ROCHESTER — The guest presenter at the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce's Economic Update Breakfast on Tuesday morning was Brian Gottlob of PolEcon Research. He was not the bearer of great, or even particularly good tidings to an audience that included a strong contingent of bankers and realtors, as well as public officials.
"Is New Hampshire doing better than most states? No we aren't," said Gottlob, via a PowerPoint slide at the start of his talk. He went on to show graphs and tables of national economic trends that underpinned his case. "We have gone from a leader to a laggard," he said, asserting that the high cost of living in New Hampshire, coupled with few job opportunities "is a bad combination."
Regionally, according to Gottlob, there is better news, because economic competitiveness, activity and innovation is shifting from the Manchester and Nashua areas to the Seacoast.
"Can Rochester participate?" he then asked, adding that the international industrial company Safran is moving to Rochester, with the prospect of 500 skilled job.
"That is prototypical of what the future needs to be. Can you build on that?" he inquired.
He then went on to show slides that illustrated that NH job creation was good in the 1990s, average in the early 2000s and fairly dismal in recent years, particularly since the recession was officially declared to be over.
Gottlob said it used to be a sport to deride Massachusetts.
"But now Massachusetts has the strongest employment growth in the region. New Hampshire is near the bottom," said Gottlob, showing a state-by-state table of job creation.
He said there is a correlation between house prices on one hand and job creation and population growth on the other.
"I apologize to realtors in the audience, but New Hampshire is third last in over-the-year-price appreciation," Gottlob said.
He then revealed a ray of good news by noting that layoffs have declined, although hiring hasn't started.
"The bleeding has stopped, but we need a transfusion," he said.
One of Gottlob's economic tracking sources is the number of help wanted ads, and he has noticed an increased demand for skilled blue collar workers, a demand that is not being met, and which may be holding back hiring in some cases.
"Brains are the most viable commodity in the 21st century," he said, asserting that they are the key to Rochester's and the Seacoast's economic success.
He touched on economic predictions by analysts in the Philadelphia Federal Reserve and Moody's, both of which are predicting slower than the national average growth for New Hampshire.
His own company,PolEcon, estimates there may be a net gain of fewer that 5,000 jobs in New Hampshire in 2013, which is below one percent growth.
Gottlob said that small businesses were tending not to hire, and whereas previously this had been attributed to a lack of sales or a shortage of available credit, now it seems to be a lack of confidence.
"In a high cost of living state, that is a concern," he said.
Shifting his focus to the Seacoast area, Gottlob noted that Dover had grown about 11 percent over the past decade, while Rochester recorded less that half of that number. More importantly, Rochester is attracting a lower number of people with at least a bachelor's degree, than are Portsmouth, Dover, and, to the surprise of some, Somersworth.
"Rochester can have a good workforce by capturing (people) from other markets," he said, before dropping another fact — the number of Rochester households comprising families with children declined about 10 percent over the decade, while Dover's actually increased by a similar percent.
"Rochester was hit very hard in the recession, and it is slow to rebound," said Gottlob, suggesting that the city had to attract more educated double-wage earning families ... people who place a value on social and cultural amenities.
"You have to capitalize on Safran," he told the audience.
Frisbie CEO Al Felgar said the assertion of a shortage of skilled blue collar workers in the labor force does not fit well with the claim that Rochester needs more residents with college degrees.
"I agree with Al," said Realtor Bill Cormier. "He (Gottlob) said skills were important and then he tended to disparage people without a college education."
Cormier said that Rochester's population will grow as part of the Portsmouth-Dover-Rochester cycle, as people move north to find affordable homes. He noted that Hourihane & Cormier had sold several higher end Rochester homes in recent months to Portsmouth people seeking good value.
"Safran will bring jobs and all kinds of feeder companies will bring more jobs," Cormier predicted.
Rochester's Director of Planning Kenn Ortmann thinks that need for skilled blue collar workers and the desirability of attracting more people with college degrees are not mutually exclusive.
"What I found interesting was Brian's perspective from 20,000 feet up. We have lots on individual projects... Albany-Safran, Rochester Crossing filling up, the development on Route 11 — all things we can feel excited about. Brian was taking a bigger picture and looking at things that are not so rosy. He was saying there is a correlation between education and income levels. We have to look very carefully at our master plan, and have features like parks and recreation, entertainment, hiking trails; things for the health and vitality of the community," said Ortmann.
City Council Sandra Keans, who was also at the breakfast forum, said of Gottlob, "He probably has his facts and figures straight, but the council is doing a good job with our infrastructure, and also with helping displaced workers. The city could do a better job with the cultural and other aspects of our master plan. We need more amenities to give people something to do and attract them to live here."

