The word "BALAYAN" came from the word BA-I or balai which means house in Sri-Visayan dialect. Later the Filipino suffix "an" was added, thus the word Balayan was coined. This can also mean a group of house or settlement.
During the early days, the natives used to construct their houses on stills above the waters of Balayan Bay. It is said that when the Spaniards arrived the shores of Balayan it was already populated by the descendants of the two Bornean datus who settled in this place. Historians believe that Balayan is the center of the ancient powerful kingdom of MA-I.
The historic beginnings of Balayan which date back to the early 11th to 13th century as chronicled by Chinese historic accounts was a trading port as what they termed the "South Seas" of the barbarians, where Malays, Mongolians and Australians transported their goods for barter with products of the natives, which is believed to be the adobe of the "Tayakads" and the "Sagubangs", the early inhabitants of Balayan who fled to the mythical mountain called Batulao, the home of King Suay and Queen Dalisay, the parents of Princess Tagaytay when the Bornean Datus arrived.
The settlement lies on the shores of a vast body of water which was later on called "Kumintang" or "Bonbon". The people lived along the lands of the sea as well as on the lands of a big river coming from the fabled mountain of "Batung Dilao", where Datu Balensusa and Datung Dumangsil, two of the ten datus who purchased Panay, arrived and settled when they were blown by winds when they tried to return home. Later Datu Dumangsil sailed northward and Datu Balensusa was left behind in what was then called Bonvon. The last Malayan ruler, one of his descendants, Datu Kumingtang, stayed in what is now called Pook and died there.
On May 8, 1570, the Spaniards first set foot on the shores of Balayan, headed by Mashal Martin de Goiti and Captain Juan Salcedo, and found that this place was a thriving community. Later Balayan was rewarded to De Goiti as his encomienda while villa Fernandina in Vigan Ilocos Sur became Salcedo's encomienda.
In 1572, the Augustinian Friars planted the first cross somewhere in Barangay Lanatan and put a chapel of weak materials. However, the church did not last long for it was destroyed by barbaric natives. In 1575, another church was constructed in Brgy. Ibabao, whose remnants are still visible like the stone altar, thus mission of the religious fathers started. Balayan became the center of Christianity and cradle of civilization in the whole Southern Luzon.
In 1578, Balayan was officially establish as a Municipality in the name of the king of Spain and was founded by two Franciscan friars, Fray Esteban Ortiz and Fray Juan de Porras. The area covered what is now called the town of Nasugbu, Lian, Tuy, Calaca and Calatagan. From 1581 until 1732 Balayan became a province for 151 years.
The province of Balayan extended up to province of what Batangas, Marinduque, Mindoro, southern parts of Laguna and Quezon up to Camarines. The people had their own civilization and culture much advanced than those from other places at that time. The institutional hub of the seat of the town proper was moved and fortified from the shorelines to its present site for security purpose and haven for refuge against natural calamities as the rampaging waters and manmade hostilities brought by the Muslim attackers at that time.
In 1591, the church was constructed and blessed by. Fr. Pedro Chirino, S.J. In 1749, the construction of the stone church started. Stone walls in front of the church patio were erected to hold waters and fortress were built to ward off attackers. Some remnants of the stone walls are still visible at present. Balayan used to be a part of the Archdiocese of manila until the time the bishopric of Lipa was established. In 1795, the stone church was blessed and dedicated in honor of the Immaculate Conception, the Patroness of Balayan.
In 1838, the Municipality of Calaca was established and separated from the town of Balayan, However, the same was returned to Balayan in 1903 and re-established in 1903. In 1939, the towns of Nasugbu and Lian were established and became independent towns. However, the town of Lian was annexed to Nasugbu in 1903 until 1915. In 1845, the town of Calatagan was established and separate from Balayan but was returned to Balayan in 1903 and re-established in 1912. In 1855, barrios were established and there at least nineteen original barrios in Balayan. In 1867, the town of Tuy was established and separate from Balayan. However, it was returned to Balayan in 1903 until 1911.
With the succeeding regimes of foreign dominations and aggression of the country, the municipality has been under military occupations: First under Gen. Bell of the American expeditionary Force and during the Japanese Military occupation in 1941. After the liberation in 1945, Balayan remained as the center of trade, industry as well as education in the first district.
In not-so-distant past, Batangas Sugar Central has been established, further enhancing the development of the municipality into an agricultural community. Obviously with recently LANDCO PACIFIC, a tourist-oriented resort and STEEL CORPORATION of the Philippines, a galvanized iron cold manufacturing company, probably the biggest in Asia were among that gave additional income to Balayan. Likewise, Balayan is a co-host of the National Power Corporation Coal Thermal Plant in Calaca, Batangas for there are at least thirty five hectares of land where the said company stands.
It is our vision to see Balayan in the near future as a modern Agro-industrial community, a self-sufficient socio-economic unit providing livelihood, education, health services, food production and other needed infrastructure based on indigenous culture, local customs and traditional values.

