For me, no.
As a Mother of children who are 5 and 6, and as a teacher, it was especially horrible.
I went to pick up B from school on Friday and sobbed silently in the carline. I wore sunglasses on a cloudy day to protect my 1st grader from my anguish and tears. I cannot describe the interesting mix of emotions I experienced as I saw his class come running happily out of the school.
It was painful and precious.
I am a middle school teacher, although, I am working in a different job and not teaching children right now. I have been in the classroom when we went on "lockdown" because a gunman was loose in the area. I covered the classroom windows and doors, huddled the kids in the back of the room, and made up silly excuses to explain what was going on, and why helicopters were flying so low over our campus. I didn't want them to worry or be afraid. As a teacher, it's just what you do.
It has been hard not to cry, these past few days. We have kept the news off when the boys were around. I want to protect their innocence as long as I can. I don't want them to know about all of the horrible things in this world. I don't want them to know the real fear in my heart when I pray for God's hedge of protection to surround their school and classroom, as I have prayed even before this tragedy occured.
There are many things I don't understand, but thankfully, there is one thing I do know. I know those babies and educators stepped right into Glory beyond our imagination. I know that in my heart. As I posted on facebook Sunday, our church band played and sang the words "Hallelujah to the God who holds my right hand" and all I could see was those babies reaching up to Jesus as he held their hand and helped them up to Heaven.
But what about those who are left behind? They are left here, with the horrible emptiness, and little siblings who don't understand, and gifts wrapped under the tree, and a calendar of dates to face without their loved one. But they will have to carry on. And my heart hurts. It. HURTS. And while I know He will hold their hand and walk with them, I know it won't be easy. Ever again. What amazing Faith it must take to cling to the Anchor in the midst of that storm. What courage it will take for them to continue on.
Life is fleeting. Time is precious.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/1/2014 (1292 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- The owner of the National Post says Canadians who enjoy reading the newspaper, and getting it delivered to their homes, should expect to start paying more.
Postmedia Network Canada Corp. chief executive Paul Godfrey told shareholders Thursday print isn't dead, but it's costing media companies more to produce because advertising revenues are dropping.
Postmedia plans to shift its strategy to focus more on exclusive content and "unashamedly charge for products of value," he said at the company's annual meeting.
He also outlined plans to redesign most of Postmedia's 10 big-city newspapers.
"We know that our print loyalists will pay for this premium product," Godfrey said in prepared remarks.
"And they will have to pay more to benefit from home delivery because it costs more, and advertisers aren't carrying as much of the load as they used to."
Godfrey's outlook for his dailies, and the industry as a whole, came as Postmedia reported a first-quarter loss of $11.8 million, weakened by lower advertising revenues and soaring costs to rework its operations.
Like most of the newspaper industry, Postmedia has been grappling with a years-long trend of readers and advertisers turning away from print publications to digital media, including websites.
To counter the decline, Postmedia began a three-year plan to dramatically change its business model by setting up digital pay walls for its websites, ending the publication of many Sunday newspapers and selling its headquarters in Toronto.
In his speech, Godfrey said Postmedia will prioritize an initiative to create more premium content that emphasizes regular columnists, insights on hot topics and reworked sections that cater to niche audiences such as luxury car enthusiasts.
"Whatever it is that our audiences value most, we'll value most too," he said.
"And we know what those things are because we've done the research, by platform, by audience, by market."
Some of the changes in the works include redesigning eight of its 10 newspapers, with the National Post and tabloid Vancouver Province being the two exceptions.
Postmedia rose from the ashes of bankrupt media company Canwest when Godfrey culled together a group of investors in 2010.
Since then, the company has been focused on reworking its operations, which has included shutting down an in-house news-wire service.

1. Re: Solaris 10797449 Sep 27, 2012 11:31 AM (in response to 964794)There is no way to convert an ZFS pool into SVM volume manager.
however, if you have a mirrored pool, you may consider
- detaching the mirror drive and initialize it with svm and then copy your data manually to the new SVM volume.
- Test
- Destroy the ZFS pool and initialize and attach the disk to the SVM volume.

2. Re: Solaris 10964794 Sep 28, 2012 10:46 AM (in response to 797449)I have tried to migrate solaris 10 (zfs) to (SVM), By LiveUpgrade be "copied" the OS FS zfs to ufs structure (SVM), but this message appears from LiveUpgrade:
ERROR: File system template option -m is not allowed when BE has ZFS root
We need to migrate the OS within rpool (zfs) to SVM. Is there a procedure?
3. Re: Solaris 10797449 Sep 30, 2012 4:19 AM (in response to 964794)you may try flash archive image using flarcreate, and restore it to new UFS.

