Atheism is the acceptance that there is no credible scientific or factually reliable evidence for the existence of a god, gods or the supernatural.
Religious Freedom Review Panel Submission
Religious Freedom Review, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet Parliament House, Canberra.
Submission: Copies to all members of the Review Panel and PMC Secretariat:
To whom it may concern,
The Australian Law Reform Commission interim report 127 has previously made the finding that there is no restriction on religious freedom, defining it as:
"Freedom of religion is infringed when a law prevents individuals from practising their religion or requires them to engage in conduct which is prohibited by their religion. Alternatively, the freedom will also be infringed when a law mandates a particular religious practice." (4.38, p.104).
It is therefore of concern to us that there appears to be an effort by legislation to grant special exemptions to religious groups from laws that apply to all other members of the community.
Therefore, the Atheist Foundation of Australia argues that such calls should be rejected, and existing exemptions be removed, particularly if they contravene United Nations Human Rights.
A review of the ALRC report makes it clear that there is no sound argument to increase the level of protections offered to religions in Australia, and in fact good grounds for removing some existing exemptions from anti discrimination laws.
Calls for religious believers to be allowed to express their religious beliefs by refusing to supply goods and services to certain members of the public should be rejected out of hand and revealed in their true light as discriminatory behavior. For example, a focus of these calls recently has been on bakers of cakes for same-sex weddings. There is no credible basis to support a claim that discrimination against same-sex marriage should be allowed, and no logical difference between this and allowing a religious baker to refuse to serve a Muslim, a Jewish person or a dark skinned woman, an adulterer or a disobedient child – all of whom fit into categories of persons excoriated in the bible or by religious tradition.

Our firm advises individuals and businesses on legal matters affecting their financial interests. Our advice ranges from advising on and documenting banking and business transactions to representing clients in litigation in state and federal courts, including trials and appeals. Our experience enables us to advise you in a timely, efficient manner.
We need an invitation for a client event. It will also be used as a shell for other events in the future (a lawyer's event). This will be seen by current law firm clients as well as outside lawyers and colleagues that we know and work with.
This should not be the typical "legal" invite (boring). I want it to be inviting and make you want to attend. Attached is an example of an invitation from another law firm. This is a good example of how it should be feminine but not girly. I also included some other graphics that I like. These should not be the graphics used but give a good frame of reference. It is alright if it has an Asian accent but should not be overwhelmingly Asian. I would prefer if it is just clean and modern vs. Asian but that is a difficult balance with graphics.
I also included my standard thank you cards to give you an idea of the current branded items (very plain). Please don't copy these or use them as a starting point they should tie to these by color but not the same style. Also, the only requirement of the card is the dimensions. It should be able to fit in the current thank you envelope so the final card size should be 5.5 inches tall and 4 3/16 inches wide.
For verbiage this is an invitation for a client appreciation event. Feel free to be creative. (I can always update the verbiage at a later time.) You can use the Miller Nash example to give sample stock to use in the design. The logo is also included as it should be visible on the invitation.

One of the big questions preceding the Supreme Court's decision in the Aereo case earlier this week was whether a holding against Aereo would put cloud services into such a legally precarious position that the innovation and investment climate would chill. While the decision clearly makes Aereo's use of its technology illegal, one should not be too quick to foretell a drastic impact on all hosted services. Here are some reasons why.
What cloud?
Let's be clear about what we mean by "the cloud" in this context. Aereo's technical model – which the court found to infringe copyright – captured over-the-air television content using one tiny antenna per customer, transcoded that content into one copy per customer, which Aereo stored and then streamed on-demand to the customer. The court found that model bore an "overwhelming likeness to the cable companies targeted by the [1976 Copyright Act]" to an extent that Aereo was "for all practical purposes a traditional cable system." Aereo's technological attempts such as the one-copy-per-customer method that it used to distinguish itself from traditional cable services were immaterial to the court. Aereo looked like a cable company, so the court treated it as one, with all the copyright consequences that go along with that status.
Aereo was a cloud service inasmuch as it stored the TV content and served it to its users when those users initiated the performances. It was the cable-like functions that got it into trouble, not necessarily the cloud-provider functions. That arguably leaves the rest of what we consider cloud services – online collaboration tools, centralized communications systems, most hosted applications, and the like – outside the scope of the court's decision. Most software-as-a-service models, whether to the consumer or at the enterprise level, are unlike cable systems and thus likely stand clear of the sweep of the Aereo sickle.
The technology could live on.
One must also be sure to recognize that the court's decision did not kill the technology altogether, but instead killed the use of the technology in the hands of one who does not have ownership or license to the content being delivered. Since the court found that Aereo's service was "substantially similar" to cable systems, Aereo, its successors, or other players in the space could look to monetize the technology while paying the compulsory licenses that Section 111 of the Copyright Act spells out in dizzying complexity. Or the broadcasters and other content stakeholders could acquire Aereo-like technology and use it to supplement the other means of content delivery currently at play. In either scenario, the needs for investment and innovation in providing infrastructure (as well as the need for clarity on network neutrality) remain firmly intact.
The real likely effect.
This is not to say that Aereo will have no effect on development of technology in areas outside the particular facts of the case. The court's decision expands the class of online intermediaries who may be liable for direct copyright infringement. In that respect, the case differs from other important technology-provider copyright cases like the Betamax case, Grokster and the Cablevision case. In those cases, the main question before the courts was whether the providers were secondarily liable for the infringement committed by their users. In Aereo, however, the question was whether Aereo itself was liable for infringement committed by providing the technology to others. The Supreme Court held that Aereo was a direct infringer because its functionality so closely resembled a cable company.
So the court has given copyright plaintiffs some new, additional angles to consider when pursuing infringement litigation against technology providers. Does the technology so resemble the technical model of a cable delivery system, particularly from the perspective of the end user, such that it de facto publicly performs the works delivered by the system? If so, then the Aereo test forbids it. Moreover, the case fuzzies the relatively bright line that began to be drawn almost 20 years ago with Religious Technology Center v. Netcom, requiring that for an internet intermediary to be liable for direct infringement, it need undertake some volitional conduct in furtherance of the infringement. That fuzziness will no doubt embolden some plaintiffs who otherwise would not have seen the potential for a cause of action against future defendant-innovators.
In reality, few platforms are likely to actually get "Aereoed" in litigation. The ones at greatest risk will be those that facilitate access to streaming content provided by others. But the fact that ultimate liability may not lie against a provider will likely do little to stop aggressive copyright plaintiffs from trying out the theory against all forms of remote storage providers. That's the problem Justice Scalia identified in his dissent when he said the decision "will sow confusion for years to come." Let's hope that's mostly an overstatement.