Induction coil with electrodes for electrotherapy, England, 1900-1910
Placed on the table in the foreground is an induction coil with electrodes used for electrotherapy. Electrotherapy was used to diagnose and treat illnesses and disorders of the nerves using electricity. The coil produces electricity that is applied to the body using the electrodes. Originally owned by Alexander Bruce (1854-1911), a Scottish physician and neurologist, the coil is shown in a scene demonstrating his electrotherapy room in the early 1900s. The equipment in this photograph was set up in his house in Edinburgh, Scotland. After his death, the equipment remained unused until his son bequeathed it to the Wellcome Institute in 1968. The coil was made by Siemens Brothers and Co. Ltd.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems push auto navigation utility
1 Comment
Consider this scenario: A distracted driver is in an unfamiliar city. Rushing to an appointment, the driver is busy sending a text message. The vehicle's navigation system had earlier given an alert of the need to be in the dedicated right turn lane in the upcoming intersection where he or she needs to exit. Attempting a quick lane change, onboard sensors prevent the driver from making a careless mistake and the vehicle's ABS system, reacting to road curve data from the navigation system, slows the vehicle to a safe speed. The navigation system then provides the driver a safe alternative to reach the destination on time.
Such Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are starting to come into the mainstream, but mapping providers, such as Tele Atlas, are being taxed to furnish the required data.
ADAS is coming of age, and given the fact that about 80% of all accidents are due to human error, the need for the technology has never been greater. Drivers face increasing challenges on the roadwaysmore traffic, and more rushed, distracted drivers trying to multi-task while driving. Vehicles themselves are safer than ever with bricks-and-mortar technology like side-curtain and front airbags. Electronics are playing an increasing role in vehicle safety with probes, cameras, and sensors providing warning of danger in many situations.
Not just for location anymore
Navigation systems are becoming an increasingly important component of the vehicle's overall safety system. Navigation devices today primarily assist drivers in unfamiliar areas with clear instructions, minimizing distraction caused by searching for road signs and landmarks. Such systems also help drivers make their way through complex intersectionsgiving them adequate time to correctly position themselves to execute a turn, where, for example, multiple freeways intersect and lane choice is critical to the driver not making a sudden, potentially dangerous move to reach the desired exit ramp in time.
But providing clear directions through unfamiliar territory only knocks on the door of the potential of these systems to contribute to overall safety. Detailed information about the road itself, including precise data on the road's position, contour, and curvature, as well as dynamic traffic and road-construction information, can help provide a more complete picture of the way ahead to help drivers better understand current conditions and prepare for what is around the next corner.
In short, the ability to give the driver information about the situation at hand, to help he or she become more intimate and familiar with the surroundings, and help both driver and vehicle better react to current conditions, is the end game for ADAS. Mapping data is a critical component to reaching that goal.
Sophisticated data collection techniques
From a data collection standpoint, Tele Atlas, for instance, is geared up to provide that information with a massive effort to collect new data and update existing data for more than a million miles of North American roadways to meet ADAS standards. Tele Atlas has nearly 50 Mobile Mapping vans traversing North American, European, and Asia Pacific roadways, each equipped with at least six cameras precisely capturing data in a 360-degree range. The quality of the images is superior and highly accurate which is especially vital when measuring attributes such as the height of bridges and length of tunnels.
Unlike aerial photographs or satellite images, such Tele Atlas maps are delivered as a vector database. That means streets, landmarks and signposts are modeled as a set of precise x and y coordinate pairs that represent the position of these objects in space and their spatial relationship to one another. The end result: Precise positional accuracy of those points and more detail, such as the exact curve a road takes, to better assist the driver and vehicle systems.
The vans also capture what drivers would noticeincluding names of roads, turnoffs, landmarks, and speed limit changes. But more importantly, the vans use sophisticated electronics like 3D gyroscopes to capture slope and curvature information, bridge height and weight restrictions, tunnel restrictions, and other roadway features that could have an impact on how a driver reacts to a particular situation. Tele Atlas Mobile Mapping vans capture data quickly, traveling at posted highway speeds, with advanced back-end processing methodologies helping process and package data efficiently and accurately.
These vans, combined with the more than 50,000 independent sources Tele Atlas uses to collect and update map data globally, help ensure that changes to map information (from new streets or points of interest to changes in traffic flows, restricted maneuvers, and speed restrictions and signage), which occur at a rate of approximately 10 to 15% a year on average (and can be much higher in high-growth areas) are as current as possible.
This wealth of data, sophisticated context-specific information that can be readily integrated with on-board electronics, is already having an impact on both vehicle safety and efficiency, and is anticipated to have far reaching effects on emerging ADAS applications.

Researchers found that one in five cases of liver damage caused by a chemical derived from herbal and dietary supplements. A decade ago, only 1 in 10 cases of liver damage caused by the consumption of supplements, the researchers report in the journal Hepatology.
Now, half of adult Americans are known to consume supplements that contain ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, and protein to improve diet to improve athletic performance, the study found.
Overall, liver damage due to the consumption of one type of supplement is extremely rare. However, if overused, or used in conjunction with other supplements, or used for a very long time, or in combination with conventional drugs, supplements can be harmful.
Symptoms of liver complications generally takes several months or years to develop, and patients often do not notice until the case becomes severe. When the damage began to occur, the patient may initially often feel fatigue, itching, nausea, until then experienced jaundice, bleeding, and mental confusion. Consumers have free access to supplements, often with the promise of manufacturers to improve the health and appearance. It is very tempting because a person does not need to involve a trained health care providers and cost-effective.
Complications of supplements often not detected, because consumers do not consult a doctor while using the product. Therefore, there is no monitoring of side effects. However, not all supplements are bad. For example, many people may need supplements to address nutritional issues associated with the disease or drugs.
However, it should be understood, should not be affected in a supplement that gives excessive promises. There is no magic in a bottle of supplements. Supplements cannot build muscle by itself, could not make weight down instantly, let alone cure cancer.

Ladbrokes admits new betting website will not be ready for kick off
Ladbrokes vowed yesterday to solve its digital problems as it admitted that its new sports betting website would not be ready for the start of the football season, a crucial time of the year for bookmakers.
Richard Glynn, the chief executive, said that although the launch had been pushed back to the fourth quarter, the company had "a clear programme to deliver the new technologies over the next six months".
The group, which reported a halving in interim digital profits, last week dismissed Richard Ames, the director responsible for the success of a £50 million investment in a new technology platform. Mr Ames, who has been placed on gardening leave until the end of November, will receive a £507,000 payoff and will qualify for a…

Boeing Co. says its second-quarter profit rose almost 20 percent as it delivered more commercial airplanes. The company raised its outlook for the full year.
The big airplane maker and defense contractor also says it will not deliver as many of its new 787s and 747-8s this year as previously hoped. It now expects to deliver 25 to 30 of the planes, down from an earlier projection for as many as 40.
Boeing earned $941 million, or $1.25 per share. Revenue rose 6.2 percent to $16.54 billion. That topped the expectations of analysts surveyed by FactSet, who predicted net income of 98 cents per share on revenue of $16.47 billion.
The company raised its 2011 outlook by 10 cents to $3.90 to $4.10 per share.

