How Do Employer Attitudes Impact Association Engagement?
Association Laboratory's research has consistently shown that employer circumstances impact association engagement for trade and professional societies.
Key forces impacting employer circumstances include the following:
ROI Consciousness
Organizations and the individuals they employ are more conscious of the specific return on investment (ROI) of their membership dues, association product purchases, or personal commitment of time - these circumstances impact engagement.
The recent economic downturn has created a climate wherein employers minimize expenditures not essential to the company's product or service, or a person's direct professional goals or responsibilities.
Economic uncertainty fuels employer caution in several areas:
The following chart from a recent study highlights the importance of relevance to organizational and personal goals related to content.
Organizations and individuals are not necessarily value conscious or price sensitive. They are willing to pay but only for products, services, or initiatives they deem relevant ore essential.
Change in Employer Structure
The second important factor identified in the research was changes in employer structure.
In Association Laboratory's environmental scanning study Looking Forward 2014 23% of professional and 41% of trade association executives believed mergers, acquisitions, or consolidations would impact their association.
Consolidation creates smaller numbers of larger organizations.
This reduces the number of companies and individuals to be engaged. For example, in the Building Managers and Owners Association, historically, each building had a manager who was targeted for membership. Now, if five buildings are managed by a single entity there is only one person to engage, and this person now controls a larger organization with a substantially larger budget.
Changes in Government Behavior
Restrictive Government Funding
National governments are large customers in the economy. From teacher salaries to healthcare outlays and infrastructure investment, national governments are a substantive source of economic activity. As a larger portion of government expenditures become devoted to existing entitlements and debt payments, fewer funds are naturally available for investment in other initiatives.
Many local, state/provincial, and national governments continue to face challenging economic situations. The negative environment for substantive increases in income tax revenue, particularly within the United States and the EU Zone, may make it difficult to substantively increase government revenue through tax increases.
Government Focus on Revenue
Governments will initiate more aggressive efforts to collect revenue.
As noted earlier, local, state/provincial, and national governments, particularly in the United States and Europe, face substantive revenue and debt challenges. This creates incentives for these governments to implement policy changes designed to increase tax and fee revenue.
While the public is resistant to increased taxes, governments have been willing to increase taxes, particularly on the middle and upper classes, as evidenced by the reinstatement of the full Social Security tax on the middle class in the United States. The necessity of financing increasing entitlement costs and paying large public debt in the United States and the EU Zone will increase the focus of government on expanding revenue sources and collection.
The result will be renewed focus on user fees and eliminating traditional tax breaks (for example for nonprofit activity) to generate additional revenue.
Increased Regulatory and Compliance Costs
In Looking Forward 2014, 41% of respondents stated their members were concerned about increased regulatory and compliance costs.
Organizations will face increased costs because of new regulatory and compliance requirements and more aggressive efforts by state/provincial and national governments to regulate industries and professions in order to collect more revenue.
Companies that have to increase expenditures in regulatory and compliance activities may represent an opportunity for education or other services for associations but this investment may also reduce the funds available to support other forms of engagement.
In summary, Associations need to monitor how employing organizations are changing and how the government relationship with employing organizations shape their decisions because these have substantial impact on the ability of people within these organizations to engage with the association.

«Amazay Lake Photo by Patrice Halley Draft Submission to the Kemess North Joint Review Panel May, 2007 Report Prepared By: Loraine Littlefield Linda ...»
"They have their own agenda already. What impressed me the most about any kind of industry moving in, whether it be logging, BC Hydro, or mining people, is they already have their plan. They have already made long term plans about what they're going to do […] and then way after – it's almost as an after thought – they come and see First Nations people." The overall message from the interviewees is that the environmental impact assessment process and government consultation are not effectively including First Nations knowledge or values. Both the Tsay Keh Dene and Takla Lake First Nation have extensive knowledge of the region where Kemess operates; for example, they know about fish and wildlife populations, health and migration patterns (discussed in previous sections), as well as areas of archaeological importance. However, this knowledge belongs to Tsay Keh Dene and Takla Lake First Nation. They want to be in control of the research and how it is used. Unfortunately, insufficient resources and ineffective consultation practices make it difficult to participate.
