text: Hi Ken, First, thank you for your response. We see the problem with mpi jobs. When people use PBS_NODEFILE variable to define the hosts for mpiexec to run we are seeing this error. It doesn't happen all the time. I tried to test some simple jobs to see whether I can see this variable on some nodes and it was ok. Problem is that it's happening randomly. For whatever reasons this variable PBS_NODEFILE is getting initialized or defined in the job environment. Whenever it happened we restarted pbs_moms and it was ok. At this point I'm not sure whether it's happening repeatedly on the same nodes. Now I'm waiting to see whether it happens on the same nodes again. We see this error in .err files whenever people try to access PBS_NODEFILE. If we restart pbs_mom once the job fails with this error, another job with the same script works fine with out any errors. For example, one user runs his job and at the end of his script he submits another job with this statement. ssh -x login-0-0 "cd /home ; qsub run-openmpi.sh" We don't allow users to submit jobs from compute nodes. We have a submit filter in place on login nodes. This user pretty much submits the same job from the running job. Which means it ran well first time, but failed to do so because of above mentioned error. Another user gets exact error as in the subject when she tried to access PBS_NODEFILE as var=$PBS_NODEFILE. First user tries to run his job with this statement. /share/apps/openmpi/1.4.3/intel/bin/mpiexec \ -n 144 -hostfile $PBS_NODEFILE \ env OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 \ /home/mitgcmuv We see this error in the .err file. As you can see, since it couldn't find the $PBS_NODEFILE it thinks of env as a hostfile and fails. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open RTE was unable to open the hostfile: env Check to make sure the path and filename are correct. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once we restarted the pbs_mom same script worked fine. I'm not sure what's causing this. I don't see anything wrong either in torque logs or syslogs. Today I made all nodes offline and plan to restart pbs_mom on all nodes hoping this would fix the issue forever, even though I doubt it might not. As we're not sure whether it is happening on the same nodes, restarting all nodes might give us an idea on this as well. Please let us know if you have any thoughts on what might be happening with our case. Thank you once again for your response and time. Regards, Sreedhar.

My Literary Hero
The Troubadour of Honed BanalityBy Barry Yourgrau
A., my girlfriend, is originally from Moscow. Her mother lives around the corner from us in Queens and throws dinner parties. It's mainly an older, cultured ex-Soviet crowd. Lots of vodka, lots of overeating zakuski (appetizers to accompany vodka)—hours of nostalgic guffawing (Soviet jokes) and choral crooning (dissident songs and Stalinist patriotic rousers, with equal pleasure). Not speaking the lingo, I grin a lot—a genial, inebriated, slightly patronized potted plant.
The air of these evenings is thick with Russian irony and cultural chauvinism. Pushkin is beyond all criticism. "How dare you even pronounce his name with your filthy mouth," A. will flare up, not altogether faking her indignance.
Or an old photographer-pal of Brodsky's from Leningrad (inevitably old pals of Brodsky's are present) will assert that Russian translations of Hemingway far surpass the originals.
This latter bit of flag-waving causes me to reflect that much of the literature that deeply influenced me as a writer I read in English translation. Foremost stands Isaac Babel, whose compressed, lyric violence overwhelmed me in my twenties. Then there was Bulgakov; even P—n's fate-haunted tales. Later, in my early days with A., while she was away and I mooched disconsolately in her apartment, I read in translation Shalamov's horrifying, degraded, flickering Kolyma Tales about his frozen years in the Siberian Gulag. I kept dropping the book and pacing away, moaning and clutching my head at the savagery, the unspeakable pathos. Then there were Cendrars and Simenon, Borges and César Aira (another alchemical Argentinean, rendered brilliantly by Chris Andrews) .
But, however good the English versions, there's always in these books a slight straining—a hovering sense of idioms being just off. Read More

