If you are taking medication for diabetes, maybe you should talk to your doctor about adjusting your dosage?

After 6 months gluten-free, this very rarely happens to me anymore, and I can easily go 6 hours without eating.I do eat less processed foods now, and not a lot of starches, so diet (beyond gluten-free) could have been a factor with me.

If you are eating the same as before but simply replacing gluten products with gluten-free products, then you may need to make more of a change for your body to be healthy. Good luck!

Are you eating a lot of gluten free baked goods, pre-made gluten free foods, grains or fruit? Naturally gluten free foods (vegetables, meats, eggs, cheese, etc.) are also what is recommended to keep blood sugars stable, but ready made gluten free foods contain a ton of sugar that can cause blood sugar spikes.
If you are taking medication for diabetes, maybe you should talk to your doctor about adjusting your dosage?
No diabetes, thank goodness. I am doing a lot of the processed gluten free grains though. I am going to try more of the foods you mentioned and see if there is any improvement. Diabetes does run in my family, but I don't.

My hypoglycemia was worse while I was eating gluten. Over the years I had learned to include protein with breakfast or pay the price after an hour or two. Now I eat few starches at all and have not been hypoglycemic at all! I never would have thought that I could eat vegetables and 1egg for breakfast, and those calories would hold me comfortably until lunchtime.
If you are eating the same as before but simply replacing gluten products with gluten-free products, then you may need to make more of a change for your body to be healthy. Good luck!
I'm glad someone else had this experience. I am trying to change my starch intake, as it is very high.

Another thing that could be happening is not low blood sugar at all but a big spike in blood sugar, followed by a quick drop. You may actually even have high blood sugar when this happens. So really you should run this by the Dr.
Are you eating or drinking fast acting carbs? Like white rice? White rice flour? Potatoes? Fruit juice? If so then you might need to change what you are eating to more complex carbs and/or things with fat in them.

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana's private sector employment grew by 8,300 jobs in December, further bolstering a remarkable year of job gains. The Hoosier State added nearly 54,000 jobs in 2012, the largest growth in a calendar year in over a decade.
Private sector employment in Indiana is now at almost 97 percent of pre-recession levels. Claims for unemployment insurance continue to remain below 2005 levels.
"As evidenced by our December employment numbers, Indiana experienced an exceptional year of job growth in 2012," said Scott B. Sanders, Commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development. "The Hoosier State has increased private sector employment by nearly 157,000 since July 2009, the low point of employment in our state, and has been a national leader in job growth during that period."
Sanders also noted that while private sector employment increased significantly in December, Indiana's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate edged up to 8.2 percent mainly due to more than 7,000 unemployed Hoosiers returning to the labor force to look for work.
Employment sectors in Indiana that exceeded the national rate of growth in 2012 include Manufacturing (3.7 percent versus 1.5 percent), Leisure and Hospitality (4.3 percent versus 2.4 percent), Trade, Transportation & Utilities (2.6 percent versus 1.4 percent) and Construction (1.4 percent versus 0.3 percent). Indiana's rate of private sector growth again exceeded the national rate in 2012 (2.2 percent versus 1.7 percent).
Sectors showing gains in December include: Construction (4,300), Leisure and Hospitality (2,000), Professional and Business Services (1,900) and Financial Activities (1,400). The Private Educational & Health Services (-700) sector showed decline. Total non-farm employment increased in December (6,000).

|Full Game Replay: Duke 45, N.C. Central 0
|Condensed Game: Duke 45, N.C. Central 0
|Full Radio Broadcast: Duke 45, N.C. Central 0
DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke outgained North Carolina Central 488-184 to run away with a 45-0 victory over the Eagles to kick off the 2013 football season. The shutout was the first for the Blue Devils since Nov. 18, 1989 against North Carolina.
Saturday's season opener featured a balanced offensive effort for the Blue Devils with six different players scoring touchdowns. Overall, Duke gained 257 yards on the ground with sophomore Jela Duncan and redshirt junior Josh Snead leading the way with 76 and 53 yards, respectively.
Redshirt junior quarterback Anthony Boone, in his second career start, connected on 16-of-20 passes for 176 yards while adding a rushing touchdown. Backup quarterback Brandon Connette threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another, with Duncan, junior Jamison Crowder and redshirt junior Issac Blakeney rounding out the scoring group.
Redshirt junior Braxton Deaver and Connette teamed up to tally the first points of the 2013 campaign with 5:09 left in the first quarter. After a 25-yard punt return from Crowder put the Blue Devils in N.C. Central territory, Duke used a balance of passing and running to get to the Eagles' 5-yard line. Connette took over from there, moving the ball to the three on his own and capping the drive with a three-yard toss to Deaver in the left corner of the end zone.
Duke continued to dominate defensively, allowing just one first down before the Eagles were forced to punt for the second straight time. Fresh off of his 25-yard scamper on the previous punt, Crowder took the second 76 yards all the way back to the house. The 76-yard return marked the seventh longest in Duke history and was the junior's first career punt return for a touchdown.
With one passing touchdown already on the afternoon, Connette took advantage of a 19-yard pass from Boone to senior Brandon Braxton to the two-yard line to set up the redshirt junior quarterback's one-yard plunge into the end zone for a 21-0 lead.
Boone, who went 14-of-17 for 153 yards in the first half, closed out the scoring with a one-yard rush for six points. The first-year starter combined for 54 yards on the 11-play, 73-yard drive that sent the Blue Devils into the half with a 28-0 lead. The touchdown came on the heels of a fumble recovery for a touchdown by the Eagles that was overturned after a replay.
The Blue Devils, after forcing the Eagles to punt for the sixth time of the afternoon, took over at the N.C. Central 44. After two first-down completions from Boone to Crowder, Duncan took over with 16 and 13-yard carries to put Duke back inside the 5-yard line. Coming out of an Eagle timeout, Duncan punched the ball in from the three for his fifth career rushing touchdown.
Ross Martin tacked on a 39-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to put the final score at 45-0.
Duke dominated in all facets of the game, outgaining the Eagles 488-184 and holding them to just nine first downs. Junior David Helton and redshirt junior Kelby Brown led all defensive players with seven total tackles, while redshirt sophomore Jeremy Cash recorded five, including four solo and a tackle for loss, in his first game in a Blue Devil uniform.
The Blue Devils hit the road next weekend, traveling to Memphis, Tenn., Saturday, Sept. 7 for a 4:30 p.m. tilt with the Tigers. That game will be broadcast on ESPN3.

