I currently have OSS 4.0.2 debian running on my Ubuntu system. Is it possible to just do an upgrade to the real Ubuntu version? Or would I need to uninstall/install - If so, what are the data directories I need to save?
Search the forums on how to backup.
I had been using the debian ver on ubuntu (i had to repack the .deb control and .sh script files to reflect differently named dependancies) and I decied to try out the ubuntu version. Bad idea, it was completely broke. I switched back to my modifed debian version on my dev box and all is well again. :cool:
Thanks 3RiversTechAdmin, for letting me know there are possibly issues. I appreciate your helpful insight. I'll stick with the debian version for now.
Wannabetenor - I did search the forums (and google), and I saw quite a lot of info for backing up and restoring to the same distribution - but that was not my question and therefore the answers were irrelevant. My questions were: Can I simply update from Debian to Ubuntu? and if so are there specific backups related to that? Neither of which are answered in the forums.
That specific question isn't answered but there are threads about moving from one o/s to another or backing-up the system and restoring it on another machine, that information would apply to you.Quote:

Thanks for your help.
My point was that you should find what you need in the forums, either moving to different hardware or changing operating systems on the same hardware - those subjects have been covered in the forums before.
Thanks for pointing out that my answers were irrelevant. ;)Quote:

This topic is covered extensivly.
Yep, should work fine.Quote:

Installed CENTOS. Made sure that my hosts file was the same as the old setup and the IP address was the same. Installed the CENTOS version (well the RHEL installer) of 4.02 as a fresh install.
Shut down Zimbra again and restored my backup of /opt/zimbra.
Ran the RHEL installer again but chose upgrade this time. It detected that the db in /opt/zimbra was using an old schema and upgraded it (wasn't just an OS change for us but also a version change). It probably upgraded a lot of other things as well.
At the end it started up and is working nicely.

It's based on a Nasa mission of the same name which began in 2013 and seeks to identify, capture and redirect an asteroid to put it in a safe orbit around the Earth's moon.The little green Kerbals must undertake a similar task, detecting and selecting asteroids for the project, building a rocket ship capable of intercepting and redirecting it, then landing Kerbals on the surface of the asteroid to conduct research.In order to achieve their goals, players will have access to nearly a dozen new parts including huge fuel tanks and a robotic grappling device for latching onto objects."This relationship with Nasa, the very beacon of big dreams and imagination, is going to give players a real opportunity to learn about the universe we're living in," said Kerbal Space Program lead developer Felipe Falanghe. "The Asteroid Redirect Mission is going to be one of the rewarding and challenging accomplishments in all of gaming."While Nasa isn't expecting to land explorers on a real relocated asteroid until the early 2020s, the Kerbals are expected to arrive far sooner as the update is getting a reveal at SXSW Gaming on 8 March.Nasa is excited about the partnership too as it helps players gain an understanding of the space agency's work as well as encouraging enthusiasm about space exploration in younger players. "The collaboration with Kerbal Space Program can help drive interest by future explorers in next-generation technology development and deep space exploration," said Bob Jacobs, deputy associate administrator for communications at Nasa. "Having an element of the experience based in the reality of Nasa's exploration initiatives empower players to manage their own space programme while getting valuable insight into the reality of studying asteroids as a next step in getting to Mars."

An enormous jigsaw puzzle is being put together in Kemper County.
With about a year and a half left on the construction schedule, Southern Company officials say work on the lignite coal plant is going well.
"2012 is a year where all the structures will be built," says construction manager Dave Empfield, "next year we'll be tying all the piping and electrical systems together, with the majority of construction finishing up late summer of next year."
An instant economy has popped up along Highway 493 leading up to the plant site, including companies from as far away as Pennsylvania.
On site, several local companies have been able to team up with Mississippi Power to boost business as well.
"We have about 1900 craftsmen on site, of that 1900 about half are from Mississippi," says Empfield, "we currently have 16 general contractors, 25 sub contractors on site, and have worked about 3 million hours since the project started."
Workers we ran into say they are happy to have a steady job, something that is not easy to come by during these economic times.
Mississippi Power still hopes to have the plant fully online in May 2014.

For the first time since University of Virginia senior Yeardley Love's violent death May 3, the mother of alleged killer George Huguely has spoken.
Marta Murphy said in an e-mail to the Washington Post that it has been "difficult to remain silent" during "this dark, tumultuous time."
She wrote that she knew Yeardley and her mother well:
"I got to know her as George's mom. She was a sweet wonderful, young woman with a limitless future. We also know her mother, Sharon. The pain she and her family are suffering is something that no family should ever have to endure. No parent should have to bury a child, and not a moment goes by when they are not in our thoughts and our prayers."
Murphy and Huguely's father, George Huguely IV, have been divorced since 1998. She said that she and Huguely's father "will support George in whatever way [they] can -- just as any mother or father would do for their child."
Love's Saturday funeral brought out thousands of mourners. Huguely remains in jail. His next court date is June 10.

Because you can't pack an entire wardrobe for multi-day backpacking trips, outfit yourself with the highly versatile Mountain Hardwear Men's Mesa V.2 Convertible Pant. The full-length pant protects your legs from prickly underbrush and, when the morning chill yields to the mid-day sun, you can simply zip off the legs and you're good to go. Plus, a DWR finish and mesh drain panels allow the shorts to dry in a flash after you've cooled off in a crystal clear alpine lake.
- Canyon Twill nylon fabric is lightweight, breathable, and has a DWR finish for quick dry times
- Convertible feature allows you to zip off the legs to turn this pant into a lightweight pair of shorts
- Relaxed fit and a gusseted inseam allow you to move freely
- Mesh panels inside the pockets allow water to drain when you take a dip in the river
- UPF 50 rating helps you avoid harmful sunburn
- Tool-specific pocket is ideal for a pocket knife
- Zippered side pocket keeps valuables safely stowed
- Item #MHW2462