Background. Breast cancer is a major public health issue and the most commonly diagnosed cancer for women worldwide. Despite lower incidence rates than those living in Western countries, breast cancer incidence among Chinese women has increased dramatically in the past 20 years. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of studies reporting the attitudes toward and practices of breast cancer screening among Chinese women. Methods. This cross-sectional study examined the practices, knowledge, and attitudes toward breast cancer screening (BCS) on a convenience sample of 400 Chinese women. Results. Among study participants, 75% of the women never had a mammogram and the top three barriers reported were low priority, feeling OK, and lack of awareness/knowledge toward breast cancer screening. The results from the logistic regression model showed increased self-efficacy; having performed monthly self-exams, and having had clinical breast exams in the past two years were significant correlates while demographic variables were not correlated with screening behaviors. Conclusion. The findings provide a foundation to better understand beliefs and practices of Chinese women toward BCS and highlight the critical need for general public, health professionals, and the health care system to work collaboratively toward improving the quality of breast cancer care in this population.

Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD. The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for

Gardening in small lots is a challenge. If it was up to me there wouldn't be a blade of grass left, but you-know-who insists on a water-guzzling, labor-intensive lawn.
But there are ways around this. Look around and chances are you can find areas that you can transform. Thinning out shrubs and removing lower limbs can open up a new bed area. If you have gobs of English ivy and monkey grass, rip it out. You'd be amazed at how much real estate they can eat up.
Nature also has a way of making space for you. At our place, the crashing demise of the neighbor's giant oak tree opened up a space full of light. After clearing out wild rose bushes, thorny vines, English ivy and monkey grass, we have a great place for a cherry tree (yes!) and a couple of new shrubs. On the shady side, I'm thinking of hydrangeas, shade-loving irises and these very cool ground cover plants from the Pendleton King Park plant swap that are looking for a new home.
Seeing how the giant oak created a major headache requiring insurance companies, tree-removal services, a roof replacement and a trip to the emergency room before it was all over, I should have hard feelings about it. But how can you fuss when the outcome is more space for flowering plants?
So, when my buddy Sheila called to say a giant tree limb crashed at our house while we were on vacation, I didn't worry. At least this time the house was left unscathed.
When we moved into our house, the tree with the giant falling branch was just a sapling. Our neighbor Becky warned me we should pull it out but I thought it would be a good thing to have a tree there to provide shade for the cars in the summer. Boy was I stupid.
The tree in question is a sweetgum. I think anyone who figures out how to kill off every Carolina cherry and sweetgum tree in Georgia should receive a medal. The sweetgum's branches are rather ungainly, its roots go everywhere and create new trees and, worst of all, it produces these ping pong ball-shaped seed pods that are spiny. These seed balls are a pain to clean up and they lurk everywhere waiting for a wrong step and twisted ankle.
So the tree has got to go. Hopefully, next week I'll be telling you, with the help of a specialist, how to spot tree problems and know when a tree has gone bad.
I was raised a tree hugger and remain one, but not all trees are equal, and sometimes even good trees go bad and need to be removed.
Even in small yards with too much space devoted to grass, there are ways to find more areas for flowers and cool plants. Sometimes you have to look hard, and sometimes a good storm brings the answer.
Now I finally have the perfect spot for the Harry Lauder's walking stick.

TAMPA - To preview the 2012 high school football season, The Tampa Tribune is counting down the top 10 teams in Hillsborough County. These preseason rankings were voted on by Tribune writer Bill Ward, high school sports editor Doug Jacobs and correspondents Mike Camunas, Jarrett Guthrie and Scott Purks. Today: Tied for No. 7 Tampa Bay Tech. In 2008, Tampa Bay Tech reached the playoffs for the first time in eight years. Since then, the Titans have been to the postseason every year and have knocked off their first-round opponent. Problem is, that's as far as the program has gotten and that has been the focus of attention all summer in TBT's training camp. "We've been district champs — been there, done that, that's great. We've been to the playoffs — been there, done that, that's great, and won a playoff game, too,'' coach Jayson Roberts said. "Now it's time for us to progress and make that next step to the third round and deeper and I feel like this is the team that will do that."Size and strength haven't been an issue in recent years at TBT. And once again, the Titans are titanic across the offensive and defensive lines. Take, for example, linemen like 6-foot-3, 320-pound Justin Edwards, Dominique Parker (6-4, 305) and Tyree St. Louis (6-5, 280), who is only a sophomore. It's the same story along TBT's defensive line, featuring athletes Rashawn Washington (6-2, 270) and Antonio Guerad (6-4, 255). And Roberts says his crew of linebackers is among his best and deepest, bookended by seniors Kenny Siplin (6-0, 200) and Sam Ellison (6-0, 235) on the outside. Following a strong showing on the junior varsity last year, sophomore Deon Cain will take over at quarterback. Meanwhile, former East Bay quarterback Tajee Fullwood (6-2, 175) has turned out to be what Roberts calls a "beast" at cornerback, but will see some action under center in certain packages. Another big-name transfer to TBT is former Middleton star receiver Richard Benjamin, a Central Florida commitment. With the return of running backs Deon Thompson and J.T. Thompkins, the Titans appear to have all the necessary ingredients to reach the heights they're aiming for in 2012. KICKOFF CLASSIC: Aug. 24 vs. Jefferson SEASON OPENER: Sept. 1 at Newsome PREVIOUS TOP 10 TEAMS: 10. Durant; 9. Sickles.

Pope Benedict XVI and the Bishops' Conference of Italy have spoken out against the assault of the Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, who was struck in the face Sunday following a rally in Milan. Italy's leader suffered two broken teeth, a minor nose fracture and cuts on his face following the attack.
According to the BBC, a man hit Belusconi in the face with a souvenir-sized replica of the city's cathedral.
In a telegram sent to Berlusconi signed by Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Holy Father expressed his "paternal closeness" and hopes for a "quick recovery."
The Italian bishops said the attack was "an episode of singular and abominable gravity. As we express our sincere closeness to Minister Berlusconi, we hope for a more serene and respectful cultural climate for our country so that the good of everyone will be realized in society and in political life."
The director of the Holy See's Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi, said the attack was "a very grave and worrisome act that manifests the real risk of violence when words are translated into actions.
"All violence must be firmly condemned immediately by all political parties and all levels of society."