Sandra Daley, Ronald Garcia and Jeffrey Oxendine awarded $25,000 each for leadership in increasing diversity in the health professions
Three extraordinary higher education leaders will be honored as the 2010 Champions of Health Professions Diversity by The California Wellness Foundation (TCWF).
University of California San Diego Associate Chancellor Sandra P. Daley has advocated for academic enrichment programs that reach disadvantaged students, as early as in middle school, who are interested in health and science careers.
Stanford University's Ronald D. Garcia developed a nationally recognized admissions procedure that considers the whole path a student applicant has taken, leveling the playing field and increasing the diversity of the student population.
Jeffrey S. Oxendine, at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health, uses his background in business and public health to create programs that develop and increase diversity in the health workforce.
On June 14, 2010, TCWF will honor these three leaders at its eighth annual "Champions of Health Professions Diversity Award" ceremony in San Francisco. In recognition of their efforts to reach out, mentor and support disadvantaged students preparing for health careers, the honorees will each receive a cash award of $25,000.
Increasing California's health workforce and its diversity is important for improving the health of Californians. Our state's population continues to grow and, by 2020, it will be older and significantly more ethnically and racially diverse.
Already there are shortages of workers in nearly all sectors of the health workforce. A workforce that mirrors the racial and ethnic diversity of California will provide the cultural competence and language proficiency necessary to provide highquality health care for all Californians.
"Given the changing demographics of our state and the current shortage of health workers, we must encourage and support young people in California to consider pursuing jobs and careers in health fields," said Gary L. Yates, TCWF president and CEO.
"These leaders have pioneered programs and policies that track, support and guide students on a path from underresourced schools to higher education and health professions."

Un Fleuve Humain
In Mali, the River Niger's inner delta is a tangle of canals, rivers, lakes, islands, ponds, meadows, flood zones and a mosaic of ethnic peoples. The film methodically sets about undermining appearances and clichés attached to this sea of tranquillity. A fish-seller is worried: the riverside rushes are disappearing, as are the fish that shelter among them. The Peul herder talks of the big cats that are becoming rarer, of his cattle's sickness now the ponds are drying up. The Niger is a living being, not just a surface of water, a complex organism that is slowly dying under our eyes, without our realising it.

Winter 2007 Fancy Food Show
Best of Show ~ January 2007 ~ San Francisco
Each January specialty food retailers, gift store buyers, food writers and others pilgrimage to San Francisco in search of the newest products with which to tempt consumers. The Winter Fancy Food Show is the "smaller" of the NASFT's* two main food shows: "only" 80,000 products and 50 long rows at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
*The National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT.org) is the professional association for specialty food producers. Its 2,390 members produce nearly 180,000 specialty food products.
Walking nonstop from the moment the show opens until the moment it closes, it is possible to breeze past all of the exhibitors in the show, although of course, not possible to stop at most of them. Fortunately, after ten-plus years of attending this show, we seem to have tasted and/or reviewed the products at every third booth, so, much as we might like to stop, we move, ever in search of the truly exceptional products that we want to write about in THE NIBBLE.
After getting to the end of the very last aisle, our impressions are these:
Small Trends
Some trickles, not trends:
Big Trends
Here trends were quite visible:
And The Winners Are...
Our three favorite products from the show, which will be future Top Picks Of The Week:
Congratulations to all who came and displayed delicious products. Those who have been mentioned in our "Best of Show" articles before can't be mentioned again, but we enjoyed re-tasting every one of them!

A fire in Waldorf originating in a refrigerator displaced residents Tuesday.
At 5:41 a.m. Sept. 17, 30 firefighters from volunteer departments in Waldorf, La Plata, Brandywine, Baden, Bryans Road, Clinton and Hughesville responded to the 2200 block of Old Washington Road in Waldorf for a house fire.
The Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office reported that the fire was discovered by occupant Eli Espini and was ruled accidental from a malfunctioning compact refrigerator. The fire originated in a bedroom of the single-story, wood-framed house.
It took firefighters five minutes to control the one-alarm fire. Damage was estimated at $30,000.
According to Deputy Fire Marshal John Nelson, the occupants of the home were displaced and staying with friends.
A smoke alarm was present and operating at the time of the fire, according to Nelson's report.

Here, I have not bothered to cook the veggies and wheat separately but cooked the wheat in a sort of stock where the vegetables have been half cooked. Next time, I intend to do it the way mom does it for the 'baath' and will update the results here.
The result of the dish below is a cross between an upma and a pulao, which could have been due to some confusion in my head. The dals, ginger and curry leaves are the seasoning that are done in case of upmas and the whole spices are from the pulao end of the spectrum. You could use either one or both of them.
3/4 cup cracked wheat, medium sized
1/2 tsp ghee / butter
5-6 cups of finely chopped vegetables
I used-
Fresh green peas
Green beans
Fenugreek greens
2 tsp olive oil
2 bay leaves
4-5 cloves
1-2 sticks of cinnamon
2 green cardamoms
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp udad dal
1 tsp chana dal
1 tsp chopped green chillies
1/2 tsp finely grated ginger
1-2 dried red chillies, broken
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp sambhar powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
In a large wok, heat the ghee / butter and saute the cracked wheat for 3-4 minutes on medium flame till fragrant. Remove in a bowl. Cover with 3 cups of boiling hot water, cover and keep aside.
In the same wok, heat the olive oil and add the whole spices (bay leaves, cloves, cumin, cardamom). After 30 seconds, add the mustard seeds. Let them crackle, and follow it with the udad dal and chana dal. These need to be sauteed for 1 minute on low to medium flame to turn them golden brown.
Next, add the green chillies, ginger, curry leaves, red chillies. Stir them around for a minute or so, and transfer all the chopped veggies and greens into the wok. Add half the salt, sprinkle with water and cover with a tight fitting lid. Give it a stir every 2 minutes with more sprinkles of water. OR Place a thali (a dish with a rim) with one cup water in it to cover the wok and let the veggies cook for 6-8 minutes till almost tender.
At this point, tip the bowl with the cracked wheat in hot water, into the wok. Add the spice powders (turmeric powder, sambhar powder), remaining salt, stir well and cover until the cracked wheat is cooked till tender. This will take around 6-8 minutes depending on size of the grains. Adjust salt and spiciness. Fluff with a fork and remove into a serving bowl.
Serve hot with a bowl of chilled raita.

