Although officials would not identify the victim, according to city assessor’s office, the home is owned by Gene Rano, 68.
Mieth and Fire Chief Kevin Breen said no one had a required permit to burn brush.
Breen said the man suffered significant injuries and remains hospitalized.
Open burning is allowed with permits through May 1.
According to the Fire Marshal’s Office, April is the busiest month for brush fires. Burning is typically allowed only when air quality and wind conditions are considered optimal. Each community's fire warden - usually, but not always, the fire chief - determines whether open burning will be allowed daily.
The Fire Marshal’s Office recommends that all burning should be done at least 75 feet away from homes or utility lines. The agency also recommends keeping a fire extinguisher or hose handy and to never leave fires unattended. Fires should not be started with kerosene or gas; rather, they should be ignited using paper or some other kind of kindling.
I began my career with the Fargo Fire Department. I served on that department for 3 years before moving to Duluth, MN. I have 4 years of in the fire service and continually strive to learn and grow within the field.
I recently read the blog post on how to be the new guy from a new guy and it fired me up a bit. While I agree with many of the points on station life I believe this mentality is slowing fire service growth. I’d like to offer a different viewpoint and see how others in the fire service feel.
If you’re part of the crowd for whom money is no object, and you want to experience your entire music catalog as though you’d never heard it before, the AK240 might just be your new drug of choice.
High resolution portable music players have been thrust into the spotlight recently, thanks to the unveiling of Neil Young’s long-planned PonoPlayer and music-downloading ecosystem, PonoMusic. Garnering $1.5 million in only its first day of crowd funding on Kickstarter, the PonoPlayer, which will retail at $400 upon release, has shown there may be broad demand for a device that trades quantity for quality when it comes to music on the go.
If the PonoPlayer is the everyman’s high-definition portable music rig, the choice for the affluent would have to be the Astell & Kern AK240 Dual DAC, from iriver. Trailing a shocking $2,500 price tag, the AK240 is truly a regal machine. For that massive mound of dough, users get access to some awesome features, including an AMOLED touchscreen, support for virtually any digital audio file up to 24-bit 192kHz resolution, digital streaming of your music catalog over Wi-Fi, and a heap of other features and high-end components.
In this review, we’ll dig deep into the AK240 to see what a king’s ransom can secure in today’s blossoming world of high definition audio, and whether the device mounts a valiant enough effort to defend its breathtaking asking price.
There’s no question that unboxing the AK240 is a premium experience. We’re not sure if it’s an experience worthy of a device priced on par with a used car, but it’s a sleek setup. Pulling away the box’s outer shell unveiled a thick box of textured black cardboard beneath. Removing the cover revealed the AK240 sunken into a sumptuous layer of velvet padding, its gun-metal frame gleaming ever so slightly in the light. The device felt satisfyingly heavy as we removed it from its perch, and the sharp-angled profile cut an aesthetic somewhere between an 80’s V-guitar and a Lamborghini Veneno.
Spinning the device around revealed a gorgeous backside, its carbon-body face sparkling brilliantly beneath a translucent cover. The most distinguishable characteristic along the player’s case was a solid dial at the upper right that spins with a satisfying click to change volume at precise increments. The dial is matched on the opposing side by three physical control buttons for song search and play/pause.
Under the top layer of foam inside the box we found two small cartons of accessories, including a USB to mini-USB cable for charging, a spare SD card, a packet of instructions on heavy black construction paper, and a solidly-stitched leather case.
The AK240’s aesthetic experience is one that unfolds over time, slowly revealing its premium traits as you delve more deeply. The carbon face along the back, the OLED touch screen, and the elegant-yet-macho ‘duralumin’ shell all divulge a plush aesthetic. Yet, from afar, this piece can look a little bit odd, almost as if Microsoft’s much-maligned Zune brand crafted a high-end smartphone.
There are a bevy of features to explore with the device, including multiple ways to play that allow it to act as the sound source for your entire home theater system. The ports at the top include a 2.5mm balanced stereo output, and a standard 3.5mm headphone output that also doubles as a SPDIF digital optical port. In addition, the player can be used as a USB DAC for a Mac or PC, and can also stream files wirelessly.
