OS influence on power consumption
Power consumption is an issue. With portable devices this affects battery life. [I am irritated by the short intervals between necessary charging sessions with my phone. On the other hand, my netbook can run for over 7 hours on a charge, which is great. Likewise, my newly-acquired iPad seems to perform well.] With mains powered equipment, power consumption is also a concern for environmental reasons.
The matter of power has always been seen as a "hardware issue", but, of late, there has been an increasing interest in the role of software …
It is clear that software can take an active role in managing power consumption, if the right capabilities are provided. For example, parts of a system may be switched on and off, as required. The clock speed of a processor may be adjusted according to the amount of work it needs to do at a particular moment. The clock frequency can have a very significant effect upon power consumption.
Another, more simplistic argument is based upon selection of operating system. A traditional RTOS [like Nucleus] is likely to have a significantly smaller memory footprint than Linux, so less memory needs to be fitted. As memory consumes power, less memory means less power consumption. This argument is sound, but may be countered by the assertion that memory power consumption is really not too bad.
Last week, I was working with my colleague Stephen Olsen, who has been doing some research into these matters. He showed me that there is an even simpler perspective: the amount of power the CPU consumes, when doing a particular job, will vary depending upon the OS. His experiment was conducted using a media player device. It was decoding an MP3 of a 71db 220Hz sine wave. He ran the code twice: the first time executing the application under Nucleus, the second using Linux. The power consumed was measured and plotted over time.
On the plot power consumed, when running Nucleus, is shown in pink; Linux is dark blue. The results are interesting: when running Linux the CPU was consuming nearly 25% more power than when it was doing the exact same job under Nucleus.
There is also an increase in power consumption of another 20% [between about 3000 and 4000 on the plot] when running Linux. What caused this? We do not know. Obviously Linux was doing something in this time frame, which affected it CPU load.
This experiment set out to see whether a conventional RTOS really did benefit a design in terms of power consumption. It succeeded in this goal. It also illustrated quite graphically the non-real-time [i.e. unpredictable] behavior of Linux, which may be a problem for certain applications.

Hi Colin,
I was reading your post and results with great interest. Next to the impact of the OS on the power consumption for a device running the same application, you highlight important challenges that software developers face today when trying to get power under control:
1) Being able to quantify power consumption for software alternatives
2) Being able to identify the cause for a power increase in the software code
With regard to 2, there are again to major aspects to consider for software implementation, analysis and optimization:
a) Understand and control the system power management (software controls what goes on/off, when and why): The analysis and optimization also has to be conducted with the awareness of usage scenarios. Depending on what the user is doing, components may be in a different state. E.g. if I am only listening MP3, the brightness of the LCD should be dimmed as long as I am not operating the phone etc. Those power managers (such as in Android) are quite complex heuristics and (I think) extremely hard to get optimal (what is optimal?).
b) Understand and control the dynamics between the functional entities in the layers of a software stack: As far as I understand this is what your case is pointing to.
Unfortunately, I am not knowledgeable on Nucleus, but I want to provide some data on the Linux case. Therefore, I have tried to reproduce a similar scenario using a Virtual Prototype that is giving me the required visibility to understand what is going on. Of course, this is just exemplary and not a apple-to-apple comparison. E.g. my VP mimics and ARM9 Realview Baseboard, 1Khz timer, 200Mhz, Linux 2.6.23, mplayer, 100Hz sine MP3 etc. Thus, I am sure it is very different from your setup. But, looking at the analysis it is still relevant to understand the dynamics of Linux. I have posted the results here:
The analysis shows a context/process trace over time. As soon as the mplayer is started we can observe a multitude of data- and prefetch aborts. These are artifacts (page faults) triggered by the MMU as the data and process have to be mapped first. Once the process is mapped, we can only observe data-aborts (MP3 data page faults) and timer interrupts disturbing the mplayer process. However, after a certain time we can again identify a series of pre-fetch aborts which disturbs the mplayer again. In my case, the core is not able to get into idle at any time, thus the CPU is fully loaded with the decoding task. Now what can a software developer conclude from that:
- Is the periodic timer really required, should I go tickless?
- What is the cost of an OS that uses an MMU (page faults)
- Why is the scheduler not letting the CPU going idle, should I use mutex instead of spin-locks
- Etc.
I just thought it might be interesting to show how a VP can complement visibility to what you can measure with real hardware. I have
Best regards,

