If you're uploading (and I guess downloading) large blobs to Azure you might hit a timeout consistently because the ClientBlobClient have a timeout property. It defaults to 90 seconds which means that if Azure is your bottle neck (and throttling you) anything above 5400 MB will result in a timeout. In real life your connection up to azure is more likely your bottle neck (for example I experienced timeouts of files above approximately 200MB when uploading from home). So make sure you increase this timeout for large files to avoid these timeouts.
There is however another problem with this API in my opinion. As a server I think it makes sense to have a timeout preventing clients from taking up resources by just uploading data very slowly, but this is a client API so as long as I'm uploading data I'm technically fine I think. A much shorter timeout where it only fires if no data can be sent during that period makes more sense to me personally. In a perfect world there would actually be two timeouts; the idle timeout and an overall timeout. But the default (and what I think should be there if I had to choose one) would be the idle timeout. I don't think a client really wants to timeout if transfer is slow as long as there is progress. But again, that's just me...
You can also use the Blob Transfer Utility to download and upload all your blob files.
It's a tool to handle thousands of (small/large) blob transfers in a effective way.

should I let my baby cry?

I was watching "The Doctors" the other day. They said after 30 minutes of CIO that babies stress hormones elevate to critical levels and oxygen levels drop. Then even small amounts of brain changes/damage are noted. So while letting a baby cry for a few minutes won't hurt it at all, pick up baby as soon as you are able. They said in the same study that a baby who cried nonstop IN THEIR MOTHERS ARMS did NOT have ANY of the same stress hormones and changed. So while baby may be allowed to cry, as long as you are involved and trying to comfort baby, baby will be fine. They do learn sooner, also, that if you respond to them crying, that they feel more secure, and as they age, they cry less and less! WIN WIN!posted 03/02/2010 by Naaster
Here read this. Especially LOOLA AND BATTLECAT_TJ. You two need to read this very badly. As I have said. Children learn to self sooth at 6 weeks of age. Let them cry. Not for hours on end. But they must cry and learn to take of themselves, otherwise we will have another juvenile delinquent on our hands...and they will be a 30 year old juvenile delinquent at that. http://www.nymetroparents.com/newarticle.cfm?colid=7396 Great article. This explains all. Oh and it is written by child psychologists that are not afraid of telling you the truth. That is a problem America is facing now. Dr.'s do not want to be blunt and truthful with mothers b/c they know the mom will go to another Dr. then he loses MoNEY. IT is all about $$$. When will people realize this. Just like there is no cure for HIV yet Magic Johnson has had it for what 15 years and looks more healthy now than when he was diagnosed.posted 11/04/2010 by rvms31
OK... you shouldn't let a baby UNDER 6 months old cry themselves to sleep. it makes separation anxiety worse when they get older... when they get to 6 months-7 months they tend to fight their sleep. because they don't want to miss anything. this is what I do for my son, he has his own room. we give him a SIPPY cup of WATER and let him cry for about 10 min he always drifts to sleep. I have never put him to bed with milk or juice. this is not recommended that you put him to sleep with anything else but water. he hasn't had a bottle since he was 7 months old. we switched to sippy cups, he has 11 teeth and he will be a year old on sept 13th 2010. I think that the sippy cup instead of the bottle has something to do with his teeth coming in early IDK.. anyways. Yes sometimes you need to let the baby cry when they are falling asleep or even when they cry. I distract him with something else. and he usually stops unless he is tired lol. well that is my opinion.posted 09/04/2010 by mrsluther2010
It is absolutely insane to let your baby cry for 20 minutes as some have stated! Studies are showing that young babies (I believe under 6-9 months) have absolutely NO way of self-soothing that is healthy. The only way they can get themselves to stop crying is to produce high levels of cortisol. Early studies are showing that when a baby's developing brain is flooded with this hormone they are much more likely to have emotional and developmental problems as they get older. Obviously as some of said, if you are at your wit's end you shouldn't feel guilty about composing yourself for a few moments before you attend to your baby. I agree that our culture has an INSANE obsession with trying to force independence way too young. Independence comes from feeling secure and confident, not from being scared and having to "fend for yourself". At such a young age babies' experiences are magnified and have long-term effects.