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Great pant for all occasions
- Fit: Runs small
Contrary to other reviews on the V.2 pant, I found the sizing to fit me perfectly (30x30). It should be taken into account, however, that I am 5'5" with an athletic build. Those with larger waist lines should anticipate sizing up, as a 30 fits snug about my waist. The convertible feature makes these the most practical pants I own and really saved me while hiking around in Croatia's bipolar climate. The DWR works wonders and seems to shed light rain with ease.
Would I recommend the V.2s? Absolutely, but be aware that the sizing tends to run small.
Not true to size.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
These run small, had to return.
Good buy.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
I have several other convertible pants (North Face Paramount Peaks) and wanted something similar as I wear the bejessus out of those. I think that these will definitely fit the bill. While I agree with bre3209695 about the pockets not being deep enough, I have no issue carrying around my phone, wallet, and a Leatherman (if not attached to my belt). My one issue comes in that they run just a wee bit tight. Nothing to send them back over, but I definitely needed to do some adjusting once I got them on. I have yet to really put these things through their paces, but they seem like a great day hike pant, and work well for an everyday (which is what I got them for).
Lacking in pockets and zips
These are really nicely constructed, and lightweight. The fit is solid, not too baggy through the legs, although they do flare out slightly towards the ankles. But the front pockets are not nearly deep enough, and will lead to stuff falling out. The back pockets have no velcro or zip closure, and the one zip pocket is very small, barely big enough for sunglasses. Also, this version lacks ankle zips, which I find essential not just for removing the legs, but also for getting the pants to fit right over my boots. So back they went, alas.
Do these have an adjustable elastic cuff?
Hey Aldis,
Just confirmed via reviews on their site - these do not have an adjustable cuff.
about size.. if the size is 30x32 what...
about size..
if the size is 30x32 what is waist size?
Waist size comes first in that measurement, so that's a 30-inch waist and a 32-inch inseam.

Newspaper article The Evening Standard (London, England)
Ashton Gambles on Farrell Factor; League Star to Start against Scots
Article excerpt
Byline: NEAL COLLINS
BRIAN ASHTON will kick off his career as England's new head coach with one of the biggest gambles in Six Nations history when he names former Great Britain rugby league captain Andy Farrell in his team to play Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday.
Ashton, charged with the task of turning around the nation's rugby fortunes after the disastrous Andy Robinson era, knows the choice of Farrell at centre could backfire.
Farrell spent the 18 months of his RFU assisted switch from Wigan to Saracens battling injury.
And when he finally took the field at Vicarage Road, Farrell found himself caught in a battle between club - boss Alan Gaffney wanted him to play at flanker and country - Robinson insisted he was a centre.
Farrell has started just seven union games in two years - he was even rested for yesterday's 19-8 win over London Irish but with six days to go before the big Six Nations kick-off, Gaffney insisted: "Andy definitely justifies selection. I must admit I didn't think he would progress as quickly as he has done. It's been a delight seeing how far he's come.
"He's got the ability to play the game going forward and laterally, and there aren't many players like that. He's made tremendous strides. I thought for a while that he might be exposed defensively at 12.
"Although he's a good tackler, it's a difficult position to defend in but he's developed very well in that area too. …

atlas products are available in over 30 countries worldwide
It has long been known that the quality of mains power can have a dramatic effect on the high fidelity performance of audio systems. The delivery of quality power as well as the containment and robustness of the supply to conductor and air borne interference are now a critical part of most if not all product design strategies.
Power management and distribution devices are growing more in popularity, principally as a result of the increasingly negative impact of Rf pollution that floods our homes and daily life. With increasing use of high resolution audio and video content our replay equipment has come under assault by extraneous high energy broad spectrum noise, both airbourne and directly induced through the mains supply circuits. Wireless networks, bluetooth, spread spectrum wireless transmission, power line, dect phones not to mention home appliance generated noise all contribute to the rise of protection devices.
Atlas set out to build and improve on the previous performance standard set by the Eos 4sqmm to deliver a low resistance, large current handling power cable with an impeccable Rf performance pedigree
The very best power cables are built around low series resistance, high efficiency dielectrics and high tech screening, the Eos 4dd excels in all these areas. Utilising Atlas high purity low resistance oxygen free copper (OFC) and high efficiency, high speed PTFE (Teflon) dielectrics, the cherry on the cake is the adoption of Asimi and Mavros dual drain technology as the mechanism of coupling to the primary screening.
The Eos 4dd screen acts as a filter against harmful incoming Rf a.c. power contamination, it dumps these airborne and electromagnetic disturbance effects rapidly to earth via the Atlas dual drain system employed in the latest generation Atlas cables.
The Atlas plugs and iec sockets provided with the Eos power cords are specifically designed to accept larger conductors. The pins in both the plugs and the sockets are rhodium plated for good conductivity; there are no soldered connections in these plugs.
Eos Modular power distribution block.
The Atlas range of products has gathered 'five star' awards and superb reviews since its introduction.
For those who'd like to know more about the technology behind these cables, we have two technical documents: DNA of Atlas power products and DNA of Atlas audio products.
For more information and advice, call us on 0800 731 1140 (UK only) or +44 (0) 1563 572666, or e-mail us.