Near NYC? Like 50s clothing? Enjoy oldie Rock and Roll? Like Homestuck?
If you haven't already heard, an event is being planned for October of this year - Sock Hop Stuck! This event is being planned by me and will have some of the team that brought you NYC Promstuck helping out. It will be an informal dance with a loose dresscode inspired by 50s attire, and will have food, dancing, games, and the likes!
The registration for the event will not formally begin until probably August, but I do need to reserve the venue, and SOON. The two dates we are looking at are Saturday, October 5th and Saturday, October 19th.
If you are interested, please click here to read more about the event, and please FILL OUT THE POLL regarding the date! I realize that NO date is going to work for everyone, but I am trying to get a good idea as what date will yield the most attendees. Any less than 40 attendees, and the event will be canceled, and the more attendees over 50 we get (up to 125) the more funds there will be for food and decorations, so the numbers are important!
The poll will be up through Memorial day, and once I make the contract I will announce the date! For the mean time, please spread the word and remember to fill out the poll. Thank you SO much guys! <3 I am so excited that this is a possibility!
(also thank you to the sexy people in the above photo who all came to my last 50s stuck event <3)
screams wow, i´ve been meaning to go to NYC anyway in the near future anyway?….and this just help
All the excite! >w

Day 1 Johannesburg
Arrive in Johannesburg any time and make your way to the joining point hotel. A brief departure meeting will be held in the hotel reception area in evening on Day 1 of your tour. Upon arrival look for information from your CEO on the hotel bulletin board regarding the meeting time. Please make sure you have all of the necessary visas for this tour by the time of the welcome meeting. It is very important to read the Visa section in our trip details to make sure which visas you will need, if any. Please note that not all nationalities are able to obtain a visa on arrival at the border. Our starting hotel is located outside of the city of Johannesburg, but take some time on an excursion to Soweto or to the famous Apartheid Museum.
Day 2-3 Greater Kruger Area/Kruger National Park (2B,2L,2D)
Drive through scenic mountains, experience traditional Shangaan dinner and dance. The name Manyeleti, means 'Place of the Stars' in the local Shangaan language and guests have the opportunity to view the magnificent Southern Constellation. Manyeleti is situated away from the mainstream tourist areas and guests can experience the tranquility of the African Bush in absolute seclusion. In the late afternoon/early evening relax around the pool, sit around the campfire and enjoy your sundowner drink, followed by a traditional meal and traditional dancing by the villagers. Sleep tight and listen to the haunting sounds of the African night. The 23,000 hectare Manyeleti Game Reserve is situated between the Timbavati Private Reserve, the Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. With no fences separating Manyeleti from Kruger and the neighbouring reserves, a huge variety of wildlife roams freely over more than 2 million hectares of African bush. Game drives in open vehicles (optional) could bring you into close contact with the Big 5 (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) for an unforgettable safari experience. The Manyeleti Game Reserve is managed by the Mnisi tribe who have been in the area for many generations. The Mnisi are committed to retaining the integrity of the game reserve and ensuring that the benefits of tourism in the reserve are delivered to the surrounding communities. In the morning, visit Planeterra-supported, Hope Africa Children's Day School, close to the lodge in Shalati Village. G Adventures, Planeterra and the Shalati Lodge work closely with the school to provide not only funds for improvements and supplies, but also hands-on support with lesson plans and resource assistance. Many of the parents of the children that attend this school are staff at the lodge and rangers at the park -- the education centre allows for their children to have full-time access to early childhood education, while also being cared for so their parents can preform their livelihoods. You will have a quick stop at this school first thing in the morning to see the morning announcements/ songs of the students. The school has a principal and two full-time teachers who will discuss the work that is done at the school. While the students commence with their classes, you will have a chance to walk around the grounds with you CEO who will show you the school facilities. Planeterra and G Adventures recently built a new kitchen, toilets, and water tank for the school. Future plans include expanding a community garden and craft stall that will be run by the mother's of the children to each extra income for their families.
Day 4 Johannesburg (1B)
Approximate Distance: 277 km Estimated Time: 6 hrs Rise to the sounds of the wild, depart upon arrival in Johannesburg in the late afternoon. Transfer back to Johannesburg via a shared shuttle and arrive in the afternoon, where your tour ends upon arrival. Note that this transfer is unaccompanied by a CEO.

I love this sauce, and so does everyone I've ever made it for. I find grating the zucchini very tedious, but I like the idea of the hidden veggies, and the final result is worth it. This recipe makes a lot of sauce, so I usually freeze most of it for future use.