Virtually all of the hardware controls along the body are doubled by touch commands via the AMOLED (active matrix organic light emitting diode) display, but the volume dial stands alone. Spinning the tactile knob displays volume increments with a ripple of digital lines on the screen that expand at half-point intervals from 0-75.
The sharp-angled profile cut an aesthetic somewhere between an 80’s V-guitar and a Lamborghini Veneno.
Touch control for the rest of the features is fairly self-evident for anyone who’s picked up a digital music player, with apparent categories like Album and Artist, and a deeper layer of options revealed by a drop down window that appears with a sweep of the finger from the top of the screen. Controls in the dropdown include touch icons to turn on basic options like Bluetooth, display brightness, and shuffle, as well as deeper features such as EQ and Wi-Fi. Holding many of the icons engages deeper options, such as the 10-band graphic EQ window which can be preset or tailored to your taste, and Wi-Fi setup options for local networks.
Another layer of options can be accessed via the Setting window, which pulls up some added features such as line out or balanced outputs, adjusting stereo balance, or checking for firmware updates.
Unfortunately, the AK240’s Wi-Fi connectivity doesn’t allow for any web browsing or even downloading of tracks directly to the device, though the latter is reportedly on the way. Instead, the feature is designed to allow users to stream digital files via the device’s MQS Server feature, which sends files over a LAN at the full 24 bit 192kHz resolution. An application must be downloaded to your PC or Mac to enable the feature, with support for Windows 7, or Mac OS X Lion 10.7 or above.
The player supports a serious variety of files and resolution levels, including (deep breath): FLAC, WAV (8-192 kHz, 8/16/24 bit), WMA (8-320 kbps), MP3 (8-320 kbps), OGG, APE (Normal, Fast, High), AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DFF, and DSF. It will also play double rate DSD formats at a max 298 Mhz. A new firmware upgrade that recently dropped will also allow for support of DXD files from 8-320 kbps as well.
Of course, all of that means nothing if the music files you’re listening to aren’t transferred into analog audio by supreme digital-to-analog conversion hardware. To accomplish that task, the AK240 employs a two-pack of Cirrus Logic 4398 DACs (one for each channel). The folks at iriver reluctantly dropped the lauded Wolfson 8740 for the AK240 simply because the Cirrus Logic chipset allows for native transferring of DSD files, without first converting it to the PCM (pulse code modulation) format. In theory, that should translate to a much more accurate transfer of the older protocol, which has been making a comeback in the world of hi-res digital audio lately.
Besides the Cirrus Logic chipset, the device is chock full of other high-grade components, as well as providing space for a relatively massive amount of file storage to the tune of 256 GB internally, with an extra 128 GB of available space via the SD card slot.
First, we have to say that the AK240’s interface (and the rest of the lineup we got our hands on at CES) is a night and day improvement over the first hi-res player we saw from iriver, the AK100. At the time, we gave the player something of a pass as it was virtually the only portable player on the market sending hi-res music files through a top-notch DAC. But the interface was buggy and sluggish, and certainly had the feel of a first effort, if not a beta device.
Not so with the AK240 (and thank God, given the price point), which moves briskly through its multiple features with intuitive navigation. We wished for a few minor improvements, like a more easily adjustable EQ window, but otherwise had few complaints. We didn’t spend a whole lot of time using the device as a USB DAC for our computer, as it seemed just as easy to connect to the device directly or wirelessly, but it’s a nice option involving a relatively painless setup.
Also fairly pain free was setting up the AK240’s MQS Server streaming on our office PC to access a music catalog wirelessly. Once you’ve installed the software, it’s quick and easy to setup, and it auto-searches for local files and folders in the computer’s music folder. We didn’t have a whole lot of files for the system to track down, but it did the job quickly.
When we added a new folder to the app, the AK240 missed one of the songs that had uploaded to the application. However, a quick click of the Rebuild Library button fixed the issue, and we were able to play back all of the files at full resolution. It should be noted that the application must be up and running on a computer for the player to stream the files.
Some other minor issues we had with the device during our evaluation included a song dropping out during wireless playback, a rather quick drain and slow charge of the battery, and a tendency for the player to heat up a bit over time, especially when connected to Wi-Fi.
