text: Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE: TER) announces the release of its new Real Time Audit (RTA) Tool for the UltraFLEX platform. The software toolset is aimed at helping semiconductor manufacturers drive towards a zero DPPM (defective parts per million) metric which is now demanded by manufacturers of high-volume complex consumer goods including smartphones and tablets. A successful model of a mobile device can ship in excess of 100M units per year, and each smartphone has over 10 complex SOC devices. If each of those devices is tested thoroughly enough to ensure only 100 defect units escape per million devices sold (100 DPPM), the smartphone manufacturer could still end up with 100,000 defective phones and tens of millions dollars of lost revenue. Therefore, leading mobile device manufacturers have begun to demand lower and lower defect rates from semiconductor suppliers. One possible source of these defects is overstressing the device during the test process due to incorrect programming of the ATE instrumentation. Due to the complexity of today's test programs, static code analysis is not always able to catch these types of errors. RTA allows test engineers to specify safe device-specific operating conditions limits for each pin in the device. When auditing is turned on, RTA will monitor the state of the device pins and the ATE to make sure those rules are not violated. Auditing can be done on sample lots prior to production or during production using random sampling. "RTA was developed in partnership with one of our major customers to help them continue to improve their product quality levels," said Roy Chorev, Software Marketing Manager, Teradyne. "By adding RTA execution to their verification flows, this customer has been able to catch programming mistakes, prevent defect escapes and drive DPPM lower." About Teradyne Teradyne (NYSE:TER) is a leading supplier of Automatic Test Equipment used to test semiconductors, wireless products, data storage and complex electronic systems which serve consumer, communications, industrial and government customers. In 2013, Teradyne had sales of $1.43 billion and employs approximately 3,800 people worldwide. For more information, visit www.teradyne.com.

Insulation for walls in South Florida
I live in South Florida . In the middle of installing a tankless hot water heater I found wet dry wall and pulled it all out . My question is since I live in South Florida do I need insulation in the walls . I have insulation in the attic . But would I need it for the walls and if so what kind would I need .
Insulation works in all climates.
Unfaced fiberglass is probably your most readily available insulation and will work just fine.
Get the high density version.
#1 Why was the insulation wet?
Unless your whole house is under ground then it should be insulated.
How else would you keep cold air in and hot air out in the summer.
Amber: If you run air conditioning and have a vapor barrier on the inside of your walls (plastic sheathing, visqueen, poly) you may have wet insulation because the moist outside air has been condensing on the poly (poly is cold when you run the A/C). That is a huge problem sometimes, and it may be wise to investigate your whole house for wet insulation. If everywhere else is dry, then look for some kind of leak in the present area. If the whole house is wet, you've got some real work to do to pull the poly (if that is the problem; get expert help if the whole house is wet).

The Last Child Support Check

So I call my baby girl, LaKeesha, to come to my
house, and when she get here, I say, "Baby girl, I
want you to take this check over to yo momma house and
tell her this be the last check she ever be gettin'
from me, and I want you to come back and tell me the
'spression on yo mama's face."
So my baby girl she take the check over to her. I be
anxious to hear what she say and what she look like.

Chief filleter at Ocean Fresh Seafoods Shane Robinson knows his sharks and he knows what he likes.
"Blacktip shark is the best shark,'' he said. ''I come from NZ, where there are a lot of greyboy shark. roughskin is also very popular. It's a good firm fish.''
But when you're ordering your flake, soon it might be gummy shark or nothing.
Seafood Services Australia is calling for public submissions on its new amendment, designed to stop fishy labeling of ''flake'' in fish and chip shops. They want all flake to be gummy shark or New Zealand rig.
"What we're doing is trying to bring some definition into the business here," said chairman of the Australian Fish Names Committee Roy Palmer.
"Anyone who is involved in the business understands that gummy shark is the best you can have for your fish and chips," he said. "There's nothing better."
But Canberran fish retailers say it's not as simple as that. Ocean Fresh Seafoods owner Nathan Munro said getting gummy shark in the ACT was very difficult.
"It's not a well-known fish in Canberra," he said.
"We really like mako. It presents so well. Angel shark's great for a take away."
"It's a Victorian fish," said John Kalogris, who owns Sea Harvest Australia in Belconnen. "Very hard to find, there's not much volume on the Sydney market floor."
Mr Kalogris said because gummy shark was more popular in Victoria, any that turned up in Sydney went straight to Melbourne buyers. "It's very expensive compared to all the other types," he said.
"To be honest with you, I haven't sold gummy shark more than once in the last year in my shop. It just isn't available."
Most fishmongers said even finding the amount of gummy shark in NSW would be very difficult. Owner of FishCo Down Under John Fragopoulos said there just wasn't enough gummy shark on the market to support its exclusive classification as flake.
"I can't see that happening. To start, we don't catch enough gummy here in NSW to meet demand. We use the black-tip shark or the mako shark. Fishermen don't fish here for it, because they don't get a high price," he said.
The public consultation period finishes on August 15 and, if approved, flake could be reclassified by the end of the year.
Mr Fragopoulos said that although customers should know what they're eating, sometimes it can go too far.
"We need to specify what we are selling, yes, but why gummy? Where will I find gummy?" he said.
"The best fish is fresh fish."