Is Your Crib Mattress Phthalates Free? Why You Need to Find Out.
Is Your Crib Mattress Phthalates Free? Why You Need to Find Out.
As of February 10, 2009, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) banned the manufacture of child care articles and toys containing phthalates (pronounced "thalates"). Phthalates are plasticizer chemicals commonly used in crib mattresses and mattress pads: they soften PVC/vinyl to make it pliable so it can be used as a waterproof surface.
They're also used in many kids' toys.
Although we've never used phthalates in Naturepedic crib mattresses, they have been used for decades by just about every other crib mattress manufacturer out there.
So why the big hullabaloo over chemicals that have been used in baby and child products for decades? Because we now know (have for many years, actually) that phthalates leach out of vinyl over time where they can reach your baby or child. And that is dangerous with a capital D.
Research has linked phthalates to hormonal and endocrine system problems, especially in boys. In 1997, a study published in the International Journal of Cancer found a high risk of testicular cancer associated with exposure to PVC products.
Other research has also linked phthalates to other types of cancer, and to liver problems.
Numerous U.S. government agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The U.S. Department of Health, the FDA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission have issued public safety statements concerning the use of phthalates.
Also, a study done by The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) concluded that phthalates are animal carcinogens and can cause fetal death, malformations and problems with the endocrine system. The AAP went on to say that the risk to children was even greater because their bodies and organ systems are still developing.
Phthalates have been banned in some European countries for 10 years – finally, the U.S. is catching up.
Read more about phthalates and the phthalates ban on our site.
Phthalates, by the way, are not just in crib mattresses. They can also be found in perfumes and fragrances, cosmetics, scented lotions, shampoos, aftershaves, nail polish, hair spray, toys, car interiors, medical devices like blood IV bags and tubing, vinyl flooring, vinyl wallpaper, and vinyl shower curtains - to name just a few of the most common types of products.
What can you do about? Get educated, get rid of crib mattresses and toys containing phthalates and, in general, get phthalates out of your life. An ounce of prevention ….