This is a great sauce. Use your food processor to shred the zucchini. It takes no time at all. I have made this several times. It takes a while but is well worth the effort. I freeze most of it for week night dinners. My Inlaws ask me to make it for them.

Released on June 10th in the UK
Published by MangaUK
May contain spoilers
"Saya Kisaragi is a seemingly-normal girl who is overly clumsy and kind. She lives with her father, the head of her hometown's shrine, and learns the "art of the sword" from him. When she is faced with various forms of "trials" that test her kindness, it brings misfortune for her being "overly-kind". Against misfortune and for the sake of her friends, she maintains her kind heart and becomes stronger. However, in her journey, how will she fare? Why is she being tested?"
Opening Comments
Blood-C is 2011 anime series created by CLAMP in collaboration with Production I.G. It is the latest installment in the Blood franchise (which includes Blood+ and Blood: The Last Vampire). I have never watched any previous material in the Blood franchise, so can only express my opinion of Blood-C in itself (without comparing it to predecessors or the overall story arc).
Main Comments
The first episode of this Anime series doesn't hook the audience in enough. If I wasn't reviewing Blood-C, or hadn't purchased it, I may have stopped watching. However, the fact that it sets the scene well is what encouraged me to watch the second episode. It's a tossup between engrossing the viewer from the very first episode (starting somewhere interesting in the timeline and explaining in later episodes) and laying down the foundations of the story so the viewer isn't confused. Blood-C opted for the latter. We are introduced to Saya's way of life and characteristics in general – school girl, honourable toward her father, polite and thoughtful toward others and the world around her (which is why she is often late for school). With that said there is a mouth-watering battle, at the end of the episode, which shows a more sinister side to the light hearted nature of Saya. At that moment I knew this anime was for me. Episode two continues in this format of storytelling which emphasis the whole "A sweet kind girl during the day and a ruthless killer at night" tagline behind the show.
Venturing through the episodes, I developed the impression that the story of Blood-C is a lot less important than the character development and the fight scenes/gore. There are a few loose attributes that remind us of an underlying story/message. These are in the form of: narration; a recurring thought it Saya; battles between Saya and the enemy; the message spoken by the enemy. Ultimately these are enough to remind us that there is in fact a bigger story to what is going on. Some peculiar moments foreshadow the section of the story which turns all that we have grown to love and understand about Blood-C on its head. This may be good or bad depending on the viewer. Developing the characters was the only way to increase the twist's impact on the audience.
One of the reasons I kept watching is because I cared for Saya. She is rather cute, loves life (she sings on the way to school many times), respects her father, and enjoys the company of the other characters. That is only one side to her, however, at night she becomes someone to save the people of the town she lives in; someone much more important. Her athleticism is expressed even in day but is only brought out properly at night, by fighting enemies known as Elder Bairns. Other characters include Nene and Nono Motoe. They're twins who are so in sync with each other that I guessed right in them being voiced by the same person (in Japanese and English versions). They bring a peppy, almost comical, edge to the anime. Fumito is a guy who looks after Saya and her Dad (Tadayoshi, he has an awesome name but we don't see enough of him). Fumito makes all of their food and ensures Saya is happy (by listening to her problems and treating her). There are some other characters that become more important near the end of the series. Overwhelmed with good willed, moral people, I wondered if something was up…
A bit of a restriction in how much this anime can excite, build up tension, and continue with the momentum it creates is the way the episodes are structured. As a whole, the amount of equilibrium and inciting events are uneven/do not follow the traditional way of storytelling. Quite a few episodes were either fully focussed on expressing the kindness of the entire town or only had a fight at the beginning or end. This is what really made the twist abrupt. Although spanning a few episodes, which described the aftermath very well, the amount of violence and gore was, maybe, too much when compared to the rest of the series. I still loved the creative ways in which expendable civilians died but everything happened so quickly I didn't have time to savour it. Also, upon reflection, I wish the attitude of the Anime adopted this very brutal, serious side earlier on. However, then the twist wouldn't have been as surprising. It depends on the person but I believe the change in attitude (and the entire reveal) was so clever. Ultimately I cared for the characters so when this twist happened I was truly upset, confused, and in awe.
The artwork, animation, music, and voice acting were all of a professional standard. The music really stood out; when the signature theme kicked in I almost always got chills. The animation shines during fight scenes and the artwork amazes upon blood rapidly shooting out of an Elder Bairns neck. I was drawn to this anime because of the gore and the whole Samurai feel; the sense of honour and use of Katana sits very well with me. I'm pleased that the story and character development are not ignored though – too many horrors do, Blood-C is more of a thriller which is more of a reason to watch it.
Closing Comments
Blood-C is halfway between a 'stop and smell the flowers' type of anime and an all-out gore fest. Character development and fight scenes ultimately take up the time that could have been spent on developing the story. However, the present story is good enough to keep the audience intrigued and shock them upon revealing the twist. Eden of the East was quite story orientated so maybe the structure used for Blood-C fits. Production I.G and CLAMP have come together to create a very professional Anime by paying attention to all the aspects of this form of Art. Fans of gore and Samurai should definitely give Blood-C a chance.