The building and construction product system : the emergence of new innovative businesses
Marceau, Jane & Manley, Karen (1999) The building and construction product system : the emergence of new innovative businesses. Department of Industry, Science and Resources, Canberra, ACT.
Accepted Version
(PDF 210kB)
This report examines the conditions surrounding the emergence and growth of innovative new firms in the building and construction product system. The focus on innovative new firms was prompted by diverse literatures which highlight the pivotal roles of innovation and new business activity in driving economic growth. 9 The literature concludes that the founders of new firms are likely to be innovative and that new firms are likely to promote industry innovation and efficiency. New businesses have also been found to have positive employment impacts and to grow faster than established firms.

The Northern Territory Government has announced a plan to turn around a serious decline in the number of Aboriginal health workers in government-run clinics.
The Government aims to increase the number of Aboriginal health practitioners by 10 per cent per year and is concentrating on health clinics in five Indigenous communities.
NT Health Minister Robyn Lambley used the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Summit in Cairns to announce the plan.
"Over the last 10 years the numbers of Aboriginal health workers have declined by 20 per cent, and if we don't do something now I fear that this profession will literally disappear," she said.

West Australian babies and toddlers are continuing to miss out on vital child health checks because the Health Department has failed to keep pace with population growth, the state's public sector watchdog has found.
The auditor general's findings, tabled in Parliament today, follow up on an initial report in 2010 which found only 29 per cent of 18-month-olds were being taken for the free and voluntary health checks.
Health Department clinics offer several checks for children in their first few years of life, looking for problems such as infections or hearing loss.

Hey, it's your call. You can do it legally. I just don't go to bars because I choose not to. Don't drink much and when I do it usually involves a fire pit.

The subject of bar carry has interestingly been a split decision item for 2A supporters.
In a handful of states it's a lawful act to do so such as in of all places MA (!).
Many other places around the nation though it is an unlawful act to do so.
Then there is VA and the 'VA tuck' requiring open displayed carry only.
I have and do carry everywhere I can as when ever I can, lawfully.
Last night I got a call from the husband of the director at the pre-school where my daughter used to go, and my son will be going next year. His wife is also at my invitation a new board member among the community volunteer organization that I am chair and president of.
He heard from his wife that I like to go out and do guy stuff, including play pool and watch movies.
All truths.
He noted that he and several o f his friends from his zone, 2 towns and 30 minutes away, would like to do same and was wondering if I'd be up to meet with them tonight (Friday) for a few games of pool.
Cool with me! I had planned to pattern some shotguns, eat dinner and catch a movie anyway so I figure lets get it on.
FFWD to roughly an hour ago...
I've sent invites out to five dads I know in town.
One is a solid yes the other is a solid maybe (waiting on wife approval) followed by one no and two non-replys. Better than typical results.
Meanwhile dude sends me an e-mail indicating he's bringing three with two more due to meet him on sight. Sweet.
We discussed venue today by e-mail and his buddies all want to go to a local place that is a brewery, restaurant, live band music spot and pool hall hang out all in one establishment. A nice place that typically is packed on a Monday never mind a Friday night.
I will as per my norm be carrying.
An easily concealed Colt Defender, a spare magazine of ten rounds, a combat oriented folding knife (not a GP looking 'box cutter' nor Swiss Army knife)...and likely a can of OC/CS too. My normal street carry gear.
When out at night I usually will toss a tac-light into the left outer pocket of my coat as well.
As based on past posts a good amount of people here would have a problem with me carrying into this establishment.
They serve not just beer nut liquor too...as in shots and mixed drinks.
People go there to get intoxicated on purpose.
In my e-mail with dude noting to him pool halls in the region that we could visit I had stated; "They all serve alcohol as well though for me personally that is of no regard as I won't be drinking."
A 100% truth.
I do not CHOOSE to do so and never do consume alcohol when I am carrying. Whether others around me or in my party CHOOSE to drink or not.
I see no problem with this nor feel odd about it. Nobody has ever known that I am carrying when out with them, as they drink...in pool halls and bars.
I do not understand what the problem is with folks and their view toward carry in bars.
This is a valid establishment and reason for my being there. I go there for lunch and dinner dates as well relatively often, personal and professional. I carry...A gun, knife, and/or OC/CS.
Equally so my right and interest to defend my person does not end at the doors to this establishment. No more so than same as at my local bank (another place where some folks oddly have issue with carry) or as when I choose to step foot into say a church, as i did with my both kids in tow last Sunday...while carrying a gun and knife as concealed.
Tonight I will be concealed.
Dress normally to all outward appearance no fishermans/photographers/'tactical' vest required.
Just regular street clothes looking like a Roman amongst the region.
My tools of life preservation will be concealed and carried as within all rules and regulations of law.
Why would and should persons take issue with this?
I just want to go out and have some sober fun with a few folks and get myself home in one piece so as to be able and available to do same with my kids tomorrow and the day after.
Note: This is not the facility but is a pretty good approximation of how it typically looks.
The actual locations website is not loading properly at the moment.
Bar carry and as at other establishments that happen to keep or sell alcohol should be lawful for carry, nationwide.
Here in MA we do not at all have even remotely a problem with shoot outs and stabbings in bar or alcohol service establishments. Even as alcohol consumption and alcoholism here is no different or less here than any other state in the union.
Penalizing everyone because a few people cannot act like adults and control them self by personal choice or impulsive action is not fair, to the majority.
Allowing bar and alcohol establishment concealed weapons carry is one of the very few things MA got right as related to law and law enforcement.
- Janq
P.S. - This particular establishment does have security. A single guy built like a human wall for visual discouragement.
I happen to know the guy as he works at the same same fitness center where I go to train.
I've long been carrying there too as not just through the doors but on the floor as well. Not difficult to do and as always concealed, per the letter of the law.

