Welcome to Ngor Island
Fifty years ago, Bruce Brown & Co. landed in Dakar, Senegal, to begin filming for the legendary surf movie "The Endless Summer." At the time they were told, "There's no surf in Africa." But as they quickly learned, there is, and it gets pretty good. Today, thanks to Brown's visit five decades ago, Ngor Island, a quarter-mile offshore from Dakar, remains one of the hotbeds of West African surfing.

Does this mean that while developing a map I can let people play on it while simultaneously editing that very same map on which they are playing?The new Xonotic game mode is called Sandbox, which allows for "[using] your imagination to create funny scenes with the playermodels, add your own ones, and share them with your friends, even online! This can also be very useful for development, or easily trying new things without hacking the code or opening up a map to edit it. Though Sandbox is currently still a bit limited, expect new features coming to it later!"
That would be the most awesome feature being added in a computergame ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (year: 2012)

Patient-centered Outcomes Related to TReatment Practices in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Investigating Trajectories (PORTRAIT)

- How to Read a Study Record
An estimated 8 million individuals in America are affected by peripheral arterial disease (PAD), blockages of the leg arteries that can cause excruciating calf pain when walking. PAD can have a tremendous impact on patients and their families. It is also associated with high rates of heart attacks and premature death. While there are a number of treatments, there have been few previous studies that have examined treatment patterns for PAD or sought to systematically identify opportunities to improve care. Most importantly, there have been no rigorous studies examining the impact of the disease from patients' perspectives - their symptoms, function and quality of life - as a function of different patient characteristics and treatments. The PORTRAIT study will systematically document the treatments and outcomes of 240 patients from 2 centers to address these gaps in knowledge. It will illuminate whether disparities in treatment or outcomes exist, as a function of patients' gender, race, socioeconomic or psychological characteristics. PORTRAIT will substantially elevate the field and identify critical gaps in the way PAD is currently managed to that the quality of care can be improved.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) patients
Patients with new onset or exacerbation of peripheral artery (PA) symptoms.
Detailed Description:
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with a disproportionately poor prognosis, as compared with other atherosclerotic diseases. While poor risk factor treatment may partially explain PAD patients' poor clinical outcomes, cardiac events are only one manifestation of the disease. For PAD patients, their health status (symptoms, function, and quality of life) are critical outcomes of the disease. To date, however, there have been no systematic evaluations of disease-specific health status outcomes in PAD and how these vary by patient or treatment characteristics. These gaps in knowledge exist despite guidelines stating that the primary goals of PAD treatment should be symptom relief and quality of life improvement. Explicit hypotheses underlying PORTRAIT are that: PAD care is organized in a fragmented way (multiple specialists performing a myriad of treatments), is associated with a wide variation in initial treatment strategies. These variations will be reflected in different degrees to which providers adhere to guideline-recommended cardiovascular risk management strategies. It is also expected that racial, gender, and age disparities in treat-ment patterns and outcomes (patient-centered outcomes and prognosis) exist.
A total of 2 PAD specialty clinics (vascular surgery and interventional cardiology) will consecutively enroll 240 patients with new or recently exacerbated PAD symptoms. Treatment and disease-specific health status information at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months will be collected; and 1-year adjudicated follow-up on cardiovascular events will be organized to address the following specific aims:
Aim 1: Examine patient characteristics and variations in treatment strategies for PAD patients initially present-ing to a PAD clinic for care with new or an exacerbation of PAD symptoms Aim 2: Compare real world use of PAD care delivery strategies with current PAD performance measures Aim 3: Quantify the variability in patients' 1-year PAD-specific health status outcomes overall and as a func-tion of treatment and patient characteristics Aim 4: Evaluate 1-year rates of cardiovascular events; overall and by treatment and patient characteristics Virtually all of the aims are innovative, as prior research has been limited to procedural registries, smaller, generic health status studies, and heterogeneous cohorts, which partly explain why patients' health status have not yet become important standards in guiding PAD treatment. Accomplishing the proposed aims will be crucial to achieving our overarching goal of creating a multi-modal PAD management program; one that uses novel personalized and system-oriented approaches to increase the use of evidence-based guidelines and to optimize patients' outcomes. PORTRAIT is the first step towards achieving this goal and will enrich the evidence-base with real-world data so that concrete targets for future innovations in PAD care can be developed.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 21 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Patients presenting to a PAD specialty clinic with new-onset exertional leg symptoms, or recent exacerbations of symptoms, will be screened for enrollment at 11 specialty PAD clinics.