4. Re: Solaris 10964794 Oct 1, 2012 11:27 AM (in response to 797449)Hi Ushas.
Progress ..... ...
I trying to run flarcreate:
command: flarcreate -n solaris10 -c -S -R / /imagen/solaris10.flar
I've had to remove the "-x" because I get the following:
"ERROR: The A, f, F, x, x, y and z options are not compatible with archiving to ZFS pool"
Then I try to boot from DVD and select "Flash Image" , so when I select the image Flar created appears:
"ERROR: The file type is ZFS can not be used to install a system"
I think it does not work fine with zfs. Is there something that I'm not doing well, when I run the flar create?
thanks very much for your input
5. Re: Solaris 10797449 Oct 2, 2012 5:14 AM (in response to 964794)Hi Victorio,
Why do you want to go backward to SVM when zfs root pool is superior to it and has many advanced features?
Ushas Symon
6. Re: Solaris 10964794 Oct 2, 2012 10:39 AM (in response to 797449)The company prefers to have all servers with Solaris 10 and SVM filesystem, unified. "For now".
Any suggestions would be most appreciated
7. Re: Solaris 10Cindys-Oracle Oct 2, 2012 2:43 PM (in response to 964794)I don't know of any automated tools that can convert a ZFS root file system to a UFS root file system.
The Solaris tools are generally to migrate UFS to ZFS and not the other way around.
You can use tar or cpio to copy the ZFS data into a UFS file system, but this method is probably not
very helpful for copying a root file system.
I think you are better off re-installing one of your systems back to UFS and then using that image
to replicate/install other systems.

There will always be term paper procrastinators, but now those students who postpone the inevitable are using top-of-the-line computer workstations and high-quality laser printers in campus computer labs, many of which are open 24 hours a day-that's if students don't have their own computer and printer.
But there are other advantages to being a UB student at the end of the 20th century. Ready to register for classes? Web-based course registration lets you log on and sign up without setting foot in a line.
Need to talk to your professor? E-mail her, and know you'll get a reply. Or, post a question to the online class discussion bulletin board (or listserv) she moderates.
Settling down to study? Review your professor's lectures and class notes, prepared with PowerPoint or other presentation software, and even consult the all-important course syllabus, posted on the class website.
Doing research? Log on to BISON, the University Libraries' website, to access the online catalog and vast collection of databases and other resources, while sitting cozily in your dorm room.
The word's getting around: UB is wired. This year Yahoo! Internet Life magazine ranked UB as one of its Top 100 Most Wired U.S. Colleges (at number 47, UB was the highest-ranked SUNY school). Also, for the first time this fall, incoming freshmen are required to have access to a personal computer beyond the more than 1,600 provided in the university's public computing labs. Even if you graduated from UB as recently as three years ago, you probably wouldn't recognize the "virtual" place it has become. So, what does it mean to be "wired @ UB?"
Wired Services
Before they even choose UB, most students have done their homework; in a recent UB survey of prospective freshmen, the Internet was cited as the second most valued resource they used to evaluate colleges. Prospective students can submit their UB application and send their financial aid application electronically. Once they arrive on campus, they enter UB's wired world almost immediately. At orientation, students are introduced to "MyUB" (their personalized portal to UB web resources) and are set up with e-mail accounts and unrestricted, free Internet access. This year, for the first time, freshmen are given a UBwired CD-ROM that's loaded with e-mail, web, anti-virus and other useful software.
When UB senior Sonya Leopardi, a biochemical pharmacology major, first arrived in 1995, she had never used e-mail or surfed the web. "I quickly got into e-mail. It was vital my freshman year," she says. "The most important thing I had going on was writing letters to my old friends." Originally an engineering major, she remembers discovering the engineering computer lab her first week of classes. "My friends and I browsed on the web for hours because we had never experienced it and were so fascinated by the whole idea."
For some, UB's super-fast web access via Ethernet is the most desirable perk. "Having an ultra-fast hookup was a prerequisite for the school I was choosing," says Kevin Eye, a junior majoring in computer engineering. "If a school didn't have it, I wasn't going there." UB students definitely have it-Ethernet is roughly 200 times faster than the dial-up access via modem that most home users are still stuck with-and they've got it in residence halls, public computing sites and off-campus residence sites. With more instructors incorporating the web and multimedia into their coursework, a fast connection that allows effective use of the web's audio and video capabilities is important.
There might have been a time when only computer majors needed a computer at school, but in 1999 virtually every discipline makes use of computers. "As an art major, I didn't think I'd need a computer, but I was proven wrong," says Reanna Kaopuiki, a senior majoring in painting. "Some of my classes have all the homework assignments available only via e-mail. We even scan our portfolios onto disk using computers. It's much more efficient and a lot more professional."
It doesn't take long for students to realize the value of some of UB's other popular web-based services. SOAR (Student Online Access to Records) is the secure database that allows students to register for classes, access their class schedules and grades, and track credits earned. DARS (Digital Audit Requirement System) keeps up with what course requirements a student has met-a great course planning tool. ARIES (Articulation Reporting Information Evaluation System) helps transfer students by assessing transfer credits; it also compares courses at more than 1,800 U.S. campuses with UB courses and requirements.
"SOAR and DARS are excellent," says Eye. "It's so much more convenient. I can't even imagine what it would be like with everyone trying to register in person."

BroncVision Schedule Kicks Off Sunday
It is hard to beat the excitement of a Division I athletic contest, especially when it takes place in intimate surroundings like Alumni Gym or under the bright lights of Ben Cohen Field. You can feel the energy in the air.
A lot of energy has been put into trying to bring the Rider fans the next best thing, when traveling to Lawrenceville is not an option.
BroncVision is the next best thing, and every Rider fan's second option.
Through HD cameras at various angles, using state of the art graphics for basketball wrestling and a single, HD camera for soccer, field hockey and volleyball, the professional BroncVision staff brings all action to the Rider fans.
All outdoor streming events are weather permitting.
"We're excited once again to offer high quality video streamed productions of our athletic contests via BroncVision so that our fans can have all-access to the Broncs if they can't make it to campus for the game," said Karin Torchia, Rider's senior women's administrator and associate athletic director for external operations.
BroncVision is located on the athletics' home page at www.gobroncs.com and is subscription based. Archives of each game will also be available to those who subscribe within 24-48 hours following each contest.
Student-athlete features, highlight videos and interviews will also once again be available in the on-demand section.
In addition to BroncVision, all home men's and women's soccer games, volleyball matches, field hockey and basketball games will have free LiveStats available via GameWatcher links on the respective schedule pages.
BroncVision is a broadband video channel that is the ultimate place for Broncs fans on the web!
BroncVision is powered by GoBroncs.com, the Official Website of Rider University Athletics.