I started laying my little man down wide awake at six months so he could learn to sleep on his own. I am so thankful I went through those excrutiating weeks, as he is now 2 years old and when I say it's bed time he brushes his teeth and goes to bed. As a mom you will know when your little one really needs you or is just wanting to get out of sleep.posted 09/24/2010 by crewsa
THE CARTOON MAKES THEM CARICATURES ....HOWEVER WHEN MY HANDYCAPPED SON KNEW I WAS TALKINK HE KNOW THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND HIS DAD !!!!!!posted 10/08/2010 by perlacortez1011
I picked my daughter up everytime she cried and would get so frustrated because all I did all day long was hold her. It got to the point I couldn't stand the crying so I began sleeping with her in my arms. Big mistake. I did not get her out of my bed until this past Christmas on her 3rd birthday. To this day I still have to lay with her until she falls asleep. She is getting better but is terrified to be alone. Now with my two month old son (who has colic as mentioned below) I am trying to do things different. I do hold him everytime he cries but after making sure he is fine put him in his swing or bed to give myself a break. Normally I can give him his binky and wrap him tight and he will fall asleep in his swing, but if not I know he is hurting and then its time to visit the rocker. Main point, do not let them sleep with you no matter how bad it gets. Lol.posted 09/28/2010 by kendranicole32
Everyone has their own opinions and we need to remember we all are raised differently. I respect every answer posted and am glad we have sites where we can learn from each other. With that being said, I agree you can not spoil your baby by picking them up every time they cry. However, with my two month old I have rocked him to sleep since he was born. I do so because he has colic and extreme tummy trouble. Now that he is used to me rocking him, when I put him down he immediately wakes up and wants me to hold him again. I am trying to now feed him, change him, rock and sing to him and put him down right before he goes to sleep. It was a hard first night but after he finally fell asleep, he slept for 6 hours. Wonderful for his tummy troubles. He woke up only to go to bathroom. He was not crying loud and just kind of fussy. Otherwise I would have rocked him as normal. I do not believe we are to teach them independence before they're old enough to communicate with us. That comes with time!posted 09/28/2010 by kendranicole32
baby does not cry unnecessarily, they only cry when they are not at ease if you supply whatever they are demanding then they stop crying. if they dont stop crying after you met all their needs then you must consult your physian as there is something wrong with your baby that you are not able to understand. but for god sake dont let your baby cry more than a minute,give your love, comfort and warmth and assurence that you are available all the time.................................posted 07/28/2010 by urvi bhatt
I have to disagree with many of the moms on here. I think its perfectly fine to let your baby cry as long as you are certain there is nothing wrong. Check the usual, diapers, temperature, hunger, etc. And I'm not saying to ALWAYS let your babies cry. But babies can cry, just to cry. One day me & my husband decided to move our 4 month old son to his own room. The first few nights we just let him cry himself back to sleep. Now, 3 months later, he sleeps thru the night from 9 pm to 6 or 7 am. It has been the biggest lifesaver. The first night he cried for almost an hour but after that it gradually got less and less. I work from home & I cannot realistically hold him every second. Sometimes I have to set him down with his toys & let him cry. Otherwise I would never get anything done! Most of them time 5 min later he is playing with his toys & fine. Some babies aren't so fussy but my son will cry & cry unless we pick him up & walk around with him. We just can't do that 24/7!posted 09/24/2008 by mamamaria08

Article: Volatile chemical and carotenoid profiles in watermelons [Citrullus vulgaris (Thunb.) Schrad (Cucurbitaceae)] with different flesh colors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Twelve watermelon [Citrullus vulgaris (Thunb.) Schrad (Cucurbitaceae)] cultivars with different flesh colors were analyzed by HPLC, GC-FID, and GC-MS for their differences in carotenoid, soluble sugar, organic acid, and flavor. Results showed that all-trans violaxanthin, 9-cis-violaxanthin, and luteoxanthin were the main carotenoid esters in watermelons with yellow flesh. However, watermelons with red flesh were rich in all-trans lycopene and their cis-isomers. High concentrations of β-carotene and pro-lycopenes were found in watermelon with orange-yellow flesh. Large variations in the sucrose concentration were observed among the different watermelons. Sucrose and/or fructose were the dominant sugars, while citric acid and malic acid were the main organic acids in watermelon flesh. Limonene was detected in the watermelon flesh of all investigated genotypes. Interestingly, partial correlation analysis of the chemical concentrations revealed 2 significant (p<0.01) positive correlations between β-ionone and β-carotene, and between (E)-geranyl acetone and prolycopenes.
Article: Light effect on carotenoids production and expression of carotenogenesis genes in citrus callus of four genotypes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Due to their theoretically identical genetic background, citrus callus and other plant tissues may share some mechanisms in the regulation of carotenogenesis. Thus, in order to gain further information on light regulation of carotenoids biosynthesis in citrus, the carotenoids and expression profiles of carotenogenesis in calluses of four citrus genotypes treated with light or dark were investigated. As a response to white light, results showed that carotenoids biosynthesis in callus of Red Marsh grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) was hampered, whereas callus of Tarocco blood orange (C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck) was sensitive to light by accumulating over 55% more carotenoids on average. Among the detected carotenoids, the biosynthesis of carotenes seemed to be more sensitive than that of xanthophylls. Expression profiles of eight carotenogenesis genes encoding phytoene synthase (PSY), phytoene desaturase (PDS), ζ-carotene desaturase (ZDS), carotenoids isomerase (CRTISO) etc. were investigated. Results revealed that PSY was up regulated in calluses of two sweet oranges, and down regulated in callus of Murcott tangor (C. reticulata × C. sinensis). Biochemical data in the three genotypes emphasized the PSY as a rate-limiting gene in the carotenogenesis. However, in the callus of Red Marsh grapefruit, PDS and ZDS might be the rate-limiting genes, and their transcripts were apparently inhibited by light, led to significant decreases in contents of β-carotene and total carotenoids irrelevant to transcription levels of PSY. Expression of CRTISO was light-induced, especially in the callus of Murcott tangor, and increased by nearly 12-fold. In conclusion, light regulates the expression of several carotenogenesis genes in citrus callus, but may not necessarily result in significant changes in carotenoids production.