Koehler eyes first Major League victory
McCarthy looks to earn first win with D-backs
The Marlins will send right-hander Tom Koehler to the mound for his second start of the season and the third start of his career when they play the second game of a three-game set against the D-backs at Marlins Park on Saturday.
The 26-year-old Koehler was pitching out of the bullpen before manager Mike Redmond decided a change needed to be made to his rotation and slated the rookie for a start on Sunday. Koehler only threw 79 pitches in the outing, but proved he could capably handle a starting job, lasting five innings and allowing two runs on seven hits. His performance was enough to earn him another crack at starting, and he'll seek his first Major League win on Saturday.
"I try to throw the ball the same way," Koehler said. "Whether it comes out differently when I'm out of the 'pen, I don't really know. The key really is just going to be to try to get ahead. First-pitch strikes is going to be really huge and trying to minimize mistakes."
In his only start last season, Koehler took the hill for Miami's final game of the season against the Mets. The Mets tagged him for two home runs, but only managed three runs off Koehler, who worked his way into the bullpen this year and impressed with a 3.18 ERA in 11 1/3 innings of relief.
Saturday will be just the third appearance for Koehler at Marlins Park this season, but he still hasn't surrendered a run in four innings of work at home.
"It's going to be more important to get out there, get ahead early and try to limit the pitch count and try to get outs as quick as possible," Koehler said. "And watch how the game goes [Friday] with [Marlins starter Kevin] Slowey, so I can get kind of an idea of how to attack."
Slowey's start didn't prove to be the best example on how to attack the D-backs' lineup. He lasted three innings and allowed six runs, four off a pair of Paul Goldschmidt home runs, on seven hits in Arizona's 9-2 win over the Marlins on Friday.
The D-backs will counter Koehler with right-hander Brandon McCarthy, who held the Phillies scoreless over eight innings of work on Sunday before Arizona's bullpen allowed the lead to slip away. But McCarthy has struggled with consistency this season and still hasn't won a game since joining the D-backs this offseason.
Marlins: Pierre has strong history against D-backs
Entering this weekend's series, Juan Pierre was hitting .346 for his career against the D-backs. Pierre's lifetime .362 mark against the Rockies is his only average against a team that tops his numbers against Arizona. But Marlins third baseman Placido Polanco has actually hit for the most success against the D-backs as of late. The 15-year veteran had a .467 average over his past nine games against the D-backs, while Pierre was hitting .409 over the same stretch.
D-backs: Hudson on the mend
Right-hander Daniel Hudson threw against non-D-backs hitters for the first time since he underwent Tommy John surgery last summer. He pitched four innings in an extended spring training game on Friday, allowing two earned runs on five hits against Minor Leaguers from the Angels' organization.
Hudson threw 53 pitches in the outing and is a bit ahead of schedule in his rehab program, which targeted a return date around the All-Star break.
Worth noting
• Marlins reliever Ryan Webb has thrown a career-best 15 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings. The two hits he gave up against the Reds on Wednesday broke a 10 1/3-innings hitless streak, which was the longest run by any pitcher this season.
• With his 4-for-5 performance on Friday, Eric Chavez is now hitting .463 over his past 13 games. He's now hit safely in 11 of those 13 and seven of his past eight to raise his average from .229 on April 28 to .337 entering Saturday.

However, if x

the case that (pseudo-termp x)

See term for a discussion of the various meanings of the word
``term'' in ACL2. In its most strict sense, a term is either a
legal variable symbol, a quoted constant, or the application of an
-ary function symbol or closed lambda
-expression to n
terms. By
``legal variable symbol'' we exclude constant symbols, such as t
, and *ts-rational*
. By ``quoted constants'' we include 't
(quote t)
), 'nil
, '31
, etc., and exclude constant names such as t
and *ts-rational*
, unquoted constants such as 31
or 1/2
, and
ill-formed quote
expressions such as (quote 3 4)
. By ``closed
lambda expression'' we exclude expressions, such as
(lambda (x) (cons x y))
, containing free variables in their bodies.
Terms typed by the user are translated into strict terms for
internal use in ACL2.
The predicate termp
checks this strict sense of ``term'' with
respect to a given ACL2 logical world; See world. Many ACL2
functions, such as the rewriter, require certain of their arguments
to satisfy termp
. However, as of this writing, termp
is in :
mode and thus cannot be used effectively in conjectures to be
proved. Furthermore, if regarded simply from the perspective of an
effective guard for a term-processing function, termp
checks many
irrelevant things. (Does it really matter that the variable symbols
encountered never start and end with an asterisk?) For these
reasons, we have introduced the notion of a ``pseudo-term'' and
embodied it in the predicate pseudo-termp
, which is easier to
check, does not require the logical world as input, has :
mode, and is often perfectly suitable as a guard on term-processing
A pseudo-termp
is either a symbol, a true list of length 2
beginning with the word quote
, the application of an n
expression to a true list of n
pseudo-terms, or
the application of a symbol to a true list of n
By an ``n
-ary pseudo-lambda
expression'' we mean an expression
of the form (lambda (v1 ... vn) pterm)
, where the vi
symbols (but not necessarily distinct legal variable symbols) and
is a pseudo-termp
Metafunctions may use pseudo-termp
as a guard.

