Overall consumer spending is holding steady, even as we've picked up major improvements in holiday spending for the 2009 season.
In short, overall consumer spending is virtually the same as in our previous ChangeWave survey. But holiday spending is extraordinarily better than a year ago (November 2008), when just 10% of respondents said they'd be spending more and 59% less.
Importantly, the survey of 2,954 U.S. consumers, completed November 10th, shows holiday spending is going to be far better than the depressed levels of a year ago — though nowhere near as strong as in the three years prior to the recession, as the following chart points out:
A total of 9% say they'll be Spending More Money on holiday shopping this season while 32% say they'll Spend Less — but that's a huge 21-pt improvement over November 2008 (when only 4% said they'd Spend More vs. 48% Less).
Our survey shows a big uptick for a handful of major retailers — led by blowout numbers for Amazon (AMZN).
Holiday Spending Among Online Retailers – It's an Amazon Holiday Season
In terms of online shopping, we're clearly witnessing a historic blowout for Amazon this holiday season. Not only is Amazon showing the most momentum among all online retailers, but its huge 8-pt jump since August represents the largest improvement ever recorded in online spending in a ChangeWave survey.
Amazon Also Leads Holiday Spending Among Home Entertainment Retailers
Amazon is also the overall momentum leader in terms of home entertainment shopping.
Nearly one-in-three respondents (31%) now say they'll shop there for home entertainment and computer networking products over the next 90 days — a 3-pt jump since October to the highest level for Amazon in more than 3 years.
The major discounters and wholesale clubs — including Costco (COST; 26%; up 2-pts), Wal-Mart (WMT; 19%; up 2-pts), Sam's Club (11%; up 2-pts) and Target (TGT; 7%; up 1-pt) — are also showing upticks in home entertainment shopping for the holidays.
While industry leader Best Buy (BBY; 42%) is unchanged in market share since our previous survey, it does stand to benefit from the big increase in overall gift shopping this holiday season compared to last.
Biggest Retail Store Winners – Discounters and Wholesale Clubs
Turning to overall holiday shopping trends, our latest results again show the discount retailers and wholesale clubs are the huge winners this November, led by Costco (+4) which looks best positioned to outperform going forward.
Target (+3), Wal-Mart (+3), and its Sam's Club (+2) subsidiary have also experienced a sharp pickup in momentum.
Note that Bed, Bath and Beyond (BBBY; +2) also picked up 2 point since the previous survey.
A rising tide is lifting all boats, and we're also seeing a slight uptick among some of the major department stores, including Macy's (M; +1), Bloomingdale's (+1), JC Penney (JCP; +1) and Sears (SHLD; +1).
As normally seen during the holidays, Consumer Electronics spending now shows the greatest momentum going forward — with 26% saying they'll spend more on consumer electronics over the next 90 days and 32% less.
This represents a net 10-pt jump from a month ago and a huge 18-pt improvement over the holiday season of a year ago.
In terms of individual items, the Apple iPod (8%; up 3-pts) and the Amazon Kindle eReader (4%; up 1-pt) both show significant momentum compared to the previous survey and to a year ago. Digital Cameras (14%; up 4-pts) are also up since the previous survey, but are down slightly compared to last holiday season.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Freshman Justin Wallace (Palatine, Ill.) ran for a career-high 190 yards and three scores to lead MIT to a 23-0 win over Nichols College in a New England Football Conference game at Steinbrenner Stadium. Not the rain or the snow that was falling at various times during the game was going to keep the Engineers from their task for the night as they picked up their first win since the beginning of the season.
Poor weather conditions played a part in the first score of the night when freshman Anthony Souffrant (North Grafton, Mass.) blocked Tyler Nordbeck's first punt attempt of the night, with the Engineers recovering the ball a the Nichols 18-yard line. MIT could not pick up a first down, but senior Peter Gilliland (Grand Ledge, Mich.) booted a 26-yard field goal with 10:17 showing on the clock to put the Engineers up early.
MIT stopped Nichols (0-9, 0-6 NEFC) on its next drive and came up big again on special teams. This time it was freshman Erik Johnson (Grand Haven, Mich.) that got a hand on the Bisons punt, with his deflection resulting in just a 16-yard punt to the MIT 44. From there the Engineers picked up a 21-yard pass from sophomore John Wenzel (Mandeville, La.) to freshman Brad Goldsberry (Elizabeth, Colo.) and a 16-yard run from Wallace that push the ball deep into Nichols territory. With 6:29 left Wallace broke around the left side and found the end zone from 20 yards out to make it 10-0.
MIT's defense did the rest. The Engineers held Nichols to just 90 total yards and seven first downs in the game as they recorded their first shutout since blanking UMass-Dartmouth 26-0 in 2009. The Bison also had trouble hanging on to the slick ball in the wet conditions, fumbling eight times, losing three to the Engineers who also picked off four Nichols passes.
Nichols could only manage to cross the 50-yard line into the MIT end of the field three times during the game. The closest the Bison came to the getting into the red-zone was late in the first quarter when Alex DiNardo sacked Wenzel and forced a fumble that the Bison recovered on the MIT 41. Nichols got as far as the MIT 30, but sophomore Rhys Borchert (Pocatello, Idaho) intercepted Dan Snyder's pass attempt and returned it 27 yards to end the threat.
As the snow picked up in the second half MIT stayed with its ground attack, which paid off with a four-yard Wallace TD run in the final minute of the third and a nine-yard scamper with 1:30 left that put the final touches on the victory.
Wallace picked up his 190 yards on 41 carries, tying the Institute record for carries in a game set by DeRon Brown against Salve Regina in 2009. Wenzel completed 6-of-21 attempts in the tough conditions for 84 yards. The stingy MIT defense was led by sophomore Jake Laux (Dousman, Wis.) with 11 tackles and a fumble recovery.
Irie Perry was the workhorse for Nichols, gaining 46 yards on 21 carries. The Bison played both Snyder and Jacob Shoup at quarterback, with the pair combining to complete just five of 20 attempts, with four of the attempts intercepted, for 30 yards.
MIT will play its final game of the season next Saturday, November 5 when it hosts Endicott College at 1:00 p.m. on Senior Day. Nichols will also close out its season next week as it hosts Salve Regina at Noon.