ABSTRACT: Eight carotenoids, such as phytoene, α-carotene, violaxanthin, etc., synthesized in citrus callus of 31 genotypes were identified and determined. Though varied with genotypes, the carotenoids composition of callus derived from a certain genotype was stable, while carotenoids contents altered between sub-cultures. Some specific carotenoids were produced in calluses of limited genotypes: β-citraurin was only synthesized in calluses of Nianju tangerine (Citrus reticulata Blanco) and Page tangelo (C. reticulata×C. paradisi); while 9-Z-violaxanthin was only detected in Nianju tangerine and Skaggs Bonanza navel orange (C. sinensis L. Osbeck). Notably, the only carotenoid detected in calluses of Natsudaidai (C. aurantium L.) and other two sweet oranges (C. sinensis L. Osbeck) was phytoene. It implied that citrus calluses could be employed to produce specific carotenoids in the future. To further elucidate the characters of callus carotenoids profile, comparisons of carotenoids profiles was made among calluses, fruit tissues and leaves of four selected citrus genotypes. Results showed that lycopene was not detected in leaves and calluses; nevertheless, both citrus fruits and calluses accumulated phytoene, whereas leaves did not except those of Cara Cara navel orange. It is postulated that citrus callus featured its carotenoids profile different from fruit tissues and leaves. In conclusion, the advantages of using citrus callus as an alternative model research system in understanding the regulation of carotenogenesis have been discussed.

If you're a devoted Birchbox reader, you're probably well aware that we have a serious infatuation with dry shampoo. Our latest obsession is this game-changer from hip brand TIGI. A couple of quick spritzes instantly zaps excess oil, perks up flat locks, and lets us go an extra day (okay, four) without shampooing.
I use dry shampoo every other day so I was excited to try this one out. And it is by far the best dry shampoo I have ever used. It smells fantastic and is virtually translucent. Unlike my luck with Pssst and Dove dry shampoos that leave white behind. This is a must have and to boot it adds volume!5
I'm not usually a fan of the haircare samples that come in my Birchbox. They're usually for completely different hair types or styles than mine. I have a short, earlobe-length bob and superfine, very straight hair, so ponytail holders and curly hair shampoo don't do me a bit of good.
I was excited to try out this product. Dry shampoo has been on my radar since I first heard that shampooing your hair daily is a no-no. I have to do something with my hair, otherwise it looks limp and oily, even if I don't put any product in it. While I'm still interested in trying out dry shampoos, I don't think this is the one for me. It has a very strong scent that lingers for hours (and clashes with my perfume) and I didn't notice any difference in the texture or look of my hair.
I long to find a dry shampoo that really works on my oily scalp. Although, this product did initially liven my day old tresses, as the day wore on I felt my hair getting heavier and greasier. I loved the scent and even made my friends smell my dirty hair, however, I was silly to think that I may have found the one dry shampoo that works. I may never.4

Help - pregnancy test question...
Comments (7)
How many DPO are you?
When I got my first positive last Monday at about 8 DPO it was negative at first....I told me husband it was negative....and then about 10 minutes later I looked again and there was a SUUUUUUPER faint line. I tested again later that day to assure myself it wasn't an evaporation line.
It's gotten darker everyday.
Test again!!! =)
Oh...and I just read some study yesterday that said in very early pregnancy the positive doesn't register until several minutes later. I think it was here on BBC?

From what I understand, it doesn't matter how faint or dark it is, a line is a line and therefore means pregnancy especially if it gets darker because evap lines don't get darker after time. I might be mistaken. Test again. I tested at 8dpo with my son Elliot and the results were so light that the woman at the pregnancy center told me it was negative even though I had used a digi test earlier that day and it said positive.
If all else fails and you still aren't sure use a digi if you can afford one. Then there is no second guessing.