In this study, 130 critically ill people were assessed for vitamin D levels and time until death. The majority of the participants were admitted to the intensive care unit or hospital with serious infections. Vitamin D levels were measured at the time of admission using a commonly used test (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]).
The average vitamin D level among the participants was very low (14 ng/ml), indicating a vitamin D deficiency. Of the 44% of the participants who died within 60 days of hospitalization, those with low vitamin D levels (below 20 ng/ml) died an average of 9 days sooner than those with higher vitamin D levels (above 20 ng/ml) .
Prior studies suggest that vitamin D insufficiency may be a risk factor for sepsis (serious widespread infection), and the authors of this study make the case that vitamin D supplementation may possibly help prevent and/or treat people with serious infection. They comment, "Our results provide important background information to perform larger scale, intervention-based trials of adjunctive [supplemental] vitamin D therapy in a variety of clinical settings, including further studies in the management of human sepsis syndrome and other critical illnesses."
Vitamin D helps every system in our body work properly including our immune and cardiovascular systems and is also important for sugar (glucose) metabolism and bone health. It's no wonder then that increasing research reveals the importance of getting your D:
Too little D or too much vitamin D is not good for your health. Although experts do not agree on exactly how much vitamin D a person needs to prevent disease and maintain health, the recommended daily allowance for most adults was recently increased to 600 IU per day and 800 IU per day for adults over age 70. Other people may need more and some need less. Talk with a knowledgeable doctor about the amount that is right for you and the risks and benefits of supplementation.

Salisbury, N.C. - Josh Roper led all scorers with 25 points and Whitson had his fourth double-double of the season, but the Indians were led by Stephen Coles' 18 points as the Tornados fell in Goodman Gymnasium on Wednesday night, 93-75.
Roper was 9-20 from the floor in the game and had five assists as Brevard (10-5, 3-2 SAC) fell in their second South Atlantic Conference game of the season. Whitson also reached the 20 point mark with 21 points on 9-15 shooting and pulled down 11 rebounds as the Tornados outrebounded Catawba 45-42 in the game. Sam Carlisle added 10 points and seven rebounds and Shane Galloway had six points in the first half as the Tornados were undone by 21 turnovers in the game.
Catawba (9-6, 2-2 SAC) was led by Coles as the freshman forward went eight for eight from the floor in the first half on his way to a team-high 18 points. Justin Huntley scored 17 points off the bench and pulled down five rebounds while Antonio Houston and Donald Rutherford added 15 and 14 points respectively as the Indians went 35-73 (47.9 percent) from the floor in the game.
Coles scored the first 10 points for the Indians as they opened the game with a 14-4 run which lasted the first 5:12 of the game as Catawba connected on seven of their first 10 attempts in the early going. The Indians built their largest lead of the first half at 16 with the score 30-14 with 8:45 left in the opening period as Coles added two more of his first-half 16 points.
The Tornados responded with a run of their own, started on a pair of free throws by Drew Schauss and Roper was able to connect from behind the arc off the assist from Dellinger as the Tornados brought the game to 34-22 with 5:16 remaining in the opening period. Brevard cut the lead even closer, bringing the game back to within six on a free throw by Carlisle with 45 seconds left on the clock to put the score at 41-35.
The next ten seconds contained a multitude of events that results in technical fouls being assessed to players on both teams with 35 seconds remaining in the period. Roper connected on his first free throw attempt to put the Tornados within five points at 41-36, but Fields connected on three of his four attempts on the other end for Catawba and Justin Huntley scored on a jumper in the paint from five feet out with three seconds left on the clock as the teams went into halftime with the score at 47-38 in favor of the home team.
Brevard held the slight rebounding edge at halftime with 22 rebounds in the game, but Catawba was led by Coles going a perfect eight of eight from the floor in the first half in connecting on 50.0 percent (18-36) of their shots in building their first half lead.
The Indians opened up a 21 point lead in the second half on Huntley's layup, but a layup by Roper on Brevard's next trip down the court put the score at 73-54 with 9:45 remaining, sparking a 12-0 run by the Tornados capped by another Roper layup on a fast break as Brevard cut the lead down to 73-63 with 8:11 to play. Catawba would respond with a 12-0 run of their own to build the lead back up to 22 on a jumper by Houston to put the score at 85-63.
The Tornados would give one last charge as Roper hit a three-pointer with 45 seconds remaining in the game to put the score at 89-75, but the Indians would close out the game with the next four points in sealing the 93-75 win.
The Tornados continue with game four of their five game road trip on Saturday, January 16th, as Brevard makes the trip to Cuddy Arena in Wingate, N.C. to take on SAC opponent Wingate University. Tipoff for the game between the Tornados and the Bulldogs is set for 4 p.m.