Just A Bit Of Light Is Enough - Poem by Sossi Khachadourian
A bit of light will be enough
To reach again for my lost delights
With a bit of light may I can revive to get back my broken wings
With bit of light I will try
May I can fly
With bit of light may I can once again touch far skies
A bit of light may gives me the courage to scream
May I can freely cry even smile or fall
In love
Just a bit of light will be enough
To gather one more time again to put together my broken spirit
May my soul from the dark escapes free and finds the light.

Welsh sports bodies need to be ready and have the capacity for a new generation of children enthused by the Olympics, according to Sports Minister Huw Lewis.
Mr Lewis hailed the response to the London Games as "fantastic" and insisted they should be seen as a springboard for the future rather than an end in themselves.
But he warned a golden opportunity could be lost if sporting organisations weren't prepared for an influx of youngsters wanting to take up new sports after being fired up by watching Team GB stars' success over the past two weeks.
He also told the Western Mail how the Welsh Government was determined to ensure young people did not turn their back on sport once they hit they teens.
Speaking about the numbers of children wanting to learn new sports after watching the Olympics, Mr Lewis said: "It's fantastic.
Follow our in-depth Olympics coverage
"I was chatting to leading officials in Sport Wales this week about this very issue and they're getting continual and very persistent reports from sports governing bodies across Wales about the number of inquiries that they're getting in terms of gymnastics and cycling and so on.Related content
"So the Welsh governing bodies are starting to get people knocking on the door.
"And one of the very important and urgent pieces of work for Sport Wales at the moment is to make sure that those governing bodies to make sure that they do have the capacity to answer the call, so that when someone phones or e-mails or calls round at whatever sports centre or whatever facility it is, that there is someone there to pick up on it, that there is someone there who answers the query on behalf of Mr and Mrs Evans and their little daughter."
One of the things which needed to be guarded against was people getting enthused, making an approach to a governing body and not getting a response, Mr Lewis warned.
"It's incredibly important," he said.
"To have the enthusiasm wane by just not answering the door would be a great pity."
The Minister, who was in the Olympics for Dai Greene's 400m hurdles final – "we were a little bit disappointed with that, but it was a great experience and he's carried himself extraordinarily well as team captain" – said Wales' contribution to the games had been "huge and multi-faceted".
He said: "If you do the maths I'm pretty certain that the proportion of medal winners from Wales is way above the proportion of our population in the UK, so again, punching above our weight like we did in Beijing.
"But there's also the various spin-offs as well in terms of back home here in Wales, what happens next, and flagship really, I suppose, is the Gemau Cymru initiative, which is part of the Wales Inspire series of events.
"Now, that's involved 20,000 children so far, I think. It's a three-year programme, so this is post-Olympics stuff that we're looking forward to here involving huge numbers of kids in the sporting legacy of the Olympic Games.
"This is not UK-wide, this is Wales' contribution to the legacy, if you like. So that's been huge."
He also pointed to the Welsh Government's community sports strategy which it launched just prior to the Olympics – a £9m investment which will run for three years.
"Obviously it's about the encouragement of community sport in all its aspects," he said.
"One of the things I'll be particularly interested in looking at, and what we've identified as an issue that needs to be put right and to use the Olympic legacy as a way of galvanising people around that, is the number of coaches on the ground at grassroots level.
"This is not elite sport, we're talking about people who step up, volunteer within their community to actually coach whatever it might be.
"And as part of the community sports strategy there'll be grassroots encouragement for people to step forward to get themselves qualified to go through the processes they need to do whatever sport it happens to be."
Another thing the Welsh Government has done is set up a 'task and finish' group, chaired by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson on how to develop the role of schools in increasing levels of physical activity in children and young people.
Mr Lewis highlighted concerns that many young people – particularly girls – turned away from sport once they hit puberty.
"They're well researched all these problems, teenagers can be distracted by all kinds of changes going on in their lives and their social lives start to chang and so on, but also there's multiple layers of problems for girls, body image and how they might perceive sport as being not for them and something that boys do," he said.
"There have been lots and lots of initiatives to try and break through this, but I'll be very interesting in listening to what the task and finish group say. What they come back with in terms of recommendations will carry a lot of weight, I think."
But he stressed the next big test for Wales' elite athletes – the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014, where they will compete under the Welsh flag.
"This is a big psychological watershed, the Olympics," he said.
"We've been building up to this for so long and the fantastic opening ceremony and everyone throws themselves into it and so, but I can tell you that I'm encouraging everyone to see, in terms of elite sport particularly, the Olympics as not just an end in themselves but a stepping stone actually to Glasgow 2014 where of course Wales will compete in its own right."