Monday with Mike: Broncos banished
Boise State's loss to Nevada not only dropped the Broncos out of the hunt for the national title, it almost certainly means there will be no BCS bowl at all and, instead, an appearance in a bowl that no one really cares about.
Fans have argued that the BCS games have rendered the other bowls meaningless, but there is meaningless and then there are the Humanitarian, the New Mexico and the Kraft Fight Hunger bowls -- and the Broncos seem likely to end up in one of those games.
From a possible spot in the national championship game to an appearance in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl? Whatever you think of Boise's program, that's unfair. It also points out a big problem with the bowls: Not only are there too many, the ones that exist are so tightly bound with tie-ins that it's ridiculous.
Even with the BCS out of the equation, there still potentially are numerous intriguing matchups that could exist but, alas, have no chance of being played. Boise State vs. LSU, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Alabama or Texas A&M would make for good theater. Instead, we're likely to get Boise vs. ACC also-ran Boston College in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (it's in San Francisco, in case you're wondering).
Not all tie-ins create bad matchups. The Capital One Bowl seems likely to have Alabama-Michigan State this season. The Chick-fil-A (ACC vs. SEC), Cotton (Big 12 vs. SEC) and Alamo (Big 12 vs. Pac-10) also should have entertaining matchups.
But too many of the 35 bowl matchups are unpalatable. It's not only Boise State that should be disappointed. Utah, UCF and Northern Illinois could go into the postseason with at least 10 wins each but end up facing teams that are 6-6 or 7-5. And does anyone really care if 7-5 or 6-6 major-conference also-rans play each other? You'd better, as the potential exists for six or seven of those.
The bowl system is under enough fire that it doesn't need to be self-inflicting even more wounds, but that's the case. And it's hard to win any kind of PR campaign if you're trying to sell the likes of Nevada-Toledo, Northern Illinois-Louisville, Missouri-Washington, Miami-Ohio U., Northwestern-Texas Tech, Pittsburgh-Kentucky and Boise State-Boston College.
Speaking of bowls ...
Here's a league-by-league look.
ACC: There are nine bowl-eligible teams and eight tie-ins.
Big East: There are six bowl-eligible teams and six tie-ins.
Big Ten: There are eight bowl-eligible teams and eight tie-ins. If the league gets two teams in the BCS, as expected, it will not fill its slot in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.
Big 12: There are eight bowl-eligible teams and eight tie-ins. If the league gets two BCS bids, which is not considered likely, it will not fill its slot in the TicketCity Bowl.
Conference USA: There are six bowl-eligible teams and six tie-ins.
Mid-American: There are six bowl-eligible teams and three tie-ins.
Mountain West: There are five bowl-eligible teams and five tie-ins. But TCU is bound for the BCS, which means the league won't fill one of its slots.
Pacific-10: There are three bowl-eligible teams, and two others -- Oregon State (5-6) and Washington (5-6) -- with a chance to gain eligibility. Washington must beat Washington State (2-9) in the Apple Cup, while Oregon State must beat Oregon (11-0) in the "Civil War" to gain eligibility. The league has six tie-ins. There is a possibility that the league gets two BCS bids, which means -- potentially -- the league will have four bowl slots unfilled. It seems likely that three will be vacant.
SEC: There are 10 bowl-eligible teams and nine tie-ins.
Sun Belt: There are two bowl-eligible teams, with Middle Tennessee (5-6) gaining eligibility if its wins at league champ Florida International this week. The league has two tie-ins.
WAC: There are four bowl-eligible teams, with Louisiana Tech (5-6) still alive; it must win at home against Nevada to gain eligibility. There are four tie-ins.
Independents: All three are bowl eligible, and Navy already has accepted a bid to play in the Poinsettia Bowl.