A former law enforcement officer at the center of a bribery scheme will spend time in jail for his role in offering money to a Utah Highway Patrol trooper to keep him from losing his license in a drunken driving arrest.
Matt Jones, 35, pleaded guilty to offering a bribe to a public servant, a second-degree felony.
On Monday, 2nd District Judge Michael Lyon suspended a prison term of 1-15 years in favor of 36 months probation and 90 days in the Box Elder County jail, along with a $600 fine. Jones was allowed work release.
The sentence was identical to that handed down by Lyon earlier this month to co-defendant Daniel Kotter.
Kotter, a former Perry police officer, was accused in September 2011 of offering a Utah Highway Patrol trooper $1,000 to not appear at a Utah Drive License Division hearing for Jones, who had previously been an Ogden police officer and Weber County sheriff's deputy.
Kotter and the trooper communicated several times via texts and phone conversations, several of which the trooper recorded.
"... Kotter told [the trooper] that he did not want to call it a 'b-r-i-b-e' but a Christmas bonus," investigators wrote in Kotter's arrest warrant.
Jones was getting a job where he needed a commercial driver license, Kotter said, and didn't want to lose his license over the DUI.
Kotter also asked the trooper about Jones' blood-alcohol level. When the trooper replied via text message that it was about 0.15, almost double the legal limit, Kotter upped his offer to $2,500.
After a hearing was scheduled with the Driver License Division, Kotter met with the trooper at a Phillips 66 convenience store in Ogden and gave him $2,000 in cash in exchange for skipping the hearing.
Kotter was arrested as he drove away from the store.
Jones said in court papers that Kotter knew the trooper well, and would take care of the matter. Jones said he and Kotter agreed to give the trooper " 'a Christmas present' for his willingness to help me out."
But Jones said Kotter told him the trooper wanted the money before Christmas, and since Jones did not have any money, Kotter agreed to pay the entire amount.
Jones admitted that he "aided or encouraged" Kotter's actions.

By Lesli Nolen
June 2010
I cannot believe we are already in June. I sat down to write this article and thought, "Wow- where has time gone?" It seems like the older I get the faster life gets.
In May my daughter celebrated her 9th birthday. Nine years old—it seems like yesterday she just a baby, so cute and sweet, but now she's 9. She is half way to being out of the house. I don't know whether to cry or celebrate. Maybe I'll do a little of both. But it got me thinking how much life has changed— and how fast it's changed— since I was her age.
I look back and realize just how good life was when I was growing up. If it wasn't good, I certainly didn't know about it. I thought I was queen of the world. I had what I thought was a perfect childhood. I had a mom, dad, sister and a dog. What else could a person ask for?
I grew up in a small west Texas town on a couple of acres where you could sit on the front porch and watch the sun set all the way down on the horizon. Life was grand.
There was always something to do. I either picked up rocks in the horse arena, hoed weeds, brushed a horse, shot the BB gun or rode my bike. I was very seldom in the house. Outside was the place to be.
I would dissect snakes, make mud pies, try out the cat food or build something with left over wood. There were lots of things to keep me busy. I'm sure there were times I pestered my parents and complained about being bored, but I don't remember doing that a lot and I know I had to make up my own entertainment. It was not provided for me.
I know times and technology have changed since I was a kid, but the one thing I think that has changed most is people. It's not all the new gadgets and gizmos that are making us change, it's people who are changing. We have a choice to either let these things, these worldly things change us or we don't. Life, better yet, society tells us how we should live, what we should drive, what we should wear and what we should eat. Growing up I didn't have a choice. I drove what was given to me, I wore what was bought or made for me and I ate what was fixed and put on the table for me. And yes, we ate together as a family. We could pretty much do whatever we wanted to do after dinner, but dinner time was family time. We had some of our best conversations at the dinner table, then and now.
Back then cell phones weren't around, and yet someone was always there when I needed them. I didn't have a GPS device the first time I drove to college, I had a MAP. And my friends' parents had the right to bust my backside if I got out of line. It was expected. We had values and morals—something I think is lacking in this wold the most.
Growing up I had a "drug" problem: I was "drug" to church; I was "drug" to family functions; I was "drug" to everywhere my parents went. I had rules to follow and consequences to pay if the rules were broken. We kids did not rule our household—our parents did. And I'm a better person for it.
Our group at Harris Avenue Baptist Church took another trip to Ragtown Gospel Theater in Post, Texas, and there heard Chip Polk sing a song titled "Independence." This song speaks about the freedom guaranteed by the founders of our Nation to worship God openly and without restraint. Independence secured that freedom and if we are going to preserve liberty and independence for our future generations we as Christian Americans must choose to stand strong on the dependence of Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Not on the dependence of man.
I look at my daughter and the future that stands in front of her and all I can do is pray. I can't bring back the 80s when life was good and Reagan was president. I can't change the gadgets and gizmos of the world and I can't change the pace of life. But I can give her the dependence of Christ, morals and values and a strong foundation to build on.
Time goes by so fast, and if we don't stop and grab hold of it, it will be gone before we know it. Take the time to stop and smell the roses. Take the time to change a life. Take the time to pray.