On the game:
"Once you get to the final 16 all teams are real quality teams, and that's what we saw out there today, two great teams. A little bit difference in style, obviously one west coast and one east coast, but that's what it's all about this time of year. You see the unknown, you see another great team that you typically don't get to see and you put your best foot forward. I think that's what both teams did today, which obviously ended up being a close game and a game that in my opinion either team could have won."
On the BC gameplan:
"We're real confident in our ability to defend, and we've had 13 shutouts this year, so once we get up on a team it gives us certainly a lot of confidence. We got a lot of information on Santa Clara, knew they were going to attack in higher positions with their outside backs, which then leaves them somewhat vulnerable with just two in the back, so we tried to get balls forward and up early in transition to our forwards and run at them a little bit. I think we found some success and we put their center backs under a little bit of pressure and disrupted them a little out of their style of play."
On the second half performance:
"I think our success came when we possessed the ball, we connected and got it wide when their outside backs were high. I think we were trying to settle down, slow down the tempo, they were coming at us pretty hard so we tried to slow it down and possess the ball and attack in transition."
SANTA CLARA HEAD COACH Jerry Smith:
On the game:
"That's as hard as we've hard to work in a game all year. We played Notre Dame this year, we played, UCLA and Portland but that's as hard as we've had to play all year. I thought we came out well in the second half, came out aggressively, earned a couple of goals and then kind of hung on at the end of the game. But, very, very difficult to come back in an NCAA playoff game, and we were able to do that today and I'm very proud of my team for being able to do that."
On second-half adjustments:
"I think my exact words were, `If we don't do anything else, let's be the more aggressive team in the second half.' And I really felt like that was the difference in the game. At Santa Clara we pride ourselves on being skillful, smart soccer players and I think almost to a fault sometimes. But, to the credit of our players, they played a very athletic, well-organized BC team and we were the more aggressive team in the second-half today."
"Part of being an aggressive team is off-the-ball movement. I thought our mobility and energy in the second half created some space for our team to play a little better."
SANTA CLARA DEFENDER Micaela Esquivel:
On second half adjustments:
"I think it was just the halftime talk and the fact that we had 45 minutes to make a change in the game otherwise our season would end. I think what changed that was our mental state, there was more determination, more aggressiveness, more heart and it wasn't that they changed their marking but we made more space for ourselves, we wanted the ball more. I think the difference for me in the second half was that I actually went at players and the rest of our team was going at Boston College instead of allowing them to come at us."

A day of exploration
Columbus State student David Kopechek leads a group of high school students and parents on a tour of the Columbus State campus October 19, on Explore Columbus State day. The Admissions Department coordinated a special visit day last Friday while students had the day off from school for Central Ohio Teachers Association (COTA) day. Students and their families heard about academic majors and programs, student support resources, information about applying for admission, financial aid and scholarships, and took a tour of the Columbus Campus. A similar event was held at the Delaware Campus.
Third annual food drive kicks off Tues. at Delaware Campus
Following a successful and coordinated food drive the past couple of years, Columbus State and OSU Marion are partnering again on the community project. "More than 1,200 food items were collected last year and we hope to build on that," said Dr. Rick Bartlett, professor in Business Management and one of the organizers or the food drive.
A collection table will be set up inside the entrance of Moeller Hall on the campus so that anyone in the community can make a donation. All items will be delivered to People In Need, Inc. of Delaware County in early December. The food drive kicks off on Tuesday, October 30 at noon in the lobby of Moeller Hall.
Non-perishable food items can be dropped off at the Delaware Campus up until 5:00 p.m. on November 30.
Nina Reese to retire Oct. 31
Nina Reese, supervisor of the Telephone Information Center, will retire after 30 years of service on Wednesday, October 31. The campus community is invited to wish her well at a retirement reception in the Conference Center Ballroom, WD fourth floor, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Missed the presidential debates?
If you missed one or more of the presidential or the vice-presidential debates, come to the Library on Friday, November 2 to watch every single debate rebroadcast in the Media Studio!
Students, faculty, staff and community members are all invited to stop by the Library, starting at 9:00 a.m. with the first debate. "They will continue chronologically through all of the debates until about 3:00 p.m. The goal is to keep the event nonpartisan and fun," says Frank Neutzling, Multimedia Support Department.
Minor publishes journal article on standards of living
Mathematics professor Darrell Minor had an article published in the Fall 2012 issue of the National Education Association (NEA) higher education journal Thought and Action. In "Poverty, Productivity, and Public Health: The Effects of 'Right to Work' Laws on Key Standards of Living," Minor points out that most studies that have been conducted on the potential economic impact of right-to-work laws have tried to compare individual compensation levels between right-to-work states and worker-friendly states, and have found mixed results. He argues that, because of varying cost-of-living indices among and within the states, compensation is not an adequate measure for such laws.
Using data from the 2010 census, he looked at seven other commonly-used measures of "standard of living", and found statistically significant correlations for four of them. All four of these measures (poverty rates, per capita GDP rates, health insurance rates, and life expectancy rates) favored the worker-friendly states over the right-to-work states. This snapshot data suggests that these four measures should be included in additional studies that search specifically for causal relationships between right-to-work laws and standard of living measures.
Due to a recent phishing attempt made against the campus, it's a good time to remind everyone that Columbus State will never email or call you asking for your network account information (especially passwords). We had a few people respond with their network user name and password. This resulted in over 40,000 fraudulent emails being sent from our email server and our ability to send email temporarily suspended. This also applies to the companies you do business with outside of the college (your internet service provider, Best Buy, Target, your bank, etc.). If you receive a phone call or email asking for this information, do not provide it.
If you have any questions about possible fraudulent email or phone calls, feel free to send Rob Clifford an email or call him at ext. 3686.

The Lezyne alloy drive looks very smart indeed. It's CNC machined from 7075 aluminium which makes for a high quality feel, and has some really nice design touches; it works on both Schrader and Presta valves, you can keep your cartridge in the body without risk of accidental puncturing and airflow can be controlled. At 100grams is not as light as some but certainly no heavyweight either. It takes any 16g threaded cartridge.
The design of the body is such that you can store a cartridge the wrong way up inside the CO2 pump which is a nice feature; it means the bulk of this pump is not so significant as you need to take at least one cartridge anyway. The head has a twin thread design which means it screws on to both Schrader and Presta valves.
Using the Lezyne alloy drive is really straightforward: unscrew body, take cartridge and screw into head, screw body on again, screw head onto valve, press and tyre is rockhard in seconds.
I'm always a bit apprehensive with CO2 pumps, pressurized containers scare me a little. The Lezyne alloy drive takes a lot of that apprehension away. It's easy to screw the cartridge in to the head and it feels very secure. Absolutely no air escapes until you press the head onto the valve.
The body does a reasonably good job at keeping the cold from your hand. You can feel the body getting colder but I had absolutely no problems using it with bare hands. The only slight issue I had is when you unscrew the head, the rubber still grips the valve quite tightly. In a nervy race situation I could see the potential for a ripped valve.
A well made, smart looking and easy to use CO2 pump

