> Are there any drivers, tools, etc. that can make the memory space on a > cluster look shared, something like pvfs but for memory? I'm sure there sure, lots. this is a semi-sane project that has been the subject of many student projects. fundamentally, it doesn't make that much sense unless you have some pretty much completely sequential, high-locality access patterns. but if you google a bit, you'll find plenty of references to such projects in the 80's. > would be a speed hit, but in this instance, speed isn't the problem as much > as memory. We have a code that uses a huge amount of memory and the memory > usage is proportional to the cube of the problem size, but the time for it > to run isn't too much of an issue. bear in mind that good local memory is O(60ns) but fetching a page over gigabit is going to cost you at least, say, O(80us). are you really up for a factor of 1e3 or more? admittedly, if you invest in real interconnect (say Quadrics), the slowdown factor could drop to as "little" as 100x. > I've been asked to parallelize the code > using mpi which is going to be a major effort. However, I thought that if how about global arrays (see nwchem)? > there was anyway, even if inefficient speed wise, to create a virtual > parallel memory system it would be better than it using swap space and save > a bunch of coding time. swap is vastly under-rated ;) or rather, you should probably consider how well you can do by putting the data onto a really fast raid0 array. a trivial hack of a machine can manage at least ~300 MB/s pretty easily, and with a little effort could probably break 1 GB/s without investing in anything exotic. but again, that approach depends on your access patterns. if you're massively sequential, life is good. if you're sparse and random, well, maybe find a different approach... > Also, are there any tools to help implement mpi in an older code? like what? I see vi most often used to add mpi to really old code... do you have to preserve the illusion of actual memory, or can you factor out all the accesses into put/get? it would be pretty easy to write an MPI program that consisted of one dusty-deck process that uses put/get (and a tiny bit of mapping intelligence) to suck data from a pool of MPI slaves which did nothing but answer memory requests.

Vintage Private Rail Cars
Vintage Rail Cars, refurbished and historic, offer the most unique way to experience train travel in the United States. Representing a variety of periods during the "Golden Age of Rail," Vintage Rail Cars are, for the most part, refurbished train carriages brought to modern standards for convenience expected by today's travelers.

Today, the rail cars, when attached to Amtrak trains, allow private car guests to journey in comfort and style through the most breathtaking scenery accessible by passenger rail service. With westbound, eastbound and coast-to-coast routes and a wide assortment of Vintage Rail Cars, the biggest challenge is choosing which rail trip to take first.

21 Meetup Groups match "Guitar" near Bethesda, MD
Did you take a few lessons and then stop picking up your guitar? Have you been wanting to improve your skills and meet other people who are learning too? This is an experiment to see if there are any other people around Broadlands who'd like to get together, dust off their guitar, and share the chords and riffs they've learned, in a setting where you won't be embarrassed - it's FOR people who don't really know how to play yet. Of course, if you're not a beginning and wouldn't mind getting togeth …
Learning to play acoustic guitar? You don't have to be a pro to make great music... come jam with us! We're a group of beginner/intermediate guitarists getting together to play in the U Street/Columbia Heights/ Dupont area. Music selection is up to the group but varies from simple bluegrass to blues to popular acoustic (think "country roads!"). Percussionists, singers, harmonica, oboe... all unplugged musicians welcome! Meetings will be ad hoc in the winter, but in the summer we're planning a …
If you're a beginner or intermediate player, don't be afraid to get out there and play with us. You may not be on the same skill level, but you will be surprised at how much you can learn from a single jam session. One of the best things you can do for your playing is to get out there and get to know as many other musicians and guitar players as you can. Everybody has their own individual style and you can always learn something new or get a new view on something by jamming with others. You will …
If you're a beginner, a basement rock star, a living room legend or a performing pro, THIS is where you let it shine. Open Mics, backyard jams, shows, private & public events. A place to learn and teach, but most of all, just to have fun with a bunch of (generally) acoustic musicians, singers and friends doing what they love to do!!!
Meetup details are available only to members.
NEWS: WE'RE ON WINTER BREAK. SEE YOU IN 2014!