Taking part in Friday morning's draw was interesting to say the least.
Not only did it throw up many intriguing first-round matches — not to mention many potentially thrilling encounters in the later rounds — but MC Bruce McAvaney kept me firmly on my toes.
''Who do you think is better looking: Maria Sharapova or Maria Kirilenko?'' is not the kind of question I'm used to being asked, but you can't say he didn't make it interesting!
He also mocked me a bit for some past defeats, as we went through the women's draw and name-checked players who had inflicted some tough losses on me in the past. But it was all in good spirit and I enjoyed being part of the ceremony.
Usually I tend to avoid doing draws—I prefer not to know whom I could meet in the second round, let alone the quarter-finals. It's a waste of energy to look too far ahead.
Someone once told me a story about a male player, I forget his name, who had looked at the draw and knew he would play Pete Sampras if he won his match.
He got into a winning position and then the thought of such a big match the next day got the better of him, and it affected his play. He lost.
Tennis can be a very simple game, but it can also be very complicated.
When you introduce factors such as who you might play in future rounds, you make things more complicated than they need to be.
I can certainly say that I have been most successful in tournaments when I have just taken it match-by-match and not thought too far ahead.
The best example of that is when I won the French Open. Looking back, I was so focused on each individual match only.
I am an excitable person and it's not easy for me to do this. In fact, when I was younger I sometimes got carried away with things when I knew I had an opportunity to go far. It didn't help.
After the women's draw was completed I left the stage to make way for John McEnroe, who was doing the men's draw.
Obviously, I'm too young to have seen him in his prime, but like everybody in tennis I know all about his incredible talent, and, of course, his famous on-court temperament.
I know that some people miss the days of McEnroe and Jimmy Connors and believe that players today should be more expressive. I have mixed feelings about it.
I think that it's important to behave well on court, to set a good example to young players, but I also think that players should be allowed to be who they really are on the court.
I always feel a lot of excitement when I arrive at a tournament location, especially Melbourne which I love so much. Now that the draw has been made and we are just a day away from starting, it can't come soon enough.

Criminal Justice is the scientific study of crime, delinquent and criminal behavior, and society's response. Through our curriculum, students examine a variety of theoretical perspectives and competing viewpoints, and are equipped with the analytical and research tools for understanding and exploring issues of crime and justice.
Our goal is to help students develop a body of general and verified principles and other types of knowledge regarding the process of law, crime and treatment or prevention.

Life Dynamics was founded as a non-profit pro-life organization in 1992 by pro-life activist
Mark Crutcher. We've gained a reputation
among pro-life groups for our abortion research, our respected Abortion Malpractice Litigation campaign against
abortion providers and our aggressive anti abortion Direct Mail Program that helps other pro-life organizations
target Planned Parenthood, National Abortion Federation or other abortion clinics in their area.
In the pro-life movement our particular pro-life organization is also known for undercover investigations
against abortion providers such as our baby body parts investigation. When we exposed the sale of baby body parts,
it shocked pro-life activists. Now it's the National Abortion Federation & Planned Parenthood that are being
shocked by our unique abortion research. That's because
our most recent undercover abortion research effort
exposed a cover-up of child sex abuse by America's two largest abortion providers, Planned Parenthood & the
National Abortion Federation (NAF). The payoff for the pro-life movement will when civil lawsuits are filed
against Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation clinics by victims of sexual predators who suffered
ongoing abuse because these groups concealed child abuse and statutory rape. This anti abortion research should
also be used by pro-life organizations to call for criminal actions against abortion clinics that conceal child abuse
Unique among national right to life groups is our anti-abortion legal strategy for the pro-life abortion battle.
Our Abortion Malpractice
(ABMAL) program provides litigation support services to attorneys in medical malpractice
cases against abortion clinic operators and abortionists. Pro-choice quotes
admit that abortion lawsuits are a threat to abortion clinics (because they know that injuries from botched abortions
and abortion deaths happen on a regular basis).
Beyond abortion law, our Direct
Mail Program (DMP) alerts doctors and medical students to the stigma that attaches to abortionists.
We also help local pro-life organizations fight the anti-abortion battle with DMP products. We provide the
artwork without charge, custom design pieces for specific uses, such as targeting an abortionist or community,
and even help local pro-life organizations generate their mailing lists for their fight against abortion.
LDI produces a wide range of products designed to help the pro-life side win. For example
our book, ACCESS: The Key to Pro-Life Victory
shows why reducing access to abortion services is the best pro-life strategy and
the Special Report on Child Predators
exposes the abortion industry's weakest link.
LifeTalk is a monthly pro-life
television program that provides the pro-life community with the latest news on the abortion battle, interviews
with pro-life leaders and answers to viewer questions on the most critical moral issue of our day. We also
offer a quarterly 1-hour pro-life special free to broadcasters
that want air quality pro-life programming.
ABC News' 20/20 broadcast a segment based on our two-year undercover investigation
that exposed the abortion industry's selling of baby body parts, so we still get a lot of requests
on this issue. Our book The Marketing of Aborted Babies
contains the proof that exposed this hidden, grisly side-business of America's abortion clinics.

