the cargo isn't ready for the scheduled shipping date, then the carrier starts assessing dead freight.
Q. What other changes do you see happening in the industry?
A. One change is local procurement for project cargo. If there is an infrastructure project in China, at least 50 percent of that equipment will be purchased from Chinese sources. A Saudi project will see about 25 percent of content from local sources. Procurement is taking place close to the project destination, creating less reliance on ocean and airfreight. As confidence continues to erode in the ocean cargo sector, you will see more procurement locally. That impacts the forwarder by making it imperative that he have a global reach. You have to handle the truckloads from Saudi to the site. That doesn't mean smaller independent forwarders have to have 50 offices around the world. They just need to have offices at some of the major points to enable them to have some global reach.
Q. How is technology changing the project forwarding industry?
A. There has been much sophistication in documentation and tracking. This once totally paper-driven industry now is totally paperless; it uses EDI and tracking technology such as bar coding. There will continue to be dramatic changes as the technology evolves that is totally unique to the project-cargo industry. Because of this technology, project cargo now has a transparent supply chain, and the result of that is a better ability to plan for clients and a better ability to execute for forwarders. It has made the industry more efficient and will continue to do so.
Q. Your focus is now geared toward helping New Orleans recover. What do you think the future holds for this beleaguered city?
A. The recovery of New Orleans is proceeding slower than we would like. There is a common contingent of grassroots citizenry who want to see it go faster. These groups must work with the political leadership. Many New Orleans' institutions are badly broken, but they are fixable. Being part of these citizens' groups and working with the city council, the mayor's office, the education system, the infrastructure system, I can help implement and bring change where it is needed. I plan to spend my time with these groups revising strategies on recovery needs, making them happen, getting more money from the government. We are identifying what we need in our criminal justice system and working with Congress to ensure those funds are committed.
Q. What are your political ambitions?

Without limitation, parties purchasing from B&H are solely responsible for determining applicable export licensing requirements and for obtaining any licenses or other authorizations from the appropriate agencies of the U.S. Government that are necessary for exporting the item, such as the U.S. Department of Commerce or the U.S. Department of State.
At the center of this bundle is the Phantom 2 Quadcopter, a four-rotor remote control helicopter designed to act as an aerial platform for a GoPro HERO action camera. It features self-tightening propellers, a slot-in battery with LED indicators visible during flight, and includes a 2.4 GHz hand-held radio controller (transmitter) that is pre-bound to the aircraft and has a range of up to 3,280' line-of-sight, depending on conditions. A spare 5200 mAh flight battery is included as part of the bundle, and flying time for each battery is estimated to run up to 22 minutes. In addition to the included AC charger, there is a car charger available separately so you can always keep a battery charging in the field.
To mount the GoPro, the Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal is included. Improving over the previous H3-2D model, it features a 3-axis brushless gimbal that not only supports tilting and canting, like the H3-2D, but panning as well. Not only will it keep your aerial video's horizon level and isolated from vibration, the gimbal can also be used to remotely operate there camera, allowing you to adjust the camera angle with ±0.08° accuracy in-flight. The gimbal is exclusively for the GoPro HERO3, HERO3+, and included HERO4.
The GoPro HERO4 Silver is included so you can actually capture aerial footage whether for recording, as an "eye-in-the-sky" to get the FPV (first person view) experience, or both. The Silver Edition features Full HD (1080p) video capture up to 60 fps, 2.7K video at 30 fps, 4K at 15 fps, and can also take up to 12MP still photos. Internally, it records video and photos to a microSD memory card up to 64GB in capacity, and there is 32GB card included as part of the bundle. Although the HERO4 Silver has built-in Wi-Fi, it is very important this feature is turned OFF while it is mounted on the Phantom 2. Otherwise the Wi-Fi can potentially interfere with the quadcopter's internal receiver causing the controls to become unresponsive.
To give you the first-person view (FPV) experience, the AVL58 5.8 GHz Video Link Kit and a 7" LCD field monitor with built-in 5.8 GHz receiver are included. The monitor can receive signals at distances up to 1.2 miles line-of-sight--depending on conditions and the transmitter used. Unlike other monitors--which use digital processing--the screen won't go blue or black when the signal gets weak; you'll still see a little "snow" and be able to see parts of your image rather than a complete loss. It can power from either Sony L-series or Canon LP-E6 type batteries. A NP-F550 type battery and a compact wall charger are included in the bundle.
The iOSD module takes heading, altitude, GPS coordinate, horizontal and vertical speed, and other data from the Phantom 2's flight computer and superimposes it over the image sent back to the video receiver at the ground end. Not only will be you be able to see what your GoPro sees, but also know exactly how the Phantom 2 is flying.
Note: This kit is pre-modified by B&H specialists before shipping to ensure proper and synchronized operation. These alterations may include, but are not limited to, soldering, resoldering, updating software and more. Also note, some of the accessories in this bundle may include parts not required for this particular installation. These parts have been left in the box as they could be useful if you ever decide to re-purpose any of the hardware for future applications.
Warning: Never use the DJI Phantom 2 Quadcopter with your GoPro camera when both devices have their Wi-Fi systems turned on. The DJI Phantom 2's radio controller and the GoPro HERO4's Wi-Fi run on the same frequency, so if you use them together when both Wi-Fi systems are engaged, the DJI Phantom's transmitter will lose the ability to communicate with the DJI Phantom Quadcopter. Whenever this happens, you will not be able to tell the Phantom where to fly. This may result in loss of property or damage to your equipment.