Created by Daniel Magnolia in February 2011, its become a safe space for amateur musicians who want to get better at performing. New members join our regulars each month and professional performing friends drop by to share their music and expertise by offering adv …

We are a loosely-structured group of folks that enjoy playing guitars and learning from each other. All skill levels are welcome, but if you don't bring a hat, we'll choose one for you based on your personality (as we perceive it). If you're looking for motivation, encouragement, guidance and a great environment to completely embrace the joy of making music for yourself and with/for others, you've come to the right place! We meet in the Wilde Lake area of Columbia, MD on the third Saturday of th …

If you are a music teacher in Arlington, Virginia (or the neighboring areas), then come join us for coffee to share and discuss the good and the bad about teaching music in the Nation's Capital.

All music teachers are welcome: Full time, part time, school, music store, freelance, aspiring, etc.
What is a drum circle? A drum circle is a rhythmical event in which people come together to play drums and other percussion instruments. Drum circles are gaining in popularity here in the United States and all over the world. They are a fun and accessible way to play music in a group setting. There are three types of drum circles: 1) Culturally specific drum circles in which the participants are expected to know and play certain rhythms from different parts of the world. 2) Non-facilitated dr …
This group's purpose is to organize regular acoustic jam sessions in a supportive and friendly environment. This is not an open mic. As I see it, the purpose of an open mic is for an individual to prepare a 15-20 min performance and present it to an audience. In contrast, the purpose of this group is to offer the individual, novice to advanced, an opportunity to play with others in a relaxed group environment. Come and listen, play or sing. There are beginners who have only been playing a few mo …
Friendly get-togethers to play music, sing, drum, and learn. Musicians, singers, professionals, amateurs, beginners, all musical levels and all kinds of instruments welcome. We have informal/casual gatherings where you can enjoy playing music and singing with other members, can meet friendly people, and get inspired by others. Every meeting is a different combination! All musical levels, including beginners, are welcome, so long as you enjoy it! Bring extra instruments if you have them.

So you think you can play. That's cool. How fast can you identify the key? How fast can you jump up or down an octave or mimic the melody? Do you understand C-A-G-E-D theory and how it can improve your improvisation? Can you take the melody / harmony apart? And put it back together again? Do you want to know more about rock, blues and metal music theory (scales, triads, the geometry of the fretboard, improvisation, etc.)? Do you have good materials or techniques to share? Like what you're d …
There are no upcoming Meetups.
This is a group for anyone interested in playing and creating music. The music I hope to play is more soul and funk but that does not exclude classic rock, reggage, and blues. For now I want to jam and continue to get better on my acoustic guitar, but perhaps one day we could do a performance or two.
It's hard to make new friends at our age after we have devoted our lives to children who are grown and to our career. We often stay closer to home these days for a variety of reason. I miss my friends from High School and beyond who have moved all over the country and I don't like to travel alone. I miss the very cool days of the 60's, concerts, road trips and our youth when we threw together a potluck party with all the neighbors who invariably had guitars and sang. What a magic time it was.

Hi i am new to sencha touch2. i called web service as below but it is giving error like expected ':' please tel me what is d pbm. how to fix it.
here is my code:

You have to share the logic: You should use a store with a proxy to call the webservice and only use the view to display the information.
Code:Ext.define("path", { extend: 'Ext.form.Panel', requires: [ 'Ext.data.JsonP' ], xtype: 'companyprofilepage', id: 'companyprofile', config: { scrollable: true, items: [{ xtype: 'list', store: 'weather' }] } });
There's also a great example, which is similar to what you want, in the Kitchen Sink example, Data > JSONP

Your response probably isn't valid JSONP. You can check the response with http://www.jsonplint.com/ but most likely you didn't surround the JSON with the callback function.

Although I have used much more potent stims and preworkout mixes, RPM is an excellent supplement in my arsenal.
What sets RPM apart is the ability to adjust dosages according to my hectic schedule. If I work out in the morning, I can load up on 5 or 6 caps and blaze through my workouts.
If I have a marathon case load at work and can't get to the gym until 7, I can take 2 caps of RPM and sip on a non stim mix or nootropic without interfering with sleep.
Although it's very en vogue to have an "X2" or "Extreme" version of products for marketing bologne, I ask you to kindly LEAVE RPM AS IT IS!!!