Cattaraugus legislators say waste wood proposal doesn't add up
LITTLE VALLEY – Cattaraugus County legislators have some serious doubts about a new technology being developed at the SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry College in Syracuse that would make use of the county's abundant hardwood.
Last month Preston S. Gilbert and Thomas E. Amidon of the forestry college laid out what it is that they want to bring to Cattaraugus County and the surrounding areas. The process of extracting compounds from waste hardwood in the area would offer a way to develop new businesses, manage local forests and even retain people in the area, according to Amidon.
The process that has been developed at the forestry school, as well as within Amidon's business, Applied Biorefinery Sciences, uses a hot water extraction process that frees different compounds from the wood to create advanced biomaterial products, enhanced wood products and combined heat and power. Legislators discussed the methods and the plans at a Wednesday meeting of the Development and Agriculture Committee.
Legislator James J. Snyder Jr., R-Cuba, who has expertise in forestry, said the numbers that were laid out last week "don't add up."
"I went home and crunched the numbers," he said. "For this to make sense, it has to work on paper and these numbers that we were given just do not add up."
Snyder said the proposal needs to be reworked, and he would like to have Gilbert and Amidon return to answer questions about it.
Under the proposal, a facility to be built in Cattaraugus County would take in about 500 dry tons of wood a day. That comes out to about 40 logging truck loads.
The facility would not use premium hardwoods – in fact, it would be what is normally considered waste and is sold as heating and firewood, Snyder said.
"The proposal claims that they would be paying $70 a dry ton for the wood," he said. "Right now, the market price is about $40 per green ton in the area. The cost for firewood would have to go up."
Another issue, Snyder said, is that owners that are now not paid for waste trees that are cut on their land would be looking to be paid.
"If the land owner has to be paid, with the harvest price, prices are going to go up," he said. "There is no way I can get close to [Amidon's] numbers, based on what he told us."
The only thing that is being asked of the County Legislature at this time is a contract with Seneca Trail Resource Conservation and Development to have its executive director, Patrick McGlew, represent the county's interests as the bio-refinery project moves forward. The contract would pay McGlew $75,000 over two years.
Movement on the funding of a consultant has been halted until the project is studied further.

The report I had was twice as long, but still in > the ballpark of "too long". :-( Well my claim was that it shouldn't scale that way. Assuming you have the same statistics target the sample size is the same regardless of the size of the table. When the table is small there might be a significant number of tuples on the same pages so the number of pages to read might be much smaller than the sample size. As the table grows it would eventually reach the point where each page has about 1 sampled tuple on it but from that point on increasing the size of the table won't increase the amount of i/o Postgres does. However on thinking about it further hard drives don't really work that way. Each page that's read in causes a seek -- if the head is on a different track. Reading two pages on the same page is about the same speed as reading a single page on that track. So even though Postgres is doing the same amount of i/o the hard drive is actually doing more and more seeks up to the point where each sample is a separate seek. analyze.c samples 300 * statistics_target rows -- that means the default is it to 30,000 rows. So the point where each row is on a separate page would be around 8kB*30,000 or 240MB. And if each row causes a seek, and each seek takes 5ms then that should be about 150s per table. Once your table is large enough to take 150s to analyze it shouldn't really take any longer when it grows larger. I'm not sure at what size that would happen but I'm guessing it would be at about 8MB * 30,000 or about 240GB per table plus or minus an order of magnitude. So in short, I guess the time to analyze does increase as the table grows larger. Not because the number of rows being sample grows but because the rows are farther apart and that causes more iops. hmph. One thing that could speed up analyze on raid arrays would be doing prefetching so more than one spindle can be busy. Sacrificing statistical accuracy by reading a less random sample on contiguous blocks of rows would also be faster but less accurate -- we've gone around on that topic at least once in the past. +1 to the idea that pg_upgrade could run analyze with a statistics_target of 10 and then let autovacuum analyze it again later with the normal targets at its leisure. -- greg