Patco 5560 Removable Protective Film Tape is a clean removal tape which combines a durable and conformable polyethylene film backing with a moderate tack, low adhesion acrylic adhesive which will not leave residue or damage most surfaces. it is used for general protective masking applications on plastics, glass, and metal that require temporary surface protection through assembly or shipping. Patco 5560 is highly conformable; abrasion, moisture and solvent resistant; and removes cleanly and easily. This tape does have moderate tack adhesive on one side which allows it to stay adhered during a shipping process; it is not a static-cling-only type tape (see 3M 2112C for a very low adhesive protective film tape). Also note this tape is not crystal clear like a book repair tape; it is more transparent to translucent and is designed so end users can easily identify the tape in order to remove it.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Test ID: B2M
Beta-2-Microglobulin (Beta-2-M), Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Prognosis assessment of multiple myeloma
Evaluation of renal tubular disorders
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Beta-2-microglobulin (beta-2-M) is a small membrane protein (11,800 Dalton) associated with the heavy chains of class I major histocompatibility complex proteins and is, therefore, on the surface of all nucleated cells. The small size allows beta-2-M to pass through the glomerular membrane, but it is almost completely reabsorbed in the proximal tubules.
Serum beta-2-M levels are elevated in diseases associated with increased cell turnover. Levels are also elevated in several benign conditions such as chronic inflammation, liver disease, renal dysfunction, some acute viral infections, and a number of malignancies, especially hematologic malignancies associated with the B-lymphocyte lineage.
In multiple myeloma, beta-2-M is a powerful prognostic factor and values <4 mcg/mL are considered a good prognostic factor.
In renal tubular disease, serum levels are low and urine levels are high. Although urine beta-2-M has been used to assess tubular dysfunction, it is not stable in urine below pH 5.5.
See Diagnosis and Monitoring of Multiple Myeloma in Publications. Also see Laboratory Screening Tests for Suspected Multiple Myeloma in Special Instructions.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
1.21-2.70 mcg/mL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Serum beta-2-microglobulin (beta-2-M) <4 mcg/mL is a good prognostic factor in patients with multiple myeloma. In a study of pretreatment serum beta-2-M levels in 100 patients with myeloma it was reported that the median survival of patients with values >4 mcg/mL was 12 months, whereas median survival for patients with values <4 mcg/mL was 43 months.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Steps are a British pop group created by manager Tim Byrne and writers Steve Crosby and Barry Upton, and consisting of members Lisa Scott-Lee, Claire Richards, Faye Tozer, Lee Latchford-Evans, and Ian "H" Watkins. Formed on 6 May 1997, Steps recorded a total of three studio albums, two compilation albums, released sixteen singles throughout their career. Their musical approach throughout the course of their career had a strong 1990s pop sound, similar to many artists of their time. Their name was based around a simple marketing gimmick: each of their music videos was choreographed, and the dance steps were included with most of their single releases. Over the five years they were together, Steps achieved a series of charting singles between 1997 and 2001 including 2 number one singles in the UK, 2 number one albums in the UK, 14 consecutive top 5 singles in the UK and a string of hits throughout Europe. The group have sold over 10 million records and 2 million concert tickets worldwide in addition to acquiring a BRIT Award nomination in 1999 for Best Newcomer while supporting Britney Spears on the UK leg of her tour the same year. However, when group members Claire Richards and Ian "H" Watkins departed the group, the group disbanded on 26 December 2001. Their penultimate single reached number-five in the UK charts while their final album of greatest hits, Gold (2001), scored the band their second number one album in the UK.

Team 2012-13: Houston Rockets (USA-NBA)
Career: Zalgiris-Sabonis Basketball School (Lithuania-NKL, 2005-07); Zalgiris Kaunas (Lithuania-LKL, 2007-08); Aisciai Kaunas (Lithuania-LKL, 2008-09); Benetton Treviso (Italy-Lega, 2009-11); Asseco Prokom Gdynia (Poland-PLK, 2011-12); Houston Rockets (USA-NBA, 2012-13)
Donatas Motiejunas is back in the national team's training camp after a year off so he could prepare for his rookie season in the NBA. Although in 2010 and 2011, the 22-year-old power forward did not manage to make the cut, he is set to make his official debut for Lithuania in Slovenia. The first season across the pond was rather turbulent for Motiejunas, as he had to prove himself in the D-League before eventually earning a spot in the starting five for the Houston Rockets at the end of the season. Exhibiting a unique combination of height, quickness and skill, Motiejunas is one of the top European talents and will surely have a big impact, especially after the injury of Paulius Jankunas, which will give more opportunities to his younger compatriot.

|Vermont Bird Tours
Photo (c) copyright Bryan Pfeiffer
Bryan Pfeiffer is probably the best known name in birding around this part of Vermont. He is also a naturalist and lepidopterologist of some note.
Most of all for birders, he's an enthusiastic, engaging speaker and teacher. There may not be anything he loves more than birding but if there is, it would be talking about birding. He's a treasure trove of fascinating information and he loves to share it.
A few years ago, he was often on WDEV, the local radio station, speaking about birds in the area and taking calls from listeners. Often those callers wanted to know what kind of unusual bird they were hearing. They would give the most awful imitation of what they were hearing and quick as lightning, Bryan would be playing a recording of the actual bird and telling the radio audience some interesting facts about it. How he could interpret what these callers were trying to sound like is beyond me but it must have come from years of hearing people try to describe (terribly and inaccurately) what they had heard.
Bryan is exactly the kind of person you would want to go birding with. You will have several opportunities to do so coming up soon.
If you are a beginner, Bryan's Spring Birdwatching for Beginners will be held May 1 and 2. He will be discussing all the basics from boots and binoculars to bird songs.
On May 16, he will be hosting the Bird Bonanza at Berlin Pond, a bird sanctuary near Montpelier VT. May is the peak of spring bird migration and Brian has seen more than 150 species of birds there over the last 25 years. You might even see a Bald Eagle or Moose on this outing.
Later in May, Bryan will be leading the Warbler Weekends at Highland Lodge overlooking beautiful Caspian Lake. These outings will be held May 22-24, and May 29-31.
July 5 is the date for a different type of watching. Bryan's Butterflies for Beginners has introduced hundreds of people to the wonders of the butterfly world through this course. You will be on the hunt for the Great Spangled Fritillary, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, and many more.
For more information on the tours, see Vermont Bird Tours website.
You can learn more about Bryan at his Wings Environmental website and see some beautiful photography at his Wings Photography website.