A few days before the election, my girls watched Cinderella – again. Not the old school animated version, but the newer Kenneth Branagh film. I'm not a fairytale princess hater, but I don't much like the messaging of these stories: distraught girl endures hardship, gives up everything or patiently awaits – sometimes while in a deep sleep – for a prince of some sort to rescue her. I've lectured my girls on the lack of strong female role models in these tales and I'm pretty sure they get it. All three of them are outspoken and confident, hard workers, considerate thinkers and leaders in their own way. Still, they like a good fairytale every once in a while, especially one featuring a dashing prince (Richard Madden anyone?).
When we first saw Cinderella in theaters, I was pissed. I wanted an updated version of the story, a subversive Cinderella who might have spit in her stepmother's tea or "accidentally" ruined her stepsister's hair with a too hot curling iron. Instead we got the same sweet girl of yore, stung by the cruelty of those around her but unwilling or unable to summon the pluck to change her circumstance. She endured her life with the words of her dying mother constantly floating through her head: "Have courage and be kind." Really? If it were me, I would have put Nair in the evil stepsisters' hair while they slept, let the mice wreak havoc on the stepmother, swiped all the silver and high-tailed it to the next kingdom over.
But this is not what Cinderella does. She does not abandon her home or the life she once knew.
She stays.
Today, we woke to the definitive news that Donald J. Trump is our president-elect. I did not vote for him and like many of us who are with Hillary Clinton, I am devastated, confused and scared. I'm anxious about the Big Picture because I do not know what Trump's policies are on anything other than he's hell-bent on dismantling what we have. I am worried about the divisiveness that Trump's campaign uncovered. We cannot argue that racism, misogyny, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and many other dangerous "isms" were ever gone from our democracy. They have been there all along, humming in the wings, waiting for their cue to tap dance gleefully on stage. Trump didn't create these biases; he simply opened the door for them to emerge in all their hateful glory.
It's terrifying and there's a very real part of me that wants to pack my bags, grab my girls, my husband and the dog and get the hell out of here.
But I will not.
Instead – and I can't believe I'm about to quote a fairytale princess here – I will have courage and be kind. I don't know what's ahead of us with a Trump presidency, but I do know that what I believe in has not wavered: equal and civil rights for all, access to education, healthcare, housing, affordable childcare and economic opportunity for all, no matter race, sexual orientation, religion or gender, red state or blue.
I know I am not alone in this. I know there's an entire #PantsuitNation with me but more than that, there's a huge chunk of this country yearning for the same. I refuse to believe that every American who voted for Trump hates women or wants to send every immigrant packing. I do not believe that they're all racist and homophobic. Numbers of them are, yes – we saw that without a doubt during the campaign – but not all of them, and I have to believe not the majority of them.
What I do believe is that millions of people in this country have felt disenfranchised for a very long time. They've lost their jobs or are living close to the poverty line. They still can't afford healthcare or three meals a day, to buy a house or to send their kids to good, safe schools. They have been living scared and angry for years. Jumping on the Trump bandwagon may have seemed like the only way out and maybe the good people who voted for him did so despite his abominable rhetoric. To me, that seems like a scream for change, an extreme plea to be seen and heard.
I live in a bubble here on the sunny, liberal west coast of America. I am white and privileged, both economically and socially. I have both college and graduate degrees. My children go to private school. I have a beautiful house, plenty of healthy food and good healthcare. I live in an area that is, for the most part, tolerant of race, religion, gender and sexual orientation. This is my circumstance. I am lucky to have been born into it and luckier still to have the means to maintain it. I don't apologize for it – it is what it is – but for the first time ever, as I sit at my desk in utter disbelief, I realize that I have been severely out of touch with the rest of this great nation. I had no idea how furious people were and that their fury would translate into hate or worse, the election of an intemperate, entirely inexperienced, vitriolic, former reality-TV star as president.
I am scared and sad and sorry. I am worried about my daughters and neighbors and friends. I fear that a great wave of Conservatism will sweep over this country in the next four years, making it a place where I no longer feel comfortable living. The possibility is real, but just like Cinderella, I can hack it. I won't abandon my home. I want to stay, dig in and help goodness take root in a real and concrete way. I want to reach out to the people around me, help where I can, listen with compassion, stand up for what I believe in and show my girls how to do the same.
I will have courage and be kind because no matter what, together we are stronger.
What will you do?
This has been a Finish the Sentence Friday post, with this week's sentence being: "When it comes to the unexpected or to change…"

BEIJING, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GC-Rise Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, in which European healthcare venture capital firm INVENTAGES holds a majority stake, attracted the attention of investors at the annual China Healthcare Investment Conference in Shanghai.

The company also initiated the country's first GYN/OB Physician Award in China joining hands with China Physician Association in 2012.
China Health Care Investment Conference is organized by a group of investors including KPCB, Fidelity Asia Ventures, Vivo Ventures and Piper Jaffray . The group is committed to turn this meeting into a powerful platform to promote and nurture the Chinese healthcare investment ecosystem and further develop the industry.