Module A-22
Dry Dispersion Unit
Dry dispersion is especially suited for not too fine, free-flowing materials, which react in water or other liquids. The sample material is transported with a vibratory feeder through the intake funnel into the dry measuring cell, where it falls directly into a Venturi nozzle operating with an adjustable flow of compressed air. Upon passing through the nozzle, agglomerates are broken up and the measurement of the particle size dispersion in the laser beam takes place directly behind it. For dry dispersion the required sample volume is 1 – 100 cm3, which is larger compared to wet dispersion; however it is also easier to obtain a representative analysis.
With a high-frequency feeder the sample material is continuously transported over the funnel-shaped opening of the dry measuring cell and then drops in the actual dispersion area. In an annular gap Venturi nozzle the powder is accelerated and passes with a high speed through the nozzle channel and the measurement of the particle size distribution in the laser beam takes place directly behind it. Then it passes a zone with aerodynamic wave generation at the nozzle outlet. The by the high turbulent current caused strong shearing forces, as well as blows between the particles lead to the breakdown of the agglomerates. No impact areas in the flight path of the particles exist in order to prevent soft sample materials from being ground during the dispersion process.
Compared with the wet dispersion is the dry dispersion not as efficient due to chemically-physical as well as rheological material properties of the sample material.
One of the main differences between dry and wet dispersion is based on the fact, that it is almost a solely mechanical dispersion in an air flow. Thereby, with a dry dispersion, a sensible measurable particle size and the associated complete primary particle dispersion is typically at approximately 1 - 10 µm. Depending on the material and its properties, below this range an incomplete dispersion can be expected. The utilization of the dry dispersion makes sense in areas where a wet dispersion in water or solvents has to be ruled out.
The dispersion pressure is set with the assistance of SOP's with the software MaS control and then is carried out automatically. Measurement processes can therefore be freely programmed and the entire measurement takes place completely automatic.
An electronically controlled high-frequency feeder ensures automatic continuous feeding of powdery samples without residues when using the dry dispersion unit.
FRITSCH-Plus: A vibrating funnel, which is simply pushed onto the feeder, ensures uniform and homogeneous feeding of the sample.
FRITSCH-patent: Easy-to-change channel inserts with funnel, which are pushed onto the feeder for defined layer heights between 1.5 and 4.5 mm. Your advantage: more easily controlled feeding even of critical samples.
For the operation of the dry dispersion unit, an oil-, water- and particle-free supply of compressed air with a pressure of at least 5 bar and an air volume of at least 125 l/min is required. An external exhaust system is necessary to vacuum the sample material and can be ordered as a FRITSCH accessory together with the instrument.
The integrated exhaust system of the dry dispersion unit ensures automatic sample exhaust during the measurement. When the measurement is completed it can also be easily used to manually clean the feeder. An external exhaust system is necessary to vacuum the sample material and can be ordered as a FRITSCH accessory together with the instrument.
In order to use the FRITSCH Dry Dispersion Unit you will need the ANALYSETTE 22 NanoTec Measuring Unit (Order No. 22.8000.00) and an exhaust system.

I recently read the model-theoretic proof of the Nullstellensatz using quantifier elimination (see www.msri.org/publications/books/Book39/files/marker.pdf). I'm convinced that the Nullstellensatz is true, i.e. by showing that $\exists y_1 \cdots \exists y_n (\bigwedge_{i} (f_i(y) = 0)$ is equivalent to a quantifier free formula, hence if it is true in an algebraically closed extension, it is true in the original algebraically closed field. However, I don't have any intuition for how this formal sequence of steps leads to the truth of the Nullstellensatz. In particular, what I don't see is what the quantifier-free formulas are that these are equivalent to. For example, what is a quantifier-free formula in $a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l$ which is equivalent to the system $ax^2+bxy+cy^2+dx+ey+f=gx^2+hxy+iy^2+jx+ky+l=0$ having a non-trivial solution? And generalizations?
Can one simplify the model-theoretic proof by showing more directly that the existence of solutions to systems of equations (or non-equations) in algebraically closed fields are equivalent to polynomial conditions on the coefficients? I.e. apply essentially the same argument but restrict to the case of algebraically closed fields and avoid general results like Godel's Completeness Theorem to make the argument more clear. My expectation is that this might involve proving an algorithm for determining the quantifier-free formula from the formula with quantifiers.

Institute for Global Enterprise Presents First-Ever Innovation Week; Accuride Sponsors Student Design Challenge
Posted: Friday, September 13, 2013
A keynote address from innovation strategist John Kao, a student design competition, and a $1,000 prize are just a few highlights of the first Innovation Week, September 16-20, presented by the University of Evansville's Institute for Global Enterprise.
"Given today's intense interconnectedness, rapid pace of change, and growing complexity of global challenges, innovation is essential for progress and success for our future graduates and our civic, public, and private sectors," said Katie Ciccarelli, executive director of the Institute for Global Enterprise. "We hope that Innovation Week inspires our students and community members to make an impact by developing global and entrepreneurial mindsets."
Innovation Week features two free, public lectures:
• Institute Speaker Series presents John Kao, 7 p.m. Tuesday, September 17 at the Victory Theatre in downtown Evansville. Dubbed "Mr. Creativity" by The Economist, Kao is an innovation strategist and the author of Jamming: The Art and Discipline of Business Creativity and Innovation Nation: How America is Losing Its Innovation Edge, Why It Matters, and What We Can Do to Get It Back.
• Social innovator Tyler White, noon Friday, September 20 in Eykamp Hall (Room 251), Ridgway University Center. White, a UE senior, will discuss how he became a social innovator at age 19. White is the founder of Fields of Dreams Uganda, an organization that provides hope for the orphaned and vulnerable children of Uganda through soccer and education.
In addition, cross-disciplinary student teams of three to six students will compete in the Innovation Week Design Challenge. Teams are tasked with developing a conceptual design according to a challenge from the corporate sponsor, Evansville-based Accuride Corporation: to develop a lightweight aluminum wheel for the commercial vehicle industry that meets numerous technical requirements.
Throughout the week, students will work closely with UE faculty advisors, learn to use a 3-D printer, hear from guest speakers, gain insight from a midweek feedback session with Accuride, and build a proof-of-concept model.
On Friday, September 20, student teams will give brief presentations and submit their proof-of-concept models to a panel of judges consisting of Accuride personnel and UE faculty and staff. The winning team will receive a $1,000 cash prize provided and presented by Accuride during a reception that evening.
"Accuride welcomed the opportunity to support the University's Innovation Week Design Challenge for its ability to spark the imagination and team-based collaboration of the next generation of college students," said Craig Kessler, Vice President of Engineering. "The scholarship we will provide the winning team is another demonstration of the commitment Accuride has to the Evansville community and its respect for the quality of students attending the University of Evansville."
The Innovation Week Design Challenge is supported by the Institute for Global Enterprise and the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network. The Institute for Global Enterprise is funded by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc.
Members of the media are welcome to cover all Innovation Week events. For a full schedule, please visit the Institute for Global Enterprise website.