The Ides of April (SIGNED)
Hodder and Stoughton 2012 First Hardback SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR
Flavia Albia is the adopted daughter of a famous investigating family. In defiance of tradition, she lives alone on the colourful Aventine Hill, and battles out a solo career in a male-dominated world. As a woman and an outsider, Albia has special insight into the best, and worst, of life in ancient Rome. A female client dies in mysterious circumstances. Albia investigates and discovers there have been many other strange deaths all over the city, yet she is warned off by the authorities. The vigils are incompetent. The local magistrate is otherwise engaged, organising the Games of Ceres, notorious for its ancient fox-burning ritual. Even Albia herself is preoccupied with a new love affair: Andronicus, an attractive archivist, offers all that a love-starved young widow can want, even though she knows better than to take him home to meet the parents... As the festival progresses, her neighbourhood descends into mayhem and becomes the heartless killer's territory. While Albia and her allies search for him, he stalks them through familiar byways and brings murder ever closer to home. The Ides of April is vintage Lindsey Davis, offering wit, intrigue, action and a brilliant new heroine who promises to be as celebrated as Marcus Didius Falco and Helena Justina, her fictional predecessors.

A Very Murdering Battle
Allison and Busby November 2011 First Hardback SIGNED by the author
It is 1709, and Europe is in the midst of the coldest winter for a century. France is suffering profoundly: with her people starving and her army rattled by mutiny and desertions, King Louis XIV is at The Hague, searching for peace with the English on almost any terms. To assist these negotiations, the Duke of Marlborough sends Captain Daniel Rawson on a dangerous mission to Paris to seek out a package of vital information that could secure an advantageous peace deal for England. Yet in spite of his efforts, the peace talks collapse, and Daniel finds himself once more embroiled in dangerous adventure. For Marlborough has another mission for him: this time it is not information but a precious tapestry that has to be recovered. The tapestry of the Battle of Ramillies has been stolen, and Daniel's hunt for the ruthless thieves leads him into enemy territory, where he must daily outwit betrayal and kidnap, and risk capture and life itself. All the while, the French army is regaining its strength under the supervision of Marshall Villars, a worthy opponent in the field. As the opposing armies mass in the area around the village of Malplaquet, a bloody encounter looms, which means that if Daniel manages to return safely to the Duke's forces from behind enemy lines, he must then stand fast and fight in their most murdering battle yet.

Seanol Longevity Plus (60 capsules, 30-day supply) | anti aging supplements
Item# ESL
Save 10% Plus Get FREE Shipping on Today's Order with AutoDelivery! What is AutoDelivery?
"You have redefined my concept of aging with Seanol Longevity Plus!"
- Feel younger from head to toe
- Maintain lifelong heart and artery health
- Enjoy real, lasting, natural energy
- Ensure strong bone and healthy joints
- And so much more…
The anti-aging supplement I'm about to introduce you to doesn't just help extend your lifespan…it extends your youth span. Extending your youth span means slowing the aging process while helping to ensure that you continue feeling young, vibrant, and energized every single day.
My research team pulled nature's most potent anti-aging nutrients from the sea, the earth, and the sun. And the result is Seanol® Longevity Plus, a three-pronged anti-aging supplement so powerful, not only do I recommend it to every one of my patients—I take it every day.
1. Ancient secret helps you feel younger with each passing day!
Nature's most powerful anti-aging supplement was discovered off the coast of Korea over 2,000 years ago. And thanks to a $39 million research project, modern science has proven that Seanol, a brown seaweed extract, is one of the most powerful ways to slow the aging process.
Packing 100 times the anti-aging power of green tea, Seanol protects your body against the dangers of free radicals 24 times longer as well. Ensuring you can feel younger, healthier, and more energized every single day.
2. Switch on your "longevity gene" and revitalize your youth span
Resveratrol, a potent antioxidant, found in the skin of red grapes, has shown tremendous benefits for the heart and in the fight against the aging process.
In 2003, Harvard University researchers proved that resveratrol activates a gene called sirtuin—the gene most directly responsible for your lifespan. Activating your longevity gene means extending not only your lifespan, but your youth span.
And the resveratrol you'll get in each daily serving of Seanol Longevity Plus is the ONLY form backed by successful human clinical trials and proven to enhance blood vessel flexibility by an astounding 62% for healthy blood pressure.
3. Feel like every day is a warm, sunny spring afternoon
There's a reason we feel energized by a warm, sunny day. That's because the sun's rays allow the body to produce vitamin D3. Beyond bone health, vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining a healthy, balanced mood.