North Texas RB Lance Dunbar and Kansas State RB Daniel Thomas combined for 539 yards and five TDs in K-State's wild 49-41 win. Dunbar rushed for 161 yards and two TDs in the first quarter alone, and finished with 270 yards and three TDs. Thomas rushed for 269 yards and two scores. Their total fell just short of the NCAA record for most yards gained by opposing running backs in a game. The record is 553, set by San Diego State's Marshall Faulk (386 yards) and Pacific's Ryan Benjamin (167) on Sept. 14, 1991.
Oklahoma has been the place to be for big passing numbers this season. Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden threw for 257 yards -- his second-lowest total of the season -- in a loss to Oklahoma on Saturday night, but still went over the 4,000-yard mark for the season. He has thrown for 4,037 yards and 32 TDs. OU's Landry Jones threw for a season-high 468 yards in the win, giving him 3,947 yards and 34 touchdowns on the season. And Tulsa's G.J. Kinne, who began his career at Texas before transferring, threw for a season-high 406 yards in Friday's 56-50 win over Southern Miss. He has thrown for 3,307 yards and 28 TDs. That's 11,291 yards and 94 touchdowns from the state of Oklahoma's three FBS quarterbacks.
Louisiana Tech WR Phillip Livas tied an NCAA record for most career returns for a touchdown when he took a punt back 88 yards for a TD in the Bulldogs' 45-38 victory over San Jose State. Livas has a combined eight punt and kickoff return TDs in his career, tying him with five others: Colorado's Cliff Branch (1970-71), Nebraska's Johnny Rodgers (1970-72), Kentucky's Derek Abney (2000-03), Hawaii's Chad Owens (2001-04) and Clemson's C.J. Spiller (2006-09).
Florida's six-game winning streak over Florida State ended with a thud, as the Seminoles dominated the Gators 31-7. It was the third time this season Florida was held under 10 points; the Gators had been held under 10 six times total from 1990-2009. It's the first time Florida has been held under 10 three times in a season since 1988, when the Gators' offense consisted of three plays -- Emmitt Smith left, Emmitt Smith right, Emmitt Smith up the middle. Smith was injured and missed all or parts of four games in '88.
You want to know why Randy Shannon was fired at Miami? The 28-22 career record was damning, but here is an even more damning number: 26,369. That was the attendance at Saturday's home game against USF. That is pitiful. Miami is a recruiting dream for the new coach, but the fan base is lacking. That fan base is a mile wide but an inch deep, and when Miami isn't winning 10 and 11 games per season, those fans stay away in droves.

Show us your Chumby
Chumby is a wireless Linux-based stuffed plush box that can do pretty much anything you can hack it to do. That was the promise when we wrote about it in the September issue of Linux Journal. Now it's also reality: Chumby is shipping.
Ours hasn't arrived yet, but we know they're moving because Dave Winer has one. What's more, he says,
First impression: This is a breakthough device, kind of like the Cobalt Qube was in the mid-late 90s.
Then he details some hacker-oriented specifics (widgets, feeds, customizations...) and concludes,
I got it set up and running my widgets within an hour and it was fun! I love this device, it just reeks of potential. And they did a beautiful production job. It's easily as innovative as the iPhone, but it isn't getting as much attention. Take a look you won't be disappointed.
I take this as a special challenge to Linux Journal readers. Meaning that I'd like us (you and we) to follow this thing and see where it goes.
Or better yet, make it go there.
So, whaddaya got? Or whaddaya wanna do when you get one?
Bonus linkage: be sure to read the comments to Dave's post. Especially the one by Chumby founder and CEO Steve Tomlin, who addresses my own first feature request: streaming Internet radio, like I get with my (also Linux-based) Sonos, among a pile of other things. Key point: Chumby is intentionally unfinished and open. Some additions are up to the Chumby folks. The rest are up to the rest of us.
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
Tuxdroid FTW!
Now I want a Chumby AND a TuxDroid. Thanks a lot, Steven.
Shawn Powers is a Linux Journal Associate Editor. You might find him on IRC, Twitter, or training IT pros at CBT Nuggets.
Me too...
I still want the Chumby most though. Hoping my husband got the not so subtle hints, as my birthday is coming up :)
I am very excited about the Chumby's potential. I hope it lives up.
How can it not though? It's awfully cute.

Capture area - Indian Ocean (FAO 51,57)
Stock area - Indian Ocean
Stock detail - All Areas
Certification -
Fish type - Oily fish
This fish, caught by the methods and in the area listed above, is not the most sustainable choice of fish to eat. Click on the rating icon above to read more and on the alternatives tab below to find more sustainable fish to eat.
Sustainability overview
Indian Ocean yellowfin was last assessed in 2012, using data to 2011. At the time, the stock was considered to be in a healthy state and not subject to overfishing, yet since then, catches have been significantly (100,000t) above recommended levels. This along with stock projections, suggest that overfishing could now be occurring, but a new stock assessment is needed to establish this with certainty. If catches continue to increase, the rating for this fishery will deteriorate. Better management and country specific quotas are needed to cap and reduce catches, particularly in the Fish Aggregation Device (FAD) purse seine and handline fisheries which have both increased significantly in recent years. Yellowfin is caught by a wide range of gears in the Indian Ocean. The most selective methods include: handline, troll and pole and line, and FAD free purse seine. Bycatch of vulnerable species is of concern in the gillnet and longline fisheries and to a lesser extent in purse seine fisheries. FAD associated purse seine sets encounter a greater proportion of bycatch and juvenile fish compared with non-FAD purse seine sets, and it is unclear what other ecosystem impacts FADs may have. Monitoring and reporting of interactions with vulnerable bycatch species needs improvement across all fleets and poor catch reporting has been noted for a number of countries so it is important to only source from fisheries that are well regulated by their flag state. Yellowfin from the Maldives pole and line fishery is now certified by the Marine Stewardship Council and represents a good option. Commercial buyers should specify the need for catches to be reduced in line with scientific advice and establish what measures the flag state and fleet relating to their source is taking to reduces impacts on vulnerable species and to improve data collection, research and monitoring of their fisheries and specify the need to see ongoing, demonstrable improvements. Large buyers should consider supporting such improvements. MCS also advocates specifying the need for supplying vessels, in particular purse seiners, to register on the ISSF Proactive Vessel Register.
Tuna belong to the family Scombridae. They are large, oceanic fish and are seasonally migratory, some making trans-oceanic journeys. Yellowfin are found throughout the world's tropical and subtropical seas, except the Mediterranean. They often form large, size specific schools, frequently associated with dolphins or floating objects. Yellowfin is a large fast growing species, reaching maximum sizes of 240cm in length, 200kg in weight and an age of 8 years. They mature when 2 to 5 years old and mainly spawn in summer. Smaller fish are mainly limited to surface waters, while larger fish are found in surface and deeper waters, but rarely below 250m. Yellowfin has medium resilience to fishing.

