Glory 17: Filip Verlinden Knows The Fight Life
- Published in Glory
Filip Verlinden knows the fight life. Growing up as the son of a champion kickboxer, it's second nature to him. While some might think professionally he entered the game late, whether fighting as an amateur or a professional, he been at it as long as he can remember. It was at age twenty-six that he decided to fully commit to kickboxing as a career and it's been nothing but up for "The Belgian Bull". Training with his father, Wim, as well as at Hemmers Gym, Filip has captured the IFMA Muay Thai Heavyweight World Champion title in 2010 and racked up countless other wins.Now ranked at #4, Saturday, June 21, 2014, he will be a participant at Glory's inaugural PPV event, The Last Man Standing where he will face Melvin Manhoef in the first round.
They say, "It's the quiet ones you have to watch", this is definitely the case with Filip. He's not the loud guy or the trash talker, he simply comes to the ring to do his job. His strengths include strong boxing skills and speed but these are just two of the tools that he uses to help him accomplish his goal. In The Last Man Standing tournament he will enter the ring coming off a win against Israel Adesanya at Glory 15 in Istanbul and he feels optimistic. He is a renewed man, now fighting at middleweight Filip feels he has found his niche. Maintaining his weight, he states has been no problem and actually that he feels more comfortable at 185. Whether he remains in the fight world steadily climbing the ranks at Glory, he states there is nothing else he would rather do. Even if he were not fighting professionally, Filip states that he's sure his job would be something related if nothing more than fighting at an amateur level or being a trainer. Focused is the zone he is currently in.
Both he and his trainer, Nick Hemmers state he has worked very hard to prepare for this fight and his mind is honed strictly on Manhoef, his first opponent. His plans for any of the other fighters will be based solely on how the other matches develop. Like most fighters, Filip states that he has no particular opponent that he would like to face and will do his best to prepare for whoever he is matched up with. Filip shares the enthusiasm of all the fighters and staff at Glory regarding this PPV event as well as Glory's goal to make kickboxing as popular in America as it is in Holland and Japan.
To his fans around the world, Filip expresses extreme gratitude for their support and that he will continue to put his best foot forward both inside the ring and outside as an ambassador for the sport. If you are ever looking to meet Filip, you might catch him watching a musical which he states he enjoys immensely!

By Ben Levisohn
In a week that was dominated by the discussion surrounding the minutes from the FOMC's July meeting, the Dow Jones Industrials fell 0.5% to $15,010 and extending its slide to a third week, the longest since November. The S&P 500, however, gained 0.5% to 1,663.50, ending its two-week losing streak.
The mixed market is a perfect symbol of the confusion in the market right now. Will the Fed begin tapering in September or in December? Will rising Treasury yields be good or bad for the stock market? Are stocks expensive or cheap?
None of those questions were answered this week, and don't expect much to change next week either. Earnings season, for all intents and purposes is over. Wall Street is on vacation. Even the Fed's annual conclave at Jackson Hole this weekend, which in past years has been the precipitating event that sent stocks shooting higher in 2011, could be a nonevent with a lame-duck Ben Bernanke taking a pass on speaking this year.
So where might markets be headed? How about nowhere? Citigroup's Tobias Levkovich explains:
We believe that 2H13 may prove more challenging for equities given optimistic back half Street EPS estimates that may need trimming, the impact of likely Fed tapering and a search for new sector leadership. Credit conditions are not sending warning signs weaker emerging economies and Europe are holding back the hoped for second half market leadership handoff from US-oriented names to more global cyclical ones…Valuation remains attractive, while implied long-term earnings growth expectations have stayed subdued. Buyback activity has stepped up and money has begun to flow into equity funds. Hence, the market may be range-bound until year-end, but the index could hit 1,825 by mid-2014. Accordingly, we remain generally constructive with some nearer term caution.
Despite the defensive tone to the market, however, defensive sectors underperformed. Consumer staples, for instance, were the worst performing sector this week, as Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) fell 2.6% to $36.28 and Kroger (KR) dropped 1.9% to $37.53.
The best-performing sector, meanwhile was the "riskier" materials, which gained 1%. The sector was led higher by coal-miner Consol Energy (CNX), which gained 8.1% to 33.23 this week, and Dow Chemical (DOW) which rose 5% to $38.74.
AMR (AAMRQ) bounced back a bit this week. Its shares gained 15% after losing more than half its value last week. After the close today, the judge who will preside over the trial said he will hold a scheduling hearing next week. AMR wants it to start in November; the Justice Department in February 2014

3.3: Protein Synthesis and Gene Expression
How do you build a protein?
Your body needs proteins to create muscles, regulate chemical reactions, transport oxygen, and perform other important tasks in your body. But how are these proteins built? They are made up of units called amino acids. Just like there are only a few types of blocks in a set, there are a limited number of amino acids. But there are many different ways in which they can be combined.
Introduction to Protein Synthesis
The DNA sequence contains the instructions to place units called amino acids into a specific order. When these amino acid are assembled in that specific order, proteins are made. In short, DNA contains the instructions to create proteins. Each strand of DNA has many separate sequences that code for a specific protein. Insulin is an example of a protein made by your cells (Figure below). Units of DNA that contain code for the creation of a protein are called genes.
Insulin. Each blue or purple bead represents a different amino acid.
Cells Can Turn Genes On or Off
There are about 22,000 genes in every human cell. Does every human cell have the same genes? Yes. Does every human cell make the same proteins? No. In a multicellular organism, such as us, cells have specific functions because they have different proteins. They have different proteins because different genes are expressed in different cell types.
Imagine that all of your genes are "turned off." Each cell type only "turns on" (or expresses) the genes that have the code for the proteins it needs to use. So different cell types "turn on" different genes, allowing different proteins to be made. This gives different cell types different functions.
- amino acid: Building blocks of proteins.
- gene: Unit of DNA that contains code for the creation of one protein.
- gene expression: Process of using a gene to make a gene product.
- DNA contains the instructions to assemble amino acids in a specific order to make protein.
- Each cell type only "turns on" (or expresses) the genes that have the code for the proteins it needs to use.