Officially it's known as the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA), but us humans call it the Frankfurt Auto Show. Held every two years in this banking city (including the European Central Bank), there's plenty of pricey eye candy at this year's event. Joining the three aforementioned brands are automakers such as Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Fisker, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes Benz and Peugeot. On the more humble side of things, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Mazda, Subaru and Volkswagen are also showcasing new and future products. The best part of all this? Nearly every car making its global debut at the Frankfurt show will make its North American debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, which runs Nov. 18-27. So read on for some of the highlights from this year's Frankfurt event and start picking your favorites for L.A. --David Undercoffler / @LATimes_Driven March 18, 20149:36 PM Facebook Twitter Show more sharing options Share Close extra sharing options Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Copy Link URLCopied!

I am taking you forward by 30 years. The date is
Putting an end to the recent spate of allegations, Juanita Gandhi has offered her resignation from the post of MP from Rae Bareilly. This de facto leader of the nation has in the recent past already 'sacrificed' the post for PM and refused to become the leader of Congress Party resulting in massive popularity for her in this nation. Now, in response to new allegations regarding undisclosed assets in
There are many parallels to story of Sonia and Juanita. Rahul and Juanita met in Harvard while studying and got married in 2005 in a very closely guarded wedding ceremony held in
Her refusal to take up the role of PM is very similar to the first few sacrifices made by Sonia thirty years ago and it looks like Juanita has understood the pulse of Indian people much like her mother-in-law. She has refused to give any interviews and spoke from well-rehearsed and written speeches. She took on a low profile while promoting Arman for different cadre positions. She cited 'her inner voice' as explanation to many questions without ever having to be accountable or responsible for any decision or action of hers. This seems to have worked well for her mother-in-law and now it is working for Juanita Gandhi as well.
The present controversy, which alleges that Juanita has funneled funds into her native country, that she led a lavish life style where she owned palaces and estates, drove Ferraris and expensive cars, that she has one of the biggest jewelry collections in the world was swept aside by the power of 'sacrifice'. Yesterday, she burst out in tears on TV while announcing her resignation of MP position saying that she was 'hurt deeply by these accusations' especially when she is still mourning her dead husband. She said that she was 'deeply anguished' by the 'false allegations' and that the only thing she could do was resign. When asked why she has resigned instead of facing the charges to clear her name using legal methods, she said that she has 'listened to her inner voice' and that she 'cannot stoop to the level of the those who are giving bad name to Gandhi family'. She added that she 'would continue fighting for her family and for her nation'. Many analysts feel that she would contest when the allegations are swept under the carpet.
To those who were present during the Sonia Gandhi's ascendancy to the power 25 years when she nominated her son to the post of PM, this comes as complete playback. It looks like Juanita has mastered the art of seducing Indians just the way her mother-in-law has done using the power of 'sacrifice'. Arman Gandhi is just waiting on the sidelines to get into the arena that her mom prepared.

On a Saturday afternoon, I called every place in the area and none were as friendly, nor as helpful as Jay Shapiro. I went to multiple locations in the Upper East side who simply told me what I was asking could not be done. Jay was very personable, I gave him a call on 1/25/2020 and he was polite, knowledgeable, and professional. I explained what I needed done to my laptop, and although he wasn't available (he was with his family) he got a hold of someone who was nearby and let me know that they would take care of me. After I met with the recommended technician, Jay gave me a call and checked in on me to make sure I was all set. I highly recommend this place.

I was recently hacked and locked out of my home personal computer. I found Jay Shapiro Computers online and called him immediately.

After meeting Jay face-to-face, I felt a calm come over me. Within a couple of days he was able to rid my computer of any bugs, viruses, etc. and reloaded my very important documents, etc. He even uploaded a Malware program to further guard against the monsters.