Dow closes below 13,000 for first time since August
Now this might have been reported elsewhere but thought it deserved its own thread and since I do not see it on the first full page of WRP posts. here it is..

Dow closes below 13,000 for first time since August
Stocks took a sharp nosedive in a post-election selloff Wednesday, with the Dow logging its biggest decline in nearly a year, prompted by concerns over the looming "fiscal cliff" and amid renewed worries over Europe's weak economy.
The Dow closed below 13,000 for the first time since early August, while the S&P 500 finished below 1,400. (Read More: Top Post-Election Market Declines)
Its now how quickly we can focus on the fiscal cliff and coming up with a resolutionthat's certainly the next item on the agenda for the market, said Art Hogan, managing director of Lazard Capital Markets. "And you still have Europe."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down more than 300 points in its biggest one-day drop in almost a year, dragged heavily by Bank of America and JPMorgan.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also finished sharply lower. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, jumped near 19.
All key S&P sectors ended firmly in the red, led by energy and financials.
Apple fell more than 3 percent, pushing the tech giant down a jaw-dropping 20 percent from its all-time high of $705.07 in mid-September. The stock is now trading in bear market territory.
Obama was re-elected president Tuesday night, put over the top by the crucial battleground state of Ohio following the most expensive election in U.S. history.
Meanwhile, ratings agency Fitch said Obama needs to move quickly to avoid the "fiscal cliff," adding that failure to address the issue would likely result in a downgrade in 2013. Moody's said it would make a decision following the budget negotiations, though going over the "fiscal cliff" would not immediately trigger a downgrade.
Wall Street had favored Romney and the Republican ticket in part because it preferred their approach of retaining tax cuts, and making spending cuts. The Obama Administration favors raising taxes on the richest Americans, and also increasing capital gains and dividend taxes. (Read More: Fixing 'Fiscal Cliff' Will Mean 'High, Higher' Taxes)

The State of Aging and Health in America 2013 just released its annual report today. The collaborative report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lists a report card in one section that measures how U.S. residents 65 and older are doing.in terms of "Healthy People 2020" targets.
United States seniors met or exceeded six of the "Healthy People 2020" targets. But fell short on several others, including not getting their flu shots.
U.S. seniors did well on getting more exercise, cutting obesity rates, quitting smoking and taking meds for high blood pressure and for getting mammograms and colorectal screenings.
But they didn't get enough flu protection. The goal of Healthy People 2000 is for 90 percent of folks 65 and older to get flu shots but only 66.9 percent do. Seniors are also short on pneumonia vaccines (68.1 percent of seniors got them, but the goal is 90 percent.)