Stock information
In Dec 2012, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) updated their 2011 assessment of the Indian Ocean yellowfin tuna stock. The last assessment was undertaken in 2012, using data up to 2011. That assessment indicated that the stock was not overfished (Spawning biomass, SB, 1.24 or 1.35Bmsy depending on model) nor being subject to overfishing (Fishing mortality, F, at 0.69 or 0.61Fmsy depending on model), however scientific advice following that assessment noted that significantly increased catches would likely reduce the biomass, and that catches should be limited to the lower MSY estimate of 300,000t. Catches have significantly exceeded this advice in the last 3years, with catches in 2011 being 327,000t; and catches in both 2012 and 2013 being approximately 400,000t. This is far in excess of the advice and over 50,000t above the median MSY estimate of 344,000t (with a range from 283,000 to 453,000t). Without a new stock assessment, it is difficult to know with certainty if the stock is now being subject to overfishing. However, stock projections developed for the 2012 assessment suggested that catches of 386,000t would result in exceeding Fmsy in 2013 and reduce the biomass to below sustainable levels by 2020 with 100% probability. Therefore, whilst it is possible that current catches of 400,000t could be sustained in the short term, it seems highly unlikely that they could be sustained in the long term. It is also noted that potential yields from the fishery have also declined in recent years as a result of an increased proportion of the catch being comprised of smaller fish, primarily from the FAD purse seine fishery.
A new stock assessment in 2015 will provide a more current and accurate picture of stock status.
Most tuna stocks range across and are accessed by numerous coastal states, making harmonised and effective management of these individual stocks very difficult. To try and achieve this, Intergovernmental Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) have been established; for this stock it is the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC). There are five main tuna RFMOs worldwide and it is their responsibility to carry out data collection, scientific monitoring and management of these fisheries. Whilst the RFMOs are responsible for the development of management and conservation measures, the degree to which they are implemented, monitored and enforced still varies significantly between coastal states. For this reason, it is important to choose tuna that has been caught by vessels that are well regulated by their flag state. Retained yellowfin catch and/or effort data is poor or unknown for the following countries/fisheries including: many coastal fisheries, notably those from Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Yemen, and Madagascar; the gillnet fisheries of Iran and Pakistan; longliners of India; the fresh-tuna longline fishery of Indonesia; the gillnet and longline fishery of Sri Lanka; and other non-reporting industrial purse seine and longline vessels.
There is no harvest control rule that has been developed for Indian Ocean yellowfin and management of the catch and effort does not appear to be effective as catches have far exceeded scientific advice in recent years. Large catch increases, particularly in FAD associated purse seine and hand line fisheries are of concern. Whilst there is an IOTC requirement for coastal states to limit and gradually reduce fishing capacity from 2006 levels, this does not apply to vessels under 24m in length which fish exclusively within their national waters. This means that capacity, particularly from coastal fisheries could well exceed 2006 levels. Management of small scale fisheries will need to improve considerably if they are to sustainably gain access to a larger proportion of the stock. This has been recently recognised by the IOTC and reflected in a new resolution which requires coastal states to establish national quotas for yellowfin and bigeye, and to advise on the best reporting requirement for artisanal tuna fisheries and to implement an appropriate data collection system.
A ban on the discarding of bigeye, yellowfin and skipjack tunas by purse seine vessels is in place.
The IOTC requires 5% regional observer coverage on all vessels over 24m and for vessels under 24m fishing outside of their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
To help address IUU, the IOTC maintains an IUU Vessel List and prohibits transhipments for large scale vessels at sea unless part of the Programme to Monitor Transhipments at Sea, which requires a list of approved and authorised vessels to undertake transhipments to be maintained. Additionally, the programme requires all transhipments at sea to be monitored by an IOTC observer.
Capture information
Large scale purse seiners, primarily from the European Union, are responsible for approximately 34% of the total Indian Ocean yellowfin catch. In recent years, the proportion of the purse seine catch taken on floating objects (Fish Aggregation Devices - FADs) has been increasing with the 2013 catch of 101,905t being the highest on record. This represents 25% of the total catch. At the same time, purse seine catches on free schooling fish have reduced, with the 2013 catch of 34,458t (8.6% of total) representing the second lowest on record.
Purse seines generally target smaller fish than longlining and often catch large numbers of juvenile fish. Yellowfin is often taken in purse seine sets targeting the smaller skipjack tuna. The IOTC scientific committee has noted that the increasing proportion of juvenile yellowfin being caught, particularly in FAD purse seine fisheries, has reduced the maximum sustainable yield.
Purse seines are associated with lower mortality rates of sharks, turtles and certainly birds, compared with longlining, however their widespread use means they may still have a significant impact on turtles, sharks and cetaceans. FAD associated purse seine fisheries catch a higher proportion of small fish and non-target species compared with sets on free schooling tuna. There are measures employed to reduce bycatch such as sorting grids, yet improved monitoring is required to assess their effectiveness. Poorly designed FADs may also entangle sharks and turtles. The increasing use of FADs is of concern due to the unknown impacts such gear might have on natural migratory patterns, growth rates and predation rates of affected pelagic species. Research into this should be prioritised.
Recently, the IOTC have developed measures that require countries to develop FAD management plans which include more detailed specifications of catch reporting from FAD sets and the development of improved FAD designs to reduce the incidence of entanglement of non-target species.
The IOTC have also recently introduced measures which prohibit knowingly setting purse seines around whale sharks or cetaceans, and should such species be unintentionally caught, every effort is to be made to ensure their safe release. Monitoring and reporting is deficient.
Regarding sharks, participating members are to develop conservation and management measures for vulnerable shark species which includes the prohibition to retain, tranship or land certain species and requires details of interactions with these species to be logged. This already applies to thresher sharks and, as in most tuna RAMOS, oceanic whitetip sharks. Monitoring of these measures is currently deficient and the effectiveness of these measures is to be reviewed in 2016. Several countries have failed to implement national plans for sharks, seabirds and turtles as required (although the shark plan is not binding in India as they have objected to the measure).
There is also ban on the discarding of bigeye, yellowfin and skipjack tunas by purse seine vessels under IOTC jurisdiction.