We tested the AK240 using a variety of gear, including a pair of AIAIA TMA-1 Studio headphones, the Beyerdynamic T-70, and a pair of Nocs NS900 Live headphones. But the majority of our time was spent with the Westone W40 in-ear headphones, which offer exceptional clarity via a four balanced-armature driver configuration, and hi-fi portability that goes hand-in-hand with the AK240’s design.
Over several days of listening, the AK240 provided an absolutely incredible playback experience, top to bottom. Name a performance characteristic and the AK240 basically owned it, be it dynamic expression, clarity and dimension, depth and texture, instrumental separation, balance, detail, or distortion, the latter of which was virtually non-existent. In fact, we occasionally found ourselves cranking the volume dial louder than we intended, as the audio remained crystalline at any listening level we could handle.
Not surprisingly, the AK240 excels at high resolution file reproduction. When we called up a 298MHz DSD version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, the instruments were revealed in a dazzling array of colors that was almost overwhelming at first. The device dug so deeply into the textures and richer details of the tracks, every transient seemed supremely magnified, as if we were shrunken down to examine the massive sonic landscape from a tiny vessel, ala Fantastic Voyage.
The experience started with the snare snap and bass grove at the intro of Billy Jean, each sounding like an amalgamation of a host of instruments that had been layered on top of one another. The bass was especially complex, revealing a glossy attack, a grumbling, almost angry buzz to the sustain, followed by an effervescent release. As the piece opened up, each instrument continued to be drawn out in tangible definition, as if telling a larger tale, complete with a full backstory and ancillary characters. It’s not like we didn’t already respect the great Quincy Jones, but hearing his masterpiece at mastering-level quality revealed his genius in a whole new light.
It was perhaps the AK240’s treatment of the more mortal tracks at 16 bit, 44.1kHz resolution that made the strongest case for this kind of device, however. We spent a long time with the included copy of Echoes, a compilation of Pink Floyd tunes, and if there were ever a good argument that CD quality audio can adequately portray the inherent qualities of analog music, we found it here.
Every instrument was vividly detailed in our sessions, but a few really stood out. Woodwinds, especially saxophones, were at the same time airy and satisfyingly gritty, revealing each breath along the reed in ruffled, sandpaper timbres. Hi-hat and crash cymbals were cut with laser precision, yet lofted with a subtle, elegant touch calling up a live performance. And the complex palette of electric guitar tones was seemingly infinite, cutting freshly revealed colors at an all-new level of dimension, from glossy, bubbled solos that echoed across the image, to crunchy, three-dimensional power chords that would be right at home at a Judas Priest show.
Behind those snippets of insight into our evaluation lay a grand barrage of sounds and poignant moments too numerous to count. We will say that we ended up with enough notes about dynamic expression and instrumental texture alone to account for their own segments.
For all the praise we could shower on the AK240 for its astonishing audio performance, we think its best trait might just be its affinity for taking even CD-quality audio files to 11 thanks to those gleaming Cirrus Logic DACs, ostensibly making the lagging availability of hi-res HD tracks a near non-issue.
However, no matter how much we adored each moment spent with the AK240, we can’t defend its price point. Really, no one can. The number of people who will be able to hear the difference between this device and its lower-tier brethren is a lonely populace indeed. And when you consider that the forthcoming PonoPlayer includes a decent DAC, and also that you could ostensibly grab one of those and a pair of the ludicrously expensive/glorious Audeze LCD 3 headphones for the same price as a single AK240, it’s a very tough sell.
That said, if you’re part of the crowd for whom money is no object, and you want to experience your entire music catalog as though you’d never heard it before, the AK240 might just be your new drug of choice.
When Alicia Herron of Georgia called 911 to get emergency medical help for her diabetic fiancé, Jack Lamar Roberson, she did not expect the police to show up. And she certainly did not expect them to shoot Roberson dead as he held his hands up.
While police claim Roberson came toward them "aggressively armed" with a knife, his family -- witnesses to the incident -- deny the police's version of events. Roberson’s mother said the family didn’t own “two decent knives.” Reason.com reported that "His mother and his fiancée both witnessed the shooting, and their 8-year-old daughter was apparently in the home too."