So much of our national conversation about job placement focuses on training these days. We've spent an awful lot of time – and money – on the question of which degree or certificate is better, and much less attention on the fundamental question underpinning the training issue: Which skills should workers have?
In an ideal world, training would equal skills development; but the fact is, school-based training programs can only approximate the skills any particular employer needs in its workers. Sadly, the best-case scenario, workplace-based training, may be a thing of the past as employers eliminate expenses.
Let's start over with some basic information and the questions you will need to bring to employers. First, remember my cardinal rule of job training: Employers hire workers to do something, not to be something. That is, they need you to perform tasks, not to simply be a certified whatever.
Second, understand that unless the work you will perform is licensed, the employer probably doesn't care much about your degree or certificate. They only care if someone sitting above them – such as a licensing board – requires the worker to have a certain credential. Again, what the employer wants is for you to do something; what they hope is that the degree will ensure that you can.
Third, remember that employers who advertise positions will ask for more skills and degrees than they need, largely as a way of screening applicants.
With this knowledge, you have a decision to make: Do you want training primarily to get the next job, or to help you build your career long-term?
For the first instance, lean toward the short, intense certificate programs, as well as contract assignments and any hands-on experience you can get. Even volunteer gigs and do-it-yourself projects can bring a level of credibility, particularly if you garner work samples for the interview. This interim skill-building will be especially critical for people who are changing fields, or who have been out of the workplace awhile.
For long-term career building, go for the longer, degree-based training programs as they will better prepare you for the overall field and for issues you might encounter as your career progresses.
In both cases, and for the duration of your career, however, always start your job training quest in the same place: at the employer's doorstep. By identifying the organizations you'd like to work for and then speaking with managers about the skills they need, you'll be able to focus on the true goal, which is to be skilled and employable, not simply trained.

Excellent Opportunity to Study
Many people still think of online education as a way to take an extra class to supplement their brick – and – mortar education. However, online education, or distance learning, is becoming an increasingly popular way to complete an entire degree. More people are turning to distance learning to complete associates, bachelors and masters degrees……

I agree with the article. Just because an employee as a degree or certificate, they believe they are entitled to a job. You have to earn it and actually prove you can do the job.

The New York Giants have been one busy team within the last 24 hours. One of their first cuts made was veteran linebacker Michael Boley, who signed a five-year $25 million dollar deal in 2009 (was due to make $4.5 million in 2013) had 1 year left on his contract. It's clear the Giants are looking to cut ties with some contracts to make sure they aren't above the 2013 salary cap. Tho it hasn't been announced yet, some believe that it will be the same as 2012, which was around $121 million. The Giants continued to look at where they could save money, making releases of veteran defensive linemen Chris Canty and running back Ahmad Bradshaw.
Chris Canty who was due more than $6 million next season, played in only nine games in 2012. Bradshaw, meanwhile, was set to make $3.75 million in 2013 and an additional $4 million in 2014. Rushing for over 1 thousand yards last year and 6 touchdowns, Bradshaw suffered a neck injury during season which allowed rookie David Wilson and 3 year veteran Andre Brown to show what they had to offer. Wilson picked up 358 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns on 71 attempts, while Brown rushed for 385 yards and 8 touchdowns on 73 attempts. With the release of Bradshaw, this certainly opens up the door for Wilson to show he can be New York's #1 back. Also noted, Andre Brown, who broke his fibula against the Green Bay Packers, is also a restricted free-agent.
Bradshaw underwent surgery before the Super Bowl to insert a screw into his right foot. Bradshaw is expected to be sidelined for around 2 months but will be 100% by the time camp opens and preseason begins. I don't expect him to be a free agent for long after teams get the word that he is ready to start training again. New York making sure they aren't over the cap, there could be more cuts following these. Other players they could possibly look at cutting ties with are tackle David Diehl ($4.475 million due in 2013), corner-back Corey Webster ($7 million in 2013) and are expected to cut or resign corner-back Terrell Thomas ($750,000) before he is due a $6 million option bonus which he could sometime in March. Expect more changes to come from the big blue.