Kevin Dineen added to Blackhawks' staff
Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville has added former Florida Panthers bench boss Kevin Dineen to his staff.
The 50-year-old Dineen coached the Panthers for two-plus seasons before being fired last November after the club's 3-9-4 start. Florida captured the 2011-12 Southeast Division title in Dineen's first season as an NHL head coach and went 56-62-28 during his tenure.
"Kevin brings proven leadership qualities, having served as an alternate captain and captain for several of his teams during his 19-year NHL career," Blackhawks vice president and general manager Stan Bowman said. "He will bring another well respected voice to our coaching staff and we look forward to his contributions to our team."
Following his dismissal from the Panthers, Dineen coached the Canadian women's national team to a gold medal at the Sochi Olympics in February.
Dineen and Quenneville were teammates on the Hartford Whalers from 1984-1990.

BOSTON — While the Jon Lester watch was front and center a day before baseball's non-waiver trade deadline, his every move tracked before Wednesday night's game against the Blue Jays in anticipation of a possible blockbuster trade, the Red Sox actually did pull off a deal.
Left-handed pitcher Felix Doubront, once a mainstay in the starting rotation but banished to the back of the bullpen because of ineffectiveness, was traded to the Cubs for a player to be named later.
"He has performed well for us over a period of time," manager John Farrell said. "It can't be understated the importance of his relief appearances in the World Series last year. Those were two pivotal outings by him and he did a great job."
Doubront was 11-10 with a 4.86 earned run average in 29 starts in 2012, and improved to 11-6 with a 4.32 ERA last year, which included a stretch of 15 straight starts when he allowed three earned runs or fewer.
He was relegated to the bullpen in the postseason, but as Farrell noted he thrived. He was 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in four appearances.
But he was awful this season, going 2-4 with a 6.07 ERA in 17 games, including 10 starts. His final appearance was a disaster, when he gave up six runs in two-thirds of an inning in Monday night's 14-1 loss to Toronto and left to a chorus of boos.
It was apparently the last straw for a pitcher who had previously complained about not starting despite his poor performance.
"I don't know that two nights ago triggered a trade," said Farrell. "I don't think any trade happens overnight, so I wouldn't say it's a direct result of that."
Doubront now gets a fresh start with a new team in a new league, and is reunited with former Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein, who was in charge in Boston when Doubront was signed as an amateur free agent in 2005.
Days of Distraction
Lester wasn't the only one waiting to learn his fate on Wednesday.
Rumors also swirled around John Lackey and Andrew Miller, among others, and Mike Carp recently requested a trade.
"It's a sign that you're playing well and teams think you can help them out," said Miller, "but in general I'm just focused on what I can control today."
Despite every attempt to pay attention simply on the task at hand, however, Miller admitted the trade rumors are a distraction.
"It's impossible to completely avoid (the speculation)," he said. "Between my family, my agent, and the rest of the guys in the clubhouse, I'm aware. At the same time, I'm just doing everything I can to block it out and ignore it."
With lefty Mark Buehrle starting for the Blue Jays Wednesday night, David Ortiz got the night off.
According to Farrell, with the Red Sox not playing on Thursday before starting a three-game series with the Yankees, the day off Wednesday allows Ortiz, who had played in all 12 games since the All-Star break, a chance to get two days off in a row.
Ortiz had homered in five of nine games, ranks fourth in the American League with 25 home runs, and third with 77 runs batted in. His 25 RBIs in July leads all of baseball. ...
Lackey, Allen Webster, and Lester will start the three games against the Yankees, if all are still with the Red Sox. Clay Buchholz would start Sunday night if Lester is indeed traded. New York will counter with Chris Capuano, Shane Greene, and David Phelps.