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thanks for trusting me to help you today. I am a tax adviser with over 15 years of experience.Do I need to tell the IRS that I received income (Euros) and paid German taxes as a German resident in 2012?Yes, if you are a US citizen then you are taxed on your worldwide income. You of course are allowed credits against that same income that is taxed by another country. That is done by using Form 1116 when you file your US tax return.Most other countries restrict taxation to income derived only from within its territorial borders. Not so in the United States; if you are a U.S. taxpayer, no matter where you are located in the world.
Foreign-source income is considered gross income under § 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (I.R.C.). Foreign-source income is simply added to, and taxed at the same rate as, income derived in the United States.
My goal is to give you excellent service. If you are satisfied, please rate me. If you have follow-up questions on this same topic, use the reply box below. To start a new conversation with me on a new topic request me again.
If you wish you could even use Form 2555 to exclude the income from US taxation but you are required to report the income and then exclude it on the tax return to receive that relief.
But how would the IRS ever know? How is it reported?
If you were audited they could request bank records. And the US and Germany are friendly when it comes to sharing information
You simply report is as wages on Line 7 of your return.
Ok. do I need to do form 1116 and form 2555
No just one. As you paid the tax in Germany then use the 1116 to report that and receive the credit
ok thank you. Do I need any forms from the German Company to complete form 1116
No you would just enter the amounts for 2012 that you were paid and the tax that was paid to Germany.
As you were there in 2013 too you will do the same for 2013
So, how does the IRS check my numbers to verify?
This procedure is covered by our tax treaty with Germany under Double Taxation. If the IRS questions you then you would simply send them copies of your employment documents and German tax
OK. Thank you very much. Very helpful
You are most welcome. Your positive rating is always thanks enough.
will do. Have a nice day!
I really enjoyed working with you – please feel free to request me again when you come back to ask another question.You will find the request feature when you come back under your MY QUESTIONS section.
OK . Bye
Good day

The Akron Aeros look to stop its losing streak at four games Thursday night when they open a four-game series against the Erie SeaWolves ( Detroit Tigers Double-A) 7:05 p.m. at Canal Park.
The four-game losing streak is a season high for the Aeros. And it's Mustache Appreciation Night at the park. Something has to give.
Here are the starting lineups….
Erie SeaWolves (48-56)
1. Jamie Johnson, CF
2. Brandon Douglas, DH
3. Francisco Martinez, 3B
4. Bryan Pounds, 1B
5. Deik Scram, RF
6. Audy Ciriaco, SS
7. Cale Iorg, 2B
8. Justin Henry, LF
9. Bryan Holaday
Starting Pitcher: Left-hander Casey Crosby (6-4, 4.08 ERA)
Akron Aeros (54-51)
1. Jordan Henry, CF
2. Juan Diaz, SS
3. Ben Copeland, DH
4. Matt McBride, 1B
5. Raul Padron, C
6. Kyle Bellows, 3B
7. John Drennen, LF
8. Donnie Webb, RF
9. Karexon Sanchez, 2B
Starting Pitcher: Right-hander Austin Adams (6-8, 3.95 ERA)
NOTES: Crosby was considered the sixth best prospect in the Tiger's system before the season began, according to Baseball America. The main thing holding him back is injuries. He had Tommy John surgery in 2007, missed 2008 and was strong in 2009 at Low A West Michigan (117 strikeouts in 105 innings with a 2.41 ERA). But injuries again limited him to three starts in all of 2010…Crosby is 0-2 with a 7.11 ERA against the Aeros this season….Adams is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA against Erie this year.

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello Bobby,
I have a pitman arm puller that is larger than the others in my drawer, and at times, it even will not do the job. At That point, I remove the steering box and put it on the bench. I use a little head on the arm, and I mean a little, do not let it glow read, and attempt to pull it off. I have good success with that.
I know your not wanting to pull the box, but sometimes, on trucks, most of the time, you have to.

Building Biodiversity Informatics Institutions Course
This course focuses on development and establishment of institutions that focus on biodiversity informatics. As a consequence, we envision participants as individuals who are more advanced, with the potential to participate in creation of such institutions. See, as examples of such institutions, Mexico's CONABIO (http://www.conabio.gob.mx/), Brazil's CRIA (http://www.cria.org.br/), Costa Rica's INBio (http://www.inbio.ac.cr/en/), Colombia's Humboldt Institute (http://www.humboldt.org.co/iavh/), Australia's Atlas of Living Australia (http://www.ala.org.au/), and South Africa's SANBI (http://www.sanbi.org/), all examples of such institutions, albeit very different from one to the next.
For this course, we will have as 'experts' several personalities who have participated in the establishment of such institutions providing commentary and insight into the process, and giving ideas and strategies for establishment of such institutions in other regions and countries. Special focus will be placed on situations particular to developing-world countries.
All researchers, students, technicians, planners, managers, and other interested persons from across Africa are welcome to apply.
Completed applications are due no later than 15 March 2013. Application materials and any questions regarding the application process may be addressed to the course organizers (Town Peterson is the project director) at BiodivTraining AT gmail.com.

Travels with Epicurus
Daniel Klein
Text, $29.99
The Greek island of Hydra has been getting publicity recently for its 1960s visitors, such as Leonard Cohen. American philosopher Klein also played hippie tourist there. Now in old age, he returns with a suitcase of books. He also has a quest for happy old age. His guide is the work of the ancient philosopher Epicurus, generally misunderstood as a hedonist. Klein shows we can make the best of what we have.
Two Pints
Roddy Doyle
Jonathan Cape, $17.95
Two Irish mates meet in a bar, men of a certain age facing an uncertain world. Over their pints they discuss current affairs, the family, football and the world. The talk can get very dark, but also very funny. Doyle has a pitch-perfect ear for idiom, making a few words speak volumes. It runs the gamut from Irish realism to the surreal. Imagine Clarke and Dawe, without the visuals, as two foul-mouthed old Irishmen. For the blokes.
The Black Box
Michael Connelly
Allen & Unwin, $32.99
The 16th Harry Bosch book takes our hero down the mean streets of old LA and back in time. Bosch is assigned a cold case, a woman killed during the Rodney King riots. She was a freelance photojournalist chasing a story that got her killed? Bosch begins to follow the leads. One ingredient in the mix appears to be an Australian case; true crime transforming into fiction. As ever with Connelly, sterling stuff.
BOOK THAT CHANGED ME: Paullina Simons
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Non-fiction that reads like fiction. A perfect book - not a word wasted, not a phrase wrong. The gradual reveal of story details, the development of character, the anatomy of a well-publicised crime that still manages to be shocking and suspenseful. It is seamless, significant and beautiful. Capote knew it was a masterpiece when he finished it. I wish I could spend six years writing one novel. What an impressive time commitment; what an enviable achievement.
Russian-born Paullina Simons lives in the US and is the best-selling author of nine novels and a cookbook. Her latest novel is Children of Liberty (HarperCollins, $29.99).