Re: Hawk Fan here
Seattle is not as good as the whiners. The whiners have a stout defense and some weapons they just have bad qb's. The game will be tough it is a very hostile enviornment up there but the Rams should win this easier the yesterday.

Re: Hawk Fan here
I'm a homer and all but i still think Seattle will win. I mean Steven jackson has never had more then like 80 rushing yards against seattle, if Seattle lose if wont be because of jackson is because our Corners make REcievers look like Pro-bowlers even if they are scrubs, in other words our corners coudn't cover their own dicks with condoms.. thats how bad they are. I know that Bradford started off hot, but doesn't he only have liek 2tds thrown in like the last 5 games?? i could be wrong. I really really hope the crowd noise will give the rams lots of trouble, i think the 12th man will be pumped and looked liek the offense struggled a lot against the noise that the away fans (chiefs fans) caused for the rams. As in the fuel that Steven Jackson has against currry and cheap shots, thats just stupid.. If you are healthy to play it doesn't matter where you get hit. Hasslebeck had bad ribs but when hall sacked him and hit him in the ribs no one complained, the only reason that Curry was pointed out is because steven jackson came out and complained about it. I know the rams have "fuel" going into this game, but so do the hawks with the loss they had early this season. If i had to bet 1000$ i wouldn't bet on the hawks, but at teh same time i think there is a 51% chance the hawks win if Hasslebeck plays.

Re: Hawk Fan here
I don't think Pete is the problem, even the local haters (UofW Husky diehards) haven't been blaming him much. Still too much old residue from the previous years to blame these current guys, IMO.
National TV, you say? Ugh. Man, I hope we put something together.
-12-27-2010 #98
Re: Hawk Fan here
i was going over the last game and if you can't get control of SJax this will be well in hand early.
As for next year i really don't see much. just because a coach does well in the collegiate level doesn't translate to automatic success in the nfl.
that said don't be too disappointed we can relate look at all the losing season we had. (hopefully behind us now)
In the meantime get used to that red flag getting exhausted.