Sadly, I did not grow up in the NES generation (although I may have played my sister's NES as a child--my family never got a SNES, though, we skipped that and went straight to the N64 :-[). I wish I had, especially due to how much novelty (such a R.O.B.) and obsession there was with video games. I would love to have been an eighties kid, swept up in the revolution that is an obsession with an eight-bit console. Then again, I say the same thing about the sixties sometimes...
I love R.O.B. Never had one or seen one in person (or plastic), but ever since I'd heard about it I've always wanted one. Nevermind the fact that they're extremely rare, obselete, have only two games they can be used on, and sell for about $100+ these days, I still want one!!
And Mental Pooperscooper, I totally agree with you on that...except animal rights groups would probably lobby against it due to "animal cruelty" (they already managed to massacre the U.S. version of Ice Climbers due to it's apparent "promotion of seal clubbing"). One could make the arguement, however, that the dog is guilty of child abuse and causing emotional distress to thousands (maybe even millions) of Nintendo-obsessed, duck-shooting children ^_^

|strangely this article gave me the idea to talk nintendo into putting that damned dog into the next Smash Bros., one of his "smash" move could be him laughing and causing the other player to either be immobilized with rage or to shoot him if they have a lightgun, and his "super smash" could be causing everone near him to become so comepletely annoyed they pull out a lightgun and shoot themselves (or just call some ducks or something), in the least every old fan of that game would get some officially-licensed sweet revenge

|Gyromite is one of the few games I wish I had got to play when I was younger.
|Jan 7th, 2009 03:38 AM
OMG Gyromite! You're right, this was the version of the Nintendo I got as a child. Of course, being an uncordinated 11 year old, I couldn't get R.O.B. to do what I wanted half the time, so I found the ambedexterity to operate both controlers at once (not using the feet, but both hands.) Of course, it was easier in Mode B, since you didn't have to worry about moving the professor, too, but I was still able to beat both. I can, however, recall how annoying it was when the damn professor got stuck and had to be "mercy-squished" or the board reset. My favorite tricks were bonking him on the head with the pillars (but not squishing him) and watching him bounce back up and trapping the Snicks rather than squishing them. That took some doing sometimes.

I liked to take things apart so my ROB soon became mounted to a radio-controlled car. He hasn't been seen since.
I LOVED gyromite though and it was also my introduction to the nes and held me over for the LOONG period between when the nes was released and when SMB actually was released in the US.
I disagree though... if you want people to hate gyromite then by all means give them rob to play with... otherwise, playing it with a friend or on an emulator with all four buttons mapped to a single gamepad is the way to go.

Other than that, the R.O.B. character has made a few appearances, most notably in the Mario Kart DS game as a badass unlockable character which I proudly showed off here when I beat the game:

|My 7ish year old ass had to save up on my own for a Nintendo. You know how long it takes a 7 year old whose parents can't afford an allowance to save up $100? Yeah, by the time I'd gotten the green, R.O.B. was long out of production.

|I think you mean painFUL. I was gypped as a child. My parents bought this a Deluxe set for my brother and I. However, they bought it used, and it come with NO robot. Though I guess the selling party probably just threw the console and Super Mario Bros. in a Deluxe box and charged a bit more for an inferior package. I stopped blaming the 'rents decades ago.
|Jan 6th, 2009 12:49 PM
|R.O.B. ended up being a victim to the great Firework Disaster of 92'. HE melted very fast and I believe it was painless.

|Hey, I have also used my feet to command a second controller, only that it was on Mega Man 3 (my favorite in the series, it simply has the best music) in order to keep the super jump trick while pushing the directional pad with my toe. Needless to say that the result was a toe with a directional pad arrow printed on it.

|You know, I never knew this game came with R.O.B. I usually just played it using my feet to control the second controller. None the less I ended up beating the game, but nobody ever believed me.
|Jan 6th, 2009 05:50 AM
|They used it as a brawl charectar.