The most un-sturdy and uncertain vessel to navigate through any ocean of the heart. While the warm winds of prevailing love and romance blow favorably through its sails, this un-seaworthy vessel steers ahead with pride and promise. But upon hitting rough and stormy weather, too often the relationSHIP flounders and sinks.
If you've yet to experience a relationship, then an example will do little to help you understand.

By Toni Viles, RD/LD, Norman Regional Community Dietitian
For many of us, each New Year brings with it resolutions to better ourselves… Lose 10 pounds, give up fried foods, walk every morning, get more sleep, etc. While we make these pledges with the best intentions, after a few weeks we often lose steam and let them slowly slip away. How can we avoid that this year?
Set Reasonable Goals
Make sure your goal is realistic for you and your lifestyle. If want to start exercising every morning before work but you already wake up at 5a.m. to get ready, can you really see yourself waking up at 4 a.m. every day to get it done? Instead, you could focus on getting more activity throughout the day (for example taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking farther away from the building) or try exercising after work.
Start Slow
Try to change your habits gradually. Habits take a long to establish so it's normal for them to take some time to change. Let's say you drink 64 oz of pop every day. It's a tall order to say that you'll immediately stop drinking pop. Instead maybe you could cut down to 48 oz for the first week or two, then aim for 36 oz, and so on. You are more likely to be successful if you take it slow and give your body and your mind some time to adjust.
Get a Partner
Making changes is much easier when you have support. Consider making a pact with a friend or family member to work on a resolution together. Having a partner to talk with can make the ups and downs more manageable. It also helps to be accountable to somebody besides you.
Write it Down
Start by writing down your goals and then begin tracking your behaviors. If your goal is diet-related, record your food intake as the day goes on. If it's an exercise-related goal, track your physical activity. We tend to be more successful when we are accountable to ourselves throughout the day.
Remember It's a Lifestyle Change
Whatever your New Year's resolution is, remember to make it a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. Aiming for a new and improved you is a great goal and well-worth the hard work.

Has the comfort and feel of wearing bedroom slippers, yet stylish enough to wear with a suit, corporate cassual or totally cassual. These are the most versatile and comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned.

Great comfortable shoe that is very universal!!
I Purchased 3 pairs of Rockports as a result of extremely sore feet at days end. A colleague recommended and stated these are all he wears due to the amount of time we walk and stand. These are great looking comfortable shoes that look good with a suit or jeans. Traveling 5 days a week and spending many hours a week in airports these slip on's are quick to get through security. Not having to pack a pair of casual shoes saves weight as pro travelers want to travel light. Great Job Rockport!!

Shoes fit great (I purchased 12 W even though I wear 12 Medium because there were no 12 Ms available). They look very modern and feel very comfortable. They also slip on easily which now is most important to me.