Simplified Living in an Elegant California Home
In the most traditional of houses, a Los Angeles designer embraces a new attitude
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 17
Toss the visual clutter to achieve a simplified, more peaceful life. That's the advice often recommended to clients by experts in the field of interior design.
Why? Because the concept does, in fact, work. Just ask Janis and Jeffrey Susskind. In their traditional Brentwood, California, home they started with formal rooms full of saturated palettes and pretty floral and toile fabrics that offered a mass of visual treats. It was a picture of loveliness—but not a simple canvas. Years of art collecting directed the couple toward a new and updated aesthetic: a neutral palette and contemporary furnishings that would flatter the Susskinds' assemblage of fine art.
Enter Beverly Hills interior designer Natasha Baradaran. Her well-curated selections made the interior scheme fall into place. A simple ivory base provides a classic backdrop for a roster of interesting textures and shapely furniture that matches the artistic qualities of the artwork on the walls.
"Their style has evolved into a transitional look," says Baradaran. "They wanted to balance the architecture with clean-lined pieces to create spaces that appeared collected instead of over-designed.
In the living room, Baradaran applied a gray-green hemp material to the walls, enhancing the light that gleams through the windows. Other textural fabrics—chenille on the sofa, mohair on the ottoman, and silk-linen on the armchairs—add to the interplay of light and shadow. Architecturally, the fireplace is the room's focal point, but a vignette in the back of the room impresses with a David Hockney lithograph and a faceted object by sculptor Ken Price.
On the other hand, the dining room was a lesson in tension established by existing antique pieces and new contemporary forms. An antique Georgian dining table and sideboard, both purchased in New Orleans, are anchored by a Persian rug. The modern silhouette of new dining chairs and a cloisonné bowl by Robert Kuo offer interesting contrasts.
In the kitchen, the Susskinds ordered a comprehensive renovation that would retain the existing skylights but outfit the space with all-new components. "They wanted this space to hint at those glossy Italian kitchens," explains Baradaran. "I used white because it implies clean and then added retro lighting, flat drawer fronts, and modern hardware that made the area sleek while still maintaining the same warmth that emerges from the other rooms."
For the family room, the Susskinds needed a large sectional for times when the family gathers to watch TV or a movie, but they didn't want it to be in a light color. Baradaran found a low-profile piece upholstered in neutral gray, a color that offers more visual weight. Red accents thrust additional fashionable color into the room.
Once bathed in red-and-white toile, the master bedroom was reimagined as a serene oasis. Baradaran applied wallpaper patterned in lavender and blue blossoms on the wall behind the bed and installed coordinating color-block drapery panels.
Although the total transformation was bigger than they initially anticipated, the Susskinds are happy with the metamorphosis of their home's interior spaces.
"I'm not sure that, at the onset of the project, we envisioned as much of a change as actually occurred," says Janis. "But once we saw the results of Natasha's initial work—being able to incorporate favorite antique pieces into a contemporary environment that would enhance our artwork—we were so pleased."

Generally, Perfume 2017 in South Africa one essential thing that most people will think about to be the most precious thing is women's fragrance. Let's see that every woman will have one of several types of fragrances such as cologne, perfume, or even eau de toilette. This is because women's fragrance is the thing that is useful to groom women.
These days, there are various types of women's fragrances that you can choose from Women's Perfume Brands. There are some fragrances produced by popular designers or that are named after celebrities. As there is many selections offered, getting the right fragrance that will meet your personality will not be difficult. You may want to have more than one as your collection. This is great and fun for you.
A Short History of Women's Fragrances
The first women's fragrances wore by Nefertiti and Cleopatra of Egypt. A long time ago, perfumes were basically a symbol of status and respect.
Selecting the Perfect Fragrance
Finding women's fragrances aren't tricky as there are many choices for fragrances these days.
Nowadays, the Vera Wang fragrance for women won the votes of many because of its sweet aromatic smell that is ideal for both acidic and non-acidic skin. This women's fragrance can be a good selection for your perfect perfume favorites.
The Numerous Families of Any Fragrance for Women
There are six various families that a womens fragrance possesses. They are floral, fresh, oriental, fruity, chypre, and foody. Depending on women preferences, Nice Womens Perfume they can choose from these varieties. Keep in mind on how to opt for your fragrances so that you will be very easy to get and purchase the products that will meet your requirements.
Perfume 2017 in South Africa?
Sometimes women wonder why their most favorite perfume scent doesn't last on their skin all day or all evening. It's because women's fragrances are divided into several categories, and each category has a specific potency for that fragrance.
When you want to apply the most potent and intensive fragrance to the pulse points on your skin, then you will choose a scent that is described as a perfume.
When a woman's fragrance is applied to a pulse point on the body, it is said to make the scent last longer. Pulse points are located on the inside crick of your arm, behind your knee, behind your ear, on the inside of your wrist, or in your throat area.
The next longest lasting fragrance is called eau de parfum, which when translated from the French, is a watered version of the perfume. Next comes eau de toilette, and then eau de cologne.
A fragrance will last longer on your skin when it contains higher amounts of the main fragrance's essential oils. In addition, the longer that fragrance lasts, the more expensive it is.
In eau de cologne, you will find approximately four percent of the perfume's essential oils that make up the fragrance. The fragrance will normally last between three and five hours. The eau de toilette contains approximately eight to fifteen percent essential oils. These fragrances are the least concentrated, which means that you can count on them lasting for approximately only two hours.
At the high end of the fragrance lasting level is perfume or what is called Parfum Classic, which contains approximately thirty percent essential oils. Perfume or a Parfum Classic scent will last more than six hours.
Furthermore, did you know that perfume that is packaged in a small sized bottle will last longer than a perfume that is packaged in a larger size?
Now that you know the potency of each perfume product, you will be able to more knowledgeably buy women's fragrances for yourself or that special person in your life.
Scents that Attract Women
It is easy if you know where to look for the best deals. Once you know these secrets and with a little bit of time and effort, you may find different discount womens perfume that goes for a hundred dollars per ounce at a discounted price.
- Also note that since you buy the perfume at a discount, it doesn't mean it isn't any good.
Know When to Shop
They say timing is everything. If you shop at the right times during the year, you can find amazing discount women's perfume. After holidays, such as Christmas, Mother's Day, and Valentine's Day try at your local stores.
These stores should be having left-over perfumes packaged in holiday boxes. When holidays are over, the packaging is no good. Many stores will deeply discount womens perfume that is packaged for the holidays.
What if the store did not advertise for a sale for perfume?
If your store does not have an advertised sale you can ask discount for purchasing holiday leftovers. After holidays, the buyers are the boss. You are really helping the store to get rid of their old items in stock.
Stay on top of the newest trends in perfume
If you can stay on top of the newest trends from your favorite perfume manufacturer, you may also stumble upon some amazing women's perfume discounts. If you know that your favorite perfume maker is about to introduce a new line or even a newly shaped bottle, you can score huge discounts on the old styles. Most stores are happy to sell the old line at a mark down to make room for the new products they are receiving.
This is one of the simplest and greatest secret. ASK. If you feel you cannot stay on top of the newest trends in perfume, then do this. Ask the store clerk if they have old line of your favorite manufacturer's brand and if they can sell it to you at a discounted rate.
Know What to Ask For
Goto your local stores that sells perfume. Many stores sell the test bottles when they get to be about half full. Often you can buy your favorite fragrances at a fraction of the cost of a new bottle.
If you want to wear extremely expensive cologne but just can't afford it, ask the cosmetics clerk to sell you the sample bottle. You might end up paying ten dollars for an ounce of perfume that costs one hundred dollars for a two ounce bottle.
Buy Gift Baskets Instead Of Just Buying a Bottle
Another great way to find discount women's perfume is to buy gift baskets instead of just buying a bottle of your favorite scent. Often you will get other cosmetics such as soaps, lotions, powders, essential oils, or even several sizes of your favorite perfume in one basket for a fraction of what it would cost to buy the items all separately.
What to do with the gift items that you won't use?
Don't worry if the gift basket contains items you won't use. You can take those items and save money by giving them away as gifts. You can even take one gift basket and rewrap the contents to make gifts for two different friends or family members.