At southern Afghan outpost, U.S. soldiers prepare for transition
MIZAN, Afghanistan — Last year, Taliban threats and buried roadside bombs kept farmers from selling their fruit at marketplaces outside this small community in southern Afghanistan. Similar intimidation stopped residents from sending their children to school or attending their bazaar.
Change has come slowly, but the road is now open and ready for harvest traffic this fall. So is the Mizan bazaar. Children, including girls, are learning to read at a mosque while the district governor negotiates a deal to open five schools.
"Mizan is open for business," said Command Sgt. Maj. James Coroy, the top enlisted officer in the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, of Fort Wainwright, Alaska, which ended its deployment here last week and made way for cavalry troops from the 1st Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, south of Tacoma, Wash.
As they prepare to turn over this district in Zabul province to Afghan forces later this year, the American soldiers could point to signs of hope as well as to ongoing challenges as the U.S.-led NATO coalition pushes ahead with the security transition in the country. The soldiers are aware of calls to hasten the American withdrawal, and many expect the transition to take place well before President Barack Obama's announced drawdown target of 2014.
Their challenges include bomb-making Taliban cells in nearby villages and ancestral ties that keep some families looking to neighboring Pakistan to settle their disputes instead of to their own government.
Their assets are a well-regarded governor and Afghan forces who are planning their own missions to disrupt the Taliban. Afghan troops man five checkpoints along the road from Mizan to Qalat, the provincial capital; they're keeping the two-lane highway open for commerce.
The Afghan army "will stay and fight," said Maj. Dave Polizzotti, 36, the cavalry squadron's executive officer. "These guys have a sense of duty, a sense of purpose."
Last week, the small combat outpost was packed as the Alaska soldiers ended their deployments and the Lewis-McChord troops — Stryker soldiers from the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division _laid the groundwork for a new high-level Army advisory team that's moving in to coach the Afghan police, the last phase of NATO's transition to Afghan control.
Insurgents attacked the outpost — which looks over a farming community next to the Arghandab River — a handful of times last summer. In July, a drone aircraft captured images of 16 armed insurgents moving in a valley on the other side of a nearby mountain. American aircraft destroyed them before they could enter the Mizan valley.
One of the most trying times for the Alaska soldiers came in January, when a man who was wearing an Afghan uniform shot and killed Pfc. Dustin Napier of London, Ky., on another American base in Zabul province. Napier belonged to the same company as the soldiers here, and many knew him.
The shooting, as with dozens of other "green-on-blue" killings over the past few years, seemed to strike at the heart of the NATO-Afghan cooperation that's essential to ending the war on a positive note. But the American officer who commanded the outpost for the past year said the shooting didn't weaken the bonds that had been forged with the Afghan army company attached to the outpost.
"We'd been together for six months by then," said Capt. Greg Benjamin, 26, of Boise, Idaho. "We'd been in firefights together. We fought the Taliban together. l trusted them."
Likewise, he strove to retain the Afghans' trust in their U.S. counterparts. Benjamin defused some unrest about the burnings of Qurans by U.S. personnel Feb. 20 at Bagram Air Field in northern Afghanistan, explaining to Mizan elders that the soldiers weren't a part of his platoon and their actions didn't represent the intentions of the U.S. Army.
News of the killings of 17 Afghan civilians March 11 allegedly at the hands of Lewis-McChord Staff Sgt. Robert Bales in Kandahar province hasn't caused a ripple of protest here, Benjamin said.
While the Alaska team was proud to help open the roads and the bazaar, it's still waiting to see Afghans make full use of those projects. About five shops are open in the bazaar, up from none when the team arrived. But that's well below the estimated 50 shops that were in business five years ago before security deteriorated, a Mizan elder said.
Battalion commander Lt. Col. Jeff Stewart said they'd listened to what Mizan Gov. Mohammed Zarif wanted to accomplish and aimed to build Zarif's credibility by acting on his plans and steering requests for assistance through him.
"Everything we did was something the district governor said was important and the elders would protect," Stewart said.
They passed out small radios and changed the programming from NATO messages to ones Zarif wanted, making the communication tools instantly more popular.
Stewart said the battalion had spent less than $100,000 on community assistance projects, mostly small efforts to spur commerce in the bazaar or to help the Afghans build irrigation networks.
The only failures they saw were NATO efforts that foisted American concepts on Afghan people, such as a large, concrete dam that collapsed and an agricultural cooperative that didn't fit in with the Afghan style of farming.
In a meeting with Mizan elders last week, Stewart pointedly sidestepped Zarif's requests for a new cellphone tower and for 60 men to gather intelligence against the Taliban. Neither request could be achieved without NATO's pocketbooks, and Zarif's inability to execute similar proposals in the future could discredit him among the district's elders.
"We're looking for projects that are sustainable," Benjamin said.
Two weeks ago, Afghan soldiers planned and executed a 10-day sweep of neighboring villages with minimal American assistance. A homemade bomb during the mission wounded Mizan's district chief of police. Other bombs hit several Afghan soldiers.
Attempting to deny the Taliban a propaganda victory, Zarif took to his radio broadcast to tell Mizan that the police chief survived and would return to duty. Benjamin asked the police chief to record a message from his stretcher telling residents that the Taliban couldn't kill him.
"Hopefully things are all right, but we need time," Zarif said.
Elders considered the Afghan army mission a success; there were no complaints about soldiers misbehaving during home searches, Zarif said.
The Americans were pleased that the only resources they'd needed to provide were food and air support.
"The cake is almost done baking here, " said Lt. Jason Oberoi, the new platoon leader from the Lewis-McChord squadron, who lives in Lacey, Wash. "They are close to being independent."
Zarif is turning his attention to building schools now that NATO and the Afghan army have followed through on his requests for more security checkpoints. He's pursuing schools in spite of Taliban threats against him, but of course he doesn't get the only vote in determining whether they succeed. Taliban intimidation could keep children from attending.
"The physical changes are easy," Coroy said. "It's the psychological ones that take work."
Mizan elder Mohammed Nayim exemplified that contradiction at a meeting in front of his home this week with Oberoi and Benjamin. Nayim told the officers that security was the best it had been in years. Even so, he wouldn't promise to send his children to school, no matter how much he wants them to have an education.
He also said Taliban threats had compelled two shop owners in his small village to close, because they'd been selling goods to Afghan soldiers and police. Benjamin and Oberoi implored Nayim to move his shop to Mizan's main bazaar, the one they'd helped reopen.
"You will be rich," Benjamin said.
"I am waiting for the people," Nayim said.