What causes abdominal swelling? 67 possible conditions
Viewing 1 - 20 of 67 results
What Is a Swollen Abdomen?
A swollen abdomen occurs when your stomach area is larger than normal. This is sometimes called a distended abdomen or swollen belly. A swollen abdomen has a number of potential causes, and it is a common occurrence.
When To Call Your Doctor
It's unlikely that your swollen abdomen is the result of any serious illness, but there are a few things you should look out for. Call your doctor if your abdomen is getting bigger or you have other symptoms that accompany the swelling, such as fever or nausea. Seek medical care if you have extreme diarrhea or blood in your stool. If you find that you're unable to eat or drink for more than eight hours, tell your doctor.
Potential Causes of Abdominal Swelling
Your abdomen could be swollen for a number of different reasons, ranging from eating too much to pregnancy. Only your doctor will be able to determine the exact cause of your swollen abdomen.
Most Common Causes
Some of the most common causes of abdominal swelling include overeating and gas. Swallowing air as part of a nervous habit or eating foods that are high in fiber can lead to gas production. If this gas isn't released, it can lead to abdominal swelling. There are a few medical conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome and lactose intolerance, that commonly cause abdominal swelling as well.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder that causes cramping and pain in your stomach, among other symptoms. IBS can also cause bloating and gas, which could cause you to have a distended abdomen. According to the National Institutes of Health, about one in every six Americans has symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Lactose Intolerance
Lactose intolerance is a condition that occurs when your body is unable to digest lactose, a sugar that is found in dairy products. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include abdominal bloating and gas, which can cause your abdomen to swell. If you experience a swollen abdomen within two hours of ingesting dairy, you might be lactose intolerant. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, lactose intolerance is fairly uncommon in those of European descent. If you are of Asian, African, or Native American descent, your chances of being lactose intolerant are higher (NCBI, 2012).
Ascites is a condition that occurs when fluid builds up inside your abdomen. This build up is usually caused by problems with your liver, such as cirrhosis. Cirrhosis occurs when your liver becomes extremely scarred. When ascites first develops, you probably won't notice any symptoms. As the fluid accumulates over time, you'll start to notice your abdomen becoming more and more swollen. Ascites can cause you discomfort.
Less Common Causes
Your swollen abdomen could be caused by a number of other, less common symptoms. These include:
- gallstones
- pancreatitis
- a blockage in your intestine
- an ovarian cyst
- weight gain
Treating Your Swollen Abdomen at Home
Depending upon the cause of your swollen abdomen, you might be able to treat your symptoms easily at home. If your abdomen is swollen because you eat too much, simply waiting for your food to digest could solve your problem. Eating smaller meals can help prevent this problem in the future. Also, consider eating more slowly to give your food time to be processed by your stomach.
If your abdomen is swollen because of gas, try avoiding foods that are known to cause gas, such as beans and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. Avoid drinking carbonated drinks and drinking out of a straw. Eating slowly can also help prevent you from swallowing air, which leads to gas.
Avoiding dairy products can help relieve abdominal swelling caused by lactose intolerance. In the case of IBS, decreasing your stress levels and raising your fiber intake have been shown to help relieve symptoms. If you have ascites, bed rest and reducing your sodium intake can help your body get rid of the excess fluid.
Medical Treatment
If rest and lowering the amount of sodium in your diet don't work to relieve symptoms, your doctor might suggest using diuretics. Diuretics will help your kidneys remove more of the distention-causing fluid. In rare cases, an infection can develop in your ascitic fluid. If this happens, you'll need to undergo rigorous treatment with antibiotics.
When it comes to IBS and lactose intolerance, there is not much medical treatment available to relieve your swollen abdomen.

Heating oil fell as Brent prices declined after flows increased on a North Sea pipeline that had been shut for five days.

Small Gary rally supports victim in Ferguson, Missouri, shooting

GARY — Heavy rain did not keep Pastor Curtis Whittaker of Progressive Community Church in Gary from hosting a "Gary in Solidarity With Ferguson" rally Thursday evening.
Originally scheduled to take place outside at 13th and Broadway, it was moved inside at the small church.
And while the crowd was small, the message was loud and clear as Whittaker shouted, "Hands up!" and the audience, with raised hands responded, "Don't shoot!"
Whittaker and community activist Natalie Ammons coordinated the rally to show solidarity with those protesting the Aug. 9 shooting death of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, by a police officer. Brown was unarmed.
"We want to show Ferguson that we are with them and they are not alone," Whittaker said.
The rally followed a chance opportunity for Whittaker and some family members to go to Ferguson Aug. 16.
"We were in St. Louis for my grandmother's 90th birthday, and Ferguson is five minutes away so this was the chance to join the citizens of Ferguson in a peaceful protest," he said.
And it was a peaceful one, according to Whittaker.
"People were marching and shouting, 'No justice, no peace' and 'Hands up! Don't shoot!' and we met a 17-year-old named Quan who grew up in Ferguson and was very frustrated and angry. I asked if we could pray for him and we did," the pastor said.
Whittaker said the atmosphere later changed suddenly as a group of ministers had gathered to pray.
"That's when a busload of police officers in full riot gear pulled up and jumped out of the bus," Whittaker said, and people started running away, screaming, 'they are going to get us!'"
Whittaker's nephew, Matthew Edmonds, 21, of Gary, echoed his uncle's description of the Aug. 16 demonstration.
"It was very peaceful. ... It was awesome to be in that crowd with all races showing support for Mike Brown," he said. "You felt the love, but sadly it was for an horrible incident. I wish that type of support was around all the time."
Edmonds said he would go back to Ferguson to show his support.
Ruthie Wilson, of Merrillville, said her son, Jonathon Wilson, 24, is returning Friday to Ferguson for a second time to show his support for Brown's family.
"He told me he had been tear-gassed the first time he went, which was last week. And he wanted me to know that all of the stores were not looted, just the ones targeted for showing prejudices against blacks," Wilson said. "My son also said he could see the anger from the young black men, that they are angry and vengeful from what has happened."
Todd Benkert, of Harvest Baptist Fellowship Church in Merrillville, said as a white man and church leader he noticed the differences in reactions to Brown's death through his Facebook page. When the news broke, his black friends posted about Brown but his white friends posted about the death of Robin Williams and the race car driver's death, he said.
"It was five days later when my white friends began posting about Brown and Ferguson on their pages," Benkert said. "Many of my white friends had a common reaction which was, 'wait for the facts.' ... I have a teenage son, and I don't have to worry about giving him 'the talk' about what to do when the police stop you. Our experiences are not like the black experience.
"We have to show public unity. I don't want history to repeat itself where we get together, talk and then walk off happy like all is OK when it is not. We have to be of one accord," he said.
The Rev. John Jackson, of Trinity United Church of Christ in Gary, who is black and a former Chicago police officer, said he experienced firsthand racial profiling by Chicago police.
"When I was not in uniform and driving my squad car, the police pulled up behind me, but when I showed my badge they let me go," Jackson said. "I will say this, unless we have a real conversation about race and come together to make changes, we will continue to have Ferguson incidents. Gary and Chicago are a step away from becoming Ferguson."

