    Greetins NERSC SP User,
    
    As I write this (13:10 PST), there are about 3 hours left
    before Seaborg goes down for maintenance.  There are about
    120 nodes idle.  There are *NO* jobs currently in the backfill
    class (the only class allowed to start jobs at this time).
    
    This is a great opportunity to get some quick turnaround for
    medium-parallel, under 3 hour jobs.  To submit a job to the
    backfill class, add this to your batch script:
    
       #@class = backfill
    
    This class has a 4 hour time limit.  Jobs still running at
    16:00 today will be discarded, as will any pending jobs in the
    backfill class.