Tampa's first official Foodspotting event took place at Datz last Thursday evening. It was quite the event, full of photos, libations, a few of Datz signature dishes and sneak previews of things to come! Each course was spectacular, wonderfully executed and very thought-out….not a surprise because that's just how Datz does it. Now on to the hunger inducing photos:
And the Foodspotting began…
The event took place on Datz' covered outdoor patio, nestled between Datz and Dough – it's soon to be sister home of baked goods and artisan coffees. Keep reading on as behind the scenes drool-worthy footage of this soon-to-be new hotspot is included …
Course 1 : Figgy Salad
Baby spinach, dried mission figs, Point Reyes blue cheese, Nueske's applewood smoked bacon, red onions, pumpkin seeds, warm bacon vinaigrette
A salad with sweet, salty and savory notes is always a winner in my book – this fit that description to a T!
Prickly Pear Mimosa
Sparkling wine, tangerine-mandarin puree, prickly pear cactus syrup, kiwi & prickly pear cactus pate de fruit garnish
This is what a mimosa on steroids tastes like and please be warned that after one of these bad boys a plain old mimosa will no longer satisfy.
Next we ventured on to the "Gluttonous Delights"
Mac Bites
Jalapeno and crispy Benton's Tennessee hickory smoked bacon mac-n-cheese with sriracha aioli
These delicious balls of happiness are a MUST ORDER when you visit Datz – just believe me and do it
When Pigs Fly
the Datz bacon flite: featuring Benton's Tennessee hickory smoked bacon, jowl bacon, back bacon, peppered bacon & Nueske's applewood smoked bacon served with balsamic glaze, maple syrup, red chili pepper jam, and Vosges chocolate
A flight of bacon, need I say more???
Our next pair of courses took us to the deep south Datz style…
Creole Shrimp and Grits
Gulf shrimp, spicy Creole sauce, Anson Mills antebellum white grits, smoked gouda, sautéed spinach
Honey Badger
Buffalo Trace bourbon, fresh lemon, Datz local honey syrup
I've had the opportunity to try this cocktail a few times, and as someone who typically leans towards drinks with a clear liquor base I have been pleasantly surprised with how the honey and lemon transformed this bourbon drink into quite the palate-pleaser.
boneless fried chicken, cheddar Belgian waffles, sautéed spinach, jalapeno-maple syrup
Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale
Beer aged for up to 6 weeks in freshly decanted bourbon barrels
Beer me! The Kentucky Bourbon Barrle Ale was a perfect choice to serve alongside the Waffles-n-tweet.
"Classics our way"
Havana Hottie
Datz housemade Mojo pulled pork, baked ham, Swiss cheese, honeycup mustard, served on hot house-baked batard
Datz' interpretation of the Cuban Sandwich. I will admit that although it is one of the less authentic versions around town (if not the least), it is without question in both Todd and my top 5 all-time favorite Cubans.
Crunchy Grilled Cheese
Extra sharp cheddar & quick pickled cabbage/carrots/zucchini sautéed in sesame oil, served on grilled, sesame-crusted, house-baked sourdough
Yes Please! Grilled cheese has always been one of my favorite sandwiches, and was about the only thing I would eat as a child. I loved the addition of crunchy pickled veggies and the use of sourdough bread. This sammie was a sneak peak of a new menu item to appear in the next few weeks.
Barrel Aged El Presidente
photo by Jodi Fritch – Tampa Bay Wine Woman
Pritchards Crystal Rum, aged for 3 months in bourbon barrels in Datz' wine cellar. This artisan Cuban cocktail was another sneak peak of things coming to the menu soon. Sweet, flavorful and deceivingly strong – this just may be my new favorite night cap.
"Sweet Finish2"
Housemade Gelato
lavender-honey, red velvet, salted curry caramel
Made in-house, this gelato was incredible! I'm excited to see what flavors Datz comes up with next.
Hot Doughnut Experience
Doughnut making (& eating!) next door at Dough
So many topping choices… After sampling each and loving them all, I opted for the classic glaze – MMMmmm. Tampa get ready for Dough – it's going to completely knock your socks off!!
Oh and if you're looking for catering of any kind – Datz' has a division called "Dazzle" that does just that. I don't know about you, but if I heard of a wedding being catered by Datz – there would definitely be some crashing going on…
Not to my surprise at all, Datz had done it again! This meal was one to remember, leaving me more than full and ready for bed – where I knew dreams of warm doughnuts would be visiting me soon!
Datz is located at 2616 South MacDill Avenue, Tampa, FL

After years of promoting its phones as ''the next big thing,'' Samsung is realizing that bigger isn't necessarily better.
Two new Galaxy Note smartphones from Samsung are about the same size as last year's Note 3. What's different: A side screen on one of them and sharper cameras on both. Samsung also unveiled new wearable devices, including a virtual-reality headset, as part of its holiday lineup. The devices won't start selling until October or later, and prices for most haven't been announced yet.
Based on about an hour with these new gadgets at a Samsung event in New York, I find them impressive. But whether that's enough to win over potential iPhone customers will depend on what app developers do with these new features.
There's speculation Apple will unveil the iPhone 6 in two sizes next week, with the larger one at 5.5 inches. If that's the case, Samsung loses much of its size advantage and will have to make a compelling case for these other features.
The new Samsung Galaxy Note Edge smartphone. (Reuters)
Samsung's Galaxy Note phones have always been too big for me, but I know some people prefer larger screens because text is easier to read and video is easier to watch.
The new Note 4 is a successor to last year's Note 3 and retains its 5.7-inch screen. The Note Edge's screen is 5.6 inches and extends over the right edge and curves toward the back, creating a second display on the side.
The side display is my favorite of the new phone features. It can show weather and time while the phone is laid on a table or nightstand. You can add icons for quick access to apps you use frequently, such as Gmail or Netflix. You also get a panel of tools such as the flashlight. This panel is something Apple's iPhones have had for a year, and I'm glad to finally see it on an Android phone.
The new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone. (Reuters)
But it's too early to tell whether this side screen will ultimately be essential or merely a gimmick. Seeing weather and time on the side while in bed is neat, but I could simply grab the phone and check the home screen. I