Newspapers and Magazines on Your Kindle Paperwhite
Books on your Kindle Paperwhite are organized into chapters, which are read in a linear fashion. Periodicals such as newspapers and magazines, on the other hand, usually contain a number of articles grouped by section. Readers often choose to skip around among sections and articles. Fortunately, the Kindle Paperwhite has several special features to enhance the experience of reading periodicals.
Basic navigation
From the Home screen, tap the title of the periodical you want to read. By default, it opens in a view that displays different sections, with the number of articles in each section.
Tap the top of the screen to display the toolbar. The Store icon you see while reading a book has been replaced by two icons that enable you to switch between the default Cover view and the Section view. You can think of these views as similar to Cover view and List view on the Home screen.
The left side of the screen lists the various sections and the right side lists the articles in the specific section. The bottom left shows the total number of sections and the bottom right displays the total number of articles.
You can navigate through the pages of sections and articles by using the arrows at the bottom of the screen or by simply swiping the screen.
You can move forward in a periodical in a linear fashion by tapping the title of the next article at the bottom of the screen. The percentage that appears to the left of this navigation bar shows how far in the article you've read.
Menu options for periodicals
When you tap the Menu icon while reading in a periodical, you see fewer options than those for a book:
Shop Kindle Store: Go to the Kindle Store to browse and find periodicals.
Vocabulary Builder: Open the list of words you have looked up in the dictionary. (At the time of this writing, this option is only available on the second-generation Kindle Paperwhite.)
Keep This Issue: Store the periodical on your device until you choose to remove it. (When a periodical has already been stored, the option changes to Do Not Keep This Issue.)
Sync to Furthest Page Read: If you (or others on your Amazon account) have viewed the periodical on another device, you can adjust your location to the furthest page read.
View Notes & Marks: Display the highlighted sections, notes, and bookmarks for the current periodical.
Share: Share articles of interest on Facebook and Twitter.
Settings: Toggle Airplane mode on and off and access options for Wi-Fi networks, registration, reading, parental controls, time, language, and more.
In addition, the secondary toolbar sports a Clip This Article option. Tap that option to save an article to your my Clippings file. My Clippings is listed on your Home screen, just like a book or other content. If it isn't at the top of the list, swipe through the pages — it is probably at the end.

This season, it's about being together, sharing with one another and reflecting on the year that is coming to a close. Here at Labor Wines 2013 was quite the year, but I promise you we're definitely looking forward to 2014!
I had the pleasure of being included in a fantastic piece last week in the American Express OPEN forum by Jason Brick talking about 'The One Thing You Need To Succeed In Business' – which begs the question, is Passion the secret to success. You can see the piece here. I am ABSOLUTELY FLOORED that I was selected to be in the company of the three other gentlemen that were written about in the article. They are:
Chris Gardner 'The Millionaire Stockbroker'
Brian Tracy 'Motivational Speaker'
Please take a moment and read the piece; and if you are moved/curious/interested, please look into these amazing men. Also, I'd love to hear your opinions and thoughts about your secrets to success and what has worked for each of you. Reach out when you have time, it'd be great to chat more about this topic.
May the rest of your holiday season be warm and bright, may your homes be filled with joy and happiness and remember to tell those important to you, you love them. We here at Labor Wines just wanted to thank you for your support and friendship,
Stay thirsty friends!

Declaration of Religious Principle
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Revision as of 00:17, March 2, 2009 by Milominderbinder2 (Talk | contribs)
The Boy Scouts of America's Declaration of Religious Principle, taken from the Adult Registration Application (No. 28-501):
"The Boy Scouts of America maintains that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing an obligation to God and, therefore, recognizes the religious element in the training of the member, but it is absolutely nonsectarian in its attitude toward that religious training. Its policy is that the home and organization or group with which the member is connected shall give definite attention to religious life.
Only persons willing to subscribe to these precepts from the Declaration of Religious Principle and to the Bylaws of the Boy Scouts of America shall be entitled to certificates of leadership."