On past remodeling projects I've often found myself wishing for X-ray vision so I could see inside a wall or some other inaccessible space. But recently I bought a neat little tool that does the trick just as effectively: Ridgid's SeeSnake Micro, a 3/4-inch-diameter video camera on a 3-foot flexible wand. To look inside a wall, ceiling, or chase, you simply drill a 3/4-inch hole, insert the camera — which is equipped with a pair of adjustable LEDs — and watch the 2.4-inch color LCD monitor on the tool's handle. Since the product is waterproof, you can also send it down a toilet or drain to look for lost objects or obstructions.
It comes with a mirror, a hook, and a magnet, all of which clip onto the end of the camera. Optional 3-foot extensions (part no. 26658) lengthen the wand up to 30 feet.
My SeeSnake gets a lot of use. On one bathroom remodel, my plumber used it to check the solder joints and connections for a multihead shower. On the same project, my electrician used it to trace some wiring in a joist bay crowded with ductwork. Then he used the accessory hook to snag a wire he'd fished from above. I used the camera to look for leaks while testing the jetted tub. This is a tool you'll find countless applications for.
The kit comes in a soft padded carrying case and weighs a little over a pound. The camera is powered by four AAA batteries. I didn't measure the runtime, but Ridgid's estimate of three hours sounds about right.
If you look around, you should be able to find a SeeSnake Mini for less than $200, which is a bargain when you consider the headaches it can prevent. It's not a bad sales tool, either: I've discovered that pulling it out to look for hidden problems is a good way to impress new clients when you're looking at a potential job.

• AUDIO: Jacques Martin | Mike Cammalleri | Jaro Spacek | Jeff Halpern | Yannick Weber
The Canadiens decided to break up their normal routine yesterday. Instead of hitting the ice at the Bell Centre, there was a team meeting followed by off-ice training in the gym or soccer on the adjoining indoor pitch in Brossard.
Coach Jacques Martin said he had the option of dressing Yannick Weber as a seventh defenceman tomorrow night against Toronto but he was still considering his options. One certainty is that Carey Price will start in goal for the 19th time in 20 games.
And there's no update on injured defenceman Andrei Markov. His absence is still described as long-term but Martin said further tests are scheduled to determine the extent of the injury and a treatment plan.
Markov is reported to be heading to Cleveland next Tuesday to meet with Anthony Miniaci, his orthopedic surgeon. Fellow defenceman Jaroslav Spacek is said to be no worse for wear after face-planting into the boards late in last night's game. He'll play against Toronto tomorrow.

TSN's James Duthie talked to Mike Richards, and P.K. Subban's name came up:
JD: What specifically did Subban say to upset you?
MR: I'm not going to get into this again. He's a
great player, don't get me wrong. I never meant to start an uproar with a
minor comment. It is what it is.
JD: Is there a code for how rookies should behave?
MR: I went through the same thing. I remember my
first year we were playing against New Jersey and I was running around
and lipping off to Patrick Elias. Elias came to me and Sergei Brylin
too, and they said, "If you continue to show disrespect for players,
you are going to get hurt." That really hit home. I didn't want to be
known as that guy who shows disrespect. I want to be a guy who plays
hard in between the whistles but not cross the line. That was six years
ago, but it hit home. When you hear it from a guy like Patrick Elias,
who has a done a lot in this league and is well respected, you remember.