|Back to August Ed Reporter
Convention, Minneapolis, 1995
A-8. Public School Buildings. The Association believes that closed
public school buildings should be sold or leased only to those
organizations that do not provide direct educational services to
students and/or are not in direct competition with public schools.
A-11. Federal Financial Support for Education. The Association asserts that a major federal role is to collect basic data to be used in public schools and to engage in research, development, and consultation activities. The Association further believes that funding for federal programs should be substantially increased.
A-13. Basic Financial Support of Public Education. Funds must be provided for programs to alleviate race, gender, and sexual orientation discrimination and to eliminate portrayal of race, gender, and sexual orientation stereotypes in the public schools.
A-27. Deleterious Programs. The National Education Association believes that the following programs and practices are detrimental to public education and must be eliminated: privatization, performance contracting, tax credits for tuition to private and parochial schools, voucher plans (or funding formulas that have the same effect as vouchers), planned program budgeting systems (PPBS), and evaluations by private, profit-making groups.
A-28. Federally or State-Mandated Choice/Parental Option Plans. The Association opposes federally or state-mandated choice or parental option plans.
A-29. Tuition Tax Credits. The Association believes that all federal and state legislation designed to establish or implement plans for prekindergarten through grade 12 tuition tax credits is detrimental to the public interest and urges its affiliates to work for the defeat of such legislation.
A-30. Voucher Plans. The Association believes that legislation or ballot initiatives/referenda designed to establish or implement prekindergarten through grade 12 voucher plans are detrimental to the public interest and calls upon its affiliates to work for the defeat of such actions.
B-1. Early Childhood Education. The National Education Association supports early childhood education programs in the public schools for children from birth through age eight. The Association supports a high-quality program of transition from home and/or preschool to the public kindergarten or first grade. The Association further believes that early childhood education programs should include a full continuum of services for parents and children, including child care, child development, developmentally appropriate and diversity-based curricula, special education, and appropriate bias-free screening devices. The Association believes that federal legislation should be enacted to assist in organizing the implementation of fully funded early childhood education programs offered through the public schools. These programs should be available to all children on an equal basis and should include mandatory kindergarten with compulsory attendance.
B-7. Sexism in Education. The Association endorses the use of nonsexist language by all schools. The Association further believes that sexism and sex discrimination must be eliminated from the curriculum.
B-8. Sexual Orientation Education. The National Education
Association recognizes the importance of raising the awareness and
increasing the sensitivity of staff, students, parents, and the
community to sexual orientation in our society. The Association
therefore supports the development of positive plans that lead to
effective ongoing training programs for education employees for the
purpose of identifying and eliminating sexual orientation
stereotyping in the educational setting. Such programs should
attend to but not be limited to --
B-20. Educational Programs for Limited English Proficiency Students. The Association urges that those students whose primary language is other than English be placed in bilingual education programs to receive instruction in their native language from qualified teachers until such time as English proficiency is achieved. The Association believes bilingual education programs should be promoted and supported at the federal, state, and local levels.
B-22. Adolescent Pregnancy and Parenting. The Association
recommends that special programs for adolescents be implemented to
include --
B-27. Multicultural/Global Education. The National Education Association believes that multiculturalism is the process of valuing differences and incorporating these values into behavior for the goal of achieving the common good. The Association further believes that multicultural/global education is a way of helping students perceive the cultural diversity of U.S. citizenry so that they may develop pride in their cultural legacy. Multicultural/global education develops an awareness of cultures and an appreciation of our interdependency in sharing the world's limited resources.
B-30. Career Education. The career education concept needs to include programs in gender-free career awareness. The Association believes that educational programs for all student should be developed that will enhance self-esteem.
B-34. Family Life Education. The Association recommends that
programs be established for both students and parents and supported
at all educational levels to promote --
B-35. Sex Education. The Association recognizes that the public school must assume an increasingly important role in providing the instruction. Teachers and health professionals must be qualified to teach in this area and must be legally protected from censorship and lawsuits. The Association urges its affiliates and members to support appropriately established sex education programs, including information on sexual abstinence, birth control and family planning, diversity of culture, diversity of sexual orientation, parenting skills, prenatal care, sexually transmitted diseases, incest, sexual abuse, sexual harassment. To facilitate the realization of human potential, it is the right of every individual to live in an environment of freely available information, knowledge, and wisdom about sexuality.
B-36. AIDS Education. The National Education Association recommends that educational institutions establish comprehensive acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) education programs as an integral part of the school curriculum.
B-38. Environmental Education. The Association further urges the
development and improvement of educational programs that will --
B-52. Standardized Testing of Students. The National Education Association opposes standardized testing that is mandated by local, state, or national authority. The Association also opposes the use of these tests to compare one student, staff member, school, or district with another.
B-63. Home Schooling. The National Education Association believes that home schooling programs cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience. The Association believes that if parental preference home schooling study occurs, students enrolled must meet all state requirements. Instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department of education should be used. The Association further believes that such home schooling programs should be limited to the children of immediate family, with all expenses being borne by the parents.
First New B. Diversity. The National Education Association believes that diversity is any combination of similarities and differences of people in community, work places, school systems, or similar environments. Some examples are race, ethnicity, color, national origin, language, geographic location, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, size, and marital, parental, or economic status. The Association further believes that all education employees must recognize and respect diversity that exists among students and all the peoples.
Second New B. Global Education. The National Education Association believes that global education increases respect and awareness of planet earth and its people. Global education imparts information about cultures and an appreciation of our interdependency in sharing the world's resources to meet mutual human needs.