There is frustration that traditional environmental knowledge (TEK), cumulative impacts and acknowledgement of title and rights are not effectively included in the process.
Often, mistrust in the government is expressed. As one participant explains, working with the government means working in accordance to "their policies, not ours." He goes on to say that First Nations have an emotional connection to the land that the government
doesn't understand. Another interviewee sums up her feelings thus:
"We want to be dealt with truthfully and we want our issues looked at. It's not that the people here are against any kind of economic development. We realize that there is jobs needed, money is needed. This is right in our face every day because we have no economic base right now here, so we understand that; that is very clear. But the most important thing to us, that takes precedence over everything, is safety."
b. Compensation
Compensation is an issue that was mentioned by several interviewees. There is fear based on experience that resources that are extracted from the First Nations' territories benefit only the companies, and not the First Nations. One interviewee claimed that if there was compensation in the form of annual monetary supplements controlled by the band and distributed equitably towards housing, the mine might be worth it. The overall perception, however, is that the mine will benefit very few community members and only for a short time; when it is finished operating, even those few benefits will cease and there will be a great deal of environmental contamination left behind that will serve to diminish any independence the communities have.
4. Environmental Values a. Connection to land/environment "They want to get ahead and they don't think about what they're doing to the beauty of the land, how they're destroying it." Each of the previous sections in this report is directly related to this section about values.
This is the most important section, because it is the particular way in which the environment is valued by Takla Lake First Nation and Tsay Keh Dene people that defines what is at risk for them. Through discussions and interviews with members of Takla Lake First Nation and Tsay Keh Dene, it is evident that the environment is valued holistically.
In other words, the environment is connected to physical and emotional health, culture, identity and social infrastructure, and moreover, each of these is interconnected.
For example, having access to a healthy environment is important to physical health because it supplies excellent sources of nutrition (wild game, fish and plants), which require exercise to acquire. It is also important to maintaining culture and identity because the act of participating in traditional food systems is based on cultural knowledge and inheritance that contributes to having a First Nations identity. As one interviewee explains, "The land is really important. It's who we are." Another says, "Our culture is keeping us alive. Our traditions keep us alive, focused and awake." Access to a healthy environment is important to maintaining the social infrastructure as well, because it contributes to individuals' health, and also because being on the land is a social activity that families do together. Older generations pass knowledge on to the younger generations so that the younger generations can also have access to a healthy way of life, and an understanding of their culture and identity. When young people are on the land with their elders, they learn how to hunt and process meat, but they also learn important social values, like sharing the meat with the community and important cultural values, such as showing respect by "giving back" to the land after an animal is killed.
Since the environment is valued holistically, cumulative impacts are vitally important to assessing the risk a project has on the local residents. Furthermore, an impact assessment that only recognizes the values of non-First Nations will not adequately calculate the impacts a project will have on First Nations, and thus it has a greater chance of impacting their health, particularly in the long term.
The environment also has spiritual value. Several interviews spoke about their connection to the land as a connection to their Creator. The environment is a crucial part of spiritual practice and experience, and the ability to act as a steward of the environment is a vital part of this connection. Many interviewees stated that they believe that First Nations people are responsible for protecting the land and that doing so is fundamental to their spiritual identity. One interviewee explains her frustrated spirituality like this: "God has made First Nations people stewards of the land. And right now industries are making it really hard to be a good steward, you know?"
b. Long-term vs. short-term
Time frame reflects environmental values. Because the environment plays such a central role in the overall health and identity of Takla Lake First Nation and Tsay Keh Dene people, there is a strong understanding in these communities of the importance of longterm sustainability. The phrase "long-term" for these two First Nations refers to thousands of years into the future. This is an example of how different values lead to different meanings for the same words, and thus, if the meaning applied by Takla Lake First Nation and Tsay Keh Dene are not acknowledged, the outcome of the environmental impact assessment lacks relevance for these two Nations.