Producers find that restoring antique mixers helps recall what concrete delivery was like in the old days.
Whether it's a hobby or a public relations effort, many producers are restoring faded pieces of history to crowd-pleasing jewels. Often it's a key mechanic or driver who accepts the difficult task. When restoration is completed, each producer finds that the time and expense has resulted in something more than a piece of pretty iron. Capturing a piece of history documents just how far concrete production has come in the past 50 years.
Bill Farris, a retired Missouri concrete truck driver owns the antique 1927 Hug mixer truck that everyone wants to touch. An avid automobile restorer for more than 30 years, Farris has gathered more than his fair share of rusting doors, fenders, and special small items. The retired mixer driver from Breckenridge Material Co., a multiplant St. Louis-area company, has a number of other antique units in varying states of restoration, but the mixer holds a special place in his heart.
Since 1973, the Hug Roadbuilder has been a work in progress. Farris' restoration project, which would take 5 years, became a family effort. Farris extended the """family""" restoration effort to his employer of more than 20 years, approaching the McKean family, owners of Breckenridge Material. In exchange for the promise to paint the truck with the company's black-and-gold color scheme, Breckenridge shared the necessary maintenance supplies, nuts, bolts, welding rods, and grease.
Gil McKean, Breckenridge's current owner, knows just how popular the vehicle is. Even though the company had little to do with the restoration efforts, the producer receives many phone calls requesting information about the unit. """We feel very fortunate to share in Bill Farris' efforts,""" says McKean. """It's been a definite plus for our community relations."""
Another restorer, Jan Hodneland, equipment manager for Central Pre-Mix Concrete Inc., Spokane, Wash., accepted the challenge to find and restore a mixer matching one depicted in a photo of the company's first truck, a vintage 1936 chassis and mixer. Hodneland located a chassis at a nearby fuel supplier. Several months later, a producer in Yakima, Wash., told Hodneland of a wrecked mixer discovered in a ravine. Central Pre-Mix Concrete plant mechanics restored and combined both the mixer and chassis. The result was an award-winning vehicle that continues to draw praise from observers today.
With that successful restoration completed, Central Pre-Mix Concrete President Dan Murphy offered Hodneland another challenge: find and restore a 1954 International. Finally, a friend spotted a chassis in a log mill's scrap area near the Washington-Canada border. The truck was a mechanical mess, since it had been used as a logjammer for at least 25 years. Hodneland found a 6-cubic-yard mixer at a small producer's scrap yard near the Grand Coulee Dam. Even though it didn't have a pony motor, Hodneland found enough parts off other junkers that could be combined to rebuild one unit.
Both trucks display the now-retired Hodneland's contribution to Central Pre-Mix Concrete's success.
All but one of the pre-1950 mixer drum manufacturers have been out of business for many years, so finding replacement parts that are true to the design can be difficult.
If you are considering restoring an antique drum, Shumaker Industries, a manufacturer of replacement drums, and De La Rosa Industries, a California mixer drum rebuilder, both offer one important tip: Send in the old drum with all the pieces attached to it.
The article includes the story of Forty Broom, a designer and sell of portable concrete equipment since the 1940s. Broom reminisces about the changes in equipment through the years.

LONG BEACH — A 35-year-old Long Beach man convicted in the 2003 rape, robbery, beating and murder of a local woman killed for $6 worth of food stamps appeared briefly in court Thursday morning for a motion to dismiss his defense attorney and replace her with the lawyer who handled his appeal.
Kevin Pearson appeared handcuffed and shackled before Long Beach Superior Court Judge Tomson Ong. His conviction was upheld by the California Supreme Court in January, but the court overturned his death sentence, finding the judge erred in granting a prosecution request to excuse a potential juror on the grounds she gave conflicting responses when asked if she could vote for death penalty.
A Marsden motion, which is a motion made by a defendant to fire their court-appointed lawyer due to ineffective counsel or a conflict, was filed on behalf of Pearson by Conrad Petermann, the criminal defense attorney who handled Pearson's appeal.
Petermann is seeking to replace Nancy Sperber as defense counsel in the re-trial of the penalty phase of the case.
The hearing, however, was postponed until Sept. 13 to allow time for attorneys on both sides of the case to prepare.
In addition to overturning Pearson's death sentence, the state Supreme Court also threw out jury findings of special circumstances that Pearson personally used a deadly weapon and that the murder involved torture.
Pearson and two other men, Jamelle Armstrong and Warren Hardy, were convicted of kidnapping, robbing, torturing, raping and killing 43-year-old Penny Sigler, also known as Penny Keptra, on Dec. 29, 1998. Her body was found near the San Diego (405) Freeway the day after her death.
At trial, Pearson testified that before the attack, he and the two other defendants got drunk and high from smoking marijuana and drinking beer and a mixture of alcoholic beverages, which they called "gasoline."
Like Pearson, Armstrong and Hardy were also sentenced to death for the crime and they are awaiting execution at San Quentin State Prison, according to state prison records.
At the original trial, prosecutors said Sigler was walking down Wardlow Road alone with $6 worth of food stamps in her pocket when she was attacked by the three men.
Prosecutors have vowed to seek the death penalty once again.
Pearson, meanwhile, is being held at the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles without bail.