Eight out of every hundred people working in Tata Steel Europe�s long products facility will lose their jobs soon as a recovering Europe does not offer any respite to the company�s business.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the company said it was looking at restructuring its long products business in the United Kingdom, which would include downsizing almost 500 people from the management and administrative functions. This will mainly include people working in its Scunthorpe facility and its Teeside and Workington sites.
�About 340 positions could be affected in Scunthorpe, 90 in Workington and 40 in Teeside,� said a company note.
Reliable sources say the company currently runs 3.2 million tonne of long products facility at Scunthorpe and employs about 6,250 people across its entire long products business, primarily spread around the three sites.
Since January 2007, the Scunthorpe facility has seen its output come down from 4.2 million tonne to 3.2 million tonne, a drop of 31% due to tepid market conditions in Europe.
The proposals (to restructure) come amid a prolonged downturn in demand for some of the key products made by the Scunthorpe-based business, including the UK market for construction steel, which is about half of 2007 levels, said the company note.
Karl Koehler, CEO of Tata Steel�s European operations, said: �European steel demand this year is expected to be only two-thirds of pre-crisis levels after falls in the past two years. On top of the challenging economic conditions, rules covering energy and the environment in Europe and the UK threaten to impose huge additional costs on the steel industry.�

I-40/440 Rebuild Officially Underway
Some eastbound lanes on portions of I-440 near the I-40/440 split will now be shut down at night.
It's part of 3-year rebuild project that will replace an 11-and-a-half mile stretch of freeway in southern Wake County. Daytime lane closures won't begin until mid December.
The DOT's Cris Mulder says 100,000 vehicles use this part of the highway every day and safety is the biggest concern.
"This is 30-year old concrete and pavement," Mulder says.
"This is about taking what's underneath, crumbling from the chemical reaction from what was used in the development and construction back in the day."
NC DOT will spend another $12 million to identify additional bus routes and park-and-ride options that could ease congestion. The project called "Fortify" should be completed by late 2016.

Year After Year, 3 + 3 Still The Key To Benefits Education
Equally important as offering employees the right amount of resources is giving them three weeks or more to review their benefits choices and information before making a decision.
Those who had three or more weeks to review benefits materials prior to the close of enrollment were significantly more likely to rate their benefits and their benefits education as excellent or very good, compared to those with less than three weeks to enroll.
The research shows that 96 percent of employees who had three-plus weeks to review their benefits education materials said it was enough time—but only 48 percent of respondents were given that much time.
An effective benefits education strategy can enhance employees' appreciation of their benefits, the research shows. Eighty-one percent of employees with an excellent/very good benefits education rated their employee benefits package as excellent or very good. Conversely, only 27 percent of employees who rated their benefits education as fair/poor said their employee benefits package was excellent or very good.About Unum Unum ( www.unum.com) is one of the leading providers of employee benefits products and services in the United States and the United Kingdom. Through its subsidiaries, Unum Group paid approximately $6 billion in total benefits to customers in 2011. Harris Interactive Survey Methodology The 2011 survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of Unum from December 16-20, 2011 among a total of 3,339 adults 18 and older, 1,820 of whom are employed full- or part-time and 1,147 of whom were asked to review their employee benefits in the past year. The 2008 survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of Unum from December 9-11, 2008 among a total of 2,137 adults 18 and older, 1,122 of whom are employed full- or part-time and 659 of whom were asked to review their employee benefits in the past year.

Advanced Stats: Analyzing Del Zott's VUKOTA projection
Glen Miller
In our previous post we introduced ESPN.com's Summer Skate preview of the 2012-2013 New York Rangers. Using Hockey Prospectus' VUKOTA projection system, Timo Seppa discusses how VUKOTA projects the 2012-2013 season for one player whose performance is predicted to be on the rise and one expected to decline. Marc Staal is destined to rebound from an injury-plagued campaign and post an improved GVT according to VUKOTA. On the flip side, VUKOTA predicts Michael Del Zotto to fail to perform up to last year's standard. Let's review the case against a repeat performance from Del Zotto.
Last season Del Zotto began to put it all together after an up-and-down start to his brief career. The talented former first-round draft choice in 2008 broke into the league with a bang in 2009-2010 recording 37 points in 80 games as a 19 year-old rookie and posting a very solid GVT rating of 6.4. A vast majority of that GVT came courtesy of his offense where he was a 6.0 GVT.