After the first National training that took place last December in Albania, national trainings for legal professionals will take place on 17-18 June 2014 in Sarajevo and on 23 June 2015 in Cahul, the Republic of Moldova. It is expected to have some 30 legal practitioners present at each training.
The national trainings aim to improve the understanding of lawyers, judges and prosecutors from member States concerning Roma and consequently their work as legal professionals, i.e. to raise lawyers awareness and interests in representing Roma before national courts and the ECtHR; to help prosecutors and judges to lead unbiased investigations involving Roma and /or conduct unbiased trials and criminal investigations, in line with specific powers and functions at national level, also based on existing case-law on Roma.
The outcome would be the creation of a specific pool of legal professionals/HR trainers with an interest in Roma issues, not only to help the Council of Europe's work, but also the work of other human rights national and international organisations dealing with this issue.

Whether you're managing your employer's funds, a client's savings, or simply looking out for your own well-being, Weiss Ratings is the place to turn for identifying the truly safest financial institutions you'll want to do business with.
Every quarter, we monitor the financial strength of 9,000 commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loans across the nation. We then issue Financial Strength Ratings based on our analysts' review of publicly available regulatory filings provided by SNL Financial LC.
Unlike the other bank rating agencies, our rating scale is extremely straightforward and easy to understand. There are no complicated number grades to interpret, no colored paper to decode, and no stars to count. Instead, you get a simple, intuitive letter grade that immediately identifies the wheat from the chaff.
A weak bank or thrift represents a potential for financial loss to its depositors, as well as a number of headaches and hassles for both its depositors and borrowers. And if a failed institution is taken over by another bank, customers can be forced to accept lower interest rates on their CDs or even lose an existing line of credit.
That's why it is important to check the financial security offered by a financial institution prior to opening an account and then periodically monitor the company's condition going forward. Low-rated banks and thrifts should be avoided in favor of highly rated companies.

This is part of a series of seven articles describing new bioluminescent substrates to be used for drug screening and assaying enzymatic activity.
Mary Sobol, Dongping Ma and James J. Cali
CYP3A enzymes are cytochromes P450 (CYPs) that oxidize many endogenous compounds, drugs and other xenobiotics (1)
. CYP3A7 is the predominant CYP3A enzyme in fetal and neonatal liver. CYP3A7 expression declines after birth in parallel with a dramatic increase in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, which become the most abundant CYPs in adult liver and intestine (2)
. CYP3A7 assay chemistries are frequently cross-reactive with CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 and commonly require chromatographic steps that limit the assays in terms of ease-of-use and throughput. Consequently, there is a need for a simple, rapid multiwell plate-based CYP3A7 assay that is met by the luminogenic assay described here.
Luminogenic CYP assays use prosubstrates for the light-generating reaction of firefly luciferase. CYPs convert the prosubstrates to luciferin, which makes light in a second reaction with luciferase (3)
. The amount of light generated is proportional to the amount of luciferin produced by the CYP and therefore to CYP enzyme activity (4)
. Multiple CYP enzymes are encoded by families of genes in humans and other organisms (5)
. The CYP enzyme selectivity for a given luminogenic substrate depends on the nature of the derivatization on the luciferin structure.
Here we demonstrate that 2,2′-(6,6′-(1,3-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(oxy)bis(benzo[d]thiazole-6,2-diyl))bis(4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid), a bis-luciferin referred to herein as Luciferin-3A7, is a luciferase prosubstrate that is selectively converted to luciferin by the human CYP3A7 enzyme with little or no detectable activity with CYP3A4 or CYP3A5. We describe how this luciferase prosubstrate is used in a luminogenic CYP3A7 biochemical assay to detect CYP3A7 activity and CYP3A7 inhibitors.
The CYP3A7 enzyme assay was performed using instructions in the P450-Glo™ Assay Technical Bulletin #TB325 and P450-Glo™ Screening Systems Technical Bulletin #TB340. The CYP enzymes used were recombinant human forms in microsomes from insect cells that coexpress a human CYP cDNA with P450 reductase, or P450 reductase plus cytochrome b5 (Gentest™ Supersomes™, BD Biosciences). A 5mM stock solution of Luciferin-3A7 substrate (molecular weight = 662.77) was prepared in 100mM KPO4 buffer. The 50µl CYP3A7 enzyme assays were performed using 30µM Luciferin-3A7 substrate (Cat.# P1741) or as indicated in figure legends, 100mM KPO4 (pH 7.4), 20nM CYP3A7 enzyme coexpressed with P450 reductase and cytochrome b5 (1pmol/50µl reaction), and 1X NADPH Regeneration System (Cat.# V9510).
Assays were assembled and performed in opaque white 96-well plates (e.g., white polystyrene, 96-well plates [Costar Cat.# 3912]). After incubating reactions for 20 or 30 minutes at 37°C or room temperature (20–23°C), 50µl of Luciferin Detection Reagent (LDR; Cat.# V8920, V8921) was added to each 50µl CYP reaction to stop the reactions and initiate luminescence. Luminescence was read after 20 minutes using the GloMax® 96 Microplate Luminometer (Cat.# E6501) and reported in relative light units (RLU).
For convenience, you can prepare a 4X concentrated enzyme/buffer/substrate mix (400mM KPO4 [pH 7.4], 120µM Luciferin-3A7, 80nM CYP3A7), 4X concentrated test compound solution (e.g., for CYP inhibition assays) and 2X concentrated NADPH Regeneration System. For a 50µl reaction, combine 12.5µl of the 4X enzyme mixture with 12.5µl of 4X test compound and initiate the reaction by adding 25µl of the NADPH Regeneration System (6)
The putative luminogenic CYP substrate, Luciferin-3A7, was initially screened for activity in the luminescent assay format against 21 recombinant human CYP enzymes (Figure 1). Under the conditions used in Figure 1, we observed minor reactivity with CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, but the most prominent activity was with CYP3A7.
An anticipated reaction scheme with Luciferin-3A7 (I) is shown at the top. Intensity of luminescence generated by LDR depends on the conversion of I to luciferin (II). Fifty microliter reactions with 5µM Luciferin-3A7 and 20nM recombinant human CYP enzymes in 96-well plates were incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. Values are mean ± SD, n = 3.
At both room temperature and 37°C, a time-dependent linear increase in luminescence was observed up to 30 minutes (Figure 2). The modest deviations from linearity after 30 minutes may reflect instability of the CYP3A7 enzyme.
Time-dependent changes in net luminescence were monitored at room temperature (22°C) and 37°C. Fifty microliter reactions were performed in 96-well plates with 50µM Luciferin-3A7 and 20nM CYP3A7 in 100mM KPO4 (pH 7.4). CYP reactions were initiated by staggered addition of the NADPH Regeneration System. All CYP reactions were simultaneously terminated and luciferase reactions initiated by adding 50µl of LDR. Zero-time values were measured in samples where the NADPH Regeneration System was withheld until after LDR addition. The luminescence shown was total luminescence of samples minus luminescence of control samples with no CYP enzyme. Values are mean ± SD, n = 3.
A concentration-dependent increase in CYP3A7 activity was observed up to a maximal rate between 50–100µM of Luciferin-3A7, with a slight decrease at 200µM (Figure 3). The data fit well to a substrate inhibition model (R2=0.99) described by the equation Y = (Vmax × S)/(Km + S + [S × S/Ki]), where S = substrate concentration, Y = activity in relative light units (RLU), Km = the half maximal rate, and Ki = the substrate inhibition constant. The calculated Km and Ki values are 33µM and 189µM, respectively.
Reactions with 20nM CYP3A7 and 100mM KPO4 (pH 7.4) were incubated for 20 minutes at 37°C. The curve fit to a substrate inhibition model was performed using GraphPad Prism® software. The luminescence shown (mean ± SD, n = 3) is total luminescence of samples minus luminescence of control samples lacking CYP enzyme at each substrate concentration.
Signals from a reaction at 30µM of Luciferin-3A7 increased in a linear fashion with increasing CYP3A7 enzyme concentration up to 10nM of enzyme (Figure 4). The lowest concentration of CYP3A7 tested (0.625pM) gave activity above the limit of detection (LOD). By extrapolation of a linear regression for values ≤10nM of CYP3A7 enzyme, the LOD for these reaction conditions is 0.3nM of CYP3A7, when LOD is defined as the mean of the background plus three standard deviations.
Reactions were performed with a range of CYP3A7 concentrations. Reactions used 30µM Luciferin-3A7 and were incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The luminescence shown (mean ± SD, n = 3) is total luminescence of samples minus luminescence of control samples with no CYP enzyme.
We tested CYP3A7 inhibition using the CYP3A7 assay with 30µM of Luciferin-3A7, the approximate Km concentration (Figure 5). Dose-dependent inhibition by ketoconazole was observed with an IC50 of 0.4µM, which correlates well with a previously published value for CYP3A7 inhibition by ketoconazole (8)
Using 20nM CYP3A7, enzyme inhibition was assayed using 30µM Luciferin-3A7 in the presence of ketoconazole at the indicated concentrations. The ketoconazole was diluted from a 25mM stock solution in DMSO, and the contribution of this vehicle was kept constant at 0.1% in all reactions. Reactions were incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes before adding LDR. Background luminescence from control samples with no CYP enzyme (mean background = 22,573 RLU) was subtracted to give the net luminescence values shown (mean ± SD, n = 3).
Luciferin-3A7, a novel luciferin derivative, is a luminogenic cytochrome P450 substrate with excellent selectivity for the human CYP3A7 enzyme. The application of Luciferin-3A7 to the luminogenic CYP enzyme assay approach harnesses the exquisite sensitivity, selectivity and simplicity of bioluminescence. This provides for an easy, rapid, multiwell plate-based CYP3A7 enzyme assay that can be used to screen for potential CYP3A7 inhibitory compounds.