Asked by:
Monitoring the performances of multi-instances processes
Hello all!
I have this (unsolvable) challenge for the Mgmt Pack Authoring community (the winner will have nothing but my gratitude)!
Problem Description:
1. I want to monitor the Handles Windows Perf Mon counter for 10 processes.
Each process is multi-instance.
2. Due to the multi-instance behaviour I need scripting so I choosed VbScript (PowerShell is still immature).
Unfortunately the standard Windows Performance Monitor does not support the monitoring of multi-instance processes (for further details http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/operationsmanagerauthoring/thread/afaffa52-3c69-4554-9042-4f796cfb6ac4)
3. I implement the CookDown technique in order to execute the script only once.
4. The thresholds of Handles are different process by process. Or course are commong for all the instances of each process.
5. The most important requirement of CookDown is that the script must not receive different input arugments (for further details http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/operationsmanagerauthoring/thread/9b1d61be-eee8-4c72-96d7-8765c820bc63).
6. I have one monitor for each process. Each monitor as a different Targer Class. So I have 10 processes with 10 monitors and 10 classes.
My implementation
1. I developed a Custom Data Soucr that executes the VbScript.
2. I developed a Custom Unit Monitor Type that contains that Custom Data Source.
3. I developed 10 different monitors based on the Custom Unit Monitor Type.
Each monitor has 3 Config Parameters
a. ProcessName
b. Threshold for Handles
c. Polling interval
The Execution
1. The 10 monitors are executed. They call the Custom Unit Monitor Type that calls the Custom Data Source. The script in the Custom Data Source runs one oncy only for each polling interval. It returns several property bags. One for each of my 10 processes.
2. The value for each property bag is the greater among all of the values allocated by the instances of the same process.
Example of Handles allocated for two processes:
- myprocess01.exe with 100 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#1 with 150 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#2 with 180 Handles
- myprocess02.exe with 320 Handles
- myprocess02.exe#1 with 124 Handles
- myprocess03.exe#2 with 30 Handles
Example of returned property bags:
<Property Name="myprocess01_Handles" VariantType="5">180</Property>
<Property Name="myprocess02_Handles" VariantType="5">320</Property>
3. Each monitor checks (a.k.a.: parses) each property bag in order to get the owned one. If the threshold is crossed, the monitor becomes UnHealthy.
Until here all is ok. The implementation is simple and everything works. But now I faced the following problem
1. For example I have 8 instances of MyProcess01.exe running and allocating the following performances:
- myprocess01.exe with 200 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#1 with 300 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#2 with 400 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#3 with 500 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#4 with 600 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#5 with 700 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#6 with 800 Handles
- myprocess01.exe#7 with 900 Handles
The value returned by the property bag is 900. The threshold of Handles monitor MyProcess01 is set to 450.
The threshold is crossed. The monitor becomes UnHealthy. The alert says that there is a problem of abnormal Handles allocation for (at least) one instance of myprocess01.exe process. The alert can also say, if I want, the PID of instance myprocess01.exe#7 but…here you have the swindling part…I only know the instance allocating the greater value among all. But actually I have 5 instances crossing the threshold, not only one and I am not able to list the remaining four instances.
What may I do?
1. I can list all the running instances of the process (also the ones under the threshold). Then the operator must identify by himsels the involved instances. It could be ok if I have one monitor only with once counter only. But if I have several monitors and for each monitor I have monitor several Windows Performances Counters and not only one? The workload for the operator becomes too high.
2. I can say to the operator to connect remotely to the Agent and che via Tak Manager of via Win Perf Mon…but if the monitors involved severla Agents? The workload for the operator becomes too high.
I have already tried (but in vain) to create a Diagnostic Task as follows:
Once the monitor becomes UnHealthy the VbScript Diagnostic Task receives as input argument the threshold set in the monitor. Then the VbScript looks for all the instances crossing that threshold and list them as property bag. Unfortunately the Diagnostic Task (for odd reasons) is not able to receive this kind of input argument (for further details http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/operationsmanagerauthoring/thread/cd347b82-1dd1-4085-918e-7833b0a9f8e2).
My challenge for you is: have you some idea for supplying to the operator the list of all the instances crossing the threhsolds?
All replies
One way, I can think of, is to put all the threshold-logic inside the script.
This may not be desireable if you want overrides but should work otherwise.
That way you can return two property bags, per process and it's instances, like:
myprocess01OK = 0
myprocess01Instances = "myprocess01.exe#3 500 Handles, myprocess01.exe#4 600 Handles, myprocess01.exe#5 700 Handles, myprocess01.exe#6 800 Handles, myprocess01.exe#3 900 Handles"
myprocess02OK = 1
myprocess02Instances = ""
Then use the myprocess01Instances in the Alert description.