My husband and I have been very satisfied with the services provided by Jay Shapiro and his technicians. Jay is always very responsive to our issues and we can count on him to solve the problems in a timely, competent, caring way. We are not computer experts so his help has been invaluable.
Can't praise these guys enough. Top notch customer service. Computer broke, needed it fixed fast. Guy came and met me near my job, process took longer than expected so he took it home with him and brought it to my job the next day. Despite it taking longer, he still gave me the price he originally quoted. Cant recommend higher
Jay helped me fix my computer and cleaned up years of viruses. I would recommend his services.
I was impressed with Jay's knowledge for trouble shooting. My drivers had crashed and Jay solved the problem. He also returned calls on time. My problem required time and patience. At one point, I thought Jay was gonna give up. Because my lap top needed Windows Vista, someone else probably would have told me to just invest in another computer. Also, it's been 3 weeks and I haven't called Jay back to complain about anything. I am satisfied with his work performance and would recommend him to friends and family. Thank You Again, Ayan Layo
Jay Shapiro's service for my ailing computer was fast, efficient and dependable. I will call him when I next get into trouble.
Great service
My laptop was running very slow. Looked up computer support on HomeAdvisor.com and Jay's business came up. He picked up my computer, took for a few days and worked on it. He cleaned up the computer so that it works a little faster. However, my laptop does not have a strong enough processor. He did the best he could do for the machine. We spoke about the issue and he took additional time to remote into my computer to analyze if any other issues existed. Recommendations were made, which I was helpful. Good service in my opinion.
Jay Shapiro, Excellent technical service
Jay Shapiro and the associates he has working with him have always provided me with prompt and capable service for my laptop and iPad, especially when there is some kind of emergency, like a machine going black or a message hinting there is a danger lurking. Jay has also been willing to review a problem remotely, which can provide a quick turnaround. When I was first setting up equipment and the router for wifi was not consistently working, Jay knew immediately which router would be most reliable, and there have been no problems since then. He has always been helpful with both the computer and any applications that I wished to run. Also good expertise on Apple devices.
Jay Shapiro, Superb Computer and Electronics Technician
The exceptionally superb Jay Shapiro Computers are the ONLY people allowed to touch my computers and related equipment. My Dell computer was recently hacked into. Jay was more than up to the task of fixing my computer. As usual, Jay was very methodical, and stayed in touch with me frequently using my iPad. All the problems have been fixed, but Jay becomes like a partner. He helps me buy and setup all my equipment. Has worked on my tower computer, my iPad, my Wi-Fy equipment, set up Apple TV for me and a booster WiFi. Jay always responds quickly to fix my problems. He stays with his work tenaciously until I am completely satisfied. Jay is a master of what he does. He's up to date on the latest technologies, Windows and Apple, and I'm sure others. He's really great at explaining the best ways to use my equipment. He not only shows me features I didn't know I had, but also explains the best way to use them. Jay is very accommodating regarding my schedule. Plus, I'm getting excellent value because Jay is so knowledgeable that he's able to work at an unusually fast pace. As if he were part of the computer or other device. He's so polite and kind, I consider him a friend. If you need help with a computer or related equipment, save yourself a headache and call Jay Shapiro Computers. He's the real thing, a real professional.