Hey, it's your call. You can do it legally. I just don't go to bars because I choose not to. Don't drink much and when I do it usually involves a fire pit.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
Indiana is o.k. with bars also, I do not drink carrying or not, but I have gone to places like that armed, kind of like designated driver or carrier.
Most problems I see or read is restaurants that serve, that rules out a good number of places to go to, no harm to me as long as they do not drink.
BTW, Indiana doesn't have a problem with shoot-outs in or outside of bars, yes, it happens, but not people with LTCHs.

Cute- you boys are having a play date.I've sent invites out to five dads I know in town.True. I am afraid that I have met more then "a few" people who have trouble controlling themselves. I try to stay far away from them.Penalizing everyone because a few people cannot act like adults and control them self by personal choice or impulsive action is not fair, to the majority.

I just hope with the new elections we just won here in VA that laws will soon change....Until then, its the VA tuck for me...
I don't carry when I've been drinking, EVER.
When the law in Ohio changes, I will go armed to liquor serving restaurants but not drink.
I see no point in going to a bar and not drinking. Therefore I will never go to a bar armed, regardless of the law.
Being in several bands, I am often in bars I don't really want to be in, but I love to play so its part of it. I would really prefer to carry but this being Georgia, I get hit with a double whammy. No carry in bars allowed AND being that we are performing music, we are causing a "public gathering" and Georgia's arcane laws state no carrying at a public gathering.

Your reasons are exactly the same reason I have no problem in going out and having a beer or two when I am carrying. I stopped doing stupid stuff a number of years ago and don't intend on doing them again in the foreseeable future.
My simple response to the folks that have problems with this is if your going to base your decisions of whether folks can carry to a place the sells/serves alcohol simply on the presence of alcohol, I would like to base my decisions on whether one can carry on the level of stupidity, sober or not.
Enjoy the evening with the guys, sounds like a good plan to relax and take a mental break.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