Frist - see my blog on just how it Writes to tape.
Now with that understanding your question about jobs wanting a tape drive.
You have different options on how to set up the use of your tape drives.
When you setup a Storage Unit, you tell it how many tape drives to use at once.
For example we are going to say 2 drives.
You also say how many Streams can go to the tape drive at once.
For example we are going to say 10 streams.
So far we have 2 tape drives with 10 streams per drive - so right now we can have 20 active jobs at once.
10 jobs streaming to driveA and 10 jobs streaming to driveB
Now a job streaming to driveA completes. A job that is queued will now go active and stream to driveA so it has 10 streams again.
However - you could be restricting this someplace else as well.
Look at the Policy you can limit the number of jobs a Policy can run at once.
If your policy says 5, and is using your Storage group with 2 drives - even though the storage group will allow 20 jobs to run, you Policy limits you to 5.
So now you are using 1 drive with 5 streams going to the drive. (even thought the storage unit will allow you 15 more jobs if you wanted)
But let us say your policy has no limit set.......
Lets Look at the Schedule - here you say Media Multiplexing is set to 4.
So your storage unit would all 20 jobs
you are saying that any tape drive in use by this policy/schedule is only allowed to send 4 streams to a tape drive at once.
So now you are using 1 drive with 4 streams going to the drive.
However this can still be limited more some place else.
Lets look at the properties of the Master Server.
A) Under Global Attributes you have "Maximum jobs per client" and you have it set to 6.
B) your storage unit is set to 2 drives 10 jobs each for a total of 20 jobs.
C) You have no limit on your policy, and your schedule also says 20 jobs.
D) You have 5 clients in your policy, and each client will kick off 6 jobs for a total of 30 for jobs/streams that need to run.
client 1 will have 6 jobs go active (see A).
client 2 will have 6 jobs go active (see A).
client 3 will have 6 jobs go active (see A).
client 4 will have 2 jobs go active (see B & C)
client 5 will have all jobs queued (see A & B & C)
So that takes us to 20 jobs running. As a job stream finishes, client 4 will have another job go Active.
If at any point client 4 gets 6 jobs active at the same time but you have less then 20 jobs running, client 5 will then have a job go active.
This "maximum jobs per client" is a way to spread the load. If you have a server that might kick off 20 streams, you don't want all 20 running at once as it might bring the server to its knees. So instead of have 1 server beating itself to death and all the other servers waiting, you can have a bunch of servers doing a bit of work and none of them overloaded.
But, there is still one more place you can limit this.
Say by default you do want each server to run 6 streams at once, but you have 1 very very small client, and 6 streams at once on this server would just kill it. You can have the properties set to 6 for Global (see A) but you can limit this one server to just 1 stream at a time.
Again go to the properties of the master server, and look at Client Attributes.
Here you would add the name of your slow client and on the General tab, check Max data streams and set it to 1.
So all other clients would have a max of 6 streams running, and this small client would only run 1 stream at a time.

only good thing about trade is that it means Gomez will be gone by next season. they cannot keep both contracts. i imagine Weber will be moved soon. maybe Edmonton or New Jersey? Ryan Jones or David Clarkson would be nice.

It would be cool to see those Battlesaurs dudes in the more 6"ish scale that they used to do Toy Story figures in (like Twitch!). I'm pretty bummed that they did these in 4".

Yeah. I always wished that the Classics were closer to the size of vintage, when you crouched them down. They're about 1.5" taller. Maybe about 1" or so taller in the crouched pose. :(
This is incredible, man! Viva la 5.5!
I don't recall there ever being a live stream. Just text with the occasional pics.
Toyark usually does a chat stream coverage of it. I was checking out the site this morning and tried to figure out where it would be, but didn't find it. I'm sure someone will post a link.
Got some cool stuff at C2E2... https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5330/14101683221_e098073565_b.jpg