He didn't have nothing in his hands at any time or period at all before they came, any time while they were here, anything. They just came in and shot him. He didn't say nothing, the police didn't say nothing, anything, it was like a silent movie. You couldn't hear anything, all you could hear were the gun shots go off and I seen them going into his body and he just fell down.
The tendency of police to respond to 911 calls seeking medical assistance has in all too many occasions led to shootings. Last year, in a striking example, a mentally ill double-amputee in a wheelchair was shot dead by a Houston Police Department patrolman for waving a shiny pen in the air.
Within a week of D.C. cops shooting dead an unarmed woman in a car on Capitol Hill, her toddler in the passenger seat, these all-too-common incidents of police shootings -- usually carried out with impunity, often involving black victims -- must be recognized as an abysmal pattern in U.S. policing, and far from one-off instances. The officers involved in Roberson's shooting are on paid leave.
ISLAMABAD - The PML-N government has taken massive loans of $28.03 billion from different countries and international institutions during its tenure of around three-and-a-half years (June 2013 to October 2016).
Pakistan took loans from International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), Islamic Development Bank (IDB), and countries like China, United Kingdom. Finance Minister Ishaq Dar presented the details of loans in the National Assembly the other day.
The government informed the lower house of the parliament that net impact of the foreign loans is $9.7 billion. The country's foreign exchange reserves had currently touched the historic level of $23.6 billion wherein State Bank of Pakistan-held reserves are $18.5 billion and that of commercial banks $5.1 billion.
The country has taken $6.2 billion from the IMF since September 2013. Meanwhile, the government had paid back $7.54 billion to the Fund to discharge the liability of the standby agreement, emergency natural disaster assistance and extended credit facility agreed by previous governments. The government had also taken $1.81 billion from commercial banks for budgetary support and balance of payment.
The WB had given loan of $4.6 billion to Pakistan. The country took loans for energy, infrastructure, transport, communications infrastructure, water, health, environment, education, governance, power sector and agriculture. The ADB had released $2.5 billion loans for water, energy, infrastructure, power and social sectors. The IDB had disbursed an amount of $2.9 billion for Pakistan. The Bank had given loan for energy, import of crude oil, social sector, health and educations sectors.
Pakistan had also acquired loan of $2.96 billion from China for energy, infrastructure, transport, defence infrastructure and capacity building, relief and rehabilitations of victims of natural emergencies. In countries, the UK had provided loan of $964.9 million to Islamabad for health, education and social sectors.
France had given $52.89 million, Germany $129.99 million, Japan $470.23 million, Korea $12.84 million, Kuwait $79.65 million, Norway $1.98 million, Oman $9.9 million, Saudi Arabia $134.38 million and United States $403.52 million. Similarly International Fund for Agricultural Development released $24.62 million, OPEC Fund $44.13 million, Dubai Bank $60.2 million, E.C.O.T/Bank $65 million and EU had given $52.11 million to Pakistan.
The PML-N government is continuously issuing bonds for the last three-and-a-half years. It had issued Eurobonds and Sukuk worth over $4.5 billion so far. In the latest development in this regard, Pakistan has successfully issued one billion dollars Sukuk bonds in international market at interest rate of 5.5 percent. The government has floated the bonds to repay the debt borrowed by Pervez Musharraf government in 2007 at 6.75 percent interest rate.
The two major opposition parties including Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaf (PTI) have strongly condemned the government's decision of raising money from auctioning of bonds.
"Sukook Bonds will increase the foreign debt of Pakistan which is already at the disastrous level and Ministry of Finance is not giving the clear picture on foreign debt and not answering who will pay this loan," said Saleem Mandviwalla, a Senator of Pakistan People's Party and former finance minister. He criticized the issuance of $1 billion Sukook bonds in international Market, terming it wrong decision at wrong time. "The federal government has issued Sukook bonds at a time when international market was not favoring Pakistani bonds, investors sentiment was against Pakistan. It was expected that the rates would be high".
PTI has also rejected the government's decision of issuing Sukuk bond. “If as the government claims economy is booming with record reserves why are we taking this billion dollar foreign loan (Sukuk bond)," asked Asad Umar, PTI MNA. He said that government has built the reserves entirely on record loans. He criticized that government needs to have specific assets mortgaged like PTV and Radio Pakistan for issuing Sukuk transactions.