Ban Urges Strong Message from UN Climate Summit
Date: 19-Sep-07
Country: INTERNATIONAL
Author: Patrick Worsnip
"The science has made it quite clear," Ban told a news
conference. "We have been feeling the impact of global warming
already ... We have resources and we have technologies. The
only (thing) lacking is political will.
"Before it is too late we must take action."
The UN chief said he had been encouraged by the response
to the summit he has called in New York for Sept. 24, with some
80 heads of state and government among 154 speakers listed so
far. The event will precede the annual UN General Assembly
gathering of world leaders.
The New York summit will not be a forum for negotiations,
which will be left to a UN-sponsored meeting of environment
ministers in December in Bali, Indonesia, but Ban said it could
provide crucial impetus.
"What I want to achieve at the end of this particular event
is a strong political message at the leaders' level for the
climate change negotiations in Bali," he said.
Diplomats hope the Bali meeting will agree to start talks
to find a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, the only worldwide
deal on cutting carbon emissions blamed for global warming. The
pact expires in 2012.
"We need to move fast and reach a bold agreement by 2009,
so that it can enter into force by the end of 2012," Ban said.
"We must not leave any vacuum after the expiration of the Kyoto
Ban said he saw no clash between the New York summit and a
gathering of the world's biggest greenhouse-gas emitting
countries that US President George W. Bush has convened in
Washington on Sept. 27-28, just days later.
"I think the main objectives and principles and goals we
are working are all the same," he said. "While we welcome
individual measures and initiatives by any countries, all these
measures and initiatives should should fit into UN efforts.
"I am encouraged that President Bush is also committed to
this UN negotiating process," he said, adding that Bush had
given him this assurance at a Group of Eight summit in June.
Ban also played down disputes between developed and
developing countries over who should bear the brunt of carbon
emission restrictions.
"The main goal and objective at this time is, rather than
debating more on this difference of opinions, the whole
international community must act together," he said.

LA Approves $1.5M In Officer's Racism Suit
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles City Council has signed off on a $1.5 million payment to a black officer who sued the city and police over race-based harassment.
The Los Angeles Times reports Saturday that the city will pay $300,000 in attorney's fees and other expenses to Officer Earl Wright in addition to the $1.2 million a jury awarded him in March.
Wright, a 23-year veteran on the force, said the department didn't take complaints seriously that dated back to 2009, which caused him to be hospitalized and miss seven months of work because of stress and anxiety.
Wright described repeated bigoted incidents that included a racial slur in a text message from a supervisor and an anniversary cake with a slice of watermelon and piece of fried chicken on it.

PBS_NODEFILE is created when torque launches your job. If you intend to override the nodes assigned by the scheduler, job run time would not be the time to do it. What would be the point of using TORQUE? If you really need specific nodes, follow Jerry's advice: -l nodes=n10:ppn=4+n11:ppn=4+n12:ppn=4+n13:ppn=4 in your PBS script will tell torque you need those nodes, and torque will assign them to your job (when they are free). Also, using the standard mpirun that comes with mpich is a bad idea. As Jerry metioned, you should use Pete Wycoff's mpiexec. If you don't follow this advice, you are doomed to a cluster full of rogue processes of mpi jobs that are not properly killed and cleaned up by torque. Also, a nice feature of mpiexec is that it allows torque to collect cputime, etc for the entire job - this is something torque can't do with ssh spawned mpi jobs (which is what mpirun does).

New & Noteworthy
Symposium in remembrance of Jon Widom, 1955 – 2011
February 22, 2012
As many of you know, Jonathan Widom died suddenly last summer. He was a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at Northwestern University. The beauty of Jon's scientific research was more than matched by his surpassing intellectual brilliance and personal warmth, and he is deeply missed by those who knew and loved him. Jon's family and colleagues have organized a symposium celebrating his life and work, which will be held at Northwestern's Evanston campus on March 16, 2012. Information about this gathering, called "Unraveling the Mysteries of Life: Recognizing the Life and Work of Jon Widom", can be found online here. All are welcome. Additionally, tributes to Jon that will be shared at the meeting (and afterward) can be contributed here.
Finally Great Tasting, Low Alcohol Beer
February 17, 2012
Let's face it: low alcohol beer just doesn't taste that great. This is because the alcohol is either diluted or removed chemically after fermentation. Both methods wreak havoc with a beer's flavor.
Dr. John Morrissey of University College Cork is trying to change this. His lab is working to generate a strain of yeast that turns some but not all of its sugar into alcohol. That way the beer process is the same, just with less alcohol at the end.
This is different from stopping fermentation early. In that case there are still sugars in the final product which ruin a beer's taste even more than removing the alcohol! Here the same amount of sugars are used up, it is just that only part of that energy has gone into making the alcohol. Same sugar content, less alcohol.
Although we don't have all the details because of intellectual property issues, what we do know is that he compared the genomes of yeast species that make a lot of alcohol and those that don't. In an email he stated that he focused on genes that would affect carbon metabolism without perturbing redox balance in a significant way. Presumably he then swapped the appropriate genes between strains and created his low alcohol strain.
This is not only a godsend for low alcohol beer, but it may be useful for other fermentation processes as well. For example, maybe something similar can be done for low or no alcohol wines which, apparently, are even less tasty than low alcohol beer. Designated drivers everywhere will be thanking Dr. Morrissey profusely if he can make decent tasting, low alcohol drinks a reality.
And apparently it isn't just designated drivers that want this stuff. Judging by recent upticks in sales of the relatively low quality low alcohol beers currently on the market, there is definitely a market out there for such beverages. A cool science project, decent low alcohol beer and nice profits to boot! Who could ask for more?