C-1. Health Care for All Children. The National Education Association believes that every child should have direct and confidential access to comprehensive health care. The Association urges its affiliates to support legislation to provide comprehensive health care to all children.
C-7. Day Care. The National Education Association believes that all child care centers should be examined and monitored on a continuous basis, and additional legislation should be sought as necessary to maintain the highest quality child care. The Association encourages school districts and educational institutions to establish on-site child care for preschoolers, students, the children of students, and the children of staff members.
C-23. Comprehensive School Health Programs and Services. The
National Education Association believes that every child should
have direct and confidential access to comprehensive health,
social, and psychological programs and services. The Association
also believes that programs in the schools should provide a planned
sequential, K-12 health education curriculum that integrates
various health topics (such as drug abuse, violence, universal
precautions, and HIV education). The Association believes that
services in the schools should include --
C-24. School Counseling Programs. The National Education Association believes that guidance and counseling programs should be integrated into the entire education system, beginning at the prekindergarten level.
C-29. Student Sexual Orientation. The Association believes that every school district and educational institution should provide counseling and suicide prevention programs by trained personnel for students who are struggling with their sexual/gender orientation.
C-30. Placement of Students with HIV/AIDS. The Association believes that students should not be refused admittance to school or subjected to any other adverse action solely because they have tested positive for HIV or have been diagnosed as having AIDS.
C-31. Suicide Prevention Programs. The National Education Association believes that suicide prevention programs including prevention, intervention, and postvention must be developed and implemented. The Association urges its affiliates to ensure that these programs are an integral part of the school program.
C-34. Drug and Alcohol Testing of Students. The National Education Association believes that mandatory drug and alcohol testing of students without probable cause is an unwarranted and unconstitutional invasion of privacy and opposes such testing.
C-40. Gender Equity in Athletic Programs. The National Education Association believes that at all educational levels female and male students must have equal opportunity to participate in athletic programs. The Association urges that athletic funds for facilities, equipment, and remuneration of staff be allocated equally between female and male programs.
D-18. Competency Testing and Evaluation. The National Education Association believes that competency testing must not be used as a condition of employment, license retention, evaluation, placement, ranking, or promotion of licensed teachers.
E-9. Academic and Professional Freedom. The National Education Association believes that academic freedom is essential to the teaching profession. Academic freedom includes the rights of teachers and learners to explore and discuss divergent points of view. The Association further believes that legislation and regulations that mandate or permit the teaching of religious doctrines and/or groups that promote anti-public education agendas violate both student and teacher rights. The Association urges its affiliates to seek repeal of these mandates where they exist.
F-4. Affordable Health Care. The Association urges its affiliates to do all they can to enroll our members, their dependents, domestic partners, and retired education employees in comprehensive, affordable health insurance plans.
F-34. Drug and Alcohol Testing. The Association believes that mandatory and/or random drug and alcohol testing of employees and job applicants is an unwarranted and unconstitutional invasion of privacy and opposes such testing.
F-36. Employees with HIV/AIDS. The National Education Association believes that education employees shall not be fired, nonrenewed, suspended (with or without pay), transferred, or subjected to any other adverse employment action solely because they have tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) antibody or have been diagnosed as having HIV/AIDS.
H-6. National Health Care Policy. The Association supports the adoption of a single-payer health care plan for all residents of the United States, its territories, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
H-10. Statehood for the District of Columbia. The Association urges its affiliates to support efforts to achieve statehood for the District of Columbia.
New H. Celebration of Diversity in Thanksgiving. The National Education Association believes that Thanksgiving is the recognition of unity and the rich American diversity that was embodied in the settlement of America. The Association further believes that this national holiday must celebrate the coming together of peoples and the inclusion of all immigrants as a part of this great diverse country.
I-11. Civil Rights. The Association calls upon Americans to eliminate -- by statute and practice -- barriers of race, color, national origin, religion, philosophical beliefs, political beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, size, marital status, and economic status that prevent some individuals, adult or juvenile, from exercising rights enjoyed by others.
I-13. Family Planning. The National Education Association supports family planning, including the right to reproductive freedom. The Association further urges the implementation of community-operated, school-based family planning clinics that will provide intensive counseling by trained personnel.
I-18. Immigration. The Association opposes any policies that deny human rights, civil rights, or educational opportunities to immigrants and their children regardless of their immigration status.
I-22. Freedom of Creative Expression. The National Education Association supports freedom of expression in the creative arts and therefore deplores any efforts by government to suppress, directly or indirectly, such expression. The Association further supports the freedom of publicly funded agencies to exercise judgment in the awarding of grants to individuals and organizations.
I-25. Human Relations in the School. The Association calls for school recruitment and staffing policies that will ensure culturally diverse school employees [and] appropriate classroom and other student-related activities, particularly those that are responsive to the cultural diversity and historical backgrounds of our society.
I-27. Sectarian Practices in the School Program. The National Education Association believes that the constitutional provisions on the establishment of and the free exercise of religion in the First Amendment require that there be no sectarian practices in the public school program.
I-28. Control of Guns. The National Education Association believes that stricter legislation is needed to control guns and other deadly weapons.
I-46. English as the Official Language. The National Education Association recognizes the importance of an individual's native language and culture and the need to promote and preserve them. The Association believes that efforts to legislate English as the official language disregard cultural pluralism; deprive those in need of education, social services, and employment; and must be challenged.
I-49. Equal Opportunity for Women. The Association supports the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Association urges its affiliates to support ratification of such an amendment. Personnel policies must include family leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, leave for adoption of a child, child-care leave, and professional leave. The Association believes that sexism and sex discrimination must be eliminated and endorses the use of nonsexist language.
New I. Freedom of Religion. The Association opposes federal or state legislation or other mandates that would require school districts to schedule a moment of silence. The Association particularly opposes a moment of silence as a condition for receiving federal, state, or other funds.