Sandy • When Javier Morales looked up and saw a streaking Joao Plata, the veteran midfielder was hoping the minuscule playmaker could make a play on the ball.
He didn't, but he did.
RSL 3, Earthquakes 0Salt Lake scores three first-half goals and holds on for the win.
» Midfielder Javier Morales notches a goal and an assist for RSL.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The ball, curving directly toward Plata's feet, instead went right through him when he saw Ned Grabavoy unmarked. Rather than making an awkward strike on the ball, Plata let it roll right through his legs to his teammate whose left-footed rocket to the far post sent off an explosion of applause.
It was one of many highlights of Real Salt Lake's dominating 3-0 win over Western Conference rival San Jose at Rio Tinto Stadium Saturday night.
"Plays like that, for me, are unbelievable because it's super unselfish," Grabavoy said.
It was that kind of night at Rio Tinto.
The ball was shared. Wave after wave of attack threatened and broke down the Earthquake formation and, after talking about pouring it on when the opportunity presents itself, Real Salt Lake took care of it.
Real Salt Lake first hit the score sheet in the 16th minute when forward Robbie Findley created some space at the top of the box and fired a shot that was deflected by San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch.
The ball spilled to the center of the box where Javier Morales was there to calmly poke the ball into the back of the net.
"We should improve every game," said Morales, who finished with a goal and an assist. "I think right now we're playing good soccer, so we have to keep going forward."
Grabavoy's goal, the second in a first-half flurry, was an example of developing chemistry of a deep team.
And Findley's 38th-minute bender that snuck into the far post was the exclamation mark on Real Salt Lake's best offensive half of the season.
"Chances that should have been finished were finished," said RSL coach Jason Kreis.
While RSL preferred to keep the foot firmly down on the pedal in the second half, the Earthquakes, as Grabavoy explained, switched formations and began to press more and, thanks to a few key stops by goalkeeper Nick Rimando, a clean sheet was preserved.
"Shutouts are important for this team," Grabavoy said. "We need to get back to that."
The win, Real Salt Lake's fourth in its last six matches, catapulted the team into second place in the Western Conference standings as RSL now holds a two-point lead over the Portland Timbers.
And now, the goals that were missing early in the season are starting to come.
"We don't have to finish them all every single game," Kreis said. "We'll hope to save those for the end of the season."

Messages from the First Contact Ground Crew Team from Galactic Center
Alright. Well we have, we have a lot going on. So I'm going to say there is, sort of, challenges coming up to the surface. There is a little bit of difficulty between masculine and feminine energies within yourself, as well as maybe externally, in family units or work relationships or world powers even.
Then we have, well, quite a lot going on really with the opportunity to heal some things but I think that this week I want to talk about "transparent thinking".
Basically all of Creation is telepathic or can communicate non-verbally and rather instantly. The human race on the planet is finally getting a bit closer to the same abilities that the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms have to understand instant communication and wavelength, different frequencies, and what not. So that translates to humans becoming more psychic I guess you could say, in nature or more intuitive. And we certainly worked with a lot of Third Eye exercises over the time to help sharpen those skills, many of which are here in the Spirituality Articles.
September 26, 2013
Perfumes and fragrances make up the largest portion of cosmetic and personal care products, representing half of all money that is spent on beauty goods. Exposure to toxic ingredients in such items is predominantly through the skin – yet many of us smear these chemicals onto our body every day.
Many people are sensitive to perfumes, finding it difficult just to walk through department stores. Even if you don't have a particular sensitivity to them, their toxic effects can be overwhelming.
With more than 500 potential chemicals that may be used under the word "fragrance," found on all types of products in addition to perfumes and colognes, it can be difficult to avoid them.
Fragrance might be found in room air fresheners, cosmetics, fabric softeners, laundry detergents, candles and a host of other products. Since they aren't meant to be ingested, manufacturers don't have to list their ingredients on the label. They aren't required to reveal specific ingredients in anything that might qualify as fragrance because these are protected as a trade secret.
As we expose and uproot the forces of tyranny from their self-made thrones, so is it crucial that we help inform the collective about the existence of the spiritual realms and our very real ability to Create widespread change in the interests of every person.
It's important for the ever-awakening public to understand that our reality is nothing like we've been led to believe, and it's been said that learning about the cabal's actions will help initiate that understanding for everybody.
In the face of our continual efforts to expose the cabal and build our future, helping the public understand their ability to access and work with states of consciousness beyond our current understanding will see us all able to embrace our strength.
The most important revelation for every person to grasp, in my opinion, is the revelation that we possess infinite power within.
Some have given their power away to religious entities and deities they were taught to believe are holier than us or are able to gain a greater grace with Source than we are, but the reality is that we possess the power the Angels and Archangels so discussed in the Bible and various other holy doctrine possess.
I speak with you today in the joy of connecting once more with a friend and the joy of the opportunity of speaking with each of you.
You are now reading or listening to my words, transcribed upon this page by this one, and that is as needed for you at this time. However, please know that the time is here for some of you, and quickly approaches for many others, in which you will not need to read or listen to anyone other than your own hearts.
It is not that I do not speak to you directly now. It is not that you are unable to hear me when I do so. Truly now, ask yourself if you think that you are able to hear me. Do you believe that you deserve to hear me? Have you ceased judging yourself and forgiven yourself for all that you did commit or may have committed in the past?