Re: Hawk Fan here
Hey dudes, tough loss for you guys, but you did have a great season and have everything to look forward to.
I'm shocked and stoked. Seahawks are truly schizo this year.
I think the difference was Carroll and Whitehurst - his scrambling is not something that Hasselbeck could have done. I'm happy for the win as I didn't expect it, plus I've been saying that Hasselbeck is done for a long time now, so I feel vindicated.
I can't believe the Rams didn't run more...dont really know why. Also, it's hard to believe our crappy corners shutdown the receivers, but I don't know if they did or it was just conservative calling.
Those drops killed you guys, those were terrible. I'd imagine you are going for a receiver or two in the draft/Free agency, right?

Re: Hawk Fan here
It was a great season, clearly if we couldn't beat seattle, then we didn't deserve to make the playoffs,....well, at least we are still in position for a good draft pick.

Re: Hawk Fan here
Congrats to the seahawks. I am very bitter right now but congratz to you guys.

Cable/Remote release for M8/M8.2/M9.
Mar 29, 2010
A project I'm working on requires a cable release, or preferably, a remote release for M8 "and newer" M-range cameras.
The only order-able cable release I've found is the "Leica Cable Release for R & M Cameras - 20 ( #14076 )". Possibly, I've missed something, or different models (maybe not Leica branded, but compatible) are working fine, preferably remote controlled ones even.
Are you aware of such products, which would be compatible with the M8 (or newer) Leicas?
Thank you,

Prior year tournament summaries:
|First Baptist 2014
Monday, September 1
Hey everyone
The year end tournaments were held this past weekend and all three had some exciting weekends.
We will start with the A...
(Played at the beautiful park Peter Hallman Ball Yard)
The 2014 A division tournament was a closely fought affair, with no dominant teams, and several tie games adding to the complexity and drama of the round robin standings. Before the last round robin games were played, no less than three teams had a chance at the 4th and final playoff berth. When the last round robin games were over, the playoff picture was finally clear. The Koinonia Titans would play the First Baptist Batsmen in one semi-final game, and the Koinonia Royals would face the regular season champion Elevation Nationals in the other. In the semi-finals, the Batsmen defeated the round robin winning Titans on diamond 3, while the Koinonia Royals were victorious over the Nationals on diamond 1, setting up a rematch of last year's final: Batsmen vs Royals. In the final game, First Baptist jumped out to an early lead, and held the advantage into the bottom of the 9th inning. The Royals mounted a charge in the 9th, scoring 6 runs, but the Batsmen's lead proved too much to overcome. When the final out was make at third base, the First Baptist Batsmen were 2014 tournament champions. Final score: 17-11. Congratulations First Baptist. And congratulations to all teams on a close-fought, exciting regular season and tournament.
On to the B...
The B tournament weekend was held in St. Clements and was a good weekend overall. A few disputed calls and a no show umpire but what is a weekend without a few kinks. EMC came roaring out of the gates with a 4-0 start and against some of the higher seeded regular season teams too. Creekside and LMC played a good round robin as well playing neck and neck with the Cobras edging out a close win. The Cobras started out 1-2 but came back with 4 straight wins to come first place via a 3 way tiebreaker with the Cardinals and Raiders. The Expos also had a good round robin and finished 4th. They took on the Cobras in the first semi final but their bats ran out and the Cobras kept rolling to the final. The other semi final pitted two 5-2 teams against each other. TheRaiders started down 8-2 early and came back to go into the 9th tied. Creekside's SS and middle outfielders made some amazing plays but were not enough as EMC scored 7 in the top of the ninth and the Cardinals couldnt score in the bottom. 18-11 final score.
So the final the Cobras took on the Raiders. Both teams had some big hits, key plays and some amazing catches. The teams were tied going into the ninth but neither could get a run across. This was costly for the Cobras not scoring in the bottom of the ninth as the Raiders came out hitting in the top of the tenth with 7 runs. The Cobras couldn't match the firepower and the Raiders on a nice catch to end it won the B tournament. Congrats Raiders!
And finally the C in New Dundee/Manheim...

KUALA LUMPUR: A shell-shocked Tan Chun Seang wants the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) to lift the two-year ban on him so that he can continue to make a living from the game.
Yesterday, the distraught singles shuttler turned up at the BAM's office here seeking an explanation on the ban, which was imposed by the national body after a coaching and training committee on Wednesday.
The BAM decided to tighten their rules in a bid to safeguard their programme as they had spent a lot of time, money and resources to develop Chun Seang into one of the top back-up shuttlers.
Chun Seang said he decided to quit because he had had enough of playing badminton – especially after going through a lean spell over the last two years.
He reiterated that his quit decision had nothing to do with Hendrawan's move in leaving him out of next month's Vietnam Open.
"I was shocked with BAM's decision. I wanted to compete in smaller tournaments as well as the international meets held in Malaysia," said the 23-year-old Chun Seang.