Little toddlers can get into this vehicle without climbing. It is not a toy for them to run with foot power, it is more like a stroller for giving your tot a ride. It has a seat belt, push bar, and a storage compartment up front for treasures. Tested far better than Step 2's other ride-ons such as the Basket Ride-On ($21.99), a low-to-the-ground red three-wheeler with a big yellow basket for treasures. Testers found its lack of steering a drawback. Step 2's red Motorcycle ($21.99) was not balanced enough for toddlers and the small red Classy Cruiser ($34.99) was too difficult for young riders to get in and out of�and too small for older riders.

Jewish Immigrants and American Capitalism, 1880-1920: From Caste to Class

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0521730236, Paperback)Eli Lederhendler's Jewish Immigrants and American Capitalism, 1880-1920: From Caste to Class reexamines the immigration of Russian Jews to the United States around the turn of the 20th century - a group that accounted for 10 to 15 percent of immigrants to the United States between 1899 and 1920 - challenging and revising common assumptions concerning the ease of their initial adaptation and image as a "model" immigrant minority. Lederhendler demonstrates that the characteristics for which Jewish immigrants are commonly known - their industriousness, "middle-class" domestic habits, and political sympathy for the working class - were, in fact, developed in response to their new situation in the United States. This experience realigned Jewish social values and restored to these immigrants a sense of status, honor, and a novel kind of social belonging, and with it the "social capital" needed to establish a community quite different from the ones they came from.

History of Classic Harbor Line
Scarano Boat Building designed and built the schooner Adirondack in 1994 for, Sailing Excursions Inc, a day sail operation in Newport, RI, primarily owned by the Scarano family. In 1999 the Scarano family formed another company, Chelsea Excursions, LLC, to operate a second schooner in New York Harbor. Although very similar in size, the layout of Adirondack was more practical for the NY operation and the Adirondack II layout made more sense for the Newport operation. The two entities essentially traded boats and Adirondack began its first full year of operation in New York Harbor in 2000.
Because of the increase in sales every year since 1999 it was decided in 2004 to expand the NY operation with another boat. While maintaining the character and elegance of Adirondack, Scarano Boat designed and built a powerboat based on the commuter yachts of the early 20th century to be the second boat in New York. Manhattan was put into service in March, 2005. At that point a name change took place; the larger operation became Classic Harbor Line, anticipating the addition of more period style boats being added to the small fleet. In June of 2007, Classic Harbor Line truly became a fleet when their 3rd vessel, the schooner Imagine, was acquired for operation in NYC. Imagine was a schooner previously built by Scarano Boat and had been operated by a separate company in Baltimore, MD up until then. Imagine is now known as Adirondack III.
During the fall of 2008, Classic Harbor Line made the decision to open up a schooner sailing operation in Key West, Florida. This operation would employ the schooner Adirondack II November through April, 2008-2010. In the fall of 2010 a decision to keep Adirondack III in Key West year round was made.
Scarano Boat Building is also responsible for building Key West's former pride, Schooner AmericA.
During the winter of 2009, Scarano Boat Building started the construction of Schooner America 2.0. In 2011 America 2.0 began her operation in NYC and at the end of the season she headed down to Key West, FL. America 2.0 splits her season between NYC (May through October) and Key West FL (October through April). America 2.0 is a "green" boat featuring electric propulsion, carbon fiber rigging, and extremely light hull materials. She is certified for 75 guests.
In 2012 the yacht Beacon, formerly operating in NYC, was upgraded to a high-end water sports yacht for the Key West operation. She arrived in Key West in December of 2012 and began her first season as the first boat in Classic Harbor Line to offer in-water activities. The decision was made to keep Beacon in Key West year round.
We are excited to announce Adirondack III will start up operation in the newest Location of Classic Harbor Line; Boston, Massachusetts. Schooner Adirondack III will operate from May through October at Rowes Wharf.
Construction of Yacht Kingston is currently underway at Scarano Boats. Yacht Kingston will operate out of NYC with all the charm that has become synonymous with Scarano boats and Classic Harbor Line. She will be 54 feet over all and able to accommodate up to 49 passengers.

SUNY Oneonta to Host Master Teacher Program
The State University of New York has selected SUNY Oneonta as one of six campuses to host the second round of the New York's Master Teacher Program. The initiative identifies, rewards and supports teachers as professional mentors and content experts. It aims to help outstanding science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) educators in grades 6-12 develop skills that will ensure New York's students are college and career ready.
Dr. Richard Lee, interim dean of the School of Education and Human Ecology, said that selection as a Master Teacher site recognizes the quality of SUNY Oneonta's teacher education programs.
"This is a great honor for our campus and our faculty at a time when, more than ever, we need well prepared teachers and we need to recognize teachers doing superb work in their fields," said Lee. "We look forward to welcoming excellent teachers across our region to SUNY Oneonta as master teacher fellows."
SUNY Oneonta is the Master Teacher Program site for the Mohawk Valley region. The Master Teacher Program is competitive and open to certified, New York state teachers who have four or more years of experience teaching in STEM disciplines, currently teach a course load of at least 60 percent STEM classes in grades 6-12, and are rated "effective" or "highly effective." Those accepted into the four-year program will receive a $15,000 stipend annually.
The application period will begin Nov. 1 and extend through Jan. 3, 2014. Additional information about the program is available at http://www.suny.edu/masterteacher/.

5) To see your document in a different language, select "Active Translation" and then Preview your document.
6) If you want to send your text files to a translator, don't forget to push Update Translations to ensure that the latest text from your template is extracted in the translation files.