Debian Non-Profit
Project status
Debian-NP fell dormant in 2005 and was officially discontinued as an active project in 2007 when the Debian-NP mailing list was deactivated. This page, and our mailing list archives, are maintained for historical reasons, but will not be updated in the future and are currently out of date. It is still our hope that Debian-NP, or a project with similar goals, is revived at some point in the future. If you are interested in helping with such an issue, please bring it up on the debian-devel mailing list.
Project description
Debian-NP is an internal Debian project to develop Debian into an operating system that is designed to fulfill the requirements of small non-profit organizations. The goal of Debian-NP is a complete system for all common tasks that non-profit organization need using 100% free software. We want to provide this functionality in an integrated and documented stable free desktop environment.
The name Debian-NP includes NP meaning "non-profit." We've considered the name Debian-NGO but "non-profit" was the best description of the community of not-for-profit, civil-society, worker-owned, cooperative, and activist groups that we think this distribution will benefit.
The general idea for this kind of project was adopted from the other Debian Custom Distributions that include, in no particular order Skolelinux build by the Debian-Edu project, Debian-Lex, Debian Junior, Debian-Med, Debian Desktop and DeMuDi/AGNULA.
Debian-NP aims to create one or more Custom Debian Distribution (CDD) designed to fit the needs of non-profits. Working within the Debian system, Debian-NP will select, highlight, and document a subset of packages within Debian. In addition to package selection, Debian-NP will customize packages in ways useful to non-profits — all while working completely within the Debian system.
Eventually, many participants aim to write new pieces of software, useful outside of Debian, to replace programs important to non-profits but currently unavailable as free software or on GNU/Linux systems (e.g., a good fund raising database).
Considering the diversity and the complexity of Non Profit organizations, we also aim to be a base for further customizations, and we are helping develop tools and documentation to allow non-profits to easily create their own Custom Debian Distribution tailored to their specific needs.
Τίποτα για αυτό το έτος.
Project goals
- Build a solid software base for non-profit organizations with emphasis on easy installation, easy maintenance, security, and the creation of a secure, integrated, standard, all-in-one solution.
- Bring users and authors of a range of projects together.
- Provide information, documentation, and tutorials to help acclimate non-profits to GNU/Linux and the Debian-NP system.
- Help non-profit organizations share resources by allowing upstream authors to get their products packaged in Debian and distributed to others as part of the Debian-NP collection.
What can I do to help?
- Sign up on the mailing list and introduce yourself and let your voice and your, or your organization's, needs be known;
- Create an account on Alioth ("Debian Sourceforge") and contact one of the Project Administrators about adding you to Debian-NP Alioth project;
- Tell others in the non-profit world, especially software developers with experience in GNU/Linux and Debian, about the project;
- Begin to enhancing and translating these web pages and information on the Debian-NP Wiki;
- Visit the Debian-NP ToDo list for up-to-date information on tasks that need to be done.
Email List
Debian has set up an email list for this group. You can subscribe to it from the mailing list subscription page and archives.
Debian-NP Wiki at DebianWiki - the center for the bulk of Debian-NP planning.
IRC Channel
We have a real-time discussion channel, #debian-np on Freenode IRC (irc.freenode.net).
If you need support for Debian-NP, please see the Debian support page or contact the mailing list.
If you see potential overlap between your organization or project and Debian-NP, please don't hesitate to contact us at email@example.com.