*******The NFL is a Coaches League*******
Just let it rollover to the offseason. No point spending anymore, we are what we are, and we'll need an offseason to add more.
And if it was a dollar or $20M, it would mean nothing.
I'm no cap expert but it seems every year were around the same amount but really have very little talent to show for it while somebody like the Eagles has over 20 mill in space. Is this because we have so much dead cap space or what? Is it going to get to a point where we will have to gut almost any high dollar contract and start from scratch? I remember a few years ago the 49ers were in cap hell and they gutted the thing and now seems to be on the right track. I keep reading that were going to have a lot of cap space next year but we also have people like Bush, Sean Smith, Starks, Hartline and Jake Long to re-sign which will eat into a lot of that extra money. Maybe I'm wrong but I think all these misses in FA and even draft has hurt our Cap situation because of all of the dead money we carry over year after year. Anybody with knowledge that wants to chime in would be great.
My prediction is dont expect huge FA spending. I could see us get Jennings and not much else and everything will be draft and keeping good character hard workiing types who get the offense and defense set ups.
I HATE to post a Jets site but, it is the best I've found on our cap. As you will see, dead money is not a real big issue. Other than Danby, who'se salary goes down by $3M next year, there are no high priced players who are nor FA next year. We do not have many cheap rookie deals, which does really hurt.

Assistant coaching
During his final eight seasons in the NFL (1994–2001), Harbaugh was an NCAA-certified unpaid assistant coach under his father, Jack, at Western Kentucky University. Serving as an offensive consultant, he scouted and recruited high school student-athletes throughout several states including Florida, Indiana and Illinois. He was involved in recruiting 17 players on WKU's 2002 Division I-AA national champion team. His father was a football coach for 18 years, including 14 years as head coach at WKU.
Harbaugh was an assistant coach with the Oakland Raiders in 2002–2003. In 2002 he was an offensive assistant coach, and in 2003 he was the quarterbacks coach.
I would figure recruiting for a college team as an active NFL player would be obviously against the rules.
Why is that exactly? Maybe if he was recruiting for Michigan during dead periods or something, but if he was listed as on the staff at WKU, why wouldn't be be allowed to recruit like any other assistant?
Slippery slope. Whats the difference between alma mater and any other school? (thats what they would say)
He was unpaid and just recruited for them. That would be like LSU having Shaq in his prime to go on the road recruiting for basketball for us. Or Patrick Peterson going to all the best DB's houses in the country and convincing them to go to LSU. What if Peyton Manning recruited for UT?
I just thought that was illegal
What authority would the NCAA have to tell Shaq he can't talk to a HS kid about playing at LSU?
but I promise you we would be better off not paying Patrick Peterson and having him recruit for us than paying Ensminger to be lazy and do jack shite.
Is there an example of someone doing this other than a guy working for his dad at a small school he didn't attend preparing for his future career?
I would think LSU and other big schools can afford to have a full staff of coaches and wouldn't waste one of those spots on an "unpaid assistant" that was a former player that is a now a star in the pros to gain some theoretical recruiting advantage.
Even if all he does is BBQ, that's just an anecdotal example. Most big schools I'm sure would not waste a coaching spot to have a former player as an unpaid assistant to help recruit as an end around some NCAA restriction. And I don't think it would be that big of an advantage anyway.
UT really, REALLY needed a QB and the #1 guy in the country is coming up next year. Why not ask Peyton (big time presence as an alum) to call him and make some in-home visits?
You brought up the BBQ, not me

Family: Anatidae, Ducks and Geese view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has yellow bill and green, shiny head and upper neck that are separated from chestnut breast by striking white collar. Underparts are gray-brown, except for black vent and white tail. Back is gray-brown, grading to a more reddish brown. Legs and feet are orange. In eclipse plumage, male resembles an adult female, but note yellow bill color and well-defined reddish brown breast. ADULT FEMALE Has orange-brown bill and mottled brown plumage. Legs and feet are dull orange-yellow. JUVENILE Similar to adult female.
Dimensions Length: 18-27" (46-69 cm)
Habitat Found virtually throughout the region, favoring almost every habitat where water is present, with the exception of the highest mountains and northernmost tundra. Commonest on lowland lakes, rivers, and marshes, but will also thrive on ornamental lakes in urban areas, where it often becomes tame. Most Canadian birds move south, or to the coast, in winter.
Observation Tips Easy to find throughout the region. Identification of the male is straightforward, except in eclipse plumage, when it resembles a female. Female could be confused with females of other larger dabbling ducks, but for much of year females seen in company of males.
Range Southwest, Western Canada, California, Southeast, Great Lakes, Texas, Alaska, Florida, Northwest, Plains, Rocky Mountains, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada
Voice Male utters range of whistles and nasal calls. Female utters familiar quacking calls.
Discussion The most widespread and familiar duck in the region: there are few sizeable water bodies that lack their quota of resident Mallards. Feeds mainly on aquatic vegetation, and some invertebrates, by dabbling and, if necessary, upending in shallows. In flight, both sexes show a white-bordered blue speculum. Sexes are dissimilar: male has colorful elements to its plumage, while female's subdued brown coloration affords it excellent camouflage when nesting.

Last Sunday's "Parade" had an interesting clip in the "Ask Marilyn" column.
A reader asked if all the money in the world were equally distributed to everyone on the planet how much would each person get? Marilyn used the M3, which it noted included more than just currency, which indicated that there is $60 trillion of money in the world, with 6.8 billion people.
If it were equally divided, it would come out to roughly $9000 per person.
This is great food for thought. If you and I and Bill Gates (all his $ would be thrown into the pot), got $9000 out of the deal we'd probably not be happy about it. However, someone living in Sudan or some other similarly poor country would have been given a fortune in their economic framework.
And, I would think that within an hour after the distribution was complete, the wealth would again start re-distributing itself. The industrious Sudanese would buy themselves something to generate ongoing income, like a plow (if there is farmland) or a cow to sell milk.
It might be more difficult to imagine what would happen in a country like the U.S., but I don't see the creative, industrious individuals not finding a way to provide a product or service to someone else to begin changing the balance again.
Interesting to think of the scenario if the redistribution were limited to the U.S. (or any other developed country). There would be more wealth and fewer recipients, but the net result might not be very different than imagined on a world-wide basis.
Is this why income redistribution, as in a communist country, ends up with the wealth still being unequally distributed in spite of the ideology?