After arriving in Columbus yesterday. I was blessed with a visit to Dr. Penny's dental office. She took care of a couple mouth/teeth challenges I was having. So very grateful for her service, and her "contribution" to this journey.
Okay so my dentals are not really perfect (yet)… but she honored me with her work… (and I do not let just anyonestick their hands in my mouth). So at least for a few more now moments, I'm able to continue this mission.
And what a house of Light she has! I'm grateful for her two Galactic cats that have honored me with their 'acceptance'. And letting me throw their cat toys and comb their fur.

Whenever I do a new quest, I HAVE to look at it on Wowhead. Not because I always need help, but because I love to see if there's any fascinating lore titbits or facts that I missed in the quest text.
Doing The Seeker on my hunter means Wowhead never leaves my browser!
Have you tried using the add on Lightheaded? You'd never have to alt tab again. LH puts an extra pane in the quest log, and when you click on a quest in your log, it'll bring up all the Wowhead comments for that quest in the extra pane. It's amazingly convenient, I never level alts without it.
You can get it from WoW Interface.

I'd never heard of that addon, probably because I only ever use Curse, and it's not listed there. Just downloaded it and tested it out on a random character - it's excellent, thanks a lot for the recommendation!
It's going to be going into my "Complete Must Have" addon basket, along with EveryQuest.

Its time once again to take your canned goods to the mailbox.
The letter carriers drive to benefit the Fairbanks community food bank is set for Saturday.

Donations should be left in a bag by the mailbox before letter carriers arrive to deliver mail.
Donations can also be taken to the post office.

It's a shame BIG's whole idea of going to their pavilion and renting a bike and riding to all the other pavilions didn't happen; At least when I was there, they weren't even renting out the bikes.
agreed. almost nobody picked a bike in the videos!0
I noticed that also, what a bummer.0