Hi Roger and thank you for your suggestion!
Microsoft (since OM) has implemented ovverides that are so reliable, so...why do not use 'em?
No..ok...joking aside...put hardcocded thresholds normally it's avoided due to the nature of threshold themselves…I exluded this option for many reasons. Following you have some example:
1 – if you have many customers with the same processes but working with different loads you need to set different threshold. The only way to meet this goal with your suggestion should be the replication of the same Mgmt Pack for each customer. But this is not something Microsoft defines as suitable.
2 – If you want to change a threshold you must take you Mgmt Pack, modify the VbScript, re-seal it. But this is not something Microsoft defines as suitable.
3 – If you have many customer with many Mgmt Packs (Point 1) and you need to fix your VbScript code you must take all the Mgmt Packs, modify all the VbScripts, re-seal 'em. But this is not something Microsoft defines as suitable.
Thank you some much for you participation!
there are more ways to set an override than through scom. We used to hack into mom scripts to make them look in the registry to look for overrides. Mainly because we (as in mom admins) didn't want to make overrides for common overridable parameters and didn't wanna give these rights to admins in the tooling.
if no entries were found in the registry a default will be used. So you still have a single scripted solution (1 mp/script) and can make overrides per computer (or even process, whatever you script and what to make "overridable"). The override need to be made at the computer though instead of the scom console (of course you can create a task to set the registry key).
i realize this is far from optimal as well, but it might be suitable for what your trying to accomplish.
Rob Korving
Hi Rob and thank you for have joined this discussion.
Actually also your solution fits all the requirement but, still, is far from meeting the mysterious and enigmatic Microsoft Guide-lines and Best Practices that (sometime such for this case) are seasonable.
Below I explain why.
When you start monitoring (for example) 6 customers (so different among them that it is not possibile to fix common thresholds) all of them with running the huge application (so huge that at most it requires four MSCS 2003 and two IIS – exluding the clients) your company develops you will need to write each Agent registry the 10 thresholds (one for each monitor) for 6 times. In detail this means do the following:
- Select the first class of the ten classes
- Select the the first Path of the 6 available
- Select the Task for setting the threshold
- Set the threshold
- Launch the Task
- Wait for the output
…back to Point 2 and select the next Agent. Do this until the sixth one
…back to Point 1 and select the next Class. Do this until the tenth one.
Now you have happily finished!
Think the load you have if you need 30 monitors. Think if you need also monitoring Private Bytes, Virtual Bytes, Threads.
I can grant you that if you submit to Microsoft a Mgmt Pack with this solution to be analized they will answer you that it does not meet the Guide-lines and Best Practices.
Thank you, Rob!
Let me add a couple of new limits I thought in these hours:
1. It is not valid to create from scratch some logic that:
a. for some business cycle collects performance data
b. calculate the averages
c. set them somewhere to be read by the Custom DataSource VbScript
Reason: it is not acceptable that you lose time developing tools for developing monitors. You must use you times for developing monitors only.
2. It is not valid to create any sort derivative logic. In other words it is not valid create a VbScript that:
a. the first time reads the current values and stores them somewhere
b. the second time reads the current values and if they are greater than the first time stores them and increases a counter
c. the third time reads the current values and if they are greater than the second time stores them and increases the counter
…this for, for example, 5 times
d. when the counter reaches 5 the monitor turns UnHealthy until the current values are under the thresholds, the counter is set to 0 and the monitors turn Healthy.
Reason: it is not acceptable that you lose time developing complex tools for simple monitoring.
Microsoft officially gives you Self Tuning Threshold monitors (also if Microsoft suggest againt their use and anyway they are bugged and won't be fixed) for monitoring single-instance processes. Why should not give you Self Tuning Threshold monitors for multi-instance processes?
You pay for having a complete ITIL OpsMgmt Process implementation, not a lame one!!!
I can grant you that if you submit to Microsoft a Mgmt Pack with this solution to be analized they will answer you that it does not meet the Guide-lines and Best Practices.
I'll return them the question why their mp's never seem to follow their own guidelines. i can give numerous examples of this unfortunately.
This is load on an agent and not on the mg and a few reg-queries shouldn't be that much of a problem. It's a lot better to change a registry key on 1 server than set an override to a specific object, but have the override distributed to the entire class and have the agent figure out that it's an override for this agent or not. in fact i think this is the biggest issue with SCOM, crappy config distribution that doesn't scale well because all goes through the rms and millions of blogpost all to limit the data, but that's all just workarounds for their flawed design (so done my flaming for today as well).
Rob Korving
You said: "I'll return them the question why their mp's never seem to follow their own guidelines. i can give numerous examples of this unfortunately."
I did it many times. The most funny answer has been "If you feel SCOM does not work, change product."
Anyway...lemme back to the challenge.
The biggest point I have against your suggestion is not that the reg queries are a problem from a workload point of view but are a problem from the operator point of view. The operator would need to spend hours in executing configuration / customization tasks instead than monitoring the environment...
i said to have a default, but to have a script check a key to make a customization possible. With a task in scom to set that key to make the operator's life easy.
Config you will always have as like you said not all environments are the same.
Rob Korving
Just curious, what do you mean by "due to multi-instance behavior" way at the top of this discussion?
This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Use of included script samples are subject to the terms specified at http://www.microsoft.com/info/cpyright.htm
Take a look at System.LogicalSet.ExpressionFilter. Here's an example: http://blogs.technet.com/b/momteam/archive/2010/10/04/unit-monitors-for-multi-instance-perfmon-counters.aspx
HTH, Jonathan Almquist - MSFT
Hi Ake,
how you can read in the opening post with multi instance I mean any Win Perf Mon counter having instances with same name but with the #1, #2, etc. postfix in order to distinguish them amon each other.
For example:
Multi Instance with same name: the object 'Process'. (Launch two ore more notepad and you'll see)
Multi Instance with different name: the object 'LogicalDisk'. You have _Total and one instance for each logical disk. You canno have two disks with same name.
Hi Jonathan.
I hope this is not the answer for me... :-)
The whole Sad SCOM World knows that this does not work with if I want monitor the e.g. PrivateBytes of two processes called both MyProcess.exe.
If you read my other posts you can check it. If it is not enough I can supply an official position of Microsoft about this point.
For native module, this is probably the closest you're going to get. Otherwise you will need to get creative and develop your own composite. We cover about 99% of all monitoring scenarios with our native modules, so this is probably that 1% where you'll need to dig in deep and utilize your scripting and authoring skills.
Good luck to you!
HTH, Jonathan Almquist - MSFT
Hi Elizabeth,
You should try returning multiple property bags instead of one property bag witih the last item for each process in the list. This way you can have all of the process instances to work with instead of one row of data for each.
Microsoft Corporation
As you seem to be pretty at-ease with MP-development, I'll keep this one short.
You could add a property to your bag containing a nicely formatted text string with all the "above-threshold processes" and include that into the alert. This is assuming that you return one propertybag for each process and have an expressionfilter of sorts between your probe and your DS-output.

Paisley's job means funding gay groups
Authorising £180,000 in equality aid among new duties
Ian Paisley's Stormont department will be distributing £180,000 over the next year to gay and bisexual groups, the Belfast Telegraph can reveal today.
The DUP leader, who once led a "Save Ulster from Sodomy" campaign, is to take the top post next week at the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) - the Department responsible for equality issues in Northern Ireland.
As part of its equality work, OFMDFM has earmarked grant-aid to support lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
This funding package was launched by Secretary of State Peter Hain last year and involves the department working closely with the Coalition on Sexual Orientation, which represents a number of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender groups.
A spokesman for OFMDFM said it will be providing £180,000 during the current financial year, 2007-08.
Money provided under the initiative in 2006-07 totalled £50,000.
The departmental spokesman added: "The funding is to enable the Coalition on Sexual Orientation to build the capacity and infrastructure of the sector to promote equality, improve community relations and the social inclusion of lesbian/gay/bisexual people."
OFMDFM is also finalising a sexual orientation strategy and action plan, which is due to be published this summer.
The Stormont department will be headed from next Tuesday by First Minister the Rev Ian Paisley and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.
Mr Paisley founded the "Save Ulster from Sodomy" campaign in the late 1970s in an unsuccessful bid to prevent the decriminalisation of gay sex acts in Northern Ireland.
He is also the Moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church, which preaches that homosexuality is evil.
Incoming DUP Culture Minister Edwin Poots faced controversy this week over grant-aid to the annual Belfast Gay Pride festival.
Two Free Presbyterian Church ministers spoke out over this funding.
Mr Poots, who has strongly opposed recent gay rights legislation, signalled that he would not intervene on the matter and would not have a direct input on such grant issues.
He also stated that he will be required to comply with equality legislation, adding: "There is little point making decisions that will end up being overturned in a court of law."