Multicellularity a Snap? Maybe so…
February 10, 2012
Some people might think that the transition from single-celled creatures to multi-cellular ones must have been tough. After all, single celled organisms ruled the world for the first one or two billion years of life here on Earth.
And yet, all multi-celled beasts didn't evolve from the same ancestor. Current theories are that multicellularity evolved dozens of times over the ages. In fact, all of the transitional stages of multicellular life can be seen in the volvocine green algae species around today. So maybe it isn't so tricky after all.
Using a very clever screen in yeast, Ratcliff and coworkers have shown that they can get crude multicellular life to evolve in the lab. Basically they only let the yeast that settled easily to the bottom of a shaking flask go on to reproduce. Within 60 or so days, they had the beautiful, snowflake-like, multicellular beasts made up of multiple yeast cells shown in the image to the right.
Of course multicellular is more than having a bunch of cells stuck together. Heck, yeast do that now in something called flocs. No, to be multicellular, these yeast need to reproduce in a way that generates new multicellular yeast and to have specialized cells. The snowflake yeast from this experiment did both.
These yeast did not reproduce by creating sperm and eggs that combine to generate progeny. Instead they reproduced more like a lot of plants do. They produced smaller versions of themselves which then went on to grow to "adulthood." Multicellular life gave birth to more multicellular life.
Cells within these snowflakes were also willing to die for the common good. For example, the cell where the juvenile snowflake was attached would undergo apoptosis so the juvenile could be released. No single-celled organism would willingly take that kind of hit for other cells.
So it looks like these researchers managed to evolve multicellular organisms from single-celled ones in just a few months. Pretty amazing what can be learned from yeast!
Of course some care is needed here. Yeast actually evolved from a multicellular ancestor so some sort of memory of multicellular life may still be lurking in its genes. If true, this might make the transition from one to many simpler in yeast than in other single-celled organisms.
This is why the researchers plan to try similar experiments with single celled organisms that have been single cells throughout their evolutionary life. Then they'll have an even better idea about how easy the "one to many cells" transition is.

Azerbaijan Baku Fires reaches WSB Final for the first time
05 May 2014 [08:15] -
After Cuba Domadores became the first team to qualify for the World Series of Boxing (WSB) Finals, all eyes were turned to the second leg between Azerbaijan Baku Fires and the defending WSB Champions Astana Arlans Kazakhstan.
The first leg took place in Kazakhstan, with the home side winning the night 3-2. The second leg was held at the Olympic Complex in Guba, giving Azerbaijan home advantage.
The Baku Fires had an excellent home record this season prior to the visit of Astana Arlans, and Saturday's 4-1 victory sees the Azeri team through to the final, where they will face the highly-rated Cuba Domadores.
The Flyweights (52kg), Lightweights (60kg), Welterweights (69kg), Light Heavyweights (81kg) and Super Heavyweights (91kg+) contested this match.
Elvin Mamishzada opened the evening for the Baku Fires as he took on Kazakstan's Iliyas Suleimenov in a rematch of their week six contest – in which Azerbaijan's Mamishzada had won by unanimous points' decision.
The result of the rematch was no different this time. Suleimenov started the fight better, and clearly won the first couple of rounds, but Mamishzada grew into the contest, and incorporated better tactics as the fight went on.
Flyweights rely heavily on speed and agility, and often the boxing on show was a blur, as both boxers showcased their quickness. The end result was a very narrow, but deserved win for Mamishzada.
This win in the first fight gave the whole Azeri team confidence for the rest of the evening.
Many WSB fans were expecting a quality Lightweight contest between Albert Selimov representing Azerbaijan, and Samat Bashenov competing for Kazakhstan.
The first round was an intriguing three minutes, which was clearly won by Selimov. Unfortunately for the fans, Bashenov suffered an injury in the second round which caused the fight to be stopped.
As per WSB rules, the winner of the bout was awarded to the boxer who won the first round on the judges' scorecards. Hence Albert Selimov made it 2-0 to Azerbaijan on the night, and gave them the lead 4-3 on aggregate.
Yauheni Ramashkevich was 1-2 in WSB this season going into his contest against Kazakstan's Manat Omerzakov, but belied his record with a hugely impressive victory.
Ramashkevich started the fight strongly, with his left hooks a constant threat throughout the fight. Many were questioning his stamina, but his energy levels proved to be excellent, as he maintained control of the fight round after round.
This was the third fight of the night, and with the Baku Fires winning the first two, Ramashkevich continued the momentum with his unanimous decision victory. Omerzakov spent too much of the fight looking for one big punch, and lost his first WSB match of the season.
With the Baku Fires winning the first three fights, they could have wrapped qualification up in the fourth bout of the evening.
The Light Heavyweights were in action, with the Belarusian Mikhail Dauhaliavets representing Azerbaijan against the Croatian Hrvoje Sep, who walked into the fight with a total of 21 WSB fights in his career, 20 more than Dauhaliavets!
Despite the gulf in WSB experience, Dauhaliavets was impressive, and did win the fight on one of the judges' scorecard.
However, a point deduction in the last round for the Belarusian for his gum shield falling out for the third time, and the constant pressure of Sep saw the Croatian claim the first win of the night for Kazakhstan, and crucially kept them in with a chance of reaching the WSB Finals.
The best match of the night was saved until last, with Azerbaijan's Super Heavyweight Haji Murtuzaliyev facing off against the WSB number two, Croatia's Filip Hrgovic representing Astana Arlans Kazakhstan.
Going into the fight, Azerbaijan had already won three bouts in the evening, with Kazakhstan winning one. Astana Arlans' last hope of reaching the final were therefore on Hrgovic's shoulders, as a victory would enable the Kazakh side to contest a sudden death fight to determine the ultimate winner of the tie.
It was all to play for then, and the fight itself was spectacular. Murtuzaliyev is ranked lower than his opponent, is shorter, and had already lost to him in WSB, but against all the odds he fought his heart out, and never took a backward step in the contest, impressing the judges with his tenacity and accurate shots.
Murtuzaliyev eventually won the fight on points, and Azerbaijan Baku Fires were through to their first ever WSB Finals, having eliminated the defending champions.