2002 Mazda B4000 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2002 Mazda B4000 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
A dirty, or contaminated mass airflow sensor (MAF) can cause the engine to run poorly. The Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. MAF sensor related fault codes P0102 and/or P0103 may be stored. In some cases, carefully cleaning the sensor element will fix the problem. If not, replacement of the sensor may be required.
Water intrusion into a connector (X309) located under the cab, beneath the driver's seat, can cause a rough idle, erratic speedometer operation, ABS Light and Check Engine Light illumination, and automatic transmission shifting problems. If needed, connector repair parts are available from Mazda dealers, and possibly some Ford dealers.
If the engine cranks but does not start, it may be caused by a tripped inertia switch. Switch the key to "ON" and the fuel pump should be heard running for a second or two. Listen at the gas filler if necessary. The inertia switch is located on the firewall and can be tripped when the parking brake is set too hard and then released. The inertia switch should be reset, and will click when it is reset.
The engine may fail to start due to an electrically shorted sensor. Some of the sensors may internally short and not blow any fuses. A technician may find no spark and no operation of the fuel injectors in the diagnosis. One way a technician may isolate the defective sensor is by disconnecting sensors one by one to see if the engine starts.

Passion to help others inspired graduates
Airport High School teacher William Lenard of Columbia discovered that he had an opportunity to inspire other African-American males to become educators.
Kelly Moran of Conway knew that middle school students were intimidated by math, so she found ways to match math to the individual sixth grader.
After finding studies in pharmacy biology were unfulfilling, Erica Boykin of Hartsville discovered exercise science and plans to devote her career to helping prevent childhood obesity.
Their achievements are just a few of the success stories from the University of South Carolina's summer commencement exercises Saturday (Aug. 7) for baccalaureate, master's and professional degree recipients from all eight campuses.
Lenard and Moran said a passion for educating young people led them into teaching and on to master's degrees in education administration – degrees that will help them inspire and mentor the next generation of educators.
"I have been able to see the impact directly that my being in the classroom has had on male students, particularly African-American males," said Lenard. "They can see that someone like them has gone to college and cares about education. They know that someone like them has succeeded, and they can, too."
A 24-year veteran of the classroom, Moran said distance learning was invaluable in her quest for her master's degree, but that coming to Carolina's campus for some course work was a great experience.

Expectations Exceeded
By Robaire
from Ottawa, CANADA
These drapes exceeded my expectations. They are luxurious, affordable, effective. They were easy to unpack and easy to install. In fact, I installed them in my bedroom to block out the sun and reduce the noise. Last weekend I actually slept in for the first time in a long time without the sun rousing me awake.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The most obvious topic choice for this week would be that of Allianz Park. But so much has been written about Sarries' new home over the previous weeks and months that there was nothing more to be added - there is an incredible feel about the place and one that will hopefully become a fortress for the Men in Black in games to come. With this in mind, my attention turned to a visit I made to the 'Hitz' project, run by Saracens, just over a fortnight ago.
For those who are not familiar with the scheme, it is a social project aimed at those at risk of exclusion and anti-social behaviour using rugby to change the behaviour of, inspire and create opportunities for disadvantaged young people aged 11 to 19.
Each Premiership club has a scheme similar in nature with the schemes being run by Sarries being situated in the North of the capital.
What struck me most about the project was the sheer passion of everyone involved - the coaches as well as those participating.
It was just a group of people playing rugby and loving every minute of it, something that can sometimes be lost in the age of professionalism.
However, this project is about so much more than just the rugby. It has the ability to change people's lives, it may sound cliché but it is very much the truth.
The project is surrounded by individuals with success stories, whether they are in the sport itself or personal development. It is about the growth of people, giving them the tools to tackle life's challenges and better themselves.
The coaches on the project are more than just there to deliver sessions on skills, they become mentors and friends to the participants. Something that was very evident just from the small amount of time I spend observing the work they carry out.
For young people, authority figures often become the enemy, but there was no hint of that at all, everybody welcomed each other with open arms, regardless of who they were.
Barriers that had been reinforced throughout their lives and experiences were finally being broken down.
The Saracens community team are award winning, and while visiting the project in action it is easy to see why. They quietly but successfully go about their work, often without praise, and the work they carry out with the Hitz project barely scratches the surface.
Hopefully Allianz Park will be able to provide the team with a stable home but which also allows the club to continue the amazing work they do with young people being inspired and helped along the way.

text: The script I wrote for the nvidia-drivers should create a new xorg for you. In the event that that doesnt work you can try the nvidia utility by invoking the command "nvidia-xconfig" and see if that does the trick. If you want to remove the nvidia drivers just remove the package and the invoke the command "Xorg -configure" which will generate a new xorg.conf in the smae directory as you run the cmmand in. Then copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try startx again.