However, you're only getting half the home theater experience. Without a robust and dynamic soundtrack, there's no sense of immersion. read more

Here are three of our faculty members teaching in the ND program here at National University. They are just a sampling of the several dozen professors and instructors in basic and clinical sciences that are part of naturopathic medicine instruction in our College of Professional Studies. View Faculty Directory »
"The longer I practice the more interested I am in the idea we have of treating the cause and treating the whole person. National has a very strong committment as an ideal of integrative medicine as practioners working together." |
"The curriculum here is classical naturopathic medicine, getting back to the roots of naturopathy. Many schools have strayed away from that, but here we are very anchored in the philosophy and understanding the full range of possibilities for naturopathic medicine." |
"I have never worked harder than I did in becoming an ND and an acupuncturist, and it was the most worthwhile thing I've ever done. I love what I do. It's worth all the work that it takes." |

Experience audio from your desktop computer like never before with the SND-P8CH sound card from Sabrent. The card has both analog audio outputs for up to 7.1 surround sound systems and an optical 7.1-channel digital S/PDIF output for playback of Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES DVD soundtracks with 24-bit resolution at 96KHz sampling rates. It also supports Dolby Digital Live, which converts any audio signal into a Dolby Digital bitstream for playback through a home-theater system via a single cable.
There's an analog line-in jack for recording from music equipment, CD players and digital audio players directly to your PC. An external input lets you connect a microphone for recording sound or for video conferencing, gaming or Internet phone calls or chat.
Installation is simple and straightforward. Just seat the card in a vacant PCI card slot in your desktop and install the drivers from the included disk and you're ready to connect your speakers and enjoy high-quality audio. Gamers will love the broad support for immersive audio APIs such as EAX, A3D and DirectSound 3D, too.