Debian CRAN/BioConductor/Omegahat package archive
The Alioth pkg-bioc group is working on Debian packages repository for the GNU R packages from the upstream sources at CRAN , BioConductor and Omegahat.
NOTE: The project moved to a subversion repository. That change went hand in hand with a considerable rewrite. The folder from which to start scripts hence became tools-ng, the prior folder tools will be removed in near future.
This effort is important for Debian for several reasons:
- Ease of use for scientific researchers using Debian
- The archive is aiming to be complete
- The archive is aiming to be up to date
- The archive is aiming to be easily updateable
- Provide an improved link between Debian and the research communities as their upstream developers
It is also important for initiatives within and associated with Debian
Debian Pure Blends (like DebianMed) and derivatives like Quantian can use CRAN and BioConductor packages
Commercial efforts distributing Debian-derived Bioinformatics solutions are likely to improve over an inclusion of BioConductor, CRAN and Omegahat.
PopCon stats
The Popularity Contest is an initiative to collect statistics about the number of installations that any package experiences in Debian. To be counted, the packages do not necessarily need to be distributed via Debian servers. Here are our numbers:
The May 2007 brought us a repository for Debian packages. We hope to announce soon on this page once its regular maintenance for updates is secured. To help in that process or with the further development of the R packages, browse the code in the SVN repository and you may want to introduce yourself on the pkg-bioc-devel mailing list. The lines below explain how to automatically build the packages. If you want to contribute, you could have a look at the following TODO list.
The current development is actually done in SVN sql branch where the sql version is brought to live. This branch is actually a copy of the tools-ng describe below, but with the data store in SQL, so we do not need to reread everything at each startup. The code is not yet finished, so this is not a completely working build system. Contribution are the most welcome.
Using subversion to group-maintain packages
For pkg-bioc you should checkout everything. The binaries produced are not part of the SVN repository, only the manually prepared files go there.
If you have an account on Alioth then use it if you are interested in write access to the repository (you are)
svn co svn+ssh://firstname.lastname@example.com/svn/pkg-bioc/
- The password you may have to enter multiple times. For read only access do
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-bioc/
For the management of manually prepared R packages, which are partly maintained in the trunk/packages folder, the tool svn-buildpackage should be used. Other projects like DebianMed give respective instructions.
How to build the packages
This section explains how the .deb packages can be build locally from the R package archives. You will need about 1GB just for building the CRAN packages. All the build process scripts are developed for Lenny/Sid. The r_pkg_prepare.sh and r_pkg_update.pl scripts prepare and create the proper preparation of Debian packages with the choosed Builder suite: pbuilder or cowbuilder. It is strongly recommended to follow these instructions as it is a very nice piece of technology that makes Debian as strong as it is. The r_pkg_ordering.pl script will create the graph dependency of all package, and after launched the build with the selected Builder. The default Builder platform is cowbuilder.
- Create an empty directory and cd in it.
Prepare local Debian installation:
aptitude install cdbs subversion debhelper devscripts libapt-pkg-perl libgraph-perl pbuilder r-base-core fakeroot cdebootstrap libdebian-installer4 libdebian-installer-extra4 sudo libwww-perl cowdancer lintian
Note: cdebootstrap need at least version 0.4.X, if not lenny is not known.
Checkout the pkg-bioc's tools-ng module via SVN, either
anonymously without account on alioth.debian.org
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-bioc/trunk/tools-ng tools-ng
or (preferred) with one's account on alioth.debian.org
svn co svn+ssh://email@example.com/svn/pkg-bioc/trunk/tools-ng tools-ng
- Only this second route allows the contribution to the project.
and go to the new directory
cd tools-ng
4. You could possibly might decide to edit the header of r_pkg_prepare.sh for setting up some options:
The default Builder is cowbuilder.
- The default maximum size of the source package is 50MB.
5. Preparations for the packaging script: execute the r_pkg_prepare.sh with the right option. It will prepare
- the directories : create a source,build directories and a directory for the changelogs to be passed across builds.
- create the symlink.
- prepare some apt-cache stuff, need for the build.
- prepare and configure option need for the Builder
generate a file autogenerate-variable.out with all the right setting in it.
- to be run the first time, or when change need it. In theory, it could be run every time before r_pkg_update.pl.
Note: for a list of all the available options try : r_pkg_prepare.sh --help
- On the US side, try:
sh ./r_pkg_prepare.sh --create-all --us
- On Europe side (currently Germany), you might want to try the following for CRAN packages:
sh ./r_pkg_prepare.sh --create-all --eu
If you just want the CRAN mirror, you might want to try the following option --create-cran in place of --create-all.
6. Preparation of the mirror and Builder: r_pkg_update.pl
download the packages from CRAN, BioConductor, Omegahat to the local directory structure. It retrieves the top-level files as well as the Descriptions dir and nothing else. Some really big package are blacklist. We need an R guys for providing some nice R code checking if a file is bigger than XXMB before downloading them (see TODO list). (--doupdate)
- create or update the Builder base image. (--dobuilderupdate)
- clean in the build and source directories for obsolete files and directories.
Note: for a list of all the available options try : ./r_pkg_update.pl --help or ./r_pkg_update.pl --man
./r_pkg_update.pl --doupdate --dobuilderupdate
Also note: The --dobuilderupdate implies a changeroot if ?CowBuilder or PBuilder approaches are utilised. Either process needs to perform a chroot. One hence needs to allow the execution of pbuilder and/or cowbuilder as root via an entry in /etc/sudoers like
username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pbuilder
The editing should be performed via the visudo program to avoid syntax errors.
7. The dependencies Graph construction is done on this step. After constructing the dependencies, the packages are build. If a package failed to be build, all package depending on this one, will be marked as not buildable. The graph construction is not taking a lot of time. What is taking a lot of time is reading the DESCRIPTION file from the disk. it's taking about 150 seconds to build the dependencies graph of cran, bioc, omegahat (on my old P4). So this part will be optimize as soon as the storage.pm exist (see TODO list).
Note: for a list of all the available options try : ./r_pkg_ordering.pl --help or ./r_pkg_ordering.pl --man
I will highly sugest that you launched the previous command in a screen.
The building time is taking time.... for the full 3 repositories, it's about 2500 packages to be build for a fresh build! So you can from time to time, from an other terminal in the tools-ng directory, run:
This script is generated by r_pkg_prepare.sh.
If you want to stop the building process in a clean way,
touch stop
When the current package will be finished, the script will stop the building loop and write the 2 summary files:
- ../web/cannotbuild.html
- ../web/duplicated.html
and exit cleanly.
do not forgot of course to remove your "stop" file, before relaunching your ./r_pkg_ordering.pl.
8. upload the results to the shared repository with the current directory still being in the tools-ng directory. (You need to have an access to our Alioth pkg-bioc group. See the pkg-bioc-devel mailing-list if you want to contribute.) This step is not yet implemented. It will be implemented, as soon as, we have a build process producing Lintian clean packages.
Note: If you want to connect using your ssh key :), you need to log in on Alioth and import your public from the web interface Import your ssh key.
Alternative Notes
The script gen_already_in_debian.sh generate the file (list.d/AlreadyIncludeInDebian.list) listing the already packaged R modules.
2 builds mechanism are support: pbuilder or cowbuilder. Other build system could be support, it's just a matter of:
cp PBuilder.pm mynewbuilder.pm edit mynewbuilder.pm to correct the call done inside. edit r_pkg_prepare to select the build install methods as mynewbuilder continue on step 5 : sh ./r_pkg_prepare.sh --create-all --somewhere
When your mynewbuilder is working, don't forget to commit it on the SVN if you are alioth contributors, or to send it to the mailing-list.
Automated assignment of Debtags
This part is needing some contributions (see TODO list)
The ?BioConductor developers annotate their packages by words of a controlled hierarchically organised vocabulary. Details are laid out in the biocViews package. The Debian community has come up with Debian Tags, in short: [debtags.alioth.debian.org Debtags]. The Perl script tools/r_debtags_update.pl performs an automated translation of the biocViews terms into entries of the Debtags initiative. It can be called without parameters and as a start reads through all DESCRIPTIONs of locally installed Debian packages. This is not perfect but it is something. The challenge now is to merge such automated efforts with manually created entries. Most of the stuff has been merged in the tools-ng/debtab.pm which still need some more work to make it working).
The SVN repository stores the latest list of tags in the file tools-ng/R.tags. Nothing has yet been decided if an how we should make this accessible to access as a source in /etc/debtags/sources.list. The DebianMed community provides a svn page to collect additions for the Debtags initiative.
Technical Details (Draft)
The 'r_pkg_prepare' script sets up folders to store results of the packaging process. It also sets a number of variables that are read from later scripts. Most obviously this comprises the decisions * which build method should be used * from where packages should be downloaded and a range of further files are created to help cow/pbuilder to perform correctly.
The then called script 'r_pkg_update' performs two actions. The first is represented by the option '--doupdate' which mirrors the source packages from CRAN, ?BioConductor or ?OmegaHat. The '--dobuildupdate' updates the ?[chroot] in which the packages are built. That chroot is tared away into a file and untared again for every package that is due to be built. This overhead is reduced by using cowbuilder. Since the call to chroot demands superuser capabilities, the cowbuilder and pbuilder commands need to be added to the sudoers file.
The packaging itself is performed by the script 'r_pkg_ordering' which does not see additional options. It just builds then all while taking care of the build order, hence the name.
Directly or indirectly and this effort received support by the Institutes Neuro- and Bioinformatics, Medical Informatics and Medical Biometry and Statistics at the University of Lübeck, the KnowARC EU project, our friends and families. Please add who is missing.