Despite overwhelming support among lawmakers and activists, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed legislation that would have made Arizona the second state to officially define gold and silver as legal tender. The GOP governor acknowledged that concerns over the increasingly unstable U.S. dollar were justified. However, citing a minuscule projected drop in tax revenue and other trivial excuses, Brewer refused to support the popular bill. Activists are now hoping lawmakers will try to override the governor.
In an open letter about the veto of SB 1439 to Arizona Senate President Andy Biggs, the governor claimed that alleged "administrative and fiscal burdens" for taxpayers and the state revenue department "remain vague." In addition, Brewer cited an example of her supposed confusion, claiming it was "unclear" whether the measure would have required Arizona to exempt income tax related to a transaction with collectible coins or currency originally authorized by Congress and used as legal tender.
"This would result in lost revenue to the state, while giving businesses that buy and sell collectable coins or currency originally authorized by Congress an unfair tax advantage," Brewer wrote in explaining her controversial decision, which sparked an outcry among conservatives and sound-money advocates. Despite the supposed worry over "lost revenue," however, experts said the legislation was unlikely to have any significant impact on the state budget — especially not if, as critics of the bill alleged, few people were interested in using sound money anyway.
Still, Brewer did suggest that she understood growing nationwide fears surrounding the Federal Reserve System, inflation, and wild federal spending. "While I believe the concern over a devalued dollar as a result of an unsustainable federal deficit is justified, I am unable to support this legislation," she wrote. "I believe the provisions in this legislation need to be more carefully examined and there should be prior coordination with those government agencies tasked with oversight of these transactions."

Generally, those seeking a Private Rehab in Montana for substance abuse are looking for certain things that cannot be found in a typical residential drug or alcohol treatment facility. A private rehab is considered one that is usually fully or partially covered by private insurance, or will be paid for out-of-pocket. In addition, almost all private rehabs generally try to stay away from the "clinical" hospital feel found in other programs. So, whether you are looking for Private Alcohol Rehab Centers in Montana, Private Drug Rehabilitation in Montana or the best drug rehab center in Montana there are a few things to consider.
The most important thing to understand is that you have choices in choosing any type of Luxury or Private Rehab in Montana.
Luxury Rehab in Montana: These types of facilities are considered very high end facilities. The amenities may include a private room, luxurious settings, sober companions, as well as non-standard program enhancements. It is not uncommon to find equine therapy, yoga, or even gourmet chefs within a luxury rehab. In addition, the clients are usually not required to perfom "chores" as is standard in non-luxury rehabs. A Luxury Rehab in Montana is generally more expensive than a run of the mill treatment center.
Non-traditional Rehab in Montana: The majority of treatment facilities found in Montana are considered to be standard 28-day 12-step model (or Minnesota model) facilities. Although effective for many people, there are those who do not feel comfortable in a traditional 12-step environment, and are seeking other means to recover. A Cognitive, Holistic, or even Faith-based facility could fall into the category of a non-traditional rehab. Generally speaking non-traditional rehabs are not covered by insurance, although there are some exceptions.
Enhanced traditional facility in Montana: These types of facilities may contain a traditional 12-step approach, but may incorporate many additional aspects to their program. In additoin, an enhanced traditional facility may have a higher degree of client specific customization. In other words, they may try and stay away from the "cookie cutter" approach found in other programs.
Ultra Private Rehab in Montana: Although every rehab facility must follow confidentiality laws, there are those that do not wish to attend a treatment facility with a large population of clients. An ultra-private facility has an enhanced foxus on guarding the individual privacy of their clients. Generally, these types of programs have a very limited number of beds (5-10), but have a very high professional to client ratio. In some cases, the number of doctors is greater than the actual clients.
Using a database of treatment centers, we can offer free advice to those seeking help for their addictions and would like more information on various Private Rehabs in Montana.

Do it yourself Tiramisu, really!
Tiramisu is one of those desserts that has been gaining in popularity in recent years. My first experience with this coffee infused, creamy delight was from a vendor at Italy, at Disney World's Epcot. Once tasted, I was hooked. It was heavenly.
But could I make it myself? Why not?
You will need a double boiler and approx. 3 quart size spring form pan or Trifle type glass bowl. You could also do it individually in pretty stemmed glasses.
Here is the recipe* I used, along with my comments in italics.
Classic Tiramisu ~ Serves 10 - 12
The Ingredients:
6 egg yolks (you may freeze and save the egg whites for future desserts such as Schaum Torte)
1 1/4 C sugar
1/1/4 C mascarpone cheese**
1 3/4 C heavy whipping cream - I used 2 Cups (1 pint) total of regular pasteurized, NOT ULTRA pasteurized, saving some for garnish.
2 packages of Lady Fingers - 6 oz total
1/3 C coffee liqueur - I used 1 T coffee liqueur + brewed espresso to make 1/2 cup total liquid
Sweetened whipped cream for garnish
Unsweetened cocoa powder for garnish
Chocolate curls for garnish
The Procedure:
- Place bowl you plan to whip the cream in, in the refrigerator. A chilled bowl and beaters (you will put those in later) are essential for whipping cream successfully!
- Combine the egg yolks and sugar and whip until thick and lemon colored, about 1 minute.
- Place sugar/egg mixture in the top of a double boiler over boiling water.
- Reduce the heat to low immediately and cook 8 - 10 minutes, while stirring constantly! I use a silicone rubber scraper to stir, that way you completely scrape the bottom of the pan with each swipe.
- Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
- Add the mascarpone cheese and beat well.
- Wash off beaters and place in refrigerator to chill a bit.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over-whip or you will make butter. Having the cream, bowl and beaters very cold helps prevent this. Save about 1 1/4 Cups of the whipped cream for garnish.
- Fold the majority of the whipped cream into the cooled egg yolk mixture and set aside. I usually first put a little whipped cream into the yolks/cheese and fold to soften the mixture, then fold in the rest of the whipped cream.
- Add about 1 to 2 Tablespoons of confectioners sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the reserved whipped cream and whip just until mixed. Refrigerate and save this for the garnish.
Assembling the Tiramisu:
- Open the lady finger packages and split the fingers apart.
- Line the bottom and sides of a 3-quart bowl or spring form with the ladyfingers, uncut side out.
- Brush cut edges of ladyfingers with the coffee mixture
- Spoon half of the egg yolk/cream mixture into the ladyfinger pan/bowl.
- Repeat, placing more ladyfingers on top of the 1st layer of egg/cream, espresso, and remaining egg/cream mixture. Smooth out top surface.
- Put unsweetened cocoa into a small sieve and evenly sprinkle on top of Tiramisu.
- Pile the sweetened whipped cream in the center or in dollops on each individual serving. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired. I like Dove brand dark chocolate bars for this. Curls work better when chocolate is at room temperature. Use a potato peeler to run down edge of chocolate bar.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap (don't let wrap touch top) and put into refrigerator.
Serving Tiramisu:
Some people slice it like a cheesecake; some spoon it like a Trifle. It is rather dependent on which type of pan/bowl you assemble it in. If you have stemware, it could be assembled for individual servings in goblets.
We found out the Tiramisu was actually better the next day. The ladyfingers soaked up the moisture and developed a melt in your mouth texture. If delaying serving, you may wish to wait to garnish with the whipped cream and sprinkle with the cocoa and choc. shavings until the day of serving.
So give Tiramisu a try. I have made it twice. It usually commands a high price when at a restaurant and frankly, it is still pretty expensive to make at home. The mascarpone cheese is pricey, about $8.00, as are the ladyfingers. But considering the cost per slice at a restaurant runs $5 - $8, making it yourself is still cheaper. (I purchased the mascarapone cheese and ladyfingers at Grasch Foods. Once I even found the cheese at ALDI!)
Cost saving measures:
The ladyfinger package I purchased also included a do it yourself mascarpone cheese substitute recipe, but I have not tried it. It calls for 1 8oz package of cream cheese, 1/4 C sour cream and 2 Tablespoons of whipping cream. Mix until blended and fluffy. If I ever try the homemade, I will try to post a review.
For an alternative for ladyfingers, I'm thinking you could make your own sponge cake, bake in a jelly roll pan, and slice up into strips? Maybe it could be baked in round cake pans and layered as a torte? There is an easy recipe in Betty Crocker for a sponge cake cake roll. I think that would work great. A Tiramisu cake roll? Maybe next time!
Buon Appetito!
*I looked on the Internet, found a recipe, and purchased the ingredients. But when I really read through the recipe, it seemed a bit out of order. It called for whipping the egg yolks after cooking! How would that work? Must be a mistake.
There was a recipe on the ladyfinger package that affirmed my suspicions--the Internet recipe was incorrect. (I would have made the ladyfingers too but was pressed for time.) The ingredients were identical to the Internet version, just the procedure was different.