Pros: Great price for 7.1 audio. The sound on my motherboard went out and I used this as my replacement. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Tricky but fantastic...Pros: Bought this to finally bring 5.1 optical to my home theatre pc/ music collection...Was a bit tricky...Needed some additional software to get the DT and Dolby Digital to playback...But now I can toss the DVD player...Very very very happy... Cons: Was a bit worried with these reviews but you can make this card work for you if you have some knowledge of drivers/codecs and do some digging... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Better than Creative for the pricePros: Easily detected by ALSA in my MythTV box and audio is great. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Default frequency in MythTV was set to 32KHz and audio was terrible - fixed by setting to 48KHz. Oops. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Outstanding FlexibilityPros: Very flexible and easy to configure. Interface for the user is intuitive and to the point. Cons: The optical cable that is included is odd on one end requiring the buyer to still invest in a matched-sided cable to connect to most standard receivers. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great for MythTV HTPCPros: I use this card in a Linux MythTV HTPC. It is easily detected and very little configuration is needed to get the optical output working. All that you have to do is go to alsamixer and turn it on. I use the optical out to my Sony receiver and it sounds amazing. Cons: There is no connector for external sound connectors that most ATX cases have these days. It comes with a weird optical cable that is useless in most home theater setups. Other Thoughts: If you are a hardcore gamer this is probably not what you want. If you are building a mythtv system this is the perfect sound card: easily detectable in alsa, easy to configure, and has optical out to go to your receiver. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
decent cheap cardPros: It's cheap, supports A3D and EAX which make my games run faster. Cons: The driver always forgets the 'mic boost' setting. It ignores when games set the option. The only way to turn it on is to use the Control Panel icon or volume control to turn off the mic boost and then turn it back on. I don't understand why the option isn't on by default on all sound cards. I've never used a mic that didn't need mic boost. Other Thoughts: I'm running version 5.12.01.0046.5.1 of the reference driver from www.cmedia.com.tw. I'm using stereo speakers and a stereo headset. Did you find this review helpful? |
junkPros: Cheap, 7.1 Cons: Music stutters constantly. Updated drivers, uninstall/ reinstall, didn't help. Stuttering does not correlate with use of other devices or CPU/ memory load. Other Thoughts: Thank you to NewEgg for the painless, no hassle RMA. Did you find this review helpful? |
Wonderful soundcard!Pros: Works terrific with Windows XP MCE and Windows Vista RC1! I built a PVR for our home theater and optical output is perfect on 5.1 output. Output through Vista is much more intuitive than Windows XP MCE... actually gives you choice of optical digital or analog output. Pretty cool! Cons: Manufacture's website is not too friendly, but I really didn't need it. Vista installed native drivers as did XP. Other Thoughts: Not sure why review on 6/19 had problems with window update. I didn't have that problem. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: cheep price, optical out Cons: I can only get 2 chanels to work with theoptical out, chinese companie's website not too helpful Did you find this review helpful? |
Absolute piece of junkPros: Ummmm....ok...price! Cons: 6 months old and it just conked out on me! Drivers are a pain to install. Doesn't do it automatically. Other Thoughts: Do not let windows update replace the driver! It kills the sound! 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Oct. 30, 2012 — After disco ruined the live music scene in the late 1970s and all the gigs dried up (hail the DJ!), I took a manager's job at the Broken Bit — a dinner house on Highway 41 in Coarsegold about 40 minutes outside of Fresno.
I didn't know the place was haunted when I hired on, but from almost the first evening I worked there I noticed unusual activity when I would lock the 15,000 square foot building down for the night. Even in the heat of summer, I would feel this incredible cold as I walked through the building toward the last darkened hallway that led past the pantry to the back door.
At first I felt as if someone was watching me. Then I felt as if someone was following me. Some nights it felt as if I was walking through a field of sticky spider webs. Night after night my anxiety increased with each and every step. I shuddered from the cold and trembled with fear walking down that hallway. I just shook and shook and shook as I tried to slip my key into the deadbolt.
One day when I arrived to open the restaurant, a locked exit door was wide open, and the alarm was blaring. It could only have been opened from the inside. I didn't have an answer for that one.
One evening the bartender asked me where the sound of running water was coming from. We searched and searched, and it turned out the shower in the vacant apartment above the bar was running full blast. I went upstairs, unlocked the door and turned it off. I never figured that one out, either. I was the only one in the building with a key.
Curiously, the owners had remodeled that apartment, but spent only one night there, preferring to sleep in their motor home behind the restaurant instead. They firmly denied having any paranormal experiences.
Then one night after we closed and everyone was gone, as I counted the cash drawers I heard the sound of someone walking in the foyer, shaking a drink glass full of ice cubes outside the office. When I rushed to the foyer to check it out, no one was there. This became an almost nightly occurrence, and the ice shaking sound soon morphed to include whispered voices. I could never make out what they were saying. Then a few nights later inexplicable bangs and bumps started reverberating all around the building. Womp! Bam! Ka-pow! Stomp, stomp, stomp!
My final nightly walks through the building just kept getting colder and colder. I know it sounds crazy, but eventually I began to shut the building down by turning on all the lights by the back door so I didn't have to walk down that freezing hallway in the dark again, humming to myself so I couldn't notice the whispering and the strange noises.
By a stupid accident I finally found out what might have been causing these bizarre events. One day as I was handing the groundskeeper her check, I mentioned one of my experiences, and asked, "Can you believe it?" She matter-of-factly said, "Oh, that's Janis."
Turns out the groundskeeper's family once owned the restaurant, and she took the groundskeeper's job to help preserve her grandfather's apple orchard outside the main dining room. She told me this story.
Janis had been a cocktail waitress who lived in the apartment upstairs, and she and the bartender were having a wonderful and very public romantic relationship until the night her beau discovered he was more interested in an attractive young customer.
A distraught Janice left work, jumped in her car, sped down the highway and promptly drove off a cliff to her death. Her haunting of the place began almost immediately.
"I'm not surprised you've met her," the groundskeeper said, folding the check in half and stuffing it in her shirt pocket as she headed for the door. "She hates men."
Well, after that I tried many times to convince Janis she should leave me alone because I meant her no harm, but it didn't do any good. I worked there a few more months, and the intensity of my experiences kept increasing. Frankly, I just didn't want to be alone in that building anymore — even for a paycheck on Friday — so I quit.
Even with all the lights on and me humming away, my nightly walk down that hallway became more than I could endure. Recently I found out some Internet ghost hunters even have called the long-abandoned restaurant one of the most haunted places in the whole country. Whoa.
I know, I know. Some doubting wise cracker is going to say, "Yeah, you quit your job because a ghost was following you? Right."
Hey, you're lucky you're not me, or you'd understand. All I can tell you is beware — you never know what kind of creepy thing-gee could be lurking out there in the dark following you home this Halloween night.