Low Debt High ROE Stock Deserving of Rich Valuation
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The market has rewarded Trueblue (NYSE: TBI) for its industry leading ROEs, with the stock price rising by 28% year-to-date. With its geographical reach and longevity in the industry, TrueBlue is well-positioned to benefit from regulatory and technological drivers such as The Affordable Care Act, and the prevalence of mobile usage.
Headquartered in Tacoma, Washington and listed in 1995, TrueBlue is a leading provider of blue-collar staffing, serving more than 100,000 businesses in the retail, service, wholesale, manufacturing, transportation, aviation, and construction industries.
Moats that matter
While the blue collar staffing industry is typically perceived as one with low barriers to entry, TrueBlue has differentiated itself from its competitors in terms of longevity, specialization and scale.
Firstly, given the boom and bust nature of the industry, more temporary staffing companies resume operations or are started during periods of strong economic growth to ride on the increased demand for labor. In contrast, smaller temporary staffing companies without the requisite scale tend to either go out of business or be acquired by other bigger players. Beginning operations in 1989 under the name Labor Ready, TrueBlue has the longevity to create brand equity in the mind of customers and also seize opportunities to expand through consolidation during bad times.
Secondly, staffing is an industry-specific business, with different industries having their specialized staffing requirements. TrueBlue has branded its industry specific offerings differently, e.g. Spartan Staffing for light industrial, PlaneTechs for mechanics and technicians for the aviation and transportation industries, and Centerline Drivers for dedicated and temporary drivers etc.
Lastly, while not exactly like convenience stores, TrueBlue's geographic reach gives it a competitive advantage over competitors in executing its local sales strategies. On top of national service centers, It has a network of more than 600 branches in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Canada, with customer on-site locations typically dedicated to one customer, to retain its strength in marketing and servicing small-to-mid-sized businesses at the local level.
Growth drivers
According to a September 2012 Staffing Industry Analysts report, the temporary help segment is expected to achieve 106% of their 2007 peak revenues during 2013. TrueBlue is likely to benefit from several regulatory and technological drivers in the near future.
The Affordable Care Act, a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama in March 2010, stipulates that organizations with more than 50 full-time employees that don't offer affordable health coverage will have to pay a penalty, calculated on a per full-time worker basis. More companies are likely to hire more temporary staff to avoid either offering health coverage or paying a penalty.
Technological advancements in the form of mobile solutions, such as texting, will increase the speed and efficiency of job matching for temporary work, in particular those short notice assignments. Online/electronic job placement and social media recruiting also represent future areas of growth for TrueBlue.
Peer comparison
TrueBlue's peers in the staffing industry include Kelly Services (NASDAQ: KELYA) and Manpower (NYSE: MAN).
Manpower is the most geographically diversified of the pack with more than three-quarters of its revenue generated outside the United States, while Kelly Services is expanding its presence in emerging markets such Asia and Latin America; TrueBlue is still very much U.S. centric. They also have strengths in different sectors. Manpower is known for its staffing services in the construction sector; while professionals and technicians look for Kelly Services.
The market values all three stocks at seven to nine times trailing twelve months EV/EBITDA, while forward P/E sets them apart based on their ROE metrics. TrueBlue trades at a forward P/E of 21, while Manpower and Kelly Services trade at 17 and 12 times forward P/E respectively. TrueBlue delivered the highest ROE of 10.7% for the last twelve months, compared with ROEs of 7.9% and 6.8% for Manpower and Kelly Services. Also, while all three companies have relatively strong balance sheets with gearing below 30%, TrueBlue stands out with negligible debt of $34 million. While it was previously debt free, TrueBlue took on $34 million of debt in 2013 with the acquisition of MDT, the third largest general labor staffing firm in the U.S.
TrueBlue's longevity, specialization and scale differentiates it from its competitors and this is reflected in a industry leading ROE above 10% and a forward P/E of 21. TrueBlue is justified trading at such a premium valuation, given its competitive advantage over peers leading to a higher ROE; strong balance sheet; and regulatory and technological growth drivers for the temporary help segment.

InSinkErator Badger or the Waste King Disposal: Which Is Right For You?
If you are taking a closer look at the Waste King Disposal today, you likely are also looking at the InSinkErator Badger. These two popular choices are often among the top contenders for any homeowner looking to replace or upgrade an aged disposal, but of course disposals are not all created equal and so you do want to take a closer look at what you get with each to decide which is right for you.
The Features of the InSinkErator
Before you rush out and buy a Waste King Disposal, you do want to see what theInSinkErator Badger 5 has to offer. This is a half-horsepower disposal that is designed to give you a trouble-free experience for years. It comes with a two-year parts and labor warranty and features galvanized steel construction, stainless steel assemblies, and an induction motor, too.
How It's Different From the Waste King Disposal
Many people who are shopping around for a new disposal will indeed do a side-by-side comparison of these two options. First, you will find that the InSinkErator offers a heavy duty construction and has a compact design that is ideal for smaller spaces. The warranty includes in-home service for your convenience, but with a great motor and stainless steel construction, the warranty likely will not be needed.
The Price
Perhaps the biggest deviation between the InSinkErator and the Waste King Disposal is the price. The InSinkErator is considered to be the more affordable option in terms of both up-front costs to buy and the cost to operate based on the energy it uses. While it may be slightly louder than the other options available, most people find that since the disposal is run for just a minute or two at a time, this is not really bothersome considering the cost savings involved.
What Others Have to Say
If you are leaning more towards the InSinkErator over the Waste King Disposal after learning more about them and doing a side-by-side comparison, you are not alone. The fact is that many other people have also made a similar decision, and you can read all about their results from using the InSinkErator in their homes. Here are just a few of their comments:
"We had this same product put in when we first built the house almost 19 years ago. So, when it broke down on us, we just ordered it again."
- – G Madsen, Amazon.com
"With the added motor power it easily works to perfection, although no quieter than the old one. I can understand why this is the #1 choice of professional plumbers."
- – Gary Sabin, Amazon.com
If You Buy One
Making the decision between the InSinkErator and the Waste King Disposal isn't an easy decision, but if you decide to buy the InSinkErator, like so many others already have, be sure to order it online. You can place your order from the company and enjoy the convenience of having it shipped right to your door without hassle. You will find that the company's website is loaded with great information about the company and the product itself, and you can also often take advantage of some special pricing offers that the company runs from time time which can save you some extra money on your purchase. The fact is that, while these devices only have a relatively short warranty period, many people have the same disposal in their home for 10, 15, or more years. So take some time to really do some research and make a great choice that you will enjoy for years to come.