c. Homeland vs. uninhabited/unused land
The area around Kemess South and the proposed Kemess North operation are not uninhabited. Company and government representatives have attempted to characterize the area as remote and not regularly used. Frequently, non-First Nations people identify locations of importance only through their direct and continued use, but residing in a precise location and using it every day (i.e., a house inside a picket fence) is only one way that a place can be perceived as valuable. It does not, however, reflect the First Nations' view. The Amazay Lake area is regularly used and occupied, and has been for thousands of years. It is considered the heartland of the Tse Keh Nay territory and reflects a different way of using and valuing the land; it is considered a homeland and vitally important to the people who have frequented the area their entire lives.
d. Use
The land is used by both the Takla Lake First Nation and the Tsay Keh Dene. Up until recently, these Nations lived entirely on the land, returning seasonally to regularly used hunting, fishing and gathering sites. Land use has changed in the last century as the two First Nations were sedentarized by the reserve system, however, many people continue to spend a great deal of time on the land participating in traditional ways of life.
The notion that the land is uninhabited and unused is false. The people of these two communities hunt and fish regularly, each year at various times staying in family camps.
Amazay Lake and the surrounding areas are covered in trails, burial sites and camp sites, as well as fishing, hunting and plant gathering areas. During an interview that took place on the shore of Thutade Lake (near Amazay Lake), the participant noted that he had found many arrowheads and other artifacts in the span of two days. Another well-known story tells of two young hunters killing a mammoth by running past each other under its belly with their spears sticking up. Thus, there is both physical evidence and oral histories that confirm the long term use and occupancy of this land by Tse Keh Nay people.
Other interviewees mentioned places and trails that they regularly visited and used, and that their ancestors regularly visited and used. The trails were how the Tse Keh Nay people stayed connected to each other. According to one participant, the family system was maintained by "the pathways and highways of our elders." It is an important area to gather "mountain medicine," which is herbal plants that are found in the mountains and used for healing. There are sacred places where people will not go and stories about the lakes and rivers in the Amazay Lake area. For example, many people spoke of the area as being an important location for the region's First Nations to gather, feast, share information and arrange marriages.
This project with Takla Lake First Nation and Tsay Keh Dene explored the perceptions of risk in the context of the proposed Kemess North mine. Through interviews with participants from both communities it is determined that perceptions of risk are influenced by environmental values. This research revealed how the values and perceptions of risk of the dominant culture are privileged by the environmental assessment process, while the values, perceptions of risk and knowledge of the two First Nations have generally been excluded. Moreover, it is argued that environmental values and perceptions of risk are inextricably linked to the overall health and well-being of the two First Nations.
The findings of this research indicate that current models of risk are limited by the popular notion that risk is a measurable property because it fails to account for important cultural factors that contribute to the construction of risk. Cultural characteristics, such as food preferences, play a significant role in how risk is perceived, and yet these realities continue to be left out of risk assessments. Such omissions result in risk management strategies that are culturally discriminating, prescribing lifestyle changes to the less dominant culture such as risk avoidance (i.e., avoiding contaminated country foods).
Environmental impact assessment is the primary political process through which issues of competing environmental values and perceptions of risk are assessed. These risk assessments tend to represent the values of the proponents of resource extraction and development, and, as a result, First Nations are systematically ignored in official processes of project approval.
In the case of Kemess North, the risk assessment undertaken by Northgate Minerals failed to effectively represent risk to First Nations on several key issues. For example, the value assigned to Amazay Lake did not reflect Takla Lake First Nation or Tsay Keh Dene values, which resulted in strong opposition to the project. Determining the risk of transforming a lake into a tailings disposal facility is a subjective process and Northgate's environmental impact assessment weighs the costs and benefits of the plan according to its own values and understandings.
Northgate also failed to include groundhog in its wildlife studies, and thus, completely omitted this species from the risk assessment because it was not deemed important.
Groundhog, however, is a staple food that continues to be hunted and eaten regularly by Takla Lake First Nation and Tsay Keh Dene. It is part of Tse Keh Nay cultural heritage, and its flesh and fat are considered to have medicinal properties. People from both Takla Landing and Tsay Keh Dene have noticed a decline in groundhog population and signs of poor health are evident. Northgate's exclusion of the groundhog clearly reveals the subjectivity of risk assessments. The dominant culture does not eat groundhog and, therefore, it is not valued; the risks to it, and to the people who rely on it, are not weighed. The social and cultural aspects of risk need to be acknowledged in environmental impact assessments and other risk assessments to foster a more inclusive model and to protect the health and ways of life of non-dominant and marginalized groups.