An arteriogram is an imaging test that uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the arteries. It can be used to view arteries in the heart, brain, kidney, and other parts of the body.
The procedure is often called angiography.
Related tests include:
Angiogram; Angiography
The test is done in a medical facility designed to perform this test. The exact procedure depends on the part of the body being examined.
You may medicine to help you relax.
For most tests:
How you should prepare depends on the part of the body being examined. Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking certain drugs that could affect the test. In most cases, you may not be able to eat or drink anything for a few hours before the test.
You may have some discomfort from a needle stick. You may feel symptoms such as flushing in the face or other parts of the body. The exact symptoms will depend on the part of the body being examined.
If you had an injection in your groin area, you will usually be asked to lie flat on your back for a few hours after the test. This is to help avoid bleeding. Lying flat may be uncomfortable for some people.
An arteriogram is done to see how blood moves through the arteries. It is also used to check for blocked or damaged arteries. In some cases, treatments can be done at the same time as an arteriogram.
The risks depend on the type of arteriogram performed. Talk to your doctor about the risks involved before you have the test.

Although women are highly revered in Tantra, most sacred texts are written with male practitioners in mind. Mark Michaels and Patricia Johnson, authors of The Essence of Tantric Sexuality, explore this paradox of the sexes and delve deeper into the spiritual history of the male and female roles in Tantric lovemaking.

6.15: Locating Earthquake Epicenters
Can you find an earthquake epicenter?
The epicenter of the 2011 Japan earthquake was just offshore of Sendai where the Pacific Plate plunges into a subduction zone. The quake had a relatively shallow depth of 20 miles (32 km). Remember that shallow quakes typically cause the most damage. How do scientists find an earthquake epicenter?
Finding the Epicenter
Here are the steps to finding an earthquake epicenter using three seismograms:
1. Determine the epicenter distance from three different seismographs. The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the farther away is the epicenter. So the difference in the P- and S-wave arrival times determines the distance between the epicenter and a seismometer.
This animation shows how to determine distance using P, S, and surface waves: http://www.iris.edu/hq/files/programs/education_and_outreach/aotm/12/IRIStravelTime_Bounce_480.mov.
2. Draw a circle with a radius equal to the distance from the epicenter for that seismograph. The epicenter is somewhere along that circle. Do this for three locations. Using data from two seismographs, the two circles will intercept at two points. A third circle will intercept the other two circles at a single point. This point is the earthquake epicenter (Figure below).
Three circles drawn from three seismic stations each equal to the radius from the station to the epicenter of the quake will intercept at the actual epicenter.
Seismic stations record ten earthquakes in this animation: http://www.iris.edu/hq/files/programs/education_and_outreach/aotm/12/TravelTime_Sphere_10Stn_480.mov.
Of course, it's been a long time since scientists drew circles to locate an earthquake epicenter. This is all done digitally now. but it's a great way to learn the basics of how locating an epicenter works.
- To find an earthquake epicenter you need at least three seismographs.
- Find the distance from each seismograph to the earthquake epicenter.
- The interception of the three circles is the epicenter.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. What is a seismogram?
2. What waves does a seismogram show?
3. What is the S-P interval?
4. How many data stations are required to determine the epicenter?
5. What is triangulation?
1. How do you determine the distance from the seismograph to the earthquake epicenter?
2. How do you find the epicenter from three seismographs? What if you have more seismographs involved?
3. In what circumstance would three seismographs not give you enough information to find an earthquake epicenter?