You can configure the server to handle requests using multiple processes with multiple threads in each process. This flexibility provides optimal performance for sites using threads, and also provides backward compatibility to sites running legacy applications that are not ready to run in a threaded environment. Because applications on Windows generally already take advantage of multi-thread considerations, this feature applies to UNIX and Linux platforms.
The advantage of multiple processes is that legacy applications that are not thread-aware or thread-safe can be run more effectively in Web Server. However, because all of the Web Server extensions are built to support a single-process threaded environment, they might not run in the multi-process mode. The Search plug-ins fail on startup if the server is in multi-process mode, and if session replication is enabled, the server will fail to start in multi-process mode.
In the multi-process mode, the server spawns multiple server processes at startup. Depending on the configuration, each process contains one or more threads, that receive incoming requests. Since each process is completely independent, each one has its own copies of global variables, caches, and other resources. Using multiple processes requires more resources from your system. Also, if you try to install an application that requires shared state, it has to synchronize that state across multiple processes. NSAPI provides no helper functions for implementing cross-process synchronization.
When you specify a MaxProcs value greater than 1, the server relies on the operating system to distribute connections among multiple server processes (see MaxProcs (UNIX/Linux) for information about the MaxProcs directive). However, many modern operating systems do not distribute connections evenly, particularly when there are a small number of concurrent connections.
Because Web Server cannot guarantee that load is distributed evenly among server processes, you might encounter performance problems if you set Maximum Threads to 1 and MaxProcs greater than 1 to accommodate a legacy application that is not thread-safe. The problem is especially pronounced if the legacy application takes a long time to respond to requests, for example, when the legacy application contacts a back-end database. In this scenario, it might be preferable to use the default value for Maximum Threads and serialize access to the legacy application using thread pools. For more information about creating a thread pool, see thread-pool-init in Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Administrator's Configuration File Reference.
If you are not running any NSAPI in your server, you should use the default settings: one process and many threads. If you are running an application that is not scalable in a threaded environment, you should use a few processes and many threads, for example, 4 or 8 processes and 128 or 512 threads per process.
To run a UNIX or Linux server in multi-process mode, set the MaxProcs directive to a value that is greater than 1. Multi-process mode might provide higher scalability on multi-processor machines and improve the overall server throughput on large systems such as the Sun Fire T2000 server. If you set the value to less than 1, it is ignored and the default value of 1 is used.
Use the MaxProcs directive to improve overall server throughput for the following types of applications:
NSAPI applications that do not implement fine-grained locking
Java applications that do not require session management
Do not use the MaxProcs directive when Web Server performs session management for Java applications.
You can set the value for MaxProcs by editing the MaxProcs parameter in magnus.conf.
You will receive duplicate startup messages when running your server in MaxProcs mode.

Millennials in the U.S. who become parents have a more pragmatic, conservative outlook, according to a new study.
But millennials don't think of "conservative" in a red versus blue sense. Rather, it betokens an attitude that influences their spending habits, their commitment to the Internet and certain social beliefs widely seen as quintessentially millennial.
FutureCast and Consumer Orbit partnered to conduct the study in July, surveying proprietary data sets of 19.3 million households with adults age 25 to 34, comparing those with and without offspring.
The researchers noted that 22.9 million out of 40 million millennials in the U.S. have children, and 10,000 millennial women are giving birth each day.
"Interest in millennials has reached a fever pitch — and rightfully so, this generation influences the purchases and beliefs of nearly every American," FutureCast president Jeff Fromm said in a statement.
The researchers did not study whether becoming parents changed the millennials' attitudes or if there was something fundamentally different about the people who had children. But the data showed "two very disparate groups," Fromm said.
Consider millennials' political, social and civic commitment.
Of the non-parents in the survey, 12.5% of belonged to a civic organization, compared with only 0.3% of parents. Likewise, 10% of millennials belonged to an environmental organization, but just 0.2% with children did so.
In fact, the study found that with regard to environmental issues, millennials' commitment to recycling — a basic conservation ideal — was lower in parents. Childless millennials were more likely than the total U.S. population to believe and be proactive in nearly every category of recycling.
Of the parents, 32.9% identified themselves as "conservative evangelical Christians," compared with 9.6% of non-parents.
However, more millennial parents, 30%, self-identified with the Democratic Party than any other.
"Millennials do not think of the word 'conservative' in political terms, but instead, a definition of how they feel about their household and young family," Fromm said.
"In fact, when it comes to political outlook, millennials define themselves as 'middle of the road' more than any other answer."
Spending and Privacy Concerns
The data showed that overall, millennial parents' income had remained largely flat over the past year.
Of households with annual income between $50,000 and $100,000, 7.6% reported a drop in income over the last year, while those earning more than $100,000 stayed flat.
However, respondents remained optimistic about the future. Millennial parents were likelier than the general population to say they would be "somewhat" or "significantly" more well-off 12 months from now.
Overall, millennial parents were more inclined toward shopping and spending. Forty-five percent of respondents without children said they rarely went shopping, compared with 29.5% of parents.
Parents were also more concerned about Internet privacy.
Twenty-nine percent of millennial parents said they used the Internet less because of privacy concerns, compared with 9.8% of non-parents.
At the same time, the data showed that millennial parents were willing to forgo certain privacy concerns if they were offered a deal or insider info.
Thirty-two percent of millennial parents wanted to hear about new products or services via email, versus 17.3% for millennials without children.
Likewise, just 2.5% of non-parents were "interested in receiving ads on their cell phones." This jumped to 12.3% among parents.