I definitely see these as more like a one off giant Skeletor or He-Man that you put on a shelf next to a plant, or something, as more of a funky pop art sort of thing, than a line that you collect. ...
I'm happy for the POP fans! Congrats!
I'm personally on the fence with this one. I'm sure I'll end up caving, though... :shlol:
Pretty cool!
Although I'd much rather have resources directed at new 5.5" vintage-style figures.
But yeah, cool to see these shapes and proportions getting some attention and love again! :)
I like that they're looking at doing the vintage style like that. Pretty cool, as, like a couple of bigger art pieces for your house.
I'm personally not really interested in seeing MOTUC at that...
I think we'll be more likely to see 6" Joes in the Masher style.
Cool looking figure. Not a cool resolution to the UNO concept.
...just my humble opinion, though. :skgrin:
Scott- It seems that there is quite a bit of interest in reviving the vintage MOTU figure style, whether after Classics or in some other fashion. Obviously, you can't comment on any plans that Mattel...
Anybody seeing the 6" Classic Mumm-Ra anywhere? I never got around to grabbing him and wouldn't mind picking him up for super cheap.
For some reason, I totally missed that Axel was working on this.
I might just give the comic another shot! :sklol:
If I had, to bet, my money would be on Unnamed One having a look significantly derived from Snake Mountain.
Count me in as another Snake Mountain-Man theorist. :skgrin:
Someone posted early copies of Bebop and Rocksteady that they scored from China over on the Technodrome Forums. No ankle articulation. MAJOR sad face.
So weird that we haven't seen updated Rocksteady and Bebop. Those figures at NYTF were pretty prototypey. One would think that something close to the factory versions would exist by this point.
Bebop and Rocksteady are essentially "Wave 2", which is this Fall.
Movie Turtles are "Wave 3" which is Spring 2014.
As much as I dig the idea of those Movie Turtles, I really wish we...
I'm surprised that more pics of the Matty booth haven't popped up, yet.

Yeah. I agree. When I say "leaks", I mean more like a quick snap that someone managed to take of their booth getting setup. Those are always fun little teasers that don't really give anything away.

"Saur!" Aster nodded happily, enjoying the role of big brother.
"Okay Reni, come on out!" The Sunkern appeared in a flash.
The Pokemon faced each other across the path. "Aster, use Tackle! Reni, dodge and use Mega Drain!"
Aster ran toward Reni, who managed to dodge. Tendrils of green light sped toward Aster.
"Dodge it Aster, and use Razor Leaf!"
Aster leapt into the air, but Reni managed to redirect her Mega Drain to encase the Bulbasaur in green light.
"Nice one Reni!" Sarah cheered as Aster shook off the attack. "You're going to be ready for our next battle for sure!"
Official's Post:
Did you hear? Apparently Celestia is synonymous with
. The next section in the current chapter of your journey is dripping with coincidence.
Occasionally attacks go wrong. Like, for example, a Mega Drain sucks up more than is intended. And that is certainly the case here.
You're aware that Bulbasaur is part Poison type, correct? Well, when your Sunkern sapped the Bulbasaur's energy, it also sapped some of its incredibly poisonous toxins that it keeps in its body.
Uh oh.
"Sun," your plant Pokemon responds as you praise it for the great battle effort. Unfortunately, the Sunkern topples over and seems immobile, shaking ever so slightly. You go to check its condition. Not good. The Sunkern is burning up with an incredibly hot fever. Unless you find an antidote, the Sunkern is probably
going to be out of action for a while
But where can you find an antidote?
You're in the woods. Who knows what you might stumble upon? You could always look around and try to find something. Some say that a certain Pokemon in Route 3 can heal another of any ailment.
Of course, looking for a cure will certainly snatch time away from your trip. Darn. You can either wait until you get to the next Pokemon Center or have your Sunkern fighting fit straight away. Either which way, it's probably not good to have the poor thing continue to suffer like that...

Gizmo peers into your bag.
"Ohohohohoho! I see you have a Poke Ball and a Net Ball! The Poke Ball, well, that just captures Pokemon, y'see? And the Net Ball, well, that's pretty good at catching Bug and Water Pokemon, y'see?"