32% of workers have called in sick during the past year when they weren't actually ill.
30% have gone to work despite being sick in order to "save" that sick leave for when they're feeling well.
What Employees Do When "Faking It"
30% of employers say they've checked in on employees who call in sick, to make sure they're telling the truth—and 16% say they've fired staffers for faking it.
An employee's favorite football team lost on Sunday, so he said he needed Monday to recover.
A worker said she couldn't leave the house because someone glued her doors and windows shut.
An employee got lost driving to work and ended up in another state.
A staffer said a swarm of bees was surrounding his vehicle, so he couldn't make it in.
An employee couldn't work because she bit her tongue and was unable to talk.
An employee failed to show up at work because she couldn't decide what to wear.
As a positive and supportive CIO, you want to think the best of your IT staffers. You can see that they give 100 percent while in the office. You know most of them want to succeed and advance. And this is why it's difficult to accept the reality that, on occasion, some of them are faking it when they call in sick. In fact, a surprisingly high percentage of professionals admit to doing just that, according to a recent survey from CareerBuilder. Many employees openly admit that they prefer to use sick days for times when they're well, to the point where they show up at the office while actually ill to "store" the time off. In addition to these and other telling, statistical findings, CareerBuilder presents the following six outrageous excuses that workers have used in taking a sick day—if just to allow for some chuckles and head shaking among those who think they've heard it all. Nearly 3,485 workers and 2,100 hiring managers and HR professionals participated in the research. For more about the survey, click here.
Yes they're the same person, but WOW are their lives different.
In all the Marvel movies, no one character has changed as much and as radically as poor Bucky Barnes, AKA the Winter Soldier. Even when Steve Rogers became the super-powered Captain America and got stranded in time for 70 years, he still carried on his trademark sense of duty and optimism. With Bucky it was all brainwashing and killing, all the time, and that sure can wear on a guy.
Despite his new and probably extremely painful outlook on life, the Winter Soldier still remains a remarkably relatable character -- though in a much different way than he was way back in "The First Avenger." But which version do YOU relate to? The pragmatic buddy or the tragic super assassin?
In honor of actor Sebastian Stan's birthday today (August 13), we're going to help you figure that out. Note, we are not responsible for any therapy bills you may incur on the off-chance that you can't deal with all of your Bucky feels. We've got enough on our plate trying to get our own together in time for "Civil War." SOB.
The Pew Research Center and the Washington Post teamed up to find out how America feels about the current (possible) candidates for the Republican party’s 2012 bid. The top response was unimpressive, perhaps because it was the most polite way to say many of the other words on the list.
The researchers assigned all the responses to either positive (12%), negative (44%) or neutral (19%) categories, and those who gave no answer made up 25%. When broken down by party, both Republicans and Democrats still gave more negative than positive responses, though Democrats, of course, came up with the bulk of unflattering words.
Marv Albert on Return to NFL: "It Came From Nowhere"
Marv Albert is returning to the NFL’s television booth this season, a fact that’s even a little surprising to him.
Speaking at CBS’ annual NFL media day Tuesday in New York, Albert said that “it kind of came from nowhere,” on being back on the gridiron. That doesn’t mean, however, that he is not excited for the new opportunity. “The packed houses and the huge TV ratings, its fun,” said Albert.
The idea came up, according to Albert, after the landmark TV deal between the NCAA, CBS and Turner that saw coverage of the Men’s Basketball Championship split up between the networks for the first time (CBS had held exclusive rights since 1991).
As part of the deal, Albert (who calls NBA games for TNT) worked games for the tournament, and CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus wanted to make him part of his network’s NFL team. “After the first weekend of games, I got a call saying [he] wanted to talk to me,” said Albert, who will still serve as TNT’s main play-by-play announcer for the NBA on Thursday nights, should this season be played.
Albert effectively replaces Gus Johnson, who left for Fox in May. He will team with former Oakland Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon. “I just met him a couple of days ago, and we bonded,” said Albert.
This marks the first time Albert will call football games for TV since 1997 for NBC (when it had coverage of the AFC, which CBS took over in 1998), although he had been calling NFL for Westwood One Radio from 2002-2009.