""Wordsmith" is to words what ? is to photographs
January 28, 2008, 09:47:43 AM »
What is the photographic equivalent of a wordsmith?
Actually, this is just a starter for a bigger set of questions about words and images. It was prompted by a comment elsewhere on the forum that 90% of what's online is "crap".
First, a little background. When people ask me what I do for a living, I currently take the easy way out and say I'm a writer, although that's only part of the truth. I'm actually a wordsmith, among other things. Expressing ideas and information through words is a craft/art that I've worked at over many years; it's shaped by linguistics, journalism and psychology as well as active reading and listening.
As a wordsmith, I'm pretty sensitive to the way words are used, but I have to detune that sensitivity a lot of the time. We're increasingly deluged in words by the traditional media and on the Internet, which is a very wordy medium. Most of the people who talk/write aren't particularly skilled at it, and the percentage of "crap" about is probably a lot higher than 90%. Yet for me the net effect is not that I despair at the low quality stuff; rather, when I read/hear words and ideas that are truly well crafted, I get very excited.
Bearing in mind that many people on LL are professional photographers, I'm wondering what the world now looks like to real image-smiths. As with words+ideas, so with images; the equipment to produce both is easily available, and anybody can "broadcast" their stuff to the world. How do professional image-smiths feel about images being churned out in the millions every second? Are the gazillions of images raising awareness of quality, or are they driving standards down?

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=170238\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The ubiquitous nature of photography today is very healthy, in that many different types of people have fun doing it. As I see it, that is the point for most people. And the gobs of images on the web are much easier to ignore than say, when a friend of a friend breaks out the photo album from their recent trip to Timbuktu.