50 Years Ago: Birth of the 'Ahearn Fund'
Through the vision of then athletics director Bebe Lee, plus fundraiser extraordinaire Ernie "Mr. K-State" Barrett, the Ahearn Fund was born in 1964 ... one $25 membership at a time.
Now 50 years later, the Ahearn Fund continues to be the foundation of K-State's athletic department ... one $50 membership at a time.
"It allows us to be pro-active in our fundraising efforts," said Senior Associate Athletics Director Chad Weiberg, who heads the Ahearn Fund. "It's because of the incredible support from our members that we don't have to fundraise in reaction to needs that may arise."
As examples, Weiberg said the latest AstroTurf surface at Bill Snyder Family Stadium came from the Ahearn Fund bank account, as did the new restrooms on the east side of the Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
"Because of the Ahern Fund, we don't have to do multiple smaller fund-raising campaigns that could distract from our larger capital fundraising efforts," said Weiberg. "Our energies can be for projects like the Basketball Training Facility and the West Stadium Center."
The primary mission of the Ahearn Fund is to provide dollars for scholarships for the 450-plus student-athletes, which totals approximately $6.5 million per school year. But the extreme growth of the program has today allowed for so much more in giving the Wildcats a world-class student-athlete experience.
Ten years ago the Ahearn Fund raised $8 million with roughly 4,500 members, and five years ago it was $10.5 million.
In 2012-13, total giving from 9,500 members to the Ahearn Fund totaled an all-time high of $36.8 million.
While records are somewhat unclear, Weiberg said, "I would say it has been inside the last 20 years that the Ahearn Fund has been able to provide support to K-State Athletics beyond paying for student-athlete scholarships. But through the efforts of Coach (Bill) Snyder and all of our coaches, our programs are winning, which has everyone feeling good about what we're doing. The Ahearn Fund is a way for our fan base to be a part of the success of K-State Athletics."
Today's membership levels start at the $50 Wildcat Club Level and then graduates to the PowerCat Club at $300, the Royal Purple Club at $500, the Victory Club at $1,000, the Scholarship Club at $2,500, and the Champions Club at $5,000.
The crown jewel of the Ahearn Fund is the National Leadership Circle starting at $10,000 for a Bronze membership, $25,000 for Silver, $50,000 for Gold, and $100,000 for Diamond. There are currently 399 members in the National Leadership Circle, which includes 10 at the Diamond level.
"We have members in 49 states," Weiberg said. "We're still looking for that first member to come from the state of Maine."
Today's Ahearn Fund staff includes: Weiberg, Laird Veatch, Mike Clark, Lon Floyd, Alex Kringen, Nate Warren, Eric Buda, Jen Schulte, Susan Shipman, Chelsey Barnes, Rita Bath, plus graduate assistants Alexis Rodriguez and Andrew Gobel.
That collection of 13 in the fund raising family is greatly different than 50 years ago when it was Ernie Barrett, Ernie Barrett and Ernie Barrett.
"For most K-Staters, if not all, Ernie is still the face of the Kansas State athletic department. Especially in the fund raising area, he is 'Mr. K-State,' " said Weiberg. "Everywhere we go we hear stories about Ernie coming to see them and raising money for certain projects. He didn't have e-mail and voice mail. Ernie got in the car and went out to see people.
"What's most impressive is his efforts were in times that weren't as favorable when it comes to wins and losses," said Weiberg. "That's when relationships become more important, and no one had better relationship with K-Staters than Ernie Barrett."