Familiar with the ways of the world. Sometimes more so than you yourself it seems. Although growing up fast, older children still need support. In the car as well. Booster cushions give them a safe and comfortable ride until they are ready for the adult seat.
Seating & belting
Safety Science
Volvo solutions
Children, who have outgrown the rearward-facing seat, are shorter than 135 centimetres and who have not reached the age of ten, should use a booster cushion. The main reason for using a booster cushion is not to help the child to enjoy a better view, but rather to achieve the right belt geometry. The booster gives the child an increased height and directs the safety belt over the stronger parts of the body during a crash. The less slack there is, the better the belt will protect your child.
Research shows that it doesn't matter if the belt is partly on the child's neck. It may not look very comfortable, but it certainly won't strangle the child if there is an accident. The risk is much greater if the diagonal belt is worn too far out on the shoulder. This could allow it to slip further down the arm in the event of an accident. The child should never travel with the diagonal belt under both arms. In a crash, the child would be thrown further forward, with the risk of hitting some part of the car interior.
Volvo Cars is one of the few car makers who designs baby and child seats, made for and tested in their own cars. We provide a range of restraints to meet the different needs of babies to 12 year olds. These seats are appropriate for children of: Age: 4 years – 12 years or 135cm Weight: 15 kg - 36 kg.
Volvo's new booster seat with backrest helps position a child at the correct height for the safety belt and is designed to optimise side impact protection.
Allows the child to sit high enough for both the safety belt and head restraint to provide proper protection.
Keep in mind
All children must be properly restrained. Always.
Children must never be placed in the passenger seat if the airbag is active.
Older children should use a booster cushion until they are 135 centimetres tall and at least ten years old.
The lap section of the belt must always be worn as low down as possible, and not across the stomach.
The diagonal section of the belt should sit firmly across the shoulder and chest. It does not matter if the belt touches the neck.
Never place the torso belt under the arm or behind the back.
Remove any slack after you have fastened the child's safety belt.
At a speed of only 40 km/h (just under 25 mph), a child who normally weighs only 30 kg (66 pounds) will suddenly weigh the equivalent of a tonne in the event of a collision with an unyielding object.
If that child is unrestrained in the back seat, he or she risks serious injury or even death if the car collides head-on.
Using a booster cushion, the child runs an approximately 75% lower risk of being injured compared to being unrestrained.
Hard facts
Did you know?
Safety has always been the guiding principle behind everything we do at Volvo Cars.
Volvo started researching child safety in the early 1960s. The first rearward-facing child restraint was launched in 1972.
Volvo Cars continues its child safety development as can be seen in the Volvo V70 and XC70 innovative integrated child booster cushions.
Upholstery to integrated booster cushion
Further stabilized sitting position and seat protection.
Sleeping pillow
Adding extra head support for children weighing between 9 and 18 kg.
Rear Seat Entertainment
A DVD-based entertainment system with two 7-inch wide screens integrated in the back of the front head restraints.
Cabin filter
Prevents dust, pollen and exhaust particles from entering the cabin via the ventilation system.
Play video
Booster seat with backrest (15–36 kg)
Integrated booster cushion
When your child outgrows the child safety seat it's time to sit on Volvo's booster cushion
This ensures the right position for the safety belt to fit properly
and makes the journey more comfortable.
The adjustable backrest gives extra support and protection
for the back and neck and can be tilted for sleeping.
Of course children shall travel as comfortable and safe as adults.
To further improve safety for children we have reinforced the side-impact protection system
with a stronger body structure and extended inflatable curtains
We have also developed the world's first height-adjustable integrated booster cushion
We recommend that children weighing between 15 and 36 kg should be seated
and securely belted on a booster cushion.
This helps position children at the right height for the safety belt to work properly.
In a Volvo, they can.
Volvo's new two-stage integrated child booster cushion
helps add protection as well as comfort and convenience.
Because children come in different sizes,
the booster cushion can be adjusted in two heights.
Smaller children will enjoy the elevated seating position which gives them a better view.
And when the children are happy, the driver can concentrate more on driving.
As the children grow, just lower the booster cushion to suit the needs of an older child.
This also makes it more easy to convince the child to actually use the booster cushion
Both seat heights will help optimize the safety belt geometry
Together with the safety belt load limiter
this will help reduce the strain on the neck and chest in an impact.
And when the booster cushions are not needed
they're easily folded into the rear seat cushions.
The upper setting is designed for children measuring 95-120 cm
and weighing between 15 and 25 kg while the lower setting is intended for children
between 115 and 140 cm in height and weighing between 22 and 36 kg.
The instinct to protect our children is deeply imbedded within us.
It's an instinct, born of love.
In a few minutes this car will travel at a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h)
straight into this solid barrier.
In the car will be two children
One child that is 18 months old, and one child that is 3 years old.
My personal motivation to study this subject, began when
my sister was pregnant and I began asking questions like
How effective is the seatbelt during pregnancy.
How should it be worn and what is the effect on the mother and baby in a crash
This 18 month old child will be a part of our crash test.
It is one of our crash test dummies that has been calibrated to make sure all the data is gathered correctly.
To answer some of these questions we built Linda.
Volvo's first computer model of a pregnant crash test dummy.
The expectation is that in the future
Linda will answer many questions like the one's I've raised.
The test was very successful.
Everything indicates that the children in the car are completely unharmed.
A rear facing child seat in a safe car is the safest way to travel.
Volvo has more than 35 000 accidents registered in its database
and except in one extreme case, no child has been killed in a rear facing safety seat.
But what we know right know is that it is imperative to wear the seatbelt
during pregnancy, at all times and to wear it correctly.
To wear the belt correctly, the torso belt needs to run in between the breasts
and to the side of the abdomen and the lap belt must be as low as possible under the belly,
sitting on the left and right pelvic bones.
Rear facing seats are the safest ones. Children should be facing backwards for as long as possible
at least until they are 3-4 years old
When the child gets too big
it is time to start using a front facing booster seat
The idea is that the seat belt should be fastened over the hips or thighs
rather than over the stomach, and the torso belt should be positioned over the shoulder to keep the child as safe as possible
But what's important to remember is that
it's not only us performing research that is going to safe lives
It's relaying the knowledge we gain from the research today
to parents and insuring that they utilize this knowledge to safe their children's lives
This is what will make a difference
With today's rigorous testing and careful designs
It's never been easier to take responsibility

Lovely skirt!
I bought this skirt a few months ago and I wore it twice with a colorful blouse - I feel sexy in it!