Ford F-150 Going Propane In 2014
What do we think of when the word propane is mentioned? Usually gas grills, stoves and heating your home come to mind. But now, the 2014 Ford F-150 will offer liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) as fuel options.
Thanks to our friends at Top Speed, we can bring you interesting tidbits as this.
The 3.7-liter V-6 engine in the truck will be modified with a gaseous-fuel prep package containing hardened valves, valve seats, pistons, and rings, to handle the extra heat generated by the fuel. It will cost an additional $315 to have the package installed. However, this fuel option won't come from the factory; instead, the customer will take the truck with the modified engine to a Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier for the installation of the fuel system.
The conversion cost is estimated to be between $7,500 and $9,500, depending on the size of fuel tank installed. You might be thinking, wow that's expensive! But figure the current price per gallon of gas at around $3.67, compared to the average price of CNG at $2.11, and even in some areas it's around $1; it will pay for itself very quickly.
Ford has estimated the F-150 will go up to 750 miles on a tank of CNG. I have had two F-150s and the most I ever could muster is around 325; quite a difference. With this option, the F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup capable of using CNG or LPG for fuel. Ford plans on making the conversion on eight more commercial vehicles within the next year.
- Transit Connect van and wagon
- Transit van, wagon, cutaway and chassis cab
- E-Series van, wagon, cutaway and stripped chassis
- F-Series Super Duty pickup and F-350 chassis cab
- F-Series Super Duty chassis cab (F-450, F-550)
- F-650 medium-duty truck
- F53 and F59 stripped chassis
- 2014 F-150 light-duty pickup
In a press release, Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager said, "Businesses and fleet customers have been asking Ford to make F-150 available with CNG capability to take advantage of the fuel's low price and clean emissions. With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months."
The specifications and performance of the F-150's conversion to the new fuel have not been released as of yet.
Since 2009, Ford has had this option on the larger trucks, and has the honor of being the leader in CNG and LPG prepped sales. This year more than 15,000 will be sold; that is 25 percent more than 2012.
AT&T recently purchased 650 F-350 trucks with the CNG option. "We're almost halfway to our company-wide goal of deploying 15,000 alternative-fuel vehicles by the end of year 2018," said Jerome Webber, AT&T vice president, global fleet operations. "Vehicles such as CNG F-350s from Ford have helped us avoid purchasing 7.7 million gallons of gasoline over the past five years while reducing our fleet's emissions."
The compressed gas has a pressure of approximately 3,600 psi and is composed of mainly methane. In the US, about 85 percent of all CNG used is produced domestically. It burns cleaner and has been certified by the Environmental Protection Agency to have up to 30 percent less greenhouse gas emissions.

Sea To Summit Ultra-Mesh Stuff SackView Larger Image
Use the Sea To Summit Ultra-Mesh Stuff Sack for backpacking, travel, or storage at the house. It's light enough to haul around in a pack and the mesh construction makes it easy to see what's inside.
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Good mesh bag, super lightweight
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have the XS, used it for my toiletries. The bag seemed pretty durably however the stitching gave out on my 3rd day in Peru.
Contacted Sea to Summit and submitted a photo of the bag and the faulty stitching, said they would cover it under warranty.
Travel organizer is the key words
Don't count on this bag to be burly netting. But if you need a thin light mesh bag this one is good. Great for organizing in a bag or hanging; somewhere it won't get thrown around. Looks great, stretches/compresses well, strong for holding stuff but not for abrasions, excellent ventilation!

Happy Thanksgiving to all from "Deadfall."
That's "Deadfall," the movie that lays before the viewer a bountiful feast of violent death. Death by car crash, death by shotgun blast, death by pistol shot, death by rifle round. Death by beating and barbed wire — Owie! — and blade to the gizzard.
Set on Turkey Day and the day before in dead-of-winter Michigan, "Deadfall" serves up death deeply chilled, with a heaping helping of blizzard-driven snow on top.
It's sort of like "Fargo," only with a higher body count and without the wood chipper.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more
Most Read Stories
Meting out most of the mayhem is Eric Bana. Playing a robber with a serious serial- killer streak, he politely begs the pardon of his first victim before blowing the poor fellow to kingdom come, and later presents himself as a kindly and well-intentioned angel of death to a terrified family. Add to that the fact that the character harbors barely sublimated incestuous feelings for his sister (Olivia Wilde), a sexy temptress who's his partner in crime, and you've got a truly lovely individual.
Ah, but they're all lovely individuals in "Deadfall," peachy people with big-time family issues. Abusive father figures abound. See a satanic stepfather terrorize his wife and her small children. Hear a domineering dad heap sexist verbal abuse on his grown-up daughter.
Then there's the sullen son (Charlie Hunnam), who resents the heck out of his grouchy dad (Kris Kristofferson), a former lawman whose rigid moral code somehow pushed the rebellious boy into lawless behavior that landed the lad in the slammer. Recently released from custody, the young fellow quickly finds himself on the run from the authorities again and soon is entangled in the wiles of the killer's sexy sis. At the end, everyone meets up for the most miserable Thanksgiving dinner ever.
The picture does have good actors in it, particularly Sissy Spacek who plays the Hunnam character's mom (she's one of the few sympathetic characters in the picture), and Bana, whose killer is queasily menacing.
But Zach Dean's drearily downbeat screenplay, Stefan Ruzowitzky's unremarkable direction, the deep-frozen production design of Paul Denham Austerberry and the bleak cinematography of Shane Hurlbut combine to make "Deadfall" a holiday turkey that's tough to choke down.

ABC Family Promos Batman Begins, Pretty Much Misses The Entire Point
ABC Family butchers a promotion for Batman Begins in pretty remarkable fashion.
"He fights for family. And lives for love."
I counted them, 10 shots of either Christian Bale or Katie Holmes smiling. And it's too bad that whip crack with the Batmobile wasn't in the actual movie.
Given the 200 million it made domestically I doubt there will be too many families unaware that Batman Begins is hardly a romantic comedy but you gotta give ABC credit for trying really hard.

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] [Fwd: Re: Configure OpenMPIand SLURMon Debian (Lenny)]
From: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres_at_[hidden])
Date: 2009-04-03 09:20:20
What George is saying is that OMPI has two different systems that use
sockets: the BTL (MPI communications) and the OOB (OMPI's internal
management communications).
We've been talking about the TCP BTL parameters over the rest of this
For the TCP OOB, it looks like the parameter name is
"oob_tcp_static_ports". I think it takes a comma-delimited list of
ports. You can probably specify, say, 10000 for btl_tcp_port_min_v4
and 9000 for oob_tcp_static_ports. For example:
mpirun --mca oob_tcp_static_ports 9000 --mca oob_tcp_static_ports
10000 --mca btl tcp,self ring
If you don't want to put those two variables on every mpirun command,
you can set them in your environment, put them in your personal params
file, or in the master params file. Just make sure that those files
are either the same on all nodes or visible on all nodes. :-)