UPDATE: The Courage Campaign has filed a complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission against attorney Andy Pugno over using state resources to communicate with a Mormon attorney about an anti-gay marriage initiative.
Andy Pugno, the lead attorney defending Proposition 8, once worked for state Sen. William J. "Pete" Knight, the Palmdale Republican who spearheaded California's first successful ballot measure to outlaw gay marriage. On Feb. 26, 1998, Pugno wrote a memo to a Utah lawyer with close ties to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, regarding the initiative Pugno was crafting:

"We urgently need you to review the proposed text and respond to two key questions before the close of business tomorrow," Pugno wrote to Lynn D. Wardle, a law professor at Brigham Young University. "Senator Knight will be re-filing language for a ballot initiative on Monday morning – and plans are laid to definitely qualify the measure for the ballot."
The Mormon church's involvement and financial support in California's gay marriage debate is well documented. But Pugno's newly unearthed memo, written on state government letterhead, is striking evidence of how closely the Mormon church has been involved in the gay marriage debate in California for more than a decade.
At Pugno's urging, a Mormon attorney was vetting the language of Proposition 22 and then quickly passing his information to the highest ranks of the LDS church.
"Is there a better way to draft the text of this initiative, considering California's long history of recognizing any marriage legally contracted elsewhere?" Pugno wrote to Wardle, adding: "Once that language has been submitted, we are stuck with it. Therefore, it is vital that we get it right the first time."
In public, Pugno has staunchly protected the Mormon church and accused its critics of religious bigotry. While defending Proposition 8 in federal court this month, Pugno said he was astonished that a federal judge had allowed evidence showing the church's close ties to supporters of the initiative.
"Today has been a major expression of religious bigotry," Pugno told the Times, after testimony linking the church to anti-gay-marriage efforts in California. "The gloves have clearly come off, and religious voters are in the cross-hairs."
California Watch obtained several memos showing the early activity of the Mormon church in the state's anti-gay-marriage debate. The memo between Pugno and Wardle, and others between the church leadership, are below. Also included is a January 1998 memo from the Capitol Resource Institute asking for Mormon funding to support the marriage ban.
The day after Pugno sent his urgent memo in February 1998, Wardle wrote to three church elders in Salt Lake City, along with two law firms and a law professor in Iowa, alerting them of proposed changes to Proposition 22. The recipients included high-ranking members of the church, Marlin K. Jensen and David E. Sorensen, from the church's Presidency of the Seventy.
"Andy Pugno called me late yesterday afternoon and told me that the people he is working with are going ahead to refile the Initiative Petition," Wardle wrote to the elders. He then outlined Pugno's proposed language changes to the initiative and warned them of the political risks of waiting until 2000 to put the issue before California voters. (The initiative nevertheless passed in 2000, with nearly 54 percent of the vote.)
"One risk of early qualification and long delay is that the political situation is hard to predict that far in advance," Wardle warned the church elders. "Andy (Pugno) believes the benefits outweigh the risks, and he believes that having an initiative qualified might nudge the Legislature into enacting a non-recognized statute to make the initiative unnecessary."
In another memo, Wardle updated the Mormon elders on a "strategic consultation" conference on gay marriage that he attended with Pugno and others in Arizona. He includes news about a Field Poll on gay marriage in yet another memo to the elders.

Even before Pugno asked his advice in vetting Proposition 22, Wardle was already aware that an initiative to ban gay marriage in California was being planned. Signed "faithfully your brother," another memo written from Wardle to church Elder Loren C. Dunn, warned that a change in the marriage statutes might face a court challenge.
"However, it might arguably be possible for a court to interpret the state or federal constitution as invalidating the voter proposal if it passes," Wardle wrote in the July 31, 1997, memo. "I do not think there are good constitutional arguments for invalidating the law, but opponents would certainly challenge it."
Then, using Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints letterhead, Elder Dunn wrote to another church leader, Elder Richard G. Scott, asking approval to fly Wardle to Sacramento so he could testify on a bill banning same-sex marriages. (That legislation failed.)
In the memo, Dunn refers to "Governor Pete Wilson's legislative assistant" as asking for Wardle's testimony, but he more likely was writing about a request from Pugno, Sen. Pete Knight's aide.
As for Pugno using Senate letterhead for a political issue – and asking Wardle to use the government fax machine and phone lines – the law is fairly strict. One regulation does allow for "incidental" campaign use, but Roman Porter, executive director of the state Fair Political Practices Commission, said about cases like this in general: "The use of public funds for campaign purposes is unlawful." (The statute of limitations on any violation from 1998 has likely passed.)
Pugno did not return a message seeking comment, and former Sen. Knight died in 2004. (Update: Pugno works for ProtectMarriage, not the Alliance Defense Fund.)
In an interview with California Watch, attorney Wardle said he doesn't remember the memos from the late 1990s that vetted the language of Proposition 22, but he couldn't speak about his private legal communications if he did. Wardle nevertheless said it wouldn't be surprising for him to be consulted on gay marriage.
"I was writing about it in law review articles. I was speaking about it in legal academic symposia. I testified about it, I believe, twice, before the California Legislature. That was an issue that was on my mind, and I was happy to talk to anyone who would listen."
Last June, Wardle donated $150 to Pugno's campaign for state Assembly.
But Wardle, who has not been called as a witness in the Proposition 8 trial, said he has never been a paid representative of the Mormon church: "I do not speak for the church. I am not a lawyer hired by the church. I am a member of the church, and I understand its values and how they relate to public policy on this issue. I teach at Brigham Young University, so academically, I am connected."
The memo below, to professor Lynn D. Wardle, was written by Andy Pugno, on behalf on California Sen. William J. Knight.