The findings of this case study also support other research that conceptualizes First Nations' health as inextricably linked to the land through physical, spiritual, cultural, social and economic processes. This research proposes that health is also greatly influenced by political processes. That is, the failure to include First Nations' environmental values and concerns in the process of EIA results in inadequate risk assessments that undermine First Nations' health and well-being.
While it could be argued that this study is limited by the exclusion of Northgate in the interviews, it was decided that Northgate's viewpoints have been clearly expressed in various pubic forums (e.g., their own publications, studies, public presentations, letters to the editor and media accounts). The First Nations' perspectives, on the other hand, were not as well represented in these different public forums. This research brings to the fore the subjectivity present in Northgate's environmental impact assessment and suggests that Takla Lake First Nation and Tsay Keh Dene have valid claims of knowledge and values that should be included in the risk assessment.

text: Personal bankruptcies are climbing at a rate of about 10% each year here in Michigan, and a significant factor is said to be the drop in overtime for autoworkers. Overtime has dropped from an average of about 8 hours/week a decade ago to under 3 hours/week this year, as reduced production takes its toll. Regardless, there are a lot of people who count on an extra five or ten hours a week, assuming that it'll be there in the future just because it was in the past. Really, though - someone's pay drops to $87,000/year and that forces a bankruptcy? Get Dave Ramsey on the case, ASAP. Deserving of scorn or not, this is the sort of thing that tends to have ripple effects throughout the economy, and one has to wonder how long it will be until the auto industry starts feeling some pain.

Start of the Seminar and an Evening Reception
The Guru Puja being over we are now following the seminar in the retreat centre. Or at least trying to follow. It started yesterday in the morning and I had caught a little flue with fever. During the fire ritual in the morning I was surprised how fast it went by – I was sleeping most of the time – and rushed to bed afterwards, feeling weak and dizzy. But I didn't want to miss the lecture. So I sat there and typed notes, a method of staying awake, and either this or the homoeo medicine did its work – at least the fever went away and the head became clearer.
Then again sleeping nearly all of the time till the afternoon lecture, which again kept me awake and well energised in the Presence by taking notes (I'm sending them after the lecture to the WTT mailing list, in case you are interested, please contact me). It is always thrilling for me to follow the lessons of Sri Kumar. He is speaking about the correspondences between Purusha, the cosmic person, and the different layers in us humans as microcosm, a topic interesting me since long.
In the evening we were invited to his house for a reception on the roof. He is so generous, every year we receive a sumptuous meal and afterwards gifts. Music playing, chearful talks under the night sky, an inspiring ambiance.
And today I'm already much better, the head is clear again, just a strong cold – it seems that my etheric body still can improve in warding off the effects of cold winds at a corner of the Guru Puja some days ago…
The room where Master EK used to live in the house of Sri Kumar – repainted. I love the vibrating atmosphere there and had a short meditation.
Ladies on the roof of the house – Shanti, daughter of Sri Kumar, Kumari and some Argentineans – the didn't post for me, but I took the pic 🙂

I tend to think of myself as a person without routines but the fact is that I have routines, I simply don't like them. I routinely get up in the morning mere moments before I need to leave, and as a result I leave without a packed lunch or having eaten breakfast. I routinely roll into the office at precisely 2 minutes AFTER 8:30, technically making me late. And there are other things, like my routine of rarely doing dishes after cooking, and staying up to watch the Late Late Show with TV's Craig Ferguson, only to be too lazy to mess with the antenna to get the picture to come in. Did I not tell you that our house runs on rabbit-ear antennae and dial-up internet? True story.