Are the gazillions of images raising awareness of quality, or are they driving standards down?
Interesting question. It's tempting to want to assume that because of the increase in quantity, there would be also be an increase in the number of quality photos that are available to be seen (where here quality means an amalgam of things that "make you want to look at the photos"). If there are more pictures being displayed generally, then there is some chance that there will be more
pictures being displayed. If 2 out of every photographers produces good work, or if 2 out of every 100 photographs that a photographer makes are good, then the more that they display, the more good photos will be displayed. It may not be any easier finding the good ones though, since there is more wading to do.
The ease of display may work against that "goodness" percentage, however. If it's too easy to display, then it's easier to put up lesser work, especially since the photographers themselves choose what to display. They may not always be objective.
But the presence of countless great works of literature in libraries, bookstores, bookcases in our homes, hasn't necessarily done much to increase literacy or love of literature, or so it seems to me. I'd prefer to be wrong. That is, just because the good photos are there on countless obscure web sites that hardly anyone visits, does not mean they will have an impact.
But re-reading your last paragraph, I see that you are directing your question more to professional photographers; I am not one. I can see where the increasing web presence of their work would have a great impact, because potential customers can easily and quickly view the works of many pros. I can imagine that this greatly facilitates shopping for a wedding photography, for example. It's a good question whether this will have the effect of increasing quality or driving down standards. In the commercial realm, the internet has in some ways reduced choice among consumers. A small number of large internet vendors seem to have rapidly become dominant in some market sectors, more or less what previously also happened in suburban malls where vendor competition was reduced. Usually, reduced competition is not good.
It's an odd mix, dominant vertical development and widespread grassroots collectives. I cannot guess where it leads. But I tend to question whether this situation is long-lived. There are millions of film SLR's collecting dust in dresser drawers all over the world. Most people who bought them used them for a while then gradually lost interest. We're seeing an explosion in digital imaging, but we shouldn't assume that it will go on forever. Once people get over the gee-whiz factor of putting some pics up on a web site, will they eventually get bored? How many will take the image-making seriously enough to keep doing it, or will the digicams end up in the dresser drawers too?

As with the other thread comparing snapshooters to "serious photographers", I think what we have when comparing "wordsmiths" to "general writing" is much the same.
Most people use words whether spoken or written to communicate on a pretty basic level much as snapshooters do to "capture a moment". Trained writers much like trained photographers strive a lot harder to communicate on a higher and more thought out level.
That being said there are probably bad, good and great wordsmiths just as their are bad good and great photographers. Also just because one has the tools, education and ideas too make them great wordsmiths or photographers, doesn't necessarily make their end product original, compelling or interesting.

Interesting question: how do pros view today´s world of pictures?
I think it is difficult to do other than supply a personal, subjective response to that sort of question. As a pro - possibly one who retired too early - I think that there are two questions to address: the artistic one and the financial one.
Starting with the artistic, I think that the advent of the web has allowed pros to see much more work from other pros in their own field as well as in many different fields that they might not have otherwise noticed. This has been both good and bad: the good thing is that the more one sees the more one has available by which to measure ones own output, but, on the other hand, personal style can take a beating. In the case of fashion, the genre which, along with calendars interests me most, there is now a clear tendency to kill skin completely and make women seem fashioned from shiny plastic. This may or may not be a digital capture factor, but it is now ubiquitous and I do not like it. To me, just another illustration of the computer operator taking more away from the photographer and making things less photographic.
Photographic style is now governed very much by the availability of money: simple photographic shoots consisting of photographer and lone model seem to be but memories; teamwork is de rigueur and with teamwork comes ever more complex lighting (you have to justify the extra muscle somehow!), more people messing with the message and so it goes. As Helmut Newton said: everything is such a big deal nowadays! Clients see the new way, think it is what it´s all about and so it perpetuates itself.
Financially, I suppose that for some, the web has been a disaster waiting to happen, whilst for others a letter from God. So much choice sometimes renders work less valuable. I don´t for a moment believe that, in general, choice allows better work to command higher reward; as with the supermarket model, choice is often not choice at all when those offering that choice seem able, magically, to price within a cent of one another. Photography doesn´t allow for much loss-leading either!
Anyone having experience of stock, pre-Getty and Corbis, will know too well how painfully the web and mega agencies have impacted upon viability; there is no need for me to amplify. Suffice to say, investment in shooting people stock was always dodgy - today, suicidal!
So yes, I was a much happier professional bunny pre-web!

Well turd burgers! Looks as though they are going to merge the boards. Seems to me a large majority here opted to keep it as is when asked by Miller. Oh well so much for this boards democracy? Seems that the majority has no say so now-a-days anyway. May as well go with the flow. Perhaps it may be a good thing?

the lets add to it and make it better thing has come up many times over the years i been here and on Ask Andy (M.S) and most always say leave it, its not brok, we like it and the other sites being all broken up is why we are here instead of there. so far they have managed to screw up the hobart board but leave this one alown. i don't know who keeps thinking changing it is a good idea ?? its definitely not the members. many wont even go to the hobart board any more. they say it wont be as much of a change as the hobart board, but is it just the first of many add on's ? its sad if ya ask me. i think the members should be listened to. we use it we know what we want and what we don't want. if we wanted more sections we would be on the hobart or any of the many other boards. i am here still because i have always liked it this way over the other sites. cant stand the thought of it getting turned into just another copy of the others.
hears an idea! be a pioneer, be the first to listen to the members and just don't mess with it.
they added all the cool links to the top and all , thats great. but breaking up into multiple category's is just &*$%&^#. and pointless.its not broken, why try to fix it.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. email@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.