Greece, Over 42 migrants have drowned overnight in two separate shipwrecks in the Aegean Sea.
One boat sank at the coast of the small Greek islet of Kalolimnos, in which 34 people were killed, including 11 children and another incident took place in the island of Farmakonisi killing eight people.
26 people were rescued from Kalolimnos, and 34 bodies had been recovered out of which 16 are women, 11 children and seven men.
It is estimated that nearly 100 people were on the boat,and the search is continuing for more survivors.
Out of 48 people from the boat of Farmakonisi. 40 made it to shore and one girl was rescued, but the bodies of six children and one woman were found.
Last year over a millions of migrants have arrived in Europe in which more than 700 died while crossing from Turkey to Greece.
German and Turkish leaders had a joint cabinet meeting in Berlin on Friday on a big topic "How to tackle Europe's migrant crisis?"
EU leaders have pledged 3 billion euros to Ankara to help care for Syrian refugees, as part of measures aimed at reducing the numbers leaving Turkey and heading for Europe.

'I'm finished with all this nonsense' – Lance Armstrong gives up fight to clear name
In the end, even Lance Armstrong, renowned for overcoming cancer and for winning the Tour de France a record seven times, lost the will to fight any longer.
On Thursday evening in the United States, Armstrong finally called time on the seemingly neverending struggle to clear his name, effectively throwing in the towel in his battle with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
"There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say enough is enough," Armstrong said in a statement. "For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999."
The USADA said yesterday that it had stripped Armstrong of the Tour titles he won…

Publicity campaign 'trivialises' Y2K
A Ł9.4m publicity campaign to reassure the public that there is nothing to fear from the millennium bug has been dismissed as a waste of money.
But Taskforce 2000, the independent bug-watch organisation, claimed the 24-page leaflet "trivialised" the issue and did not address the more long-term concerns arising from the Y2K problem.
However, Commons leader, Margaret Beckett said the 24-page booklet would separate the millennium bug facts from the fiction.
Industry and individuals have also been striving to neutralise the potential threat to their computers from Y2K.
Mrs Beckett, said: "A huge amount of work has been done in this country to prepare for the millennium bug and we are not expecting any significant problems over that period as a result of the bug.
"Everyone can be confident that the UK is as well prepared as any country in the world.
"People stockpiling food could cause shortages and we do not need that."
'Not a good use of money'
But Taskforce 2000 director Robin Guenier said: "I think to be spending nearly Ł10m of taxpayers money to reassure people and to cause them not to panic when nobody is panicking or needs reassurance is not a good use of that money."
Mr Guenier stressed that a "significant number" of big businesses were planning for the short-term problem at midnight on 31 December 1999.
"For example, supermarkets are going to be well stocked up with food for the period, but if there are failures among seed growers, manufacturers, shippers, packers and aircraft, there is the possibility of food supplies getting into some serious muddle as we go further into the new year," he said.
"It may be that the real task isn't what happens on 1 January, but 1 March."
Mr Guenier said Taskforce 2000, which was set up by the last Tory government, also feared international banks might suffer from problems associated with the millennium bug.
But Gwynneth Flower, managing director of the rival Action 2000 group, said it was right to reassure people and prevent them putting extra strain on certain key services.
She said: "This leaflet helps consumers to understand the myths about the millennium bug.
"The end of the year is a time for celebration, not for unnecessary worry.
"Banks are not going to lose your financial records and your central heating will come on."

- Release Date: 2/18/2003

New Era was created with the inspirations of various styles and genres of music in mind. With luke's love of music and interest in technology, 'New Era' is very fitting for the theme of futuristic. Luke Waier is a young musician/composer in the Kansas City, Missouri area. Luke spent one busy summer creating New Era at the age of 16, and is now distributing it. Luke has been involved with music for as long as he can remember. As a baby, Luke would have headphones placed on his head with classical music playing to help him sleep.

Luke plans to attend Music Tech College in Saint Paul, Minnesota after highschool, but first, he will release his next CD.

SACRAMENTO (AP) — California's unemployment rate has dropped to 12 percent, but the number of payroll jobs in the state in March also fell from the previous month.
Brad Kemp Of Beacon Economics Talks To KNX 1070
The report Friday by the state Employment Development Department showed the jobless rate was down slightly from February. The rate for the same period a year ago was 12.4 percent.
But the total number of payroll jobs in California declined by 11,600 from February to March, with only four out of 11 industry sectors adding jobs. The state has added more than 188,000 jobs since March 2010, according to a survey of employers.
The March number represented the third decline in a row for the state's jobless rate.

Councillors are calling for cash from the sale of land linked to a green field housing development to be invested back into a market town.
Leeds City Council looks set for a windfall from the sale of land at Meagill Rise in Otley.
The plot of land would form the access into a planned development at Rumplecroft.
Coun Ryk Downes (Lib Dem, Otley and Yeadon) said: "We oppose housing on this green field site.
"But if the council is to make money from the sale of it, then we believe that money should be spent on things which will benefit the people of Otley."

Paul faces Bubble in eviction vote
Big Brother contestants Paul and Bubble are waiting to find out which one of them will be the fourth person evicted from the house.
The public voting closes on Friday night, when either computer designer Paul Clarke, 25, or warehouse operative Bubble, real name also Paul, 24, will be booted out.
It is the first time Bubble has been nominated. Paul, on the other hand, has faced eviction twice before.
But Paul took the news of his third nomination in his stride, when it was announced on Tuesday. Bubble, however, said he was "gutted" by the news.
Still, the latest odds from Big Brother's official bookmakers, Paddy Power, put Paul as the overwhelming favourite to go. His odds stand at 1-8 on for eviction while Bubble's are on 9-2 against.
Paul was saved from eviction for a second time last week when up against medical rep Narinder Kaur.
More than two thirds of the 1.2 million members of the public who voted between Tuesday and Friday wanted Narinder out.
This week, he was nominated again by six of the remaining eight housemates. Bubble was voted for by three people.
The housemates gave different reasons for voting for Paul. Amma called him "over excitable" and said that he "could be annoying sometimes".
Josh told Big Brother that Paul was "the person that winds me up the most".
Bubble was voted for by Helen. She said: "We don't get on that well."
Paul also chose Bubble. He said: "He is the loudest, which could cause a problem later on."
But bookmakers consider Bubble to be favourite to win the overall contest and Ł70,000 prize-money.
It has been an eventful week for Bubble. On Monday night he joined a Tai Chi exercise session in the garden with Dean, Elizabeth, Josh, and Amma.
After 20-minutes of tuition he seemed to be getting used to activity, until he spotted the reflection of his stomach.
He decided he needed to lose some weight. Yet, it did not stop him trying to break the record for eating the most sweetcorn kernels in three minutes.
Bubble was required to eat 169 kernels in three minutes. Despite falling short by just four he did set a new UK record in the process.
The record attempt were part of this week's Big Brother challenge, officiated over by adjudicators from the Guinness Book of World Records.
Dean's challenge was building a giant sugar cube tower over the world record of 1.02m.
He had two hours to complete his tower and did so, reaching 1.20m with an hour to spare.