There are two primary aspects of carrying that I see, when carrying to a place where alcohol is served: (a) I might become intoxicated; and (b) others that get intoxicated might be there.
The first element I can absolutely control because I, too, typically don't drink anything when I go out with friends. But the problem is with the other element, since it's something I cannot control.
BTDT. I simply have no control over whether other folks are going to blow sideways, there. And, like it or not, at such places the likelihood of someone doing exactly that THAT time when I'm there is reasonably high. That's why I don't go to such places.
In short: It isn't about me or my behavior; rather, it's about others and avoiding their behavior.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
I agree with Wolf. If you're responsible, then by all means enjoy yourself. Life is short, stay legal and enjoy yourself!
Ps. I'm thinking that most people on this site are way passed "bar age" and that's probably why there is so much anti-bar sentiment. I am in my 20's and I carry. It is very hard to have a social life that doesn't involve an occasional bar or two in my age group.
You have my permission. Go and have a good time.
Semper Fi
P.S. Don't stay out late.
Janq, I agree, if your legal to carry and your not drinking there should be no problem with you carrying. Your actions are the only ones you can control. you have several resources to fall back on if the need arises, the last being your Defender. Have a good time and whip butt on the table when they get a few in them! LOL
I play league pool here (APA) so I am in a bar once a week playing competitively. I am a 5/6 for those curious. I have been in the league since 01 when I lived in VA. I typically drink 1-2 beers which I would gladly cut out if I didn't have to leave my gun in the car because of the law. Besides me not being much of a drinker I feel that 3 beers is were I JUST start to feel a little something and I take my pool seriously. I want to do well for my team and myself so beering under the influence isn't good for my shooting ability.
Playing with my team is the highlight of my week. We have a great time because we are all good friends and enjoy each others company. Unfortunely some of the people we play against are less then model citizens and a handful we know for a fact are coked up. I really would feel better (as I always do) if I had my firearm on me. Clearly these coke heads have no regard for the law but here I am the good law abiding type that left his gun in the parking lot.
Last week I am destroying some coked up fool in a game of pool and he is quickly becoming visibly enraged by me handing him his ass. We are playing 8 ball and he is a 4 and I took him 4-0 and on the last rack he has all his balls left on the table when I sink the 8. The whole time he is mouthing off to my teammates and friends and when the game is over I shake his hand and he storms out of the bar.
I guess the whole deal just leaves me wondering why my government would not let me protect myself while I am in certain places. I love pool and I love the vast majority of the people in my league but the handful of rotten eggs really leave a bad taste in my mouth.
ccw9mm:There it is for me. If there is drinking going on I like it to be where people are not trying to get drunk and party down.In short: It isn't about me or my behavior; rather, it's about others and avoiding their behavior.
FL does not regulate CCW with drinking or being in a place that serves alcohol and food...just don't be in the bar area. Full-time bars (without restaurants) are off limits. Can I have a meal and a? You bet, not a problem, nor do I worry about a beer with dinner and being armed. I can go to most places (just not plain old bars) and remain lawfully armed.
Gotta' love FL.