The rest of CBS’ NFL broadcasting team remains status quo, as once again Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will partner up as the network’s #1 team. The rest of the teams in descending order are: Greg Gumbel/Dan Dierdorf; Ian Eagle/Dan Fouts; Kevin Harlan/Solomon Wilcots; Bill Macatee/Steve Tasker; Spero Dedes/Steve Beurlein; and Don Criqui/Randy Cross (the Albert/Gannon duo is listed as the #4 announcing team).
James Brown will return as host for The NFL Today, the network’s pre- and post-game studio show. Dan Marino, Bill Cowher, Boomer Esiason and Shannon Sharpe will all return as analysts.
Last week I got to visit Las Vegas with the Armed Forces Foundation to celebrate wounded warriors over Armed Forces Day. What I didn't expect to find was life inspiration.
Let's be clear here, when I was first invited to come to Las Vegas for the Salute our Troops event at The Palazzo I was TERRIFIED ... excited too, but mostly terrified. Airfare from Southwest Airlines, an amazing hotel, LAS VEGAS, its a lot, but the part the scared me most was being able to tell the story in a way that brings honor to the men and women in attendance. I am just me, I have not done a lot of official coverage of events, or officially interviewed anyone, I have a ton of stuff going on at home with my husband, I prior to this didn't have a lot of background knowledge on The Armed Forces Founda,tion, AND it's my first time in Vegas.
Overwhelming, right? But, as I have come to find, I think that gives me an advantage. There is no lack of story here, these men and women are PHENOMENAL human beings, and as humble as they come. I can't lie to you and tell you this has been a hard job, but what I can say is this: being here among these Wounded Warriors, and their guests has really encouraged me to take a step back again and reflect on what TRULY matters, and using the hand you have been dealt, both literally and figuratively, to it's fullest capability.
Wednesday after the welcome ceremony for the trip died down, I needed to gather my thoughts and figure out how I was going to approach this assignment. What better way to do that than spending some time in a private pool on The Palazzo's pool deck, sounds like a dream right?
Before I even sat down I was drawn to a young man relaxing on the steps of the pool. My guess was he wasn't older than 25 -- a cold drink in one hand, a cigar in the other and not a single care in the world. The more we talked the more intrigued I became by him. A spokesperson for Building Homes For Heroes, Army Cpl. Christopher Levi and I had an instant connection -- a heart for helping our nation's Heroes.
When he finished his drink, he politely excused himself from our conversation and took a swim all the way across the pool where he climbed another set of stairs, and maneuvered his way to the edge. He stood there for a minute in a moment of reflection more than anything else.
That moment, that split second in time, seemed like an eternity to me. Because when pulled him self up the steps and made his way on to the pool deck I couldn't help but shed a few tears. It was in that moment that I realized that this young man was a double leg amputee.
That was a lot to take in for me. He didn't mention his injury in our conversation, and, to be completely honest, I didn't look for one either. His eyes and his smile told me everything I needed to know and everything else, well, it didn't really matter.
(Side note: the pool deck was so hot that, as Bruce Simon the CEO of Omaha Steaks told us last night, we could have grilled the amazing meal they provided us all right there on the pool deck, and you know what that DID NOT phase Cpl. Levi).
This last picture was Cpl. Levi telling me that THIS moment, the very moment I just had the absolute and total honor of witnessing, was his VERY FIRST time swimming in a pool with no legs.
I guess there really is a first time for everything. Cpl. Levi will have tons more firsts in his life, and so will I, but in the grand scheme of things my firsts are trivial in comparison.

Hate speech will hopefully soon have a shelf life of 24 hours or less in the European Union.
The European Commission reached agreement on a code of conduct to address issues of online hate speech within 24 hours with Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube and Microsoft, Reuters reported.
The Internet giants agreed to review the majority of requests for the removal of hate speech within 24 hours, according to Reuters, and to remove or disable access to that content, if needed.
According to Reuters, the five companies also agreed to strengthen their cooperation with civil society organizations that help flag such content, and to promote “counter-narratives” to hate speech.
There’s no place for hate speech on Facebook. With a global community of 1.6 billion people, we work hard to balance giving people the power to express themselves whilst ensuring we provide a respectful environment.