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:06 PM GMT on June 10, 2011
The powerful winds that have fanned Arizona's massive Wallow fire into the state's second largest fire on record will remain relatively modest on Friday, and the forecast for Eastern Arizona calls for afternoon winds of just 10 - 15 mph. On Thursday, Luna, New Mexico, located about 50 miles northeast of the fire, had sustained winds that peaked at just 12 mph, with gusts to 22. These are the lightest afternoon winds the fire region has seen all week, though firefighting efforts were hindered by very low relative humidities that reached 5% on Thursday. Firefighters were able to make progress Thursday, and the Wallow fire is now 5% contained. Unfortunately, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center forecasts that critical fire conditions will return on Saturday and Sunday, with strong southwest winds of 15 - 20 mph, gusting to 35 mph. The return of critical fire conditions this weekend means that the Wallow fire will likely become Arizona's largest wildfire in history, a distinction currently held by the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski fire (732 square miles.) The Wallow fire has grown steadily from 300 square miles on Sunday to 603 square miles on Thursday--about 50% of the size of Rhode Island.
Figure 1. Smoke from Arizona fires, including the Wallow Fire, continued traveling toward the northeast on June 8, 2011. As the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite acquired this natural-color image at 12:10 Central Daylight Time, thick smoke stretched from New Mexico and Texas northeastward to Illinois.

94L bringing heavy rains to the Bahamas
The large, disorganized tropical disturbance (94L) that brought heavy rains to Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti early this week reorganized slightly overnight, and is now bringing heavy rains to the Bahama Islands. The storm killed at least 23 people in Haiti earlier this week, due to torrential flooding rains. Satellite-estimated rainfall amounts indicate 8 -10 inches of rain fell over Haiti's southwestern peninsula this week. None of the reliable computer models is showing development of 94L into a tropical depression, and NHC is giving the disturbance a 10% chance of developing by Sunday. Wind shear is a high 20 - 30 knots in the region between Cuba and South Carolina, making development unlikely. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, none of the reliable computer models is predicting tropical cyclone development over the next seven days.
Figure 2. Morning satellite image of Hurricane Adrian taken at 10:15am EDT June 10, 2011.
Annular Adrian becomes the first major hurricane of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season
Hurricane Adrian put on an impressive bout of rapid intensification Thursday, intensifying into the season's first major hurricane in the Eastern Pacific. Adrian is the globe's 6th Category 4 or stronger tropical cyclone of the year. Adrian is expected to remain far enough offshore the coast of Mexico to not pose a threat to that country. Gradual weakening is likely through the weekend, since Adrian will be tracking over cooler ocean waters. Adrian's decay will be slower than usual for a hurricane, since it has become what is called an annular hurricane. Annular hurricanes feature a large eye surrounded by a very thick eyewall, with no spiral rain bands. The very thick eyewall makes annular hurricanes resistant to weakening due to wind shear, dry air, or cool waters. Annular hurricanes are rare; only 3% of all Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones become annular, and 1% of all Atlantic ones.
A record 100-year flood on the Missouri River
The greatest flood in recorded history is occurring along sections of the Missouri River, which runs from Montana to St. Louis, Missouri. On Thursday, the river hit 28.0' feet at Williston, North Dakota, surpassing the record flood height set in 1912. The river is expected to continue to rise to 1.4' above the 1912 mark by Tuesday. This week, the Missouri River at Omaha, Nebraska surpassed the level set during the great 1993 flood, and the river's height is currently the 2nd greatest on record, 9' below the mark set in 1952. Water releases at the six flood control dams on the Missouri River are now at more than double their previous all-time highs; these dams were built between 1940 and 1964. This great 100-year flood on the Missouri River is just beginning, and is likely to cause major damage over the next few weeks.
Have a great weekend everyone, and I'll be back Monday with a new post.

Boundary fencing has become a compulsory task for most of the home owners in Parramatta. Insecurity has become a big risk and everyone wants the safest and most secure boundary fencing around their house. There are a lot of options and a whole list of materials that can be used for boundary fencing. These materials include steel, wrought iron, wood, vinyl and aluminium. All of these materials have their own features that make them suitable to certain conditions.
You need to plan properly before choosing any specific kind of boundary fencing. Make sure that you are choosing an appropriate boundary fencing in Parramatta that not only provides you with required security features but should also enhance the overall home exterior.
Vinyl is another very reliable material which is extremely durable and can do well in harsh weather. It is also best for frosty weather and is rust resistant. Vinyl is durable and there is almost zero maintenance. These are the things you should always keep in mind while choosing boundary fencing in Parramatta.
"The level of service we received was very refreshing. We would recommend them to other customers. Keep up the good work."

Family: Betulaceae, Birch view all from this family
Description Speckled alder is usually a large shrub but sometimes may attain a height of 20 ft. and a diameter of 4 to 5 in. It is exceedingly common along streams or swamps of the northeast. The leaves are alternate, 2 to 4 in. long, broadly elliptical to oval, and coarsely doubly serrate, almost to the point of being lobed. The woody cones are persistent until the following season and may usually be seen on the twigs. Perhaps the best feature for recognizing this species is the plainly visible triangular pith (in cross section). This alder growing in such abundance along streams serves to protect the banks from excessive erosion and also furnishes cover for small game birds. It ranges from Newfoundland to northwestern Canada, south to Pennsylvania and Nebraska.
Habitat Swamps (fresh & salt), Watersides (fresh).
Range Rocky Mountains, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, California, Great Lakes, Northwest, New England, Plains, Southwest, Alaska, Mid-Atlantic.

Our crew officially began production for the upcoming PBS Arts documentary, "Homecoming," featuring Mezzo Soprano and Kansas City native Joyce DiDonato, Maestro Michael Stern and the Kansas City Symphony.
The first seconds of footage were caputured in New York City where Joyce is finishing her run at the Met in the opera "The Enchanted Island."
We spent a beautiful evening with Joyce and her family, Paul Flaherty and nephew Brendan, who made the trip from Kansas City to celebrate Joyce's final performance. 18 year old Brendan warned his star aunt that he would be vying for screen time and has promised to be looking quite dashing for his first visit to the Met.
They let our crew tag along for a siteseeing trip across the Brooklyn Bridge, where the views of Manhattan are spectacular. Joyce, who is also an avid photographer snapped away wildly taking every opportunity to catch both the beauty of the view and good old fashioned family vacation pics. We hope to get some of those pictures and post them here.
Joyce couldn't have been more amazing to work with, even giving us a little vocal entertainment for our tour with her own rendition of the favorite Bee Gees hit, "Staying Alive!"