Love the skirt
I'm very slim (size 0P) with a narrow waist. It's very hard for me to find a skirt that will sit on my waist. This skirt is very flattering. It shows my narrow waist and makes my legs look longer. Happy customer. Wish they come in black and gray!
September 4, 2013
Finally, the skirt that's great for work and play. The knee length makes it work appropriate while the flirty flounce makes it perfect for a fun night out. The cut is very figure flattering, and it makes my legs look great. I only wish they had it in more colors.

Not my favorite
Okay, I love the Limited's skirts usually, they fit me favorite well (I'm 5'4, size 4) but this one is meant for taller women. It's much longer on me than the rest of their business skirts and the shape is unflattering. Still cute, but not as great as the others I've purchased.
May 16, 2013
I absolutely LOVE this skirt & receive compliments every time I wear it. Great color. Love the flounce hem. Perfect for business office environment. Timeless. I'm addicted to Limited pants & skirts - just can't say enough good things.

Budgets Rise Health costs hit Vt. schools
Vermont school districts are facing a dilemma: Keep budget increases small while facing rising insurance costs, dwindling federal aid and the realities of deferred maintenance and equipment purchases.
But voters are facing an average school budget increase of 4.6 percent, based upon data from 250 of the 274 school districts in the state. The increases are driven in part by more expensive health insurance.
While insurance costs have been rising for most people in the public and private sectors, school districts have seen modest increases in recent years until now.
Right now, were predicting health costs will go up 10.7 percent starting July 1, said Laura Soares, president of the Vermont School Boards Insurance Trust, which provides health insurance to all public schools in the state.
This year is different on many fronts, she said, pointing first to the uncertainties surrounding the federal Affordable Health Care Act, which goes into effect in 2014.
Schools are now proposing budgets for July 1 through June 30, 2014.
Over the past decade, we have been able to offer (insurance) costs that were very favorable, Soares said. This year is an anomaly.
Insurance rates through the Vermont School Boards Insurance Trust have risen 7.3 percent during the past 10 years, and 2.9 percent during the last five years.
After looking at small (insurance) increases for so long, this is really hard, said Ken Page, executive director of the Vermont Principals Association.
Also missing from the revenue side of school budgets will be federal dollars from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which many districts used to stave off staff cuts or to keep their budgets low.
Keeping budgets flat has caught up to many districts, said Jeff Francis, executive director of the Vermont Superintendents Association.
We are coming through a period of austerity, so were coming through a period of deferred maintenance, Francis said. Schools have put off making repairs, making improvements, purchasing new equipment for so long its come to a point where they can defer no longer.
It is uncertain how much the statewide school budget increases will affect the education property tax rate.
When the state Legislature sets the tax rate, it looks at education spending, which is the total of school budgets minus revenue sources.
Education spending across the state is rising 5.5 percent, higher than Tax Commissioner Mary Petersons forecast of 4.8 percent in December.
Under this scenario, the base education amount per pupil which has remained frozen at $8,723 for the past three years would rise to $9,151.
The Vermont education tax rate would rise 5 cents from 89 to 94 cents per $100 of assessed value for Vermont property owners and from $1.38 to $1.43 for nonresidents.
A bill before the Legislature, H.265, proposes most of these increases. However, the bill seeks to raise the nonresidential rate by an extra penny, to $1.44.
The bill passed the House Ways and Means Committee by an 8-3 vote last week and is now in the Appropriations Committee. The bill can be tracked online at www.leg.state.vt.us/database/status/status.cfm.
Its always a balancing act between a sound education and the interests of the taxpayers, said Francis of the Vermont Superintendents Association.
I was a principal for 21 years, said Page of the Vermont Principals Association, and Ive learned there are many things you have no control over. Eighty-five to 90 percent of costs are fixed, and we try to find cuts in the remaining 10 to 15 percent.