Keith Cowing: Last week I posted a story about a humorous way in which friends I made during my stay at Everest Base Camp repaid their debts. I loaned a memory card to Matt Green and Jamie Berry, two camera guys from Tigress Productions, in exchange for two cans of shandy (details below). Well, Matt only sent me one can of Fentimans Shandy. I put all of this into an article titled "Partial Payback Of An Everest Debt".
Barely and hour or so after the article went online I got an email from Geoff at Fentimans offering to make good on Matt's debt. I sent him my address and promptly forgot about it. This morning the Fedex guy was knocking on my door early. At first, I could not recall what I or my wife might have ordered. Then I saw the word "international" on the shipping form plus the customs documents.
Inside was a four pack of Fentimans Shandy. Not only has the debt been repaid, but with interest as well!
Original article.
Keith Cowing: I have spent a lot of time with computers and cameras in comms tents in cold miserable places - three times on Devon Island and more recently at Everest Base Camp. Usually, you establish a professional working relationship with the folks you'll be working with in close proximity. Some times you make friends in the process. I have to say that the process was near instantaneous this year at Everest.
Within moments of walking into the Comms then at IMG Base Camp the folks with Tigress Productions dragged me into their family. I was at Everest, in part, as a blogger/web media guy for Discovery Channel while also covering Scott Parazynski's Everest bid. The Tigress team was shooting the latest of their "Everest to the Limit" series for Discovery Channel with Scott as one of the featured climbers. They are a mix of Brits with an Aussie and a Scott thrown in for good (?) measure. Not being a shrinking violet when it comes to joking around I seem to have fit in perfectly with this lot.
One afternoon IMG's Eric Simonson came to get me in the Comms tent. Most of the Tigress team was either at another base camp or up on Everest. Matt Green and Jamie Berry were calling me on the radio. I think they were at Camp II at that point. They had a problem storing all of the audio that they were recording and needed some help in getting additional storage sent up. After checking a few specs out I came up with two solutions. One was to send Scott's Macbook up such that they could drag the file (very large) onto his hard drive. The other was to send a 32 GB CF card I had to put in their electronics to store the files.
As was usually the case with Matt, Jamie and others at Tigress there was a lot of teasing woven into this conversation. Nothing was ever simple - not even a routine request. After I agreed to help them out I cautioned them that they both "owed me a beer". They resisted that suggestion with Matt stating in a Monty Python sort of way that I could "only handle a Shandy". So, I agreed to their counter offer (reluctantly).
Scott and I departed Everest Base Camp before the Tigress folks were done working - so they held onto my CF card. They eventually sent it to me from the UK. But I still demanded my shandies for services rendered. That was a few weeks ago.
Well, today a box arrived from the UK. The customs sticker said "beverage". Inside was a single can of Fentimans "full-bodied Shandy" that is "traditionally brewed" with "more beer - less fizz". Alas, I specifically requested a beverage from both Jamie and Matt. So I guess I will simply have to go over there and hunt them down for the other can.

Wednesday Afternoon News, January 15
Justice Cady Delivers "Condition Of The Judiciary" Address
(Des Moines) -- The chief justice of the Iowa Supreme Court is asking legislators to set aside two-million dollars to provide a four-and-a-half percent salary hike for Iowa judges and magistrates. Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady (KAY-dee) delivered the annual "Condition of the Judiciary" address to legislators and the governor today (Wednesday) in Des Moines.
Listen to
Iowa judges and magistrates went five years without a pay boost, until last year when legislators provided them a four-and-a-half percent salary increase.
Listen to
Representative Gary Worthan (WER-thun), a Republican from Storm Lake, is co-chair of the panel that drafts the budget for the judicial branch. He says not only did judges go without salary hikes, some openings on the bench went unfilled to plug other holes in the budget during those five years.
Listen to
The Iowa Supreme Court's chief justice is seeking an overall budget increase of three-point-seven percent for the judicial branch.
Listen to
For the past four years, many clerk of court offices were periodically.
Sioux City Cuts $4 Million From City Budget Due To Red-Light Cameras May Disappear
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Sioux City officials are cutting $4 million in traffic camera funding from the city's budget, under the assumption the state won't allow placement of two cameras along Interstate 29.
Only about $100,000 from the city's red-light cameras is in the proposed fiscal year 2015 budget released Tuesday.
The Iowa Transportation Commission recently approved new rules over who controls speed and red-light cameras on state-supervised highways and interstates. The regulations still need to go through a public hearing.
The city may need to raise property taxes to cover the loss. They may also increase fees, make funding cuts or implement layoffs. Mayor Bob Scott says the proposed tax hike is a worst-case scenario, and officials will try to come up with other options.
Congressman Braley Wants USDA To Help Fight Emerald Ash Borer
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley says Iowa needs help protecting trees from the spread of emerald ash borer.
Braley on Wednesday sent a letter to US Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, asking him to provide resources to Iowa and other states dealing with this beetle.
Emerald ash borer is an invasive beetle that kills ash trees. Iowa has put part of the state under quarantine in an attempt to slow the spread of the infestation.
There are over three million ash trees in the state of Iowa.
In his letter, Braley says that cities and counties can't easily afford to fight this infestation alone. He says the federal government should act quickly, before there is more damage.
Jury Selection Resumes For 1974 Murder
OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) - Jury selection has resumed for a second day at the trial of a man charged with killing a teenage girl in an Iowa farmhouse in 1974.
Robert "Gene" Pilcher is charged in the slaying of 17-year-old Mary Jayne Jones, who was found naked and shot to death in the farmhouse outside Ottumwa.
The case went unsolved for decades. Investigators arrested Pilcher in 2012 after additional testing discovered his DNA on the sheets of the bed where Mary Jayne was found.
Pilcher's defense claims the DNA material is from another sexual encounter he had in the home, which was owned by his cousin.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers met privately for hours before jury selection resumed Wednesday afternoon. They're trying to select a 12-person jury out of a pool of 35.