Lift for trainee barristers as HSBC reinstates BPTC loan
Readers' comments (26)
I'm currently doing the LPC with CoL funded by the Natwest Professional Training Loan with a training contract lined up for when I finish with a niche litigation firm.
I was shocked when I heard that natwest withdrew their loan as I just couldn't see how someone like me, who didn't want to practice in a large corporate firm who offer funding, could afford to do the LPC. For this reason I think the news of HSBC offering a similar product has to be welcomed.
What I do wonder though, is why the LPC could not be incorporated as a 4th year of the LLB and therefore come under normal university funding?
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but there seems to be a lot of people profiting from the law student gravy train who have no interest in making the legal profession more readily accessible to people from all backgrounds.
As much as I lament the death of availability of funds for the GDL/LPC, be sensible. It isn't a charity, no one has an obligation to fund your training and you don't have a "right" to be a lawyer. It's unfortunate that this crisis has dried up credit but...
Why -was- there so much credit in the system to begin with? Blame the central banks and government.
Why are there so many 2:i's and even 1's? Blame government social engineering.
So really, people need to get a wake up call. If the profession is over-saturated with potential applicants, the proper course of action for said applicants - myself included - is to consider less oversubscribed areas of the market. And no, trainees don't earn "low" salaries. They earn a bloody fortune compared to most people. Such a horrid entitlement mentality...
Also, Jen raises a good point. Lawyer's salaries are artificially high due to the regulatory entry barriers to become one (and the pseudo-laments against legal practitioners who don't go through all the SRA's hoops to become lawyers.) It isn't a "conspiracy". It is an open attempt to artificially inflate salaries. Doctors enjoy this kind of protection too, as do many professionals. They've been slick enough to wrap it under the pretence of maintaining "quality"... but why not let the consumer choose what level of quality they want?
I called HSBC this morning, the advisor said they do not offer BPTC loans and that all that would be available is a personal loan to those that have had a salary being paid into a HSBC account in the last three months.
7.5% is hardly a life-line. You could get that rate anywhere on the high street.
HSBC are clearly not the barrister's bank it once was.
Clearly the comments made regarding those students who take on these types of loans as 'stupid' are not made by aspiring lawyers.
How many recent graduates have £12,000 just sitting in the bank ready to dedicate to a qualifying year? How many have the means to work a full-time job along-side the BPTC? How many of us have well-off mummies and daddies willing to fork over such a huge sum?
If a law student is serious about becoming a barrister, they will undertake any costs necessary, just as they will dedicate every working hour to gaining the experience needed to join a top set.
A med student in the USA can have upto $125,000 worth of debt by the time they take up residency. Would you consider those students 'stupid' as well?
It is a means to an end and whether that end makes you £35,000 a year or £1,000,000 a year, a would-be barrister of any speciality will do whatever it takes.

Higher BGE rates might be worth it
Say this for Baltimore Gas & Electric Co., they have a curious sense of timing. Six years ago, they sought a 72 percent rate increase at the same time that their parent company was seeking approval for a merger — and in the middle of a gubernatorial election. That didn't go so well. Now the company is seeking a rate increase — albeit a much more modest one — just after hundreds of thousands of its customers were without power, some of them for more than a week, raising the ire of residents and politicians alike. The last thing those who were in the dark for several sweltering days likely want to hear is that they'll soon be paying more.