Bills backup QB out 4-to-6 weeks [9:58 PM]
The Sports Network reports: '"We're not going to go into the first regular season game with just one experienced quarterback," said Donahoe. "We would not think that's a fair position to put the team."'
Brown's Injury Just A Sprain [9:57 PM]
RNews.com reports: '"In my 20 years in the NFL I can't remember a situation like this in this short a time frame with the quarterbacks," said head coach Mike Mularkey.'
Bills Receive Some �Good� Injury News [9:56 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'In related injury news, starting safety Lawyer Milloy underwent successful surgery Sunday on his broken forearm. Milloy seems confident he will be able to play in the Sept. 12 opener against Jacksonville.'
Matthews Signs. Brown Out 4 To 6 Weeks [9:55 PM]
WGR-AM reports: 'He watched practice on Monday standing next to quarterbacks coach Sam Wyche talking about plays.'
Bills sign Matthews to replace injured backup QB [9:55 PM]
AP reports: 'It's possible that Matthews could make his Bills debut in the team's preseason finale, at Detroit on Thursday. The Bills, who open their regular season hosting Jacksonville on Sept. 12, have only two other healthy quarterbacks on their roster: Bledsoe and Greg Zolman, who opened camp as the team's fourth-stringer.'
Bills QB Brown out 4-6 weeks with sprained knee [9:54 PM]
Sportsticker reports: '"The news is better than we expected," Bills general manager Tom Donahoe said. "Travis has a sprain of the knee. His anterior cruciate ligament is fine. It's a four to six week injury, but it could be sooner or a little longer."'
Injury a sprained MCL, not a torn ACL [5:21 PM]
ESPN reports: In the meantime, the Bills on Monday added journeyman Shane Matthews, who was with Cincinnati in 2003, but did not appear in a single game. The 10-year veteran certainly meets the requirement of being able to get into camp with the Bills, quickly assimilate the offense, and serve as a stopgap of sorts.
Patriots have an easier division ride [4:52 PM]
AP reports: 'New England 13-3; Jets 9-7; Buffalo 7-9; Miami 4-12.'
New Bills looking awfully familiar [4:09 PM]
Niagara Falls Reporter reports: 'You might have thought an astute football mind like Donahoe would have signed a veteran quarterback this spring or summer at bargain-basement rates. Ol' Whitey clearly knew better, though, sticking with an unproven rookie and a relative veteran proven to not be very good. Hey, Tom: Kordell Stewart awaits your call.'
Bills now face big decisions on QB, safety [1:38 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'So what does Donahoe do? Zolman has to stay on the active roster for the immediate future ... at least until the Bills� new QB � whoever it might be � gets comfortable. Until then, does Buffalo keep four QBs on the active roster to prevent Losman from wasting the year? What a decision ... and it�s still only preseason.'
Cornerback Thomas Known for Big Plays [1:03 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I think Kevin and Terrence are doing a good job," said Defensive Coordinator Jerry Gray. Nickel corner is one of the harder positions because you've got to read the quarterback, you've got to read the line and you've got to make tackles. Each guy is qualified to play the spot so that's going to be a healthy competition also. All in all our team will be better because we will be getting the maximum amount of ability out of these guys. Everyone has to raise their game to play on this defense."'
Preseason Week Four game recaps [10:43 AM]
Pro Football Weekly reports: Buffalo saw its bad luck at quarterback continue, as backup QB Travis Brown was carted off the field following a hit to his left knee. The Bills had already lost rookie QB J.P. Losman with a broken leg Tuesday. On top of that, Bills S Lawyer Milloy broke his right forearm Saturday night and will undergo surgery. The Bills didn't know how much time he'd miss.
Bills go shopping for a backup quarterback [8:53 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The experienced free-agent quarterbacks on the open market include Chad Hutchinson, Jamie Martin, Shane Matthews, Akili Smith, Neil O'Donnell, Chris Redman, Scott Covington, Ray Lucas and Mike Quinn.'
Bledsoe wants Brown involved [8:52 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Believe it or not I have a great peace over me right now," Brown said in the locker room at the RCA Dome after the Bills' 30-17 loss. "Is this what I wanted to have happen? Absolutely not. But understanding what I went through last year and being gone most of the year, I understand there's a reason things happen." '
Injuries emerge as an issue [5:13 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"We're going to take a step back and evaluate what we have to do there (at quarterback)," coach Mike Mularkey said. "Obviously, we have to do something. We'll see what's available. It will be addressed."'
These Bills look like another 6-10 team [5:12 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'The New England Patriots appear to have widened the gap over the rest of the AFC East. My original theory was that the Bills would clearly be the second-best team in the division and have a decent shot at a playoff berth. But now I'm wondering if they can match last year's 6-10.'
Bills Team Report [5:11 AM]
The Sporting News reports: 'If new coach Mike Mularkey's vision of a ball-control offense comes to fruition and the defense remains strong, the Bills could be one of the NFL's surprise teams and make a run at a playoff berth. But given the unstable nature of the offensive line, a .500 season appears to be a more realistic goal.'
Bills' Brown to have MRI on injured left knee [3:52 PM]
AP reports: 'Coach Mike Mularkey should have the results of the MRI on Monday after practice, the Bills said.'
Andre Reed to present public talk at college [3:32 PM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Reed will present a program titled "Giving Your Best" at noon Sept. 10 in the Physical Education Complex at Jamestown Community College.'
Bills Sloppy In Costly Loss To Colts [3:16 PM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Offensively, the starting unit for the Bills again could not get into the endzone for the third consecutive preseason game. The Bills, as a team, fumbled seven times, losing three. Bills quarterbacks also threw two interceptions and were sacked three times.'
Billadelphian [9:42 AM]
phillyBurbs.com reports: '"It's time to work," Vincent said passionately. "Now is pretty much that time in my life where it's [football]. I understand it [and] my wife understands it. We're the only ones that need to understand that this is not going to last a lifetime. Let's seize the moment."'
Bills bumble in loss [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Special teams mistakes and shaky pass protection marred the Buffalo Bills' preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts Saturday night. Then came the bad news.'
Take it from James, McGahee needs time [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Edgerrin James will not be surprised if it's well into the season before Willis McGahee gets back to 100 percent. The Indianapolis Colts' star back knows what it's like to return from major knee surgery.'
Bills are hit hard in loss to Colts [5:14 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'No fewer than four special-teams blunders led directly to or helped set up 20 first-half points by the high-powered Colts.'

Working with reports in Reporting Services, you can face timeout errors. This situation might happen when using very heavy reports. I will show bellow a list of different timeouts that could be affecting reports execution in Reporting Services and how you can adjust their values.
1. If the timeout is produced by the query execution of the report, you can modify this value in the Report Designer. To find this setting:
· Open the report using the report designer (Business Intelligence)
· Select the Data tab
· Select the dataset properties
· Increase the value of the timeout box (or put the number in minutes for the query duration if empty)
2. If the timeout is caused by the length of the execution of the report, you can change the Report Execution Timeout property by selecting the 'Do not timeout report execution' option
More info in:
3. If the timeout is caused by the session, you can change the setting of the sessionState in the web.config file in the folder "C:\Programme\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportManager"
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="180" />
Restart IIS (Start – Run…, type in iisreset and then click OK).
4. If the timeout is caused by the connection, you can change web site Connection Timeout to 7200 sec (default is 120 sec)
· Open IIS Manager.
· Right click the web site where Report Server is running.
· Select Properties.
· What is the setting for Connection timeout?
· If it is less than 7200 you could change to the value 7200.
5. In RSReportServer.config you could set the following values (theses are sample values, you can adjust your own):
<Add Key="ProcessRecycleOptions" Value="1"/> <!–Disabled–>
<Add Key="CleanupCycleMinutes" Value="36000"/> <!–10 Hours–>
<Add Key="SQLCommandTimeoutSeconds" Value="0"/> <!–None–>
<Add Key="MaxActiveReqForOneUser" Value="100"/>
<Add Key="DatabaseQueryTimeout" Value="0"/> <!–None–>
<Add Key="RunningRequestsScavengerCycle" Value="36000"/> <!–10 Hours–>
<Add Key="RunningRequestsDbCycle" Value="36000"/> <!–10 Hours–>
<Add Key="RunningRequestsAge" Value="30"/>
6. Check the ExecutionTimeout setting within the web.config
\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Reporting Services\ReportManager\
\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.X\Reporting Services\ReportServer)
Default is 9000 seconds, which is 2.5 hours.
In both web.config files check to see what the values are
(e.g., <httpRuntime executionTimeout = "9000" /> ).
You can alter this to 36000.