These boots are a deep chocolate color. I recommend a half size smaller than your normal size. I usually wear a size 7 1/2 and I ordered a 7 and they were perfect! My calf measures 14 1/2 but these fit fine even with skinny jean underneath. I love them! Get a lot of compliments.

I have been obsessing over these boots and when they went on sale i decided to finally buy them and i am glad i did. They are beautiful and the color is great (coconut). The leather needs a little breaking in because it is very stiff. They look great with leggings/skinny jeans and even with fun dresses.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kay70 Gorgeous boots, but they are uncomfortable
I think these boots are absolutely gorgeous, but they are uncomfortable. That pretty gold Tory symbol cuts under my ankles and hurts. I've only worn them once so I'm hoping it gets better with more wears. I know some times beauty hurts, but I will be disappointed if this doesn't get better.

Storm land third at Wethersfield
KEWANEE – With a 2-2 record going into Saturday night's final game of the Wally Keller Invitational at Wethersfield High School, the Bureau Valley Storm needed a win to finish the week in third place. The Storm, who lost to Elmwood 77-63 on Friday, used a 19-6 third quarter to erase a two-point halftime deficit and take the 62-54 win over the Putnam County Panthers.
"We had an up-beat halftime, I will say that," BV coach Jason Marquis said. "Our kids persevered. Putnam County is a great basketball team. It's good to come out of this thing with a win. I'm just proud of our kids and the resiliency that they showed in the second half.
"Coming over here is about being better every night. To be blunt with you, we weren't good Friday. We were bad. The good thing was that we got up this morning, got in the gym, knocked down some shots and came in tonight and played our hearts out."