Gran Fondo Goldendale
April 13, 2014
Goldendale High School
Goldendale, WA
Thank you all for a fantastic day in Goldendale! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Results are up and there's a bunch of pics over on Facebook. Rusty Dodge set the bar high at the inaugural GFG with a time of 4:52:30 and was also the KOM. Special thanks to all of our awesome volunteers!
Brand new for 2014 we are very excited to show off Goldendale Washington! 90 miles of non stop epic views and rolling terrain on the edge of arid central wa and the mountains. This ride will add up to 6200′ of climbing and just enough gravel to keep your drive train gritty.
April 13, 2014
Meet: Goldendale High School.
Start time: 9:00 am
Distance: 90 miles (25 gravel) 6300′ climbing
Price: $70 ($70 reflects a $5 Klickitat Co Sheriffs dept. surcharge)
Registration: NOTE first 100 registered riders guaranteed thermal cap on race day.
Note: Registration closes April 10th. This event is limited to 200 and is pre-registration only. This ride is HARD and is intended for experienced cyclists only.
While in Goldendale check out a few of our faves, be sure to tell them your in town for the Gran Fondo.
The Glass Onion – food
Windy Ridge Saloon – food/beer and early checking Sat 7:30-9 pm
Ayulta – Mexican food
KOM Challenge: There will be two King Of the Mountain challenges: Pine Forest Rd Climb, and Horseshoe Bend. To be eligible you must upload your ride to Strava within 24 hrs of the ride. This is just for fun; remember, this is not a race and you stand nothing to gain by winning the KOM. Other than the undying respect and adoration of your peers.
What you get: You will receive a super cool limited Gran Fondo Goldendale thermal cycling cap, a well thought out, and well marked course that will knock your socks off, a well stocked aid station to refuel at mid ride, and a hot meal to refuel post ride. We will also post the times of all finishers for bragging rights.
Route: The course is just shy of 90 miles with 6300′ of climbing. You will be on approx 25 miles worth of gravel. Not as much as in GF Ephrata, but not as nice of gravel as Ephrata either. Think bigger rock and rougher, most notably on Eshelman Rd and Rattlesnake Rd. Dalles Mtn Rd and Horseshoe Rd both roll fairly nice. There will be one well stocked aid station at approx the half way point, with two mini aid stations in between.
Gear: With so many variable course conditions it is hard to say what's right or wrong. Road, cross, or mtb, any one will work, but all will have a disadvantage at some point. Personally I would run my Trek Cronus CX with a tubeless 700×28 Hutchinson Sector. Not the perfect setup for 100% of the course, but a good middle ground. There will be lots of climbing so plan accordingly. There will be a couple aid stations and maybe a sag wagon or two, but it's a good idea to be somewhat self sufficient. Weather is always something to consider this time of year. I would love to say it's going to be sunny and 65 degrees, but it could just as easily be windy or rainy or both. Bring on the adventure baby!
Bottom Line: Goldendale may just be the perfect middle ground at 90 miles, 6300′, 25 gravel, bridging the gap between Ephrata and Leavenworth. This is a beautiful ride on rolling terrain, just on the edge of dry land wheat and big mountains, but not too much of either.

On yesterday's scrimmage - We did a little game work in yesterday. We had to put that together and make it all work. We followed up today with some walk thru's and corrections and an on the field scouting report continuing with James Madison.
We scrimmaged yesterday and we didn't tackle to the ground. We couldn't afford to lose anymore running backs. We got exactly what we wanted out of it … great looks defensively at what the James Madison offense is suppose to look like. Our number two units ran the James Madison offense. We saw some things in there that give us problems, we saw some things in there we really liked. (Coach asked his team to stay late last evening and study tape).

My amateur radio career began in September 1969 when I obtained my general class license, callsign WA0ZRT. I was 15. Shortly after receiving my license I encountered the County Hunters Net on 75 meters and found that my county (Fremont) in Iowa was very rare. I worked all 50 states that night before I closed my station the next morning at 5 AM. This was in an era when I had to ask permission to make a long distance phone call 40 miles away.
During my highschool days I used a Galaxy GT-550 ( 550 W PEP, 360 W CW ) and a TA-33 mounted on the second story of my family's garage. Propagation to the east, west and south was extraordinary so I had many enjoyable QSOs on 10m and 15m.
For a time after college I was very active. Being the poor college graduate that many of us are in our early years, I built my own free-standing, 63 foot tower and this became home for my TA-33. The tower was 4 feet on-a-side at its base, tapering to 18 inches at the top for the last ten feet. Now some thirty years later, it is still standing in my small hometown in Iowa.
A return to college and accompanying major career shift to electrical engineering kept me away from the hobby considerably until I returned in February 2006 to try out the Virginia QSO party. I had such a good time that I soon acquired an SB200 amplifier that received the customary modifications. With some power to accompany my disadvantaged antenna situation ( due to covenants and restrictions {C&Rs} ), I became further involved
I moved to a new country QTH in Oct 2010 where I am able to install antennas. In early September 2011 I finished the majority of the new antenna installation. The 72 foot crankup tower has a complement of a Force12 C-31XR for 10-20 m and a Cushcraft XM-240 for 40 m. When fully extended the C31XR is at 73 feet and the XM-240 at 81 feet. August 2012 I installed a DX Engineering DXE-8040VA-1 vertical ( ~ 54 ft high for 80m). There are 90 radials forming the ground plane for the vertical. I am in the process of modifying my station for SO2R operation. I am using an Array Solutions 2x8 RatPak, the Microham u2R, various stubs at the antennas for added isolation, and homebrew bandpass filters to protect the receivers. I will likely not be ready to go until sometime in 2015 because of the filter construction. Another important modification has been to change the open-sleeve feed of the C31XR to three separate coaxes and chase down tweeks to minimize inherent interactions with the XM240.
I look forward to our next QSO, whether at a leisurely, rag-chew pace, or in a contest. I operate almost exclusively CW.
On the left, below, is my operating position with my Ten-Tec Orion II transceiver and a Centurion amplifier, as well as an Alpha 8410. To the right is a picture of the QTH with the yagis approximately 125 ft beyond the house. The antennas are rotated by a M2 Orion 2800P rotator.