Vladimir Makarovich Velichko (Russian: Владимир Макарович Величко; Mozhayskoye Novousmanskogo, 23 April 1937) was a Soviet official and entrepreneur appointed as the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers in 1991.
Life and career[edit]
Velichko was born into a working-class family in the village of Mozhayskoye Novousmanskogo in Voronezh Oblast, Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, Soviet Union[1] on 23 April 1937.[2] According to United Russia's homepage, Velichko started his career in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[3] He began studying at the Leningrad Military Mechanical Institute in 1955, graduating as a mechanical engineer in 1962.[1]
Soviet politics[edit]
In 1962, Velichko joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), and began work at a factory in Leningrad belonging to the Ministry of General Machine Building. He became Deputy Chief of the plant in 1967, and Deputy Director in 1971. Between 1971 and 1975 Velichko worked as the plant's manager and from 1986 to 1990 served as a member of the CPSU Central Committee, later becoming a Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union.[1]
Velichko became First Deputy Minister of Power Machine Building in 1975, and continued to work in this post until 1983 when he became the Minister of Power Machine Building. On 20 July 1987, the Ministry of Power Machine Building merged with the Ministry of Heavy and Transport Machine Building to become the Ministry of Heavy, Power and Transport Machine Building with Velichko becoming the Minister of Heavy, Power and Transport Machine Building. The Ministry of Heavy, Power and Transport Machine Building then merged with the Ministry of Construction, Road and Municipal Machine Building on 27 June 1989 to become the Ministry of Heavy Machine Building.[1] He was elected Minister of Heavy Machine Building by the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union with only five abstentions or votes against him among about 400 delegates.[4] He was a member of the Presidium of the Council of Ministers during the premiership of Nikolai Ryzhkov,[5] and later became a First Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers during Valentin Pavlov's Prime Ministership.[1]
Since November 1990, Velichko has been chairman of the Board Joint Stock Company Tyazhenergomash, and since 1996 worked as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tyazhenergomash, a financial-industrial group. As chairman of Velichko Tyazhenergomash he has overseen the reconstruction of several Soviet era plants as well as construction of new gas power stations with a generating capacity of more than 100 Megawatt. Velichko was also active in the construction of the Novo-Voronezh, Ignalina and Balakovo nuclear power plants along with several others in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).[6]
Velichko has been a member of the Council on Industrial Policy of the Russian Government since 1993, and became Chairman of the Council for Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship of the Russian Government in 1994, an office he has held ever since. In 1994 he became Chairman of the Board of Directors of Holdingtembanka.[7] Since 1993 Velichko has been General Director of TENMA, and since 1996 the President of FPG.[8] As of 2011 Velichko is a member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Engineering.[9]
In recognition of his work in developing Soviet industry during his tenure as minister of several ministries in the 1980s, Velichko was awarded the Order of Merit[citation needed], two[6] or three[10] Orders of Lenin, one Order of the October Revolution, two USSR State Prizes (1976 and 1978), one Order of the Red Banner of Labour and one Order of Friendship of the Socialist Republic of Czechoslovakia, as well as several other decorations, awards and medals.[6] Velichko also received the Order For Merit to the Fatherland, 4th class.