University of Colorado President Bruce Benson and several other leaders of state colleges are opposing a bill that would allow community colleges to offer select four-year degree programs.
In a letter to the Colorado General Assembly last month, Benson and top leaders from six other colleges outlined concerns about Senate Bill 13-165. Chief among them: a bachelor's degree from a community college would be of limited value in the marketplace; the accreditation process is expensive and difficult; state funding for higher education is already scarce; and there would be overlaps in missions.
But Nancy McCallin, president of the Colorado Community College System, dismisses those claims, saying the bill is about serving students and there's demand for four-year trade degrees in areas such as culinary arts and dental hygienists.
For Front Range Community College, she envisions the possibility of a bachelor's degree in "geographic information systems," technical training required to build GPS systems.
Two-thirds of the state's 163,000 community college students work to put themselves through college, McCallin said. Many can't afford to uproot their families or leave the farms they work on in rural Colorado to transfer to a four-year institution. Offering four-year degrees, she said, would extend educational opportunities to those types of students -- not draw students away from other colleges.
"This is all about the students," McCallin said. "It's about providing higher education opportunities to them so that they can further their careers at an affordable price."
She said the bill would allow community colleges to offer up to 10 degree programs only in technical, career and workforce development programs and that there are guardrails in place -- including approval from higher education department officials -- to make sure there aren't overlaps with programs already offered at four-year colleges.
The bill is co-sponsored by state Sen. Nancy Todd, D-Aurora, and Jim Wilson, R-Chaffee. It was introduced in the Senate last month and assigned to the education committee.
Benson has made the point that if community colleges start offering four-year degrees, why shouldn't four-year colleges offer associate degree options?
In the letter to legislators, college leaders say there is already enough enrollment space at Colorado's four-year colleges, and community colleges shouldn't enter the baccalaureate marketplace. They say increasing partnerships between universities and the community college system is a better, more efficient strategy.
"In a resource-constrained environment there are better ways to do this -- not by adding overlapping, redundant and inefficient programs, but by looking for ways for community colleges to partner with four-year institutions to deliver degrees from established and already accredited programs," says the letter signed by college leaders.
In addition to Benson, the letter is signed by: Bill Scoggins, president of the Colorado School of Mines; Tim Foster, president of Colorado Mesa University; Dave Svaldi, president of Adams State University; Jay Helman, president of Western Colorado State University; Dene Kay Thomas, president of Fort Lewis College; and Mike Martin, chancellor of the Colorado State University system.
Over the past few years, CU and community colleges have been working together to make transferring a smoother process.
For example, a new state law in 2010 set up seamless transfer agreements in 14 degree tracks. Up until then, the bureaucratic red tape -- and web of transfer rules that varied among colleges -- stymied students from pursuing higher degrees, officials have said.
A couple of years ago, CU unveiled its "CU Guaranteed" program, which extends a guaranteed admission offer to arts and sciences programs at CU's campuses for community college students who earn 30 credit hours and achieve at least a 2.7 grade-point average.
"We already have a lot of programs in place that make this bill unnecessary," said Ken McConnellogue, spokesman for the CU system.
CU Regent Stephen Ludwig, who attended two community colleges before transferring to CU's Colorado Springs campus, has helped lead efforts to smooth transfers between community colleges and CU. Speaking for himself, he said he's opposed to the proposed legislation, citing concerns of "mission creep."
"Colorado has an ongoing debate every few years about what schools should do what," Ludwig said. "It's a distraction. It doesn't encourage cooperation. It encourages competitiveness."
He suggests that four-year schools use technology to partner with distance learners in rural areas who have earned their associate's degree and are looking to earn a bachelor's degree but are not able to relocate.
In 2011-12, there were 437 students who transferred from community colleges to the Boulder campus, according to CU statistics. Over the past four years, those transfer figures have ranged from 372 to 438.
Now, about 20 percent of all transfer students to the Boulder campus come from two-year institutions.