If Greed Were a Twinkie, I'd Eat It
In praise of liquidation and mass layoffs
(Editor's Note: This is the first part of an occasional series in which UTW asks a fictional character to comment on current events. In this installment, John Galt -- hero of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged -- responds to the Hostess bankruptcy.)
am proud of the executives at Hostess for liquidating their company. In the face of opposition from ungrateful moochers, Hostess held firm.
For those of you who are unaware of what's been happening at Hostess, you should have been paying attention. It's not my responsibility to inform you: you should be willing to find out for yourself! Nothing's free, not even information. Those of you who are worthy of my attention -- the creators, the producers, the owners -- already know what's happened. I really don't care about the rest of you.
I'll be the first to admit: I'll miss Twinkies. What red-blooded American wouldn't? Twinkies are a symbol of what human beings can achieve: we can make something with no taste, no texture, and no nutrition -- and sell it to millions.
It's no coincidence that Twinkies physically resemble skyscrapers. Just as skyscrapers climb to the clouds, bringing the future closer, Twinkies bring its own future -- death -- closer with each bite. In both cases, we love every step of the way.
For decades, the golden phallus of the Twinkie has shown that there are no unreachable heights for man. We can create and sell anything.
Now it will be no more. But this is the right thing. Human relationships boil down to contracts. If workers strike because they refuse a contract to do the same job for 8-10 percent less money, executives have only one moral course of action: cash out, destroy the jobs, and blame the union for daring to demand the same wages they currently have.
Who do the workers think they are? They chose to walk away from less money. The only thing the executives could do was to fire them all and give them no money. Suddenly less money is looking pretty good, eh, workers?
It's just like when an adult is playing catch with a kid. If the kid won't do exactly what the adult says, the adult has a moral responsibility to discipline the kid -- by throwing the ball through the neighbor's window and blaming the kid. Maybe next time the child will think twice before complaining when the adult changes the rules mid-game.
These moochers want a handout for their hard day's work, but the executives correctly saw that no one has a right to earn more than his pay rate, even if that pay rate is lower than it was last week.
It's not like their jobs are that difficult to begin with. How hard is it to bake Wonderbread anyway? My mother used to bake bread every morning. She sold it to me $1.75 a slice. And Wonderbread is $1.75 a loaf. If the market value is so low, surely making it can't qualify as skilled labor.
The union takers claim that the wage reduction is unfair because executives gave themselves raises. Don't they know that there are more workers than executives? Do they expect us to triple what everyone makes? That'd be silly!
But even if it weren't silly, it goes back to those contracts that that lie under all human relationships. An executive is a rational human being. If he wants to offer himself a contract to triple his salary, then the salary is tripled. It doesn't matter if executives are all pulled from the same class of people. That just shows how rational they all are. If I want to offer myself a contract to triple what I make, I am perfectly able to accept it. After all, I am a rational economic actor. And so am I.
The Hostess liquidation comes down to collectivism against individualism. The union thinks it can pool the resources of its members so that the sum is greater than its parts. That's a complete falsehood. Everything man does, from the building of a fire to the manufacture of a Twinkie, can be reduced to individual effort. And that effort is that of the company executive.
Sure, the executive may have the support of the stockholders, the bondholders, the customers, the support staff, the computer system, and, yes, even the workers, but the thrust of the work comes from a single executive's pelvis. The executive is like the white stuff inside the Twinkie. And everyone knows that the white stuff is the best part.
So when the union strikes, management has no choice but to strike back -- quite literally. When moochers take to the street to appeal to those weak enough to feel sympathy, executives can show them where true power lies. It's not in the fat hands of those who eat Hostess products, but in virile, masculine hands of those who create wealth!
The liquidation of this company sends a shiver up my leg. When those goons don't have jobs anymore, they'll have two options: get another job or starve to death. Those who can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps will; those who can't will just show that they never deserved a job at Hostess at any wage.
And this is why Hostess made the right decision. A tear came to my eye because I was so happy with executives for going Galt. But of course I still billed them for royalties for using my name.

Briefly: Feb. 1
Brief news items from around the county.
County Board passes resolution backing land exchange
On Jan. 29, the Lake County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution in support of a land exchange that would allow state-owned lands inside the Boundary Waters Canoe and Wilderness Area to be traded for federal land outside of the protected area, where it would generate revenue for the state's school districts.
The resolution stated that Cook, Lake and St. Louis counties would realize an extra $1 million in funding after a land swap, "providing badly needed property tax relief to residents."
The proposed land exchange has been the subject of criticism from environmental groups, many of whom charge that lands previously protected by federal environmental law, will be subject to less stringent protections under state law. The relaxation of protections could pave the way for logging or mining on the land.
The resolution mirrors the one passed by the St. Louis County Board of Commissioners in December. The Lake County Board has been discussing the resolution for weeks. Present for Tuesday's vote were Commissioners Rich Sve, Pete Walsh and Rick Goutermont. Commissioners Brad Jones and Paul Bergman were absent.
Four-day-week meetings planned
The Lake Superior School District switched from a 5-day to a 4-day school week in 2010 in an effort to save money. This year the district must reapply to retain the 4-day week and public meetings are part of that reapplication process. Community members are encouraged to attend the upcoming public meetings.
The meetings all take place at 6:30 p.m.