DALLAS � Southwest Airlines said it fired the captain who was at the controls of a plane that landed nose first at New York's LaGuardia Airport in July, injuring nine people and snarling air traffic for hours.
The captain, a Southwest pilot for 13 years, took control from the first officer just before the Boeing 737 hit the runway, U.S. investigators said in August. Dallas-based Southwest ordered the first officer to undergo more training, an airline spokeswoman, Linda Rutherford, said in an e-mail Wednesday.
Southwest acted after completing its investigation into the July 22 accident, Rutherford said. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, which is conducting its own inquiry, previously said it found no evidence of a mechanical failure.
"As a matter of policy we have not identified the pilots and we are not discussing the specifics," Rutherford said. "We are also still in an active investigation with the NTSB."
With its nose pointed three degrees downward, the 737-700 struck the runway first with the landing gear at the front of the plane instead of settling onto the main wheels located beneath the wings, the NTSB said in a July 25 release.
The forward gear broke, snapping rearward and damaging an electronics bay. Flight 345 was arriving from Nashville, Tenn., and carried 150 people.

pugilist is slowly but surely becoming a beast but i have no clue what earth fists actually does besides increase your defense. im not noticing a damage increase and my mp isnt draining.
And yeah, it probably just depends on party composition and the quality of players. I made that example earlier in the thread about an idiot being someone who AOEs Sleeping monsters over and over despite being told not to thinking it wasn't going to happen to me. It happened. On the other hand, I had an absolutely amazing time helping my friend in Hala with it, where everyone knew their jobs, the run was very fast, and we were all friendly and talkative. I also really like helping with Sas, since people seem to genuinely want to know and learn.Duty Finder is so hit and miss.
I've only seen a handful of really lazy, incompetent players that were not willing to listen and tried to play up their skill, but for the most part folks have been good about following instructions, especially if you give them visual queues. I'm really curious to see how the Hard Mode Primals turn out.
LOL! This is true. I will freely admit to using abilities that I enjoy watching (when able). What sucks is that I've done everything I'd really care to do in beta right now, outside of helping FC mates, and I have no clue when phase 4 is going to hit. I really don't want to burn out on the pre-35 stuff since I've got to run it on ACN, but I still want to keep playing! Ugh! It hurts!
so whats up with this bosses name...placeholder monster maybe? also the boss of this place brutally raped me. used a knockback and hit me into one of those exploding plants,tried to get away in a panic and got killed by poison floor.
When is the final phase where they stop wiping data?
They're making hardmodes? Sweet!
so whats up with this bosses name...placeholder monster maybe? also the boss of this place brutally raped me. used a knockback and hit me into one of those exploding plants,tried to get away in a panic and got killed by poison floor. i'm finding in longer fights its real easy for me to rip hate off even mrd tanks. it started happening when pug gets that trait that lets you stack 2 greased lightning and you get another one at lvl 40 XD. thankfully fists of earth and second wind lets me tank till tank can re-establish hate and gives me a chance to use haymaker.
its not happening consistAntly but rather during long fights. its a result of being able to have 2 greased lightning effects at the same,every bootshine after the first being a guaranteed crit, tossing in impulse drives and a huge stack of attack boosts:2x greased lightning,twin snakes,and raging strikes.
Alisha, I'm not gonna shit on your ability to play this game, but I am gonna say that it sounds like your tank needs work. Between overpower and tomahawk, I usually have no issues keeping hate or re-accruing it should a single mob straggle off to fuck with my healer. I'd suggest you recommend to your tank to stop worrying about his miniscule dps output, as it is miniscule compared to lnc and pug, and worry about keeping mobs on him/herself and not eating needless damage so your mage can assist in damage and not spamcure him/her. At least get some spare healing otherwise like second wind and maybe cure off gla, though I have yet to do this myself. Again, not saying your ability to play pug isn't good, just I have a pretty strong pug friend who has been playing since version 1.0 who really knows his class and still doesn't pull hate off me. It's not hard to get hate on a tank is all I'm saying.
Lancers, without exception, are suicidal for some reason. They're like the Dark Knights of FFXIV.

This time I was really inclined to take the leap and head to my first national conference. But as usual I wavered. Finally with the deadline looming I had to gather all the information I needed to make an informed decision.
I guess I have been living with rose-tinted glasses when it comes to conferences. After pricing out the conference, the cost to me would be $1,000 minimum just for registration, airfare and hotel. After that I would need to budget for food and incidentals (yes, shopping!). I was easily looking at $1,500 for the trip.
I admit I was caught off guard by the total cost. Perhaps I shouldn't have been. I reeled from sticker shock! I considered all the other things I could do with that money and all the other ways I could spend four days of my time.
I posed this question to my Facebook friends:
There was quite a lively discussion on facebook with over 65 comments. Several people asked me to take the question to my blog and address it with a wider audience.
So I pose it to you here. How do you feel about the cost of national conferences? Is it worth your time and money?
I would love to attend but I question the return on investment.
Here are some loose anonymous paraphrases of comments shared:
- Several of the commenters mentioned about using speaking at the conference as a way to cut down on costs. (of course, this has to be planned well in advance when the call for proposals come out.)
- Others countered that the cost of creating a lecture is never really realized, regardless of the venue never mind throwing in travel costs.
- Some people felt the networking was the driving force.
- Others said just accept that your going as fun or vacation and don't try to justify it.
- Others talked about getting roommates and volunteering as a way to cut down costs.
- A few people felt that genealogy institutes were a better investment.
- Some felt that the cost wasn't worth it and it was better to focus on local or regional conferences.
Let's hear what you have to say!

Apple Controls Release of iPad Mini in China
Apple is requiring Chinese customers who want to buy a Wi-Fi iPad Mini to participate in an online lottery for the chance. But most of the buyers at an Apple store in Beijing appeared to be making their purchases on behalf of scalpers. The WSJ's Wayne Ma has the story.