Peek right into Danbury's unique past
Every time Brigid Guertin enters her workplace, she steps back in time.
She doesn't actually leave 2014, like time travelers in the movies, but she is immersed in the past. It's part of her job as executive director of the Danbury Museum and Historical Society Authority.
The position is one that meshes well with her interest in history, her organizational skills, and personality. Though she's certainly a fan of the museum, she doesn't overwhelm visitors with her enthusiasm; rather, she invites them to share her joy in it.
A graduate of Immaculate High School and Marymount College, Guertin, 39, is married and has three sons. Originally, she wanted to be an anthropologist. However, while studying for a master's at George Washington University, she took a course in museum studies and never looked back.
Hired as a museum intern in 1999, Guertin was quickly promoted by the board of trustees to serve as a curator and then, in 2002, as executive director.
She was interviewed at her office in Huntington Hall, the museum's headquarters at 43 Main St. in Danbury.
Q: Your master's degree is in museum studies. What does that include?
A: It includes, but is not limited to, conservation management, material exhibiting, budgeting and fundraising.
Q: What are your duties?
A: I'm in charge of maintaining the collections --all six historic buildings and all the items within them and all the archival items with them; managing staff and volunteers; fundraising, program development and educational programming.
Q: A large part of your job is programming. What's current and what is upcoming in the programming department?
A: We change our exhibits in Huntington Hall twice a year. Currently, our main show is "Quintessential Quilts: Piecing Together Danbury History." Many of our programs feature speakers and films that relate to the exhibit on hand. In the coming winter, the exhibit will feature collections from community members.
In the spring, "1950s Main Street Danbury" will be our ongoing exhibit. We will be using all the different parts of our collection -- clothing, photographs and more. It will be very special.
Q: What's the biggest job-related challenge you face?
A: Never having enough income to do all that I want. I have big dreams. For example, the rehabilitation of the Charles Ives House. Happily, with city and state funding, we expect to start the rehabilitation of its exterior this September.
Q: What are some of the ways the museum raises money?
A: Funding from the city of Danbury, special annual events, like this spring's third annual garden party, bequests and donations.
We've also recently partnered with Amazon Smile. Now, when making a purchase on Amazon, you can select Friends of the Danbury Museum as your charity and a portion of your purchase price will be donated to the Friends of the Danbury Museum. It doesn't cost you anything.
Q: What do you like about what you do?
A: Everything. The museum is a collection of materials that preserve the past and unique history of Danbury. I enjoy greeting visitors, guiding students, helping people in general connect with the past. I believe that if you don't understand the past, you cannot plan for the future.
Q: Do you have a favorite building or item?
A: That depends on which stage of my career you're asking about.
Currently, my favorite building is the Charles Ives House because of the rehabilitation it will soon be undergoing.
Right now, my favorite item is the eagle medallion quilt that's in the quilt exhibit that ends the first Saturday in November.
Q: What makes this museum/collection a special place in Danbury to visit?
A: It's a wonderfully evocative museum that reminds all of us why Danbury is such a special, fascinating place because, among other things, of its role in the American and Industrial revolutions. It gives Danburians and people in this area a sense of identity. Here we celebrate the past and plan for the future and, right now, the future looks bright.
About the museum
The Danbury Museum and Historical Society was founded in 1947 with the merger of the Scott-Fanton Museum and the Danbury Historical and Arts Center. In 2008, it became the Danbury Museum and Historical Society Authority.
It consists of seven buildings: Huntington Hall, its main campus at 43 Main St. in Danbury; the 1790 John Dodd Hat Shop; the Little Red Schoolhouse; the Marian Anderson Studio (a contralto, she was the first African-American to sing at the Metropolitan Opera); the birthplace of Charles Ives, a Pulitzer-winning composer; and the John and Mary Rider House, which focuses on Danbury's colonial beginnings and Revolutionary War history.
The King Street School is also included. A 19th century building, it is not open to the public because of its condition.
If you go
The Danbury Museum and Historical Society Authority, 43 Main St., Danbury. 203-743-5200; email firstname.lastname@example.com; visit www.danburymuseum.com.
Hours: Wednesday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; guided tours, Saturday only.
General admission starts at $6; different rates for seniors and Danbury residents; rolling rates for programs and exhibits. The current quilt exhibit is free.