Bonsoir Limpe
Ah!! Those photos are absolutely out of this world.....
What I see and hear is: Peace and nature's sounds.....
( Okay it' cold here and it's getting to me!!!!)
Welcome Limpe!
On the 2Wt mostly roach and all the species that are related to them.
I'm sorry but i don't know the english names for the other fish..
You won't find any trout or grayling in the streams, altough there have been some projects on trying to keep those species...
Since our streams don't have a gravel bottom but a sandy bottom those species don't spawn...
But we catch rainbow trouts in reservoirs, mostly a boring form of flyfishing wich i seldom practice..the roach and all the species that come with them give good sport, besides that there's the sport on locating them and practicing stealth fishery, wich i really like, besides, it helped me spot bonefish and succesfully catch them on my first ever non-guided trip...
On the bigger rivers a newly discovered sportfish is an aspius aspius(latin name) (again, i don't know the english name..), once in a while ( most people do not report the catch of a salmon, i guess they take em home and frie em...one of the reasons there's not a kept record on those captures) )some salmon is hooked, but not on a regular basis, i guess there's enough to do round here...
So..i pays to sneak up to our local fish...
I'd be happy to post some on this kind of flyfishing, spring and summer is coming..
The lack of finding trout is compensated by travelling to belgium ( a 2 hour drive) where there are some small trout and grayling to be caught, no big fish however...
A popular species is a form a bass, to be caught nearby the sea and in harbours, besides that compared to the power of a bonefish or another high-rated sportfish there's not much to do round here, in terms of heavily fisghting fish that is..
Wintertime is for flyfishing for pike, tying flies and travelling to tropical destinations...and spitting trough forums like these to find new DIY destinations for bonefishing....
|Welcome to the forum Limpe. Those are some great pics! What do you fish for with the 2 wt?
Hello Juro,
This picture was taken in Bonaire, one of the ABC islands that together form the Dutch Antilles, as described by my fishing-buddy Marco in this topic .
It was the day of our arrival, since we got off the plain really early we decided to pack our gear and start exploring...in the days before the wind was gone, the day after we arrived the wind started blowing again....bummer...
Too bad that fishing on this spot is prohibited, such a shame, cuz some really big bones where to be seen over there, only in the mornings and evenings during a full moon...
Neverthenless, we had a good trip!
One more....man i keep dreaming about this..
Look what i found....
As i said, wind started blowing...
Some gear...
Nooooo, don't swim into those.....
That's such an inviting photo. Where is it taken... should there be some tails waving or it is in the Netherlands?
Been reading some topics for a week or so..forgot to introduce myself..
Flyfisher from the Netherlands, fish mostly in small streams with an occasional trip to the sea.
Tie my own flies, from small classic dries to hefty epoxy streamers.
Hooked on flyfishing and everything related to it for two years and a half now.
So far visited some countries, Norway, Denmark, Belgium,France but the thing that has made the biggest impression is the power of the ilusive bonefish, yet fishing with a #2 rod on the local streams is where most of the spare time goes.
Handling rods varying from a 6Ft #2 to a Double hander#10, still learning, hope i'm never done learning...what a great forum!
Flawless Flat...a dream come true...

Fluffy Cubes
Well, I finally got the bit between my teeth and tried to work out how to properly support Dual Heads for my screensaver. After much struggling I stumbled on a solution that seems to work great. I can span both monitors, and select to use the main display only. But... When using the main display the second monitor fades to black, and then back to white. This has really pissed me off, and for the life of me I can't work out. The only GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT clearing I'm doing is with black, so God only knows why this sub view pops back to white.
I've googled but can't find much that seems useful...
I've been debugging this for about three hours now, as I have a feeling that the second monitor fading to white is about as useless as not having the option at all. On the plus side, it is running a hell of a lot faster on dual heads than it was. I doubt this will be good enough though... :-)

Tom Dahill (vocals, guitar, accordion, and fiddle, Uilleann Pipes) Ginny Johnson (tin whistle, guitar, concertina).Tom Dahill and Ginny Johnson are superb entertainers with a fantastic repertoire of old Irish songs and dance tunes that you won't hear from anyone else. They have command of many instruments between them, Irish button accordion, concertina,uilleann pipes, fiddle, whistle, bodhran, guitar and they sort of juggle these instruments between them to suit the sounds to fit the venue as they go along through their performances. This is the music that is part of the soul of Ireland.
Ginny is a fine step dancer and can, if persuaded, hop up and add steps to a jig, reel or hornpipe. She can also 'call a ceili', that is, organize an Irish county dance for festive groups of people.