Bend's Equine Outreach receives ASPCA grant
Will help fund barn construction
Equine Outreach, Inc., announced Wednesday that they have been awarded a $20,000 grant from the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) to help with the construction costs of a multi-use barn.
The construction will include med pens for critical care for long-term rehabilitation efforts, a year-round indoor round pen for training and adoption, and a covered venue for facilitating their proud partnership with the Oregon State University Vet Tech program, Best Care, Abilitree, CO Memory Care Center, Whispering Wind, Bend School system, Oregon Youth Challenge, Bend Parks and Recreation and many other wonderful people who care for the animals at Equine Outreach.
The grant was issued as part of the ASPCA Rescuing Racers Initiative, which aids in the rescue and rehabilitation of retired racehorses to save them from slaughter, repurposing the horses for other areas of the equine world, and giving them a new lease on life for events or pleasure riding.
"We are pleased to award Equine Outreach this grant from the ASPCA Rescuing Racers Initiative in order to expand their capacity to provide improved circumstances for the many thoroughbreds that find refuge in their care," said Jacque Schultz, senior director of the ASPCA Equine Fund. "Horses have been central to the ASPCA's work since our founding and we are happy to assist Equine Outreach in their efforts to save more horses."
"We are deeply honored by the generosity of the ASPCA," said Joan Steelhammer, founder of Equine Outreach, Inc. "To be recognized and supported by the ASPCA, one of the most prestigious and honored non-profits in the country, is validation for everything we have worked for over the last 10+ years. We have a long way to go to finish out the interior of the barn, but we will get it done inch by inch."
Since 2002, Joan Steelhammer, Gary Everett, and the dedicated volunteers of EOI have been rescuing horses from all over Central Oregon and beyond, including 35 Thoroughbreds, known as the Powell Butte Thoroughbreds, seized as part of a well known cruelty case in Jefferson County in 2012. The feed and care of the former racehorses costs the organization upwards of $75,000 per year.
To help raise the barn, donate, sponsor or adopt one of these amazing horses please visit www.equineoutreach.com.

Spotted! Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green Together!
Well, well, well. Isn't this interesting. The single Megan Fox was spotted out to dinner at Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ restaurant in Beverly Hills with her supposed ex-boyfriend Brian Austin Green. Maybe the couple is doing the friends with benefits. I'd like to think that Megan's still hanging out with Brian because of her bond with his son.
In related Brian Austin Green news, he just landed himself and acting gig. Brian Austin Green will follow up on his stint on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles with a guest run on Smallville as killer cyborg Metallo.

About Me
My work deals in Mystery - beauty and intrigue. While some may attempt to "tell a story" through imagery, I prefer to merely *allude* to to it. To provide a subtle, psychological peek into the world that exists beyond the boundaries of the frame. More than just portraying a scene, my work invites questions and evokes a feeling that there may be more going on in the scene than is immediately apparent to the viewer. It is this almost voyeuristic quality - the sense that a photo provides a fragmented glimpse into a larger unknown world - that drives my vision and informs my own creative process.

iBall.com CEO Chad Derwent sat alone in his office in Silicon Valley. Outside his open door, rows of empty, silent cubicles stretched from one end of the office floor to the other.
With a sigh, he put down his pen and pressed the speakerphone button.
"Jack Posner here to see you, Josh."

Senior Economist David Littmann is heavily cited in a Detroit News story today about Michigan's declining unemployment rate.
"Signs are trending upward at this point at a relatively slower pace than in the first quarter," Littmann said of the announcement that unemployment in the state fell in April from 8.5 percent to 8.3 percent. "We'll get some improvement with some of the reductions in gasoline prices to restore a little bit of purchasing power, but the great uncertainties are still out there getting worse."
Stay Engaged
Littmann said things such as the federal overspending crisis and Obamacare will "create chaos for the national economy," which could impact Michigan.
"Those two industries in particular are the ones to watch for some degree of economic improvement over the next six months," Littmann said of automobile sales and home sales.

Well, I finally bought a 2003 WRX. I'm pretty excited about it...ok, make that "holy crap wow OMG yeehaw" excited about it.
Anyway, I'm here to ask advice on driving technique. The peddle on the right is the one that makes it go, right?
Alright, I don't need that much help, but I am concerned about getting the most fun out of this vehicle during my commute to work and while driving it around town. I'd also like to be sure not to do anything stupid to it and wind up breaking something. Here's a list of vehicles I've driven during my driving career:
1995 Ford Ranger, automatic
1997 Isuzu Hombre, manual (drove this very briefly)
1999 Ford F-150, automatic
2002 Saturn SL, automatic (my wife's car)
1994 Toyota Corolla, automatic
As you can see, the list is long on sensible and short on fun. Also, I've very little experience with manual transmissions. I know how to drive one, but I'm not sure that I know how to drive one "correctly."
Basically, I'd like advice on how to best achieve that "Yeah, now that's why I bought a WRX" feeling without breaking too many laws or car parts. Since I've got so little experience with manual transmissions, I've been driving it fairly timidly. I don't want to get the revs up to much, because I'm not used to that sort of thing, and I don't really even know what "too much" is on a WRX, or if there is even such a thing as too much.
So, if you have any advice to give on how to intelligently have a reasonable amount of fun with this vehicle, I'd greatly appreciate it. Anything goes too, no matter how basic or stupid it might be... common knowledge type stuff isn't common with me, so don't hold back