TXT4Life grant reaches 300-500 individuals a month
TXT4Life, a text messaging-based intervention program for youth and young adults considering suicide that began in August 2011, is having success in Lake County and across the region. The program is focused in Northeastern Minnesota, but the text center has received messages from young adults all over Minnesota and the nation. Text messages sent to TXT4Life are received at the HSI Crisis Connection, a counseling service offering numerous intervention services for those experiencing mental health issues.
According to a release from TXT4Life, 300-500 young adults use the service every month. Trained counselors respond to the texts and over 800 referrals have been made for mental health services or non-mental health services via the service. Officials cite young peoples' comfort with text messaging as part of the program's success, and say many prefer texting over traditional phone calls—making call-based suicide hot lines obsolete for the younger generation.
Individuals can send text "Life" to TEXTME (839863) where they will be "connected with a counselor who will listen, won't judge and will help you get through whatever challenge you are facing," according to the TXT4Life website.
DNR employee discharged
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced that an employee, who was discharged Jan. 11 had been wrongfully accessing driver's license and motor vehicle records during off-duty hours without a job-related reason to do so.
According to a statement from the DNR, the employee, John A. Hunt, administrative manager in the DNR's Enforcement Division had access to the records, but for law enforcement purposes only. A Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigation, however, indicated that Hunt viewed the data of approximately 5,000 people while off-duty and without a job related reason to do so. Among those whose data he accessed were over 200 DNR employees and their family members.
"This employee not only violated the law, but betrayed the trust of the agency, his supervisors, and fellow employees," said DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr. "His behavior does not meet the high standards of integrity that we expect from our law enforcement officers or from all employees."
Hunt was discharged because unauthorized access of the database is a violation of state and federal law, as well as DNR policy and the agency's standards of behavior.
Landwehr said that the agency is conducting a review of DNR employee access to data and
redoubling the training required to access the data.
DNR busts angler with nearly 250 fish more than the legal limit
A conservation officer with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources recently netted an angler with nearly 250 fish more than the legal limit.
Conservation Officer Shane Osborne of Evansville, Minn., approached Ronald Wayne Johnson, 69, of Carlos, as he was about to pull his portable fish house off West Spitzer Lake in Otter Tail County.
"I asked how the fishing was and he said he caught some fish, but it wasn't that great," Osborne said. When asked if he had any fish at home, Johnson said he wasn't sure.
"He then asked if I thought he had too many fish," Osborne said. "I said I wouldn't know that until I counted all of the fish he had. He said I could follow him home and check."
Osborne, accompanied by Conservation Officer Mitch Lawler went to Johnson's home and found a total of 228 sunfish, seven bass and six northern pike more than the legal limit, in an assortment of containers. The restitution value of the fish was $1,560, according to the DNR.
If convicted, Johnson could face the forfeiture of his fishing license for three years, up to $3,000 in fines and one year in jail. He is scheduled to appear in Douglas County Court in February.
Ice road on Lake Vermillion deemed unsafe
On Monday the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office reported that the ice road on Lake Vermillion between Hoodoo and Everett Points is no longer safe due to several days of warmer temperatures. The sheriff's office received two reports of a vehicle being disabled in deep water as the driver attempted to cross the ice. The driver and passengers escaped the vehicle and safely made it to shore, but the public is reminded that caution should always be used as ice conditions are ever changing.

Legal educators love to complain about so-called "law school porn" the postcards, letters and glossy magazines that schools send out each fall touting their achievements in hopes of boosting their U.S. News & World Report rankings. It turns out that all that moaning may be valid. A study of the materials' influence on U.S. News found little correlation between the amount and content of mailings and improved rankings.

BLACKOUT with Linus

The Pool Hall, 30 Irby Ave NW, Atlanta 30305
Come and BLACKOUT with the Linus Foundation at Buckhead's largest April Fool's Day Bash!
When: Friday, April 1st…7:30-11:30pm
Where: The Pool Hall
Why: WINNING. Charity. Free beer. Drink Specials. Glow sticks rock.
…Cost: $10 donation (cash only) gets you complimentary keg beer all night.
Since Linus isn't aware of any themes for April Fool's Day, we've decided to have a good old fashion BLACKOUT party while the acoustic trio of Ryan Hickey, Michael Pearson and Kellan Quinn rock the house.
The goal is to BLACKOUT…by wearing as much black as possible (or whatever definition you would like to assume). Glow sticks and glow bands are highly encouraged and will be provided at the door while supplies last. Strobe lights and lava lamps will consume the venue and sick drink specials (free keg beer and $3 "Linus Bombs") provided all night that will have you saying, "What is this? April Fool's Day!?"
The last Linus event drew over 200 people. Don't be one of the 347,000 people who did not attend.
This is a 21+ event. All proceeds will be donated to the Atlanta Children's Shelter. The Linus Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization, dedicated to providing fun, innovative programs that educate and empower children, encouraging them to reach the full power of their own potential.