Lip balm. Check! Water spray. Check! Fan. Check! Snacks. Check! Drinks. Check! Drugs. Check!
Enough about me, let's concentrate on the subject in hand.
Midwife's hands, as it goes, after my darling daughter gave birth to a beloved boy.
Giving your columnist his first grandson. And more material for such musings.
They say there's one born every minute. No, sorry, this sucker digresses again.
Sources in fact suggest (citation needed) 353,000 babes daily land on our planet.
Child-friendly charity UNICEF estimates every second sees 4.3 births.
The .3 matters because I was that runt, so ugly the maternity nurse slapped my parents.
And yet, and yet, each delivery is an undeniably unique marvel.
Hinduism to Buddhism, Methodism to Darwinism, irrefutably a miracle on a major scale.
Thanks to Mother Nature, and mums the globe over, we all benefit big-style from this most basic, but bountiful, gift bestowed upon us.
Literary legend Mark Twain suggested "the two most important days in your life are the day you were born ... and the day you find out why."
Others are less philosophical, celebrity couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z likely, after twins recent arrival, hailing 21st century childbirth "totes amazeballs".
Less than an hour on reassuringly from Friday the 13th, our 6lb 3oz bundle of fun shares his birthday with Roger Moore and Ralph Lauren, Dwight Eisenhower and King James 11 ... not too shabby a desert island dream dinner party.
And then to onerous name game. As my daughter Laura takes her middle moniker – sole mention in marriage vows – from my dear departed mum Doris, and granddaughter Ella's full title includes Paige as nod to her matriarchal lineage, so Harry harks back to my late great father.
But, the l'il lad's dad being staunch Spurs fan, acknowledge more likely paean to Kane, club and country star striker and hopeful saviour.
After all he is, echoing Wembley terrace chants, one of our own.
Such a life-changing celebration focuses a middle-aged man's mind on the world around us.
Hoping likes of chump Trump and wrong 'un Jong-un desist from war games – in essence a potentially deadly version of playground boys vying to wee highest up a wall – and humanity brings us back from brink that is mass destruction abysmal abyss.
Lighten up, you cry! Surely will, I respond.
And, If you've read thus far, not only do you deserve a medal the size of Eric Pickles' pickle tray, hundreds more mini 'uns have joined us since the intro at calculated rate of 255 per minute.
Health and happiness to them all, says I. And their devoted families, similarly smitten by unconditional universal joy that is new-born bug.
So, referencing Shakespeare – even though he never quotes my work – "Cry God for Harry, England and Saint George".
In accordance with Sanskrit mantra, this special soul is our latest embodiment of pure love. Or, if you will, Harry Krishna.

Summary Meeting Notes: September 20, 2012 Neighborhood Centers PEG
September 20, 2012 from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m.
PEG Attendees: Kate Allen, Lisa Bates, Jason Barnstead-Long, Andre Baugh, Paul Cathcart, Alan DeLaTorre, Justin Douglas, Ivy Dunlap, Allen Field, Gabe Genauer, Ryan Givens, Bob Granger, Denver Igarta, Jennifer Moore, Mark Raggett, Nick Sauvie.
Other Attendees: Judith Mowry, Tom Armstrong, Debbie Bischoff, Tyler Bump, Linda Nettekoven, Chris Smith, Deborah Stein, Spencer Williams.
Key Points and Outcomes
The following are key takeaways from the September 20th Centers PEG meeting that staff will consider in developing policies to address gentrification and displacement:
- General acceptance of the mapping methodology, indicators, and policy framework (different policy response for different stages of gentrification).
- Suggestions regarding demographics, including age of householder and length of housing tenure. These factors could be incorporated into the mapping analysis or be part of the demographic "drill down" within the context of a specific project.
- Future discussion topics will include specific tools that align with each type; how the housing opportunity strategy relates, and prioritizing among neighborhood types (e.g. is it most important to stabilize dynamic areas or prevent gentrification in areas in early stages?).
Welcome, Introductions and Centers Reports
Presenter: Steve Faust, Facilitator
Summary: Neighborhood Centers PEG members introduced themselves and shared observations from visits to Neighborhood Centers in Northeast Portland– Albina and Central Northeast areas.
Following introductions, Steve mentioned that several people have expressed confusion about the role of the PEG in relation to the overall process. Steve stated that the City has spent the last few years reaching out to the community through the Vision PDX and Portland Plan processes. BPS staff have drafted policy recommendations for the Comprehensive Plan based on the results of those efforts. The purpose of the PEG is to advise City staff on proposed policy recommendations and contribute suggestions for revision. Steve recommended that PEG members revisit the charter for more information or contact Bill with any questions.
Presenters: Judith Mowry, Office of Neighborhood Involvement
Summary: Judith described the role of the Equity Group in ensuring the Portland Plan Equity Framework becomes operational in the Comprehensive Plan Update process. She talked about applying the equity lens to policy recommendations to determine how they impact various populations. In particular, the Equity Group is interested in evaluating impacts on racial groups and people with disabilities. In response to a question about the role of the Equity Group, Judith stated that they provide technical assistance to planning staff. They also host a monthly equity workshop where participants discuss how equity relates to practical scenarios. Judith also mentioned that the Office of Equity and Human Rights would be conducting a training later this year.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
Portland Demographics
Presenter: Radcliffe Dacanay, BPS
Summary: Radcliffe presented a series of maps illustrating various aspects of Portland's current demographics, including race and ethnicity, educational attainment, and income and poverty.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
Gentrification and Displacement
Presenter: Tom Armstrong, BPS and Lisa Bates
Summary: Tom Armstrong provided background information on gentrification and displacement in Portland and the policy strategy of aligning planning policy and public investment with programs to address displacement, with consideration for market and demographic dynamics. The City plans to develop tools for different types of neighborhoods, facilitate equitable revitalization, mitigate harmful consequences, and apply tools to assess potential impacts from future projects.
The City is conducting a study, led by Lisa Bates, to map displacement throughout the city, identify neighborhood typologies along the spectrum of gentrification and use national best practices and case studies to develop tools appropriate for each neighborhood typology.
Lisa described the indicators of displacement used by the study: increase in median household income; increase in population with a bachelor's degree; change in percentage of renters; and decrease in percentage of nonwhite population. She noted that this study is focused on residential displacement while PDC is working on a separate tool to look at commercial displacement. Themes and questions from the PEG discussion on gentrification indicators included:
- Do the indicators capture natural migration as populations see a rise in education levels, income and mobility?
- Other indicators could include age of householder and length of housing tenure.
- Examine why young people are moving here.Portlandis the least expensive of West Coast cities.
- Consider the role that marketing plays in attracting people to move into areas.
- Market forces also a factor, determining where growth and development occurs and impacting homeowners, renters and landlords.
- Need to determine whether the displacement is voluntary or involuntary.
Lisa continued the presentation, describing the neighborhood typology spectrum and reviewing policies for neighborhood typologies. She also indicated that once a neighborhood's typology is identified, the next step will be to "drill down" to look at additional data and assess the need for mitigating tools or opportunities to enhance vitality. Themes from the PEG discussion on policy tools for addressing gentrification included:
- Consider policies that focus on integration versus segregation.
- Tools to address gentrification will vary depending on typology. One tool may be to encourage more diverse housing. Another may be to take a portion of redevelopment funds to offset potential impacts.
- Great framework and tools. Portland is unusual in the degree of segregation in its history, especially of the African American community. The challenge will be to take this typology approach and develop policies to promote equity.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
Public Comment
No public comment.
Next Steps
Presenter: Steve Faust
- Regarding gentrification and displacement, future discussion topics will focus on the specific tools that align with each type of neighborhood in the gentrification spectrum, how this relates to the housing opportunity strategy, and prioritizing among neighborhood types (e.g. is it most important to stabilize dynamic areas or prevent gentrification in areas in early stages?).
- The next Neighborhood Centers PEG meeting will take place at 8 am on Thursday, October 18.
- The Planning and Sustainability Commission is hosting a forum on the topic of new apartments without off-street parking on November 13 (12:30pm). This will also be a topic for future Neighborhood Centers PEG discussion.
For more information, please contact Bill Cunningham, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability at 503-823-4203 or firstname.lastname@example.com or Steve Faust, Facilitator at 503-278-3456 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lyrics:First verseWe meet tonight, dear, for the last time, Our happy dream, of love is o'er; Perhaps for you, 'twas but a pastime, But ah, for me 'twas something more. When I recall those hours of gladness, My heart will throb with wild delight, Still let us banish thoughts of sadness, And dream love's dream again just for tonight.ChorusJust for tonight, let us be happy dear, And live again those hours of pure delight. What tho' the time when we must part is near, Still let us live and love again, just for tonight.Second verseJust for tonight, then on the morrow, since duty calls us we must part But mem'ries sweet will banish sorrow, And hope will live within each heart Don't say goodbye, I'm sure that some day, we'll meet again, what e'er befall, So let us then enjoy the present And make tonight the sweetest dream of all.(Chorus)