an interesting conversation occurred with my wife last night when she informed that a good family friend of ours had offered to give our 2-year old daughter a large box of hand-me-down toys that her daughter had outgrown. included in the collection is a large-wooden dollhouse. my wife was interested to see how i would respond based on our decision to become minimalist.
as i began to think through what it would mean to bring in a large number of toys, i had a number of questions for my wife.
- are the toys something that our daughter will enjoy playing? easy answer – yes. she absolutely loves dolls! that's her thing – playing with dolls. i can picture the joy on her face already of having a dollhouse to put them in. shame on me if my quest to become minimalist would rob her of that joy.
- are the toys something that the other family wants to use to bless our family or just get out of their own house? we all know the family that graciously offers to give you their old treadmill or foosball table – not for the sake of blessing, but for the sake of removing the clutter from their own house. my wife assured me that they were genuinely hoping to bless our family – even to the point that the daughter ran up to her excitedly to tell about the toys that she had picked out for us.
- do we have toys that we can remove from our daughter's current collection to make room for the new ones? absolutely! there are many toys in the toy room that my little girl has outgrown or no longer has an interest in. we will sort out some of those toys and remove them to make room for the new ones.
i can't wait to see the joy on my daughter's face when the new dollhouse appears in our toyroom! and i am very grateful for the wonderful family whose generosity will bring her that joy. thank you.

Kidnapped Fla. Brothers: Scant Details Hinder Search
(NORTH MIAMI, Fla.) -- Police in Florida are searching for two small boys who were allegedly kidnapped by an acquaintance from their North Miami home Monday while a babysitter watched them and their mother ran an errand.
Cops say the brothers, Daren Bonilla, 5, and Rey Bonilla, 3, were driven off in what they believe is a silver Chevrolet SUV. But because they cannot confirm the make, model or license plate of the vehicle, no Amber Alert has been issued, hampering the search.
"A person known to [the mother] came here without her permission and told the person babysitting these kids, she had to take them somewhere," police Det. Felix Guadarrama told reporters Monday night outside the family home. "And since then we have not been able to locate her [the acquaintance] or the children.
"She told the babysitter, 'I need to take these children somewhere.' Before the babysitter could stop her, they were in the car and were gone," he said.
Police have identified the suspected kidnapper only as "Gloria," and described her as an acquaintance who knew the children and their mother. She is believed to be 23 years old, 5-foot-7 and 125 pounds.
A law enforcement source with knowledge of the case, but unauthorized to speak to the media about an ongoing investigation, told ABC News that "investigators feel the children are safe." But they have no knowledge of their whereabouts and have not been in contact with "Gloria," the source said
He said cops now know Gloria's last name, and that she had previously babysat the children. He would not say what evidence investigators have that makes them think the children are unharmed.
Police are not investigating and have not interviewed the boys' estranged father.
The mother, however, was being questioned by North Miami police.
Five-year-old Daren was last seen wearing a blue SpongeBob SquarePants T-shirt and blue basketball shorts. His younger brother Rey, 3, was last seen wearing a blue-and-red shirt and red shorts.

The Bullet Completely Penetrated the Erector Tube
The hole you see in the well-used Nightforce 3.5-15 x 50 NXS riflescope was made by an enemy 7.62×39 round fired at a U.S. soldier.
The bullet completely penetrated the erector tube—the heart of the scope's optical system. We're happy to report that the soldier was not injured, and the only casualty is the riflescope's magnification ring, frozen on 15x. Its focus, tracking, and all other functions work just fine. It holds point of aim like new.
The soldier wrapped the riflescope in duct tape to keep out sand and dirt, and used it without a problem for the next three days, completing his mission. We receive many stories like this. Because Nightforce riflescopes are used in active theaters by most of the elite special forces worldwide, they are subjected to— and survive— the most brutal conditions imaginable.
We won't say they are bullet proof, but there is one soldier who would argue otherwise.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
Overcome Everything Inc!
All-right guys!
Here's the deal - We do a ton of online sales and we have been using sales videos to really kick-butt in the last few months.
The ones that seem to work the best are basic power-point style presentations with simple themes - and we've been using Macs in house.
As you probably know, Keynote is way better than Powerpoint with the transitions - so here is what we're lookin for.
I am looking for a total butt-kickin' theme for keynote that is done up comic-book style. there is only one other keynote theme out there that I have been able to track down that is comic-book style - and it's nice, but I need something that truly rocks.
I need visually engaging transitions. Great fonts, room for images, drawings and text (headlines and bullets) -
It needs to be UBER flexible, and have all the options, while remaining streamlined and easy to use and impliment.
It absoultely must trump: http://www.keynotezone.com/themes/c…omics.html
The theme there is great, but it is free and anyone can get their hands on it. I want something that will virtually create a movie once I load up images, pics and text.
If you're up for it - give it a go!
graphic designers who understand direct-response sales.
If you don't know what direct response marketing is, please don't bother.
If you are a rock-solid designer, know about direct response marketing & a comic book fanatic, this project was built for you.
I am looking for several different layout options, with amazing transitions between them.
The final presentation will be captured with me doing voice-over a full-screen presentation of the keynote, capturing it all in ScreenFlow (on a mac) --
The final video output will be wide-screen - and then put in a youtube-sized wide-screen video optimized for streaming on people's browsers.
It absolutely must crush this: http://www.keynotezone.com/themes/c…omics.html
Impress me with your comic book style and ultimate design ninja abilities.