Winter gardening?
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 12-09-2012 - 1:26am
Is anybody growing any veggies or herbs, indoors or outside?
We are fortunate to be able to garden outside year round. Its always interesting to see how long the summer plants last. Last winter I had good luck with a few summer plants overwintering and providing zuccini and bell peppers all winter (just not a great volume of them). This year I still have tomatoes and eggplant and chilies going strong. The eggplant is a big surprise. This summer the zuccini didn't do that well nor did bell peppers, with the exception of the Pimento sweet peppers. Also I have strawberries growing in one of those "pocket" pots, I thought they were dying in the summer but now that its cooler they're looking great again and setting fruit, I even got one little ripe berry a few days ago!
I'm late on winter planting but finally got some things planted in the past couple of weeks. I put in starts of sugar snap peas, Winterbor kale, Cheddar Cheese cauliflower, and seeds of beets. I want to start 6-paks of lettuce and spinach too. I've tried direct sowing but the slugs and bugs eat most of them as they emerge so transplanting works better.
Is the winter a gardening time for you, or is it all armchair gardening where you look at seed catalogs and dream about what you will plant next spring?
|Sun, 12-09-2012 - 1:10pm
We get hard frosts in October and usualy, by now, we have had snow (we are in a snow "drought" according to the Weatehr Channel *and* our local weather man) so winter garening without a green house is impossible. And we don't have space for a green house. DH has mulched all of his flower beds and put what bulbs he could into the ground (or into the garage in cold storage if they were that type)... adn we are now into armchair mode!
I have had limited success with moving eggplant indoors in pots but it didn't work this year. We move all our sensitive potted plants --- hibiscus, poinsetties and the like --- into our sunroom when evening temps start diving below 50 and that constittues our winter gardening.
|Fri, 12-14-2012 - 6:59pm
Here we CAN winter garden (greens are very popular) but I limited myself to potting the rosemary and it is growing in my kitchen. I think next year I might try ALL of my herbs in pots, so I can keep them from overgrowing each other. Last summer it was like they were trying to smother each other out and take over! Especially the pineapple sage, which didn't bother me when the hummingbirds migrated and they chose to stay a while in my garden on their way to South America. They LOVED that pineapple sage!

Dog Pads K-9 of the Month
July 2014 Guiness : Doberman/Lab Mix
Guinness belongs to the Vlach family of Shakopee. Guinness is a true sweetheart and always has many different facial expressions. He loves to snuggle and get ear rubs. He was a little timid at first coming into the Dog Pad Pack but quickly warmed up and became very playful with the medium size dogs. He likes to chase balls and is patiently waiting for the pool to open this spring. Thanks Vlach family for letting Guinness call Dog Pad his vacation place away from home.
June 2014 Margie : Yellow Lab Puppy
Margie belongs to the Gallentine family of Jordan. Margie started attending Dog Daycare at 8 weeks old and boy has she grown in two months. Margies owners know how important it is to socialize and train young puppies so they are lifelong good family pets. Margie loves to wrestle and play ball (some days it is hard to tell she is a yellow lab instead of a chocolate as dirty as she gets playing). Her obedience skills are improving weekly and she is a true joy to have. (Tory gets her lab puppy fix so she doesnt get herself another one.) Thanks Gallentines for allowing us to grow up with Margie we love her!
May 2014 Eddie : Terrier Mix
Eddie belongs to the Beran family of Shakopee. Eddie is a little guy that lives like a big wild wolf! We love to watch his little legs play chase with all the retrievers as he is really quick for his size. His face is absolutely adorable with his whiskery beard and eye brows. Eddie truly loves being a Dog Pad Dog and it is fun having him as part of our team. Thanks Beran family for letting Eddie come and play with his fellow Dog Pad friends
April 2014 Scout : German Shepard
Scout belongs to the Gummert family of Jordan. Scout is a young full of energy puppy that needed a place to burn some of that energy off, so the Gummerts signed him up for daycare. At first she was a little timid but after a few days playing she has really turned into a Dog Pad dog! Her best trick is waiting for Sonic to bring back a ball and she quickly steals it so I cant throw it for him! Welcome to Dog Pad Scout and thanks Gummerts for letting us be a part of Scouts playful puppy life!
March 2014 Sable : German Shepard
Sable belongs to the Mellgren family of Jordan. Sable found Dog Pad after a recommendation from her neighbor Scout! Since Sable has been attending daycare, Scout and Sable are true best buddies! Sable likes to heard the retrievers as they chase balls and it is always a contest as who is going to tug on whos collar first between Sable and Scout. After her first day of play she was exhausted which the Mellgrens loved. Welcome to Dog Pad Sable, you are a true joy to have.

December 2013 Harley : Pitbull
Harley- belongs to the McClellan family of Victoria Harley is a new Dog Pad Dog. He is the biggest sweetheart in a 100 lb body you will ever meet. Harley loves wrestling (loudly) and playing on the agility equipment in the playyard.

Thanks McClellan family for choosing Dog Pad and sharing Harley with us.