Who is Powerful: God or ICC Cricket Umpire?

Published: 24th February, 2004
We are living in a civilized world in the twenty first century. The human beings
have reached at this stage of modern time-scale passing through thousands of
year. In this time period, our society has all tools, components, and mechanism
such as democracy, free media, justice, law and regulation, which ensure human
beings can not do unfair, injustice and illogical act as like as medieval time
period. If any component of our society does not function according to civilized
way we have to modify it accordingly.
Some components of our society are still functioning like medieval period.
One of them is the ICC?s cricket role. I?m not a great cricketer,
but as a cricket lover occasionally I watch couple of games whenever I got
time. Recently, I was watching Zimbabwe vs. Bangladesh first test match on
4th day (22-February-2004) and once again it was came to me attention that
how much damage could be done in competitive by the umpire?s wrong decision.
On the last hour of the day, Bangladesh team was just going to open their last
innings after finishing a brilliant first innings and the 3rd day of bowling
against Zimbabwe, then the umpire came like a devil and destroyed the charm
of game in an unexpected way. We can look at the following comments from ?The
Wisden Verdict? (Ward, 2004) about unpleasant act of umpire at that game.
????????TV replays showed
that unfortunately the umpire Neil Mallender had got the final, very difficult,
decision wrong ? the ball actually came off the top of Mushfiqur Rahman's
pad and not his bat on its way through to the keeper????.?
????????.Shahriar Hossain's
lbw decision from Dave Orchard was marginal for height, and Mushfiqur was certainly
unlucky to complete Blignaut's hat-trick. In two hours the match had turned
around dramatically, and if it is not quite a case of Nessun Dorma for Bangladesh,
they will not sleep too easily tonight?????..?
Not only this, the same umpire did more damages again on the 5th day, which
was against Tapsh, when Bangladesh had been coming back in a competitive position
after the umpire made disaster of 4th day. What a shame, Dave Orchard was keeping
doing it again and again!!!!!
In the above-mentioned game, among first five wickets, within 2 over and 2
runs, 3 of them were LBWs, where 2 of them were completely wrong. Without the
umpire?s misdeed it would be fairly a competitive and enjoyable game
for all. Umpire?s wrong decision (intentional or unintentional) has been
going against the new and less powerful team frequently. We can still remember
ICC umpire?s bad decision against Bangladesh team when they were playing
against Pakistan in last year. I think any cricket lover does not want see
such kind of devil power of umpires.
What is the solution of such kind of wrong decision again and again? ICC?s
highly paid employees, but not highly creative, should think for the solutions
regarding umpire?s wrong doing. There are so many simple solutions to
avoid this problem again and again, even simply using a real-time computer
software it can easily be detected and determined whether it was a real out
(wicket fall) or not. There should be punishment/penalties for an umpire if
he intentionally or unintentionally takes the wrong decision, which severely
impacts a good game. The ICC can think about the alternative solutions to avoid
human errors, who knows it?s not a biased decision as like as match fixing,
in taking every LBW and other confusing decision through computer replay or
other visual aids. There are also other solutions in this modern age to avoid
those mistakes, if ICC?s guys think creatively and change the necessary
laws for the sack of good game and fair play. By solving this problems only
the umpire could be bring down just one step below the God position in term
of power.