Report: U.S. poverty rate at highest level since 1993
Posted on by Phillip Neal, World Vision U.S. Programs in U.S. Programs
For some time now, the struggling U.S. economy has dominated headlines and shaped conversation among Americans. New data released Tuesday in a report from the U.S. Census Bureau, "Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States (pdf)," paints an even starker picture of the challenges our nation faces:
- The U.S. poverty rate rose to 15.1 percent in 2010 -- up from 14.3 percent in 2009, and to its highest level since 1993.
- About 46.2 million people are now considered in poverty -- 2.6 million more than last year. That's nearly 1 in 6 people.
- More Americans were living in poverty in 2010 than at any time since at least the 1950s.
- The situation has hit black populations the hardest, with their poverty rate rising from 25.8 percent to 27.4 percent.
- Meanwhile, child poverty rose from 20.7 percent to 22 percent.

Scalp Stress
My hair is extremely rough, split-ended, and crinkly, but my scalp is like an oil mine! If I wash my hair on a Wednesday morning, it's greasy and oily by Thursday afternoon. My mom told me to keep conditioner off the roots and only apply it to the ends, which I tried, but that hasn't really helped. Is there any way for me to keep my hair soft and un-crinkly without making my scalp any oilier?
Expert Advice From Nelson: Be sure to keep conditioner off of the scalp and use a scalp shampoo to cleanse. Refrain from washing hair every day,which makes the scalp dry and then it overproduces oil.

The Queen of England today approved legislation legalizing same-sex marriage, the last formal step in their legislative process. But couples will have to wait until 2014 to get married. The country already has civil partnerships. Churches will not have to conduct those weddings if they do not want to.
The law will allow same-sex couples to marry in religious services where the religious organization has "opted in" as well as at civil ceremonies. Couples with civil partnerships will be able to convert them into marriages and people in heterosexual marriages will be able to change gender and stay married.
Well done, England and Wales!

It was gratifying to witness Christine O'Donnell win the Delaware republican primary over the socialist Mike Castle. The tea party has become a force to reckon with, and RINO's are becoming an endangered species.
We conservatives who have given money to the Republican Party in the past finally feel vindicated. I stopped donating to the NRSC ever since the usual suspects in the establishment, backed candidates such as Lincoln Chaffee and Arlen Specter over their conservative rivals. I said no more after that.
The Washington insiders are quaking in their boots. The days of the elites looking down their noses at us plebeians is over.
The GOP establishment is taking the defeat of their chosen candidate hard. The realization of losing power over the electorate has stunned them, and their reaction to O'Donnell's win is telling. Fox News Reports:
Republican aides told Fox News Tuesday that the National Republican Senatorial Committee will not be funding O'Donnell's general election campaign, leaving it up to Palin and the Tea Party Express to do the heavy lifting.
The NRSC issued a terse statement congratulating O'Donnell for her nomination "after a hard-fought primary campaign."
The Tea Party Express said it hoped the National Republican Senatorial Committee would reconsider its decision not to support O'Donnell.
"We encourage the NRSC to take a night off, get some sleep, and reconsider their rash statements," Tea Party Express spokesman Levi Russell said in a written statement.
"Wake up NRSC," he added. "The reason the Tea Party movement has grown into such a powerful force is because of the failures of establishment organizations such as yours to honor the principles of the Republican Party platform."You tried to force through the most liberal Republican in Congress on the voters of Delaware and they rejected you."
The NRSC finally acquiesced and will support Christine O'Donnell; to do otherwise would be financial suicide. The days of wine and roses are over for the GOP establishment. No longer will the tail wag this dog.

Scouting Report : Early look at the 49ers
A quick take on the Jets' upcoming opponent, the 49ers (2-1) :
1. The 49ers will arrive at MetLife Stadium after a brutal 24-13 loss to the Vikings -- arguably the worst loss under Jim Harbaugh. They allowed 146 rushing yards (the previous high under Harbaugh was 124) and committed three turnovers (previous high: two).
2. To help get acclimated to East Coast time, the 49ers went from Minneapolis to Youngstown, Ohio, where they will practice for the week. They did the same thing last year after a win in Cincinnati, and they wound up rallying to beat the Eagles in Philly.
3. QB Alex Smith had thrown a franchise-record 249 straight passes without an interception before tossing a late pick last week. That's pretty impressive, considering some of the quarterbacks that have played for the Niners. Montana, anyone? Young?
4. The 49ers excel in two areas causing problems for the Jets: They can run the ball (No. 7 in rushing, 141 yards per game) and they stop the run (No. 8, 91 yards per game).
5. The 49ers are 9-2 all time against the Jets, including 5-1 on the road.
6. Darrelle Revis' season-ending knee injury means we don't get to see another Revis-Randy Moss battle. They developed quite a personal rivalry between 2007 and 2010, with Revis famously calling Moss "a slouch." According to SFGate.com, Moss was disappointed to hear about the injury. Ive always been a fan of Darrelle Revis," he said. "Ive always liked competing against Darrelle Revis ... Ive always put him in an upper-echelon class of cornerbacks, if the not the best cornerback in the league.
7. Smith has more weapons now that they've added Moss and former Giants WR Mario Manningham, who join RB Frank Gore, TE Vernon Davis and WR Michael Crabtree. The Jets tried to trade for Crabtree during his rookie holdout in 2009, and they were accused by the Niners of tampering. They were exonerated.
8. The 49ers' defense, led by LB Patrick Willis and DE Justin Smith, is stacked. It might be the best in the league.