Well, at least LMDE is based on Debian testing instead of Ubuntu.
Anyway, here's Clem's reply to the "controversy": http://segfault.linuxmint.com/2013/1...you-configure/
Some have pointed out that Debian sid isn't quick with kernel updates, but there are some other options than running vanilla sid kernel. The siduction team (esp. 'towo') keeps their kernel pretty close to upstream, and I use that.
I really wish Mint would get off the Ubuntu train and just follow Debian sid with rolling release model.
Well, at least LMDE is based on Debian testing instead of Ubuntu.
Anyway, here's Clem's reply to the "controversy": http://segfault.linuxmint.com/2013/1...you-configure/
There is no password for root (it doesn't mean you can log without password, it means you cannot log directly as root, with ssh for example).
For administrative tasks, users must be in the sudoers file, and use sudo, with their own password.
If you are admin (ie sudoer), you can su to root, but with your own password.
You still won't get updates for Firefox or other packages provided by the Mint repos because they are pinned with a higher priority than Ubuntu packages. Mint's policy is to prioritize features and stability over security - for example in Mint 12 they shipped a vulnerable Java version for which there had been remote exploits in the public but they did not see the need to take action on this. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/890278
Ubuntu uses sudo (I thought it stood for superuser do, but see now that it just is substitute user do) together with no root account
(well of coerce there is one as it's still Linux but I don't have a password and can't be used). Everything that requires root permissions
have to go through sudo which, this is very good because if you have multiple users with root/sudo rights you will see which one who
actually did al those creepy stuff.
By default the first account is allowed to use sudo and uses it by providing its own password.
So no you are not root by default and you are required to enter your own password, the logs will say that your account is responsible.
Other accounts are not sudoers by default.
I think we might have a whole new controversy here.
What the fuck is this about then?Originally Posted by Clem

Answering controversy: Stability vs Security is something you configure
by clem 33
18 Nov 2013 | General
I hear a Canonical dev was more opinionated than knowledgeable and the press blew what he said out of proportion. I wouldnt mind too much, if we werent finding ourselves answering questions from panicked users rather than working on what matters right now (i.e. Mint 16 RC).
So Ill be brief.
About package updates:
We explained in 2007 what the shortcomings were with the way Ubuntu recommends their users to blindly apply all available updates. We explained the problems associated with regressions and we implemented a solution were very happy with.
Anybody running Mint can launch Update Manager -> Edit -> Preferences and enable level 4 and 5 updates, thus making their Linux Mint as Secure and Unstable as Ubuntu.
Screenshot from 2013-11-18 14:31:53
About Firefox updates:
Linux Mint uses the same Firefox package as Ubuntu from the same repository. Firefox is a level 2 update so every Mint user receives it by default.
LMDE, which is not based on Ubuntu, uses its own Firefox package. Weve been slow in updating it by the past in LMDE (and thats probably what confused the Canonical developer) but we took action and automated that. Firefox 25 was released on the 29th of October and updated in LMDE on the 30th.
I personally talked to the legal dept. at Canonical (for other reasons, theyre telling us we need a license to use their binary packages) and it is clear they are confused about LMDE and Mint. They dont know what repositories were using and they dont know what were doing. Were 2 years younger than them and they have no idea how many users we have (they use http://stats.wikimedia.org/archive/s...ingSystems.htm but dont realize our user agent is Ubuntu since the days of Firefox 4 Mint 9 if I remember correctly).
I dont really mind what people at Canonical understand or do not understand about us. I understand why the press and media sell controversy. I just really dont want to waste time with this.
From the feedback were getting so far, people love Mint 16 RC and weve got a superb release in our hands. Its also full of bugs (https://github.com/linuxmint/Roadmap) and what we really want to do right now is not answer questions about how some guy who never ran Mint thinks its unsecure but get back to the code and fix as much as we can for Mint 16 to outperform Mint 15.
If you were unaware of this controversy and youre sad to see negativity, Id like to apologize. I had to cut this short and make a public statement because the easiest way for us to focus on what matters and ignore this controversy is by linking people to this statement and not waste time answering people one by one, on the forums, on the IRC, and all over the Web.
That will be a GPL violation for any package distributed under the GPL. It will also cause a lot of people to stop contributing to Ubuntu, and force distros based on Ubuntu to dump them for Debian versions. If Ubuntu is REALLY going to act like Apple and try to stop derivative distros, there will be no choice but to throw them out of the open source community. Software you can be harassed by lawyers for redistributing is by definition NOT free and open source software. This could be a real test of the GPL in court if Ubuntu is really trying to go that way.
I am finished with Ubuntu if this story is confirmed, but will have to use a mishmash of PPAs targetting Ubuntu over Debian to mantain my system. Will be a dificult migration, starting with adding Debian Unstable to sources.list, setting APT to prefer Debian to Ubuntu, and then allowing updates over time to sweep out Ubuntu packages until I can migrate the startup system to whatever Debian transitions to (probably systemd if Upstart gets caught in this mess).
This is very serious if it is true and not FUD or someone's overreaction.
That an uninformed/under-informed ubuntu developer could cause this much angst...
The "auto update manager" fight of ubuntu v mint is spreading all over net...
One thing that I see going against the pro-Canonical side of this debate is their recent dumbing-down of
update process in 13.10.....
I like the idea of having the individual choice to decide what is best for me. I do not wish to have a automatic "ubuntu patch-Tuesday" like M$ now has ....or is it "crash-Tuesday?"
To me, linux has and will be a matter of personal choice, not the amount of fan-boy press one can create.
An operating system is only as secure as it's operator.