Most House Democrats are expected to oppose two House Republican bills on Wednesday that would delay key provisions of Obamacare, the number two House Democrat told reporters Tuesday.
"I think most Democrats will stick together," House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer said when asked about the upcoming votes. He called the Republican bill to delay the employer mandate to provide health care insurance "redundant" because it "doesn't do anything beyond what the president has already done."
Earlier this month the Obama administration announced it would postpone for one year the requirement in the health care law that mandates business with more than 50 employees offer health insurance.
Congressional Republicans pounced on the development as evidence that the law they unanimously opposed in 2010 was deeply flawed and needed to be rolled back. GOP leaders announced the House would vote on that action, plus another bill to postpone the mandate that all individuals carry health insurance or pay a penalty.
House Speaker John Boehner railed against the administration's decision at his weekly press conference when he announced the twin Obamacare votes last week.
"Is it fair for the president to give American businesses an exemption for the health law's mandates without giving the same break to individuals and families across the country? Hell no, it isn't," he said.
Hoyer defended the administration's decision to delay one component and argued the provision affected "a relatively small universe of businesses." But the Democratic vote counter said the mandate on individuals should be preserved, saying any delay "undermines protections to literally millions of people."

Matchstalk cats and dogs…
Sunday, January 15th, 2012Growing up in Glossop, with weird, folk-loving parents, I never had much contact with popular music. So when, one day, my dad once took me upstairs to the stereo there and introduced me to this song via a old scratchy record, it left quite a lasting impression on me.
This is of course Brian and Michael's number one hit, Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs.
And parts of Ancoats where I used to play
Now I live in one of the famous cotton mills in Ancoats that Lowry must have walked past and which probably influenced his paintings, I can't help but be inspired by the "simple man" who once said:
"I am not an artist. I am a man who paints."

The Man of My Dreams
I have dreams of finding Mr. Right. Maybe it will be on here, we get to chatting and the next thing you know it all clicks. He has a profile that is perfect for me....everything I ever wanted, he's great looking, he knows how to spell, he loves God more than anything. Wow this is great, I can't believe it. My whole future is filing before my eyes. The wedding: ah yes, champagne colored gown; maybe a soft sage color with ivory touches. Candles, tons of candles. Will I change my name? Hmmmm so much to dream about--he's so perfect.
Oh, where does he llive again? Maybe we could get a cute little doll house --just something for the two of us. Let's see he lives in ....Australia?????
That's my luck! LOL
Years ago, when I was VERY frustrated in the dating arena, I got to the point that I had a simple set of rules:
* Must have teeth. While they do not need to be real (stuff happens), they must be in your mouth and in good order.
* Must read for pleasure. Chilton manuals do NOT count.
* Must be able to count past ten WITHOUT taking off shoes.
* Must practice personal hygience and wash/bathe daily.
In today's online realm I would need to add:
* Must live in the United States.
It all sounds so silly, but it's true!!! Glad I'm not the only one with 'rules.'
Thanks for the morning giggles,
Anne Marie
I hate to say this, but the scammers are the ones that really get my goat. The ones using military photos. I'm getting pretty good at weeding those out. Syntax, colloquialisms, etc., it's just very discouraging. I come from a long line of military folks. Daddy was a soldier, so the 'man of my dreams' fits that description. I even had one profile that said "If you are out of the US for work, play, family issues, please drop me a line upon your return and we can have coffee." So sad!

Within five years, the gap between tooling capacity and demand from the automotive industry will be nearly $6 billion.
Shifting automaker preferences have left large Tier 1 suppliers like Johnson Controls Inc. (NYSE: JCI) rethinking their business portfolios.