TUPELO – U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge James Graves made history when he became the first African-American judge from Mississippi named to that court, and his legal career will be recognized with the Mississippi Trailblazer of the Decade award.
Graves will be honored at the annual Mississippi Trailblazers Awards Ceremony and Black Tie Gala at Tupelo's BancorpSouth Conference Center on May 4.
Since 2003, The Mississippi Trailblazers Awards has recognized Mississippians for their significant contributions to racial, gender and cultural diversity through their professional work and public service.
A Clinton native, Judge Graves served on the Mississippi Supreme Court before his appointment to the 5th Circuit.
The Mississippi Trailblazers will also mark its 10th anniversary by simultaneously honoring three Mississippians who have made significant impact on their state's difficult journey toward racial diversity and reconciliation: Ole Miss Chancellor Emeritus Robert C. Khayat and the Rt. Revs. Duncan M. Gray Jr. and Duncan M. Gray III. The father and son Grays, who have both served as bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi, will receive the first Dr. Robert C. Khayat Distinguished Award for Diversity and Racial Reconciliation.
In October 1962, Rev. Duncan Gray Jr. – then rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Oxford – stood against violent rioters on the Ole Miss campus who were protesting James Meredith's enrollment into the university as its first black student. Fifty years later, Gray III helped conceive the "A Day of Remembrance" program to commemorate Meredith's historical enrollment. Both Grays have made racial reconciliation a life mission.
The Grays, both of Jackson, are the second father and son to be recognized by the Mississippi Trailblazers, following Tupelo's Jack Reed Sr. and Jr., who were honored in 2005 and 2011, respectively.
Under Khayat's leadership, Ole Miss came to terms with its turbulent history. Part of his legacy is a monument centrally located on campus depicting Meredith walking through the door of segregation.
Other members of the Mississippi Trailblazers Class of 2013 include:
• Dr. David Cole of Fulton, retiring president of Itawamba Community College and former chief of staff to Gov. Ronnie Musgrove – Mississippi Leadership Award.
• Allegra Brigham of Columbus, former interim president of Mississippi University for Women, civic and business leader – Rep. Leonard Morris Award for Public Service and Integrity.
• Chief Phyllis Anderson of Red Water, chief of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians – Sam Haskell Spirit of America Award.
• Denotee Martin of New Albany, philanthropist, business leader – Rev. Robert Jamison Lifetime Achievement Award.
• Pastor Charles Penson and Dr. Cheryl Penson of Tupelo, religious, community and education leaders – Tupelo Trailblazers.
• Glenn McCullough Jr. of Tupelo, former mayor of Tupelo and former chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority – Tupelo Trailblazer of the Decade.
• Mary Werner of Saltillo, business and civic leader, first female chair of the Community Development Foundation – Mississippi Trailblazers Legacy Award.
• Alivia Paden Roberts of Shannon, 2013 Miss Teen Tupelo, Honors Student, Youth Missionary – Mississippi Trailblazers Promising Youth Award.
Previous Mississippi Trailblazers recipients include Maj. Gen. Augustus Leon Collins, Mississippi adjutant general; Blake Wilson, president of the Mississippi Economic Council; Dr. Dolphus Weary, Mission Mississippi chairman emeritus; Percy Watson, former chairman of the Mississippi House Ways and Means Committee; Dr. Katrina Poe, 2005 Country Doctor of the Year; and Sam Haskell, international entertainment executive and best-selling author.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of First Solar (FSLR) are giving back some of yesterday's 45% gain in pre-market trading, down $2.11, over 5%, at $37.24. There are no ratings changes, that I can see, this morning, but there is a disparity of opinion on the Street this morning about the company's announcement of 2013, 2014, and 2015 financial targets that surpassed Street estimates.
On the bull side, Lazard Capital's Snajay Shrestha reiterates a Buy rating, and a $45 price target, "Our most significant takeaway from yesterday's event was that the company has assembled a strong team capable of executing on its cost road map while opening new sustainable markets."
Jefferies & Co.'s Scott Reynolds, on the other hand, reiterates a Hold rating, and a $30 price target, writing that "While we remain bullish about the company's LT positioning, the guidance increase is largely a revenue pull-in from 2015 on a change in accounting. We continue to see FSLR as the best house in a bad neighborhood, however we don't believe the outlook has radically changed to prompt the move."
On CNBC this morning, Jim Cramer, reviewing the First Solar presentation, argued that the story is "China has walked away from solar," and that First Solar has stepped into the vacuum with a less costly, more efficient module. "This is a fascinating play that probably is overdone, but First Solar was on everybody's lips."
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up 74 cents at $427.72, continuing pre-market gains, despite a negative article this morning by Reuters's Clare Jim stating that manufacturing partner Hon Hai Precision saw a Q1 revenue decline of 19%, which one analyst, KGI Securities's Ming-chi Kuo, attributed to a greater-than-expected "correction" in iPhone sales.
Perhaps helping shares, Wells Fargo's Maynard Um this morning reiterates an Outperform rating on Apple shares, writing that while both fiscal Q2 and Q3 (March and June) results could come in below his own estimates, "iPhone expectations are likely already tempered," and baked into the stock, in his opinion, while "sentiment should improve post-earnings into a new iPhone launch, improving gross margins particularly with easing yr/yr compares in the back half and, with any luck, reset Street estimates."
Shares of Facebook (FB) are up 75 cents, or 2.8%, at $27.34, following a report this morning by The Wall Street Journal's Jeff Bennett stating that General Motors (GM) has resumed advertising on the site, at least on a "trial basis," after quite publicly walking away last summer. "The Detroit auto maker said it has begun a "test" marketing program for its Chevrolet Sonic sub-compact using a mobile advertising approach provided through Facebook," writes Jeff.
Shares of International Business Machines (IBM) get an upgrade to Buy from Neutral by UBS's Steve Milunovich, who raises his price target to $235 from $210, writing "We think IBM is well positioned for the coming computing era because (1) integrated vendors do well early in a tech transition; (2) most of the near-term action will be in private cloud, IBM's strength; and (3) IBM's hosting capability and support of OpenStack will be helpful later in the wave."
IBM stock is up up $2.42, or 1%, at $211.64.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) are up 31 cents, or 1%, at $29.92, as the stock gets another vote of confidence this morning following a steady move upward in yesterday's session, with a report this morning from Citigroup's Walter Pritchard, who reiterates a Buy rating and a $35 price target, writing that although he's cutting his fiscal Q3 revenue estimate by $300 million, to reflect the weak PC market, "We continue to expect solid performance from the company's enterprise tools driven by recent product cycle (Win Server, SQL, MBD Server products) and push of premium SKUs."

What pisses me off is that exact thing. I can think of 10 Defensive Players across the league that should have been in the conversation and those guys actually scored TOUCHDOWNS! not just tipped ball INT's.
The Heisman final selection or lack thereof, was completely pathetic. Only 3 real finalist!? Seriously?
Manatee on any other team, as you said, would have never been heard of.

I just wanted to give a heartfelt thanks and kudos to the Decipher staff for taking this action. Bravo.