It's special to write a post inspired by the new book by my friend, Sybil Stershic, a champion of the key role employees play in the success of any organization. Sybil gives voice to the intimate connection between marketing effectiveness and the engagement of employees who deliver on the organization's promises.
Her first book, Taking Care of the People Who Matter Most: A Guide to Employee-Customer Care framed her message for business. This book, Share of Mind, Share of Heart: Marketing Tools of Engagement for Nonprofits, aligns marketing strategies with employee engagement essentials tailored to the challenges faced by nonprofits. The book's concise principles and guide format will help you frame a plan. It's rare to have a marketing guide specific to the needs of nonprofits. Sybil has filled the void.
It's a downer when we murmur to ourselves at work, "My heart's just not in it today." It's even worse when we realize we feel that way most days.
Explaining away malaise may be easier when we're doing work that feels mechanical without an "I'm making a difference" dimension.
What's not so easy is feeling de-energized even when the work we're doing, either paid or unpaid, fills an important human need in the community through a nonprofit organization.
I've been there myself. Years ago I worked for Head Start where my job included all of these duties: grant writing, coordinating volunteers and parent programs, supervising cooks and bus drivers, and schlepping government surplus food. Yes, there were many days when my mind knew how important the work was but my heart couldn't overcome the weariness.
Nonprofit jobs are just as demanding today, maybe more so. Employees in nonprofits are the mission's engine. Most aren't there to get rich but to enrich. Nonprofit leaders need to recognize that their jobs include being in service to their employees.
The essential link
Most nonprofit leaders face challenges to sustain their organizations, meaning they need to bring in the revenues that keep things going.
What too many leaders forget is that they need to invest considerable time and attention in their employees, the very people who are the real faces of the organization and the credible voices "marketing" the good work being done each day.
Sybil Stershic's new book, Share of Mind, Share of Heart: Marketing Tools of Engagement for Nonprofits, provides nonprofit leaders with a fresh and practical approach to marketing their organizations with an inside-out strategy.
She starts by reminding us that:
Proactively marketing your nonprofit enables you to:
- create an effective presence in the marketplace that helps differentiate you from competing organizations, and
- pursue your mission through positive relationships with your stakeholders (consumers, members, volunteers, donors, referral sources, influencers, etc.)
Then she quotes marketing professor Philip Kotler who posits that: "'marketing is supposed to build up…share of mind and share of heart for the organization.'"
Further defining this concept, Sybil writes that:
- share of mind "is about creating and maintaining public awareness of your organization"
- share of heart "is creating and maintaining an emotional bond with people who are important to your organization."
Leadership is the mission within the mission in successful nonprofits. Executive directors and all others managing operations need to balance their marketing outward look with an internal one.
The employee as marketer
Taking employees for granted or inadvertently making them feel that way invites an organizational downward spiral. It's like shooting yourself in your marketing foot.
Sybil reminds us that:
Engaged employees stay for what they give–they like their work and are able to contribute, whereas disengaged employees stay for what they get–a comfortable job, good salary, and decent job conditions. Who would you rather have work in your organization?
She makes this essential point:
An "inside-out marketing" approach enables you to take care of …internal stakeholders so they can take care of your external stakeholders…."
Many nonprofit leaders then ask: "How do I do that?"
Sybil's answer is straight-forward:
To gain employee and volunteer commitment and facilitate their engagement with an organization, internal marketing strategy is based on what I call 'The Three Rs Formula':
- Respect–ensure your staff members and volunteers have the necessary tools and support to do their work.
- Recognition–catch them doing something right.
- Reinforcement–continually support a mission-based, customer-focused culture.
She drives home her point writing:
The difference in how volunteers and employees are treated on a daily basis depends on the management style of the…people in charge. Are employees and volunteers recognized and respected for their roles in fulfilling the mission or are they considered disposable commodities?
Minds and hearts
Nonprofit employees are the faces and voices of the organization and its mission. They need to have their hearts and minds fully engaged to feel fulfilled.
Nonprofit leaders need to pay attention to what employees need and listen when they provide feedback, verbally or by their actions.
Marketing needs to be an organic function that starts with a strong internal message voiced by engaged employees. When the heart and mind work together, we can make big things happen.