BushLeagueMedia brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 37 Designs von 10 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Eye popping logo that actually conveys an image of the popular baseball slang term, "Bush League". Definition - Amateur performance. Behavior that doesn't belong in the major leagues. A slang term used to describe play that is of inferior or unprofessional quality. More on this in the what I want section.
Bush League Media
I need a playful, energetic, and vibrant logo for a full service multimedia company. Our company needs a fun and exciting logo to catch our customers eyes and make them laugh. I'm a baseball fanatic and use many baseball analogies as it relates to success in business.
Item 1...It needs to be a baseball oriented logo that shows an image of a Bush League play or action.
- Example - The popular usage of "bush league"* describes an action or practice that's unprofessional in a situation where professionalism is expected. Cheating, especially immature cheating, can be considered "bush league." A few weeks ago, the aforementioned Alex Rodriguez called out "I got it" while running from third during a pop-up that caused the third baseman of the opposing team to move away from the ball, letting it drop and Alex to score. That was a very "bush league" move which earned him some deserved scorn. Major leaguers should act professionally and show class in the sport they play.
- An example of an image for the logo could be a pitcher throwing a baseball at the batters head or body and the batter moving out of the way of the incoming ball - glaring at the pitcher.
- Another example of an image could be a runner sliding into a base and intentionally trying to run-over or knock-down the imposing player covering the base.
- Colors should be vibrant and could play off of the Major League Baseball logo of red, white, and blue.
- MLB logo can be seen at http://www.mlb.com
- Have fun with this and remember that this logo should be a play on the actual slang term.
- Another example could be a pitcher wiping an unauthorized substance on the baseball such as pine tar, saliva, or mud before he throws the pitch to the batter.
- Item 1...I don't want to see the company name Bush League Media with some trees or bushes behind it as I don't think it will be give the term justice.

Kevin Goldstein gives us an update on the guy Kenny traded to get Carlos Quentin:
… one scout had more concerns about Carter's propensity to swing and miss than anything positive to say, noting that he's "so big and strong, and it is absolutely enormous power. But if the ball is not in his immediate bat path, he misses." The scout added, "He's bad at seeing the slider, and bad at laying off the slider, and that's a very tough combination to overcome," admitting there are some fears that Carter will be just an up-and-down player in the end. "He's going to keep putting up big numbers, but he has holes above and below the barrel, and lots of areas that big-league pitchers can go to get him out. With what the A's have done with Jack Cust, you'd never want to say never, but I think when he gets to the big leagues, he's just going to strike out a ton."