10 Awesome Startup Offices In NYC
Everyone knows startups are among the most fun and innovative companies in the world. The kind of offices you find in New York are no different—though you might find just as many horse masks. Think you could design an even cooler office? Head over to WeAreMadeInNY.com and see how you could build a company from the ground up.
1. Fab.com
Fab's mission is to make you smile! Their website/app delivers you deals on fun products from clothes to tech gadgets and everything in between. Just look at their office! Doesn't it scream, "Fab?"
2. MakerBot
MakerBot produces crazy-cool 3D printers, and their office reinforces how serious the company is about avant-garde.
3. Foursquare
For a company devoted to getting users to "check in" to cool places, foursquare seems very aware that their own office has to be cool, too.
4. Percolate
Percolate helps brands develop their social media presences, and just like BuzzFeed did back in the day, theirs prominently features a sassy red couch (an obvious indicator of success).
5. Fueled
Fueled develops mobile apps, and obviously a company that goes by that name would make sure people are properly caffeinated and look dapper whilst doing so.
6. Quirky.com
Quirky took the laborious process of inventing a new product and simplified it. And their office is classic startup — glass walls, bright lights, wood floors, exposed pipes… all very much reflective of the kind of environment where good ideas are born.
7. Bitly
Bitly shortens links so the content is easier to remember and share with friends. They were also pretty quick to hop on that "exposed pipes" train.
8. Chartbeat
Charbeat makes it easier for websites to keep track of web analytics, so its office space no nonsense.
9. Thrillist
Thrillist's job is to keep men up to date about the latest trends in fashion, tech, entertainment, and the New York office is as thrilling as you'd think it would be. Who wouldn't be jealous of literally everything in this picture?
10. Artsy
Artsy is a new way to discover, learn about, and collect art. Their mission is to make fine art accessible to as many people as possible. Artsy's office is located in Chinatown, and they have a really beautiful view of the city.

His lengthy obituary doesn't begin to tell the whole story about Jack Quinn.
Accolades, honors, coaching achievements, hall of fame inductions, community leader, and the list goes on.
But if you read between the lines there is the story of Quinn's love of family, school and community.
It would take several committees and maybe even an act of Congress to accomplish what Quinn has in his almost 40 years at Elderton High School and his 26 years as a member of Elderton Borough Council.
As a sports editor in the 1960s, I got to know Quinn, who at the time was the head volleyball coach at Elderton when his team won the WPIAL championship in 1964.
In fact, he initiated the sport at Elderton where baseball and basketball were the only two varsity programs when he started teaching and coaching there in the '50s. He also brought soccer into the mix and coached and nurtured that sport until it reached varsity status.
Indiana resident Hal Wingard, a former baseball and basketball player under Quinn, was quoted in an earlier story as saying, "He became a very big part of all of us. In my estimation, he's the kind of coach everyone would like to have."
Wingard is a retired IUP health and physical education professor.
Quinn and his wife Jean had three children and he realized, as a father and teacher, that the need existed for activities for young people in the tiny Armstrong County community.
Quinn had a plan, and he knew it would take a lot of money and hard work to make his dream come true.
He knew just about everyone in Elderton and had been in almost every house in the borough of 350 people. That was because Quinn made friends everywhere he went and was always there to lend a hand, if need be.
Making good use of his winning personality and positive attitude, he recruited the late John Ralston Sr., who was a borough resident and retired engineer. Together they mapped out a plan for a park and recreation area that would be the envy of municipalities three times its size.
Quinn then called me at the Gazette, showed me the plans and requested a story be written about the project … and I obliged.
With empty pockets and armed only with his "whatever-it-takes" attitude, Quinn set out collecting favors not only from friends, but businesses and corporations in the area. In fact, an employee of U.S. Steel was quoted as saying that Quinn was "the biggest scronge in three states."
Even Quinn had admitted that "people hated to see me coming."
That was in 1971.
When the project was completed, and the bills paid, the park had a refreshment stand, three racquetball courts, a playground, a sunken Little League field surrounded by bleachers, four tennis courts, three pavilions and a sand volleyball court. At that time it was called Elderton/Plum Creek Park and Quinn, on borough council, was chairman of the area's recreation and parks commission.
Then, in 1994, it was renamed. Today, the Jack Quinn Sports Complex stands as a testament to his vision and contributions to the park.
Quinn was a friend and a true statesman for the Elderton community.

I love"Freefall" by Royal Tailor!
Have you purchased their CD, Black and White yet? It's among my favorites because I love their upbeat sound. I love the energy that you hear throughout the CD and the lyrics are theologically sound and give you plenty to think about and meditate upon.
The eleven-track CD was produced by Aaron Lindsey, Chuck Butler, and Daniel Kinner. Some of my other favorites on the CD are "Hold Me Together" and "Make A Move."
Be sure to preview and pick up Black and White today on Amazon! Connect with Royal Tailor on Twitter at @RoyalTailor!