The big problem, MMS really has little or nothing to do with motorsports, and in fact most of the real industrial stuff is over there. Plus there's two boards to administer ... and nobody ever said this or any other board was a democracy, every single message board on the web is owned by somebody, like it or not, and we all have the choice whether or not to participate. It seems they are going to keep the different categories down to a minimum, a few very broad classifications, which is good, and now everybody gets the benefit of seeing what's posted by members from each board, even if you weren't in the habit of visiting the other one.
Hold on, guys!
We at Miller have heard and have considered your feedback very seriously. We are planning on merging the boards, it is true, except that "projects" and "motorsports" will remain two separate categories. So, in essence, it WILL remain much the same as it is today, although if you want to post on one board or another you will be able to do so without having two logins, two accounts, etc. Having the two boards completely separate, as it is now, creates confusion and lots of double work (and needless double-costs!) so we planned pretty much from the beginning to at least merge the boards in some way. If you'd like to just bookmark yourself right into the projects category, you can do that and you won't even notice a difference, beyond creating a new bookmark. We're not making large-scale changes...I think you'll appreciate the positives that will come from merging the boards, once you see how similar it will be, just more simple/easy.
What was up more for debate was creating categories or adding other functions as we were performing this merge. All of this "keep it the same" talk has spoken loud and clear from both boards, but especially projects. We were hoping to create approximately 6 categories to help organize and help you to more easily find information. From what we've read in responses, it seems that most members want to see it all rather than switch categories to view the info. Because of your comments, we have definately pared down our plans and may only add one or maybe two additional categories, if any at all. We are actually meeting on the boards today to make some final decisions regarding the merge. We'll be in contact once we've worked everything out.
Just wanted to reiterate, we've heard you and have modified our plans based on your comments. We appreciate members being so forthcoming with their opinions, and we listen because we want to keep the door open and we value your input. Our goal is to keep the boards as useful and informational as possible. I think you'll see that the few minor changes we're making will really improve the board overall in the end, not take away from it.

MATLAB is a technical computing environment for high-performance numeric computation and visualization. MATLAB integrates numerical analysis, matrix computation, signal processing, and graphics in an easy-to-use envionment where problems and solutions are expressed just as they are written mathematically--without traditional programming.
Different versions of MATLAB are available on the various OSC clusters.
* - Default version
Ohio State University students/faculty
MATLAB is available on the Glenn Cluster and the Oakley Cluster. All Ohio State users must be added to the license server before using MATLAB. Please contact OSC Help to be granted access.
Non Ohio State University students/faculty
OSC cannot provide MATLAB licenses for academic use to students and faculty outside of Ohio State at this time. However, if you have your own MATLAB license, including the Parallel Computing Toolbox, you will be able to connect to the MATLAB Distributed Computing Server on Oakley via your MATLAB interface. See HOW-TO: Configure the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox.
Use of MATLAB requires validation. See the Software Form page for the software agreement form for MATLAB for non-OSC users.
To load the default version of MATLAB into your environment, you can use the following command.
module load matlab
To load a specific version of MATLAB on your current system, you can use variations of the previous command. The command format expected by each system differs slightly, thus the invocation of a particular version of MATLAB depends on the system you wish to run on.
For example, if you'd like to load MATLAB 2012a on Glenn, type:
module load matlabR2012a
If you'd like to load MATLAB 2012a on Oakley, type:
module load matlab/R2012a
For a list of available MATLAB versions and the format expected on Glenn, type:
module avail matlab
For a list of all available MATLAB versions and the format expected on Oakley, type:
module spider matlab
Running MATLAB
The following command will start an interactive, command line version of MATLAB on either cluster system:
matlab -nodisplay
If you are able to use X-11 forwarding and have enabled it in your SSH client software preferences, you can run MATLAB using the GUI by typing the command "
For more information about the matlab command usage, type "
matlab –h" for a complete list of command line options.
The commands listed above will run MATLAB on the login node you are connected to. As the login node is a shared resource, running scripts that require significant computational resources will impact the usability of the cluster for others. As such, you should not use interactive MATLAB sessions on the login node for any significant computation. If your MATLAB script requires significant time, CPU power, or memory, you should run your code via the batch system.
Running in Batch
MATLAB should be run via the batch system for any scripts that are computationally intensive, long running, or memory intensive.
Interactive Batch Jobs
To run an interactive batch job using the command line version of MATLAB, you can use the following command:
qsub –I –X –l nodes=n:ppn=p –l walltime=hh:mm:ss
After submitting your job, you will be logged on to one of the compute nodes. Here you can run MATLAB interactively by loading the MATLAB module and running MATLAB with the options of your choice as described above. The
–X flag enables X-11 forwarding on the compute node, so you can use the MATLAB GUI if you choose.
Non-interactive Batch Jobs
In order to run MATLAB non-interactively via the batch system, you will require a batch submission script and a MATLAB M-file containing the script that will be run via the batch system. You can create both of these files using any text editor you like in a working directory on the system of your choice.
Below is an example batch submission script and a simple M-file. The batch script runs the M-file via the batch system.
Example batch submission script,
#PBS -N matlab_example #PBS -l walltime=00:10:00 #PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=8 #PBS -j oe
module load matlab matlab -nodisplay -r hello # end of example file
Example M-file, hello.m:
%Example M-file for Hello World
disp 'Hello World' exit % end of example file
In order to run hello.m via the batch system, submit the
script.job file with the following command:
qsub script.job
This will run
hello.m via the batch system, and all output from the running of the script will be saved in the
output.txt file.
For more information about using the batch system, see Batch Processing at OSC.
To view a complete list of the currently available toolboxes, in the MATLAB command line type the command "
Parallel Processing in MATLAB
MATLAB supports both implicit multiprocessing (multithreading) and explicit multiprocessing across multiple nodes.
Multithreading allows some functions in MATLAB to distribute the work load between cores of the node that your job is running on. By default, all of the current versions of MATLAB available on the OSC clusters have multithreading enabled.
The use of multithreading differs slightly depending on which cluster you'd like to run your jobs on. On Oakley, the system will use a number of threads equal to the number of cores you request. Therefore, if you request nodes=1:ppn=4, your job will only spawn four threads. However, on the Glenn cluster the system will use a number of threads equal to the number of cores on one node. You must, therefore, request nodes=1:ppn=8 otherwise your jobs may be killed.
Multithreading increases the speed of some linear algebra routines, but if you would like to disable multithreading you may request nodes=1:ppn=1 and include the option "
-singleCompThread" when running MATLAB.
An example:
#PBS -N disable_multithreading
#PBS -l walltime=00:10:00
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1
#PBS -j oe
module load matlab
matlab -singleCompThread -nodisplay -r hello
# end of example file
Parallel computing across multiple nodes
You can accomplish parallel processing using multiple nodes by using the Parallel Computing Toolbox in conjunction with the MATLAB Distributed Computing Server. For more information about configuration and usage, see HOW-TO: Configure the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox.