Introduction to Git
[ By Kate Hedstrom ]
A colleague and I used to argue the merits of RCS vs. SCCS for maintaining source code. We then migrated to CVS then SVN and currently have an SVN site at Rutgers. Each transition was a step forward for the better. But what about the future? Does SVN have any shortcomings that have been bugging you?
I'll tell you about one that's been bugging me. My colleague and I both have write permission on our SVN server, him on the trunk, me on a branch. However, most of the people downloading our code see it as a read-only site. This is great for software (such as svn) in which the average user is not expected to change anything or contribute patches. However, we are dealing with a complex ocean model in which the average user will at least be changing a few files for setting cpp choices. The above average user might be changing quite a few files, adding new capabilities, etc. If these people want to save their own revision history, they can set up a private svn repository, but any given sandbox directory can only have one parent repository - either their own or the Rutgers one. If they aren't saving their own changes, they are subject to all kinds of unsafe surprises whenever they do "svn update" from us. Even I keep two directories going, one pointing to the trunk and the other pointing to my branch.
So how to solve this problem? Linus Torvalds got so fed-up with his options for developing the Linux kernel that he wrote a new distributed version control system, called Git. It is available from http://git-scm.com/, including a documentation page pointing to all sorts of available resources. There's even a YouTube video of Linus himself ranting about these issues. The various tutorials listed are perhaps more useful, plus I am enjoying "Pragmatic Version Control Using Git" by Travis Swicegood. For the O'Reilly fans out there, a new bat book is in the works, called "Version Control with Git" by Jon Loeliger.
How does Git solve your problems, you ask? Both CVS and SVN have centralized repositories from which one or many people can check out the code. Git has a new-to-me concept of distributed repositories, something I'm sure I still don't entirely comprehend. The repository itself is a binary database, so the files are compressed. Each time you do a checkout (git clone) from someone, you obtain a copy of the entire repository, giving you the entire history right there at your fingertips. Git was designed to be fast since the Linux kernel is quite large. The Linux kernel also has many, many people working on it in a cooperative manner; Git was designed to help them rather than hinder them. SVN advertises that it makes branching easy - Git advertises that it makes both branching and merging easy.
For those of us with one foot still in the past, Git provides interface tools for both SVN and CVS repositories. In other words, my local Git sandbox can be pointed to an SVN server and do uploads and downloads using the SVN protocol. It can then be pointed to a different SVN server - from the same sandbox! Magic!
How can two people use Git to work on the same project? Each person would have their own Git sandbox with the entire repository in it. If person A makes a change, person B could do a "git fetch" or "git pull" to get the changes. Person B then adjusts those changes and makes some new ones. Person A then does a "git pull" from B's repository. These could be simply files on the same machine in which they both have accounts, or there are ways to set up public read-only servers via http or the git protocol. Changes that don't work out can be kept in a branch, but never "pushed", or they can be made to disappear completely as long as you haven't yet shared them with anyone.
Finally, git frees us from the "revision number" concept. It instead signs each view of the repository with a cryptographically sound "SHA1" string, encoding the time and owner, etc. of that repository. An example SHA1 is 152aee0b44a104b07d40f4401e5f1ea1ea2fe1b0, guaranteed to be unique among all git repositories.
I'd like to thank Brian Powell for showing me the way of the Git.
Fortran Optimization on Pingo
[ By Lee Higbie ]
The following article is excerpted from paper presented at CUG09, available here: Paper: http://www.arsc.edu/files/arsc/news/HPCnews/misc/misc404/CompilerComparePaperCray2.pdf Slides: http://www.arsc.edu/files/arsc/news/HPCnews/misc/misc404/CUGSlides.pdf
The usual approach to comparing Fortran compilers has been to evaluate the execution speed of programs, which is usually the measure of interest. However, measurements of entire programs provides little insight for a person trying to optimize his or her code (and little useful information for compiler writers who want to improve their optimizers). Furthermore, the effects of compiler optimization options are sometimes surprising. To demonstrate and explore these effects, I created a program with 708 small code snippets that are individually timed. The graphs on the web site above show comparative performance for the four Pingo/Ognip compilers both to themselves (*IntraComp.jpg) and to the PGI compiler (*InterComp.jpg).
Each graph is a semi-log plot of the execution times of a group of loops. In the intra-compiler graphs, negative values (points below the main part of the graph) show faster operation with high optimization and positive values indicate that "optimization" produced slower-running code. For the inter-compiler comparisons, negative points represent slower execution of the PGI-compiled code than on the other code. Positive values indicate PGI's executable was faster.
Looking at the intra-compiler graphs it is apparent that most compilers did not produce much better code for these loops when asked to optimize the compilation (for Cray "-fast" means -O3 -O vector3 -O scalar3; for Gnu it means -O5; for PathScale -O3 -Ofast -ffast-math; for PGI -O3 -fast). The one exception is the PathScale compiler. Its yellow line is often well below the x axis.
It is also clear that the "high" optimization settings produced slower running code much of the time for all four compilers. For the person trying to produce the fastest-running executable possible, this means that experimentation with optimization is necessary, at least for the hot-spot routines. Some of the specific loops that produce the largest timing swings are shown in CUGSlides.pdf, at the web site mentioned. All the loops are shown in the sourceCode directory.
Because the PGI compiler is the default on Pingo, the other compilers were compared to it, using default optimization and high optimization. On the graphs, the blue, red and yellow lines are for default optimization and the green, rust and light blue are for high optimization. To me there appears to be little to say one is better than another. On any specific loop, one compiler may produce faster running code, but the overall performance looks like a toss-up. As before, if you want to produce the shortest possible run time, then you should experiment with the different compilers.
The CUGSlides.pdf file shows a few of the loops that produced the largest inter-compiler time swings and the sourceCode directory has all the code for each loop. The CUG paper, CompilerComparePaperCray2.pdf at the website, gives more details of the procedure.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Is there a way to get the processor count for a PBS job on the Cray [[ XT5? On midnight I use something like this to get the processor count [[ for my PBS job: [[ [[ NP=$( cat $PBS_NODEFILE | wc -l ) [[ mpirun -np $NP ./a.out [[ [[ When I tried this on pingo, $NP is always set to 1. Why is that? Is [[ there anyway to get the value of "mppwidth" from my PBS script so I can [[ use that value with aprun? [[ [[ e.g. [[ NP=??? [[ aprun -n $NP ./a.out [[ [[ Currently I'm creating a different script for each processor count (i.e. [[ mppwidth value) and it's driving me crazy! # # Don Bahls submitted the following solution, using qstat to gather the # compute node count missing from $PBS_NODEFILE: # You can do this by running qstat on the job from within the script. PBS sets the $PBS_JOBID variable to the job id for the job. e.g. # bash syntax NP=$( qstat -f $PBS_JOBID | grep mppwidth | awk -F '= ' '{print $2}' ) Here's a complete script: #!/bin/bash #PBS -l mppwidth=16 #PBS -l walltime=1:00 #PBS -j oe #PBS -q standard cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR # run qstat on this job to read the mppwidth value. # NP=$( qstat -f $PBS_JOBID | grep mppwidth | awk -F '= ' '{print $2}' ) aprun -n $NP ./a.out You can do something similar for mppdepth, etc if you happen to use those Cray options. Q: I just exceeded my $HOME directory quota. I would like to move some files to my $ARCHIVE_HOME directory to make room, but I'm not sure where to start. Is there some command I can use to help me free up space by moving files I haven't used in a while?