So, if we do things that we don't like, or that we know are not smart, and seeing that are bothered by it, why not change it? Let's take breakfast as an example. I know that it's a good idea to eat breakfast. I'm typically hungry in the morning, and well, if I don't eat something by 11 I've already descended into a blood sugar low, resulting in a profound fatigue, crankiness, and eventually a headache that takes hours to remedy. (I'll post an entry about my love/hate relationship with Excedrin Migraine at another time.) I KNOW this. What's that definition of insanity... something about repetitiveness and result? Anyway, one thing leads to another, meaning if I'm up late, and wake late, there's no time for breakfast. And if I cooked supper the night before, but didn't do dishes and didn't pack up any leftovers, I've got no lunch to take. But breakfast is easy... a bowl of cereal or oatmeal, some toast, an egg, whatever. Where do I horn in on my own neurosis to change things up? What do I fix first? Is it more likely that I'll remedy getting up late, or should I throw the makings of a breakfast in my stylish Rivera Maya Mexico tote and carry it with me to work? Before you chime in, let me say that I tried that, and it worked for a period of time, but then somebody stole my whole grain oat bread out of the fridge so I'm left with strawberry jam and unsalted butter and nothing to shmear it on. I should probably drop this grudge against Anonymous and try again.
There is a cafe downstairs that has a fine selection of breakfast and lunch items but I have 2 issues with the cafe... first, I have no business spending $7 on a muffin and hot cocoa when for 1/2 that I could buy a tub of oatmeal that would feed me for weeks and weeks. A muffin is a treat, not breakfast. And OH! they've got this sick hashbrown casserole that's more or less a heart attack in a styrofoam cup (available in 2 sizes) that's super delicioso, the greasier the better, out of this world when there's cheese oil at the bottom of the cup. Second thing is the styrofoam itself. I mean, it's styrofoam. One day I noted that my office trash can was full after buying breakfast AND lunch downstairs. I've asked for things to be packed in just foil but the message doesn't seem to successfully travel from the cashier order-taker (and owner, by the way) to the preparer of the vittles. I once got a small clam-shell styrofoam box holding 3 pickle spears that were already wrapped in foil (per my request). Why the box, boys? This styrofoam thing is something that we too easily set out of our heads after we've dropped it into the trashcan. Thanks for using the trashcan, btw, and not throwing things out of your car, or leaving them wherever. If I see you litter you can be damned sure you'll hear from me. When I last visited the family in Amdo, Tibet, I threw all my proverbial weight around, admonishing the children (in 2 languages!) for wantonly dropping candy wrappers wherever they stood. Trash just blows through the streets there. But I digress...
My point is that it's not using good judgement to 1. buy "outside" (i.e. not homemade) food if it's more than an occasional treat or a purposeful outing, and 2. to buy anything that's unnecessarily packaged. I've tried bringing back my previously-used boxes but food service places frown on that type of recycling. Even as I ponder this no-buying shift (that shouldn't be a shift, but a good strong habit by now since my Dad taught me better than this), being that my mind is one that jumps, and tries to see all sides, I recognize that my patronage of this little mom-and-pop cafe is better than, say, my purchasing breakfast from a fast food joint, in that it supports local business, which supports Community, etc. etc. That's important but let's try to keep things rational. Somebody's value system is going to direct that they value a fine cup of coffee every morning, and since they've determined that it's valuable to them, they'll buy it. The joy I get from the "outside" food doesn't come close to the amount of work it takes to earn the money to buy the meal. Usually, it takes longer to earn the money than it does to eat the meal itself!
Ultimately my point is that I want to eat fresh food that's as natural as possible, and reduce my trash production so that Wall-E won't ever have to schlep a box, bag, or miscellaneous piece of Made-In-China crap on my behalf.
SO. Breakfast... yes! Homemade and nourishing. More money saved, health supported, and less trash produced.

More women identify themselves as Democrats than as Republicans. The disparity is yet greater among single women. It is possible (perhaps even likely) that this difference in partisan identification is due to (perceived) policy positions of Republicans and Democrats.
Now let's do a thought experiment: Imagine a couple about to have a kid. Also assume that the couple doesn't engage in sex-selection. Two things can happen – the couple can have a son or a daughter. It is possible that having a daughter persuades the parent to change his or her policy preferences towards a direction that is perceived as more congenial to women. It is also possible that having a son has the opposite impact — persuading parents to adopt more male congenial political preferences. Overall, it is possible that gender of the child makes a difference to parents' policy preferences. With panel data one can identify both movements. With cross-sectional data, one can only identify the difference between those who had a son, and those who had a daughter.
Let's test this using cross-sectional data from Jennings and Stoker's "Study of Political Socialization: Parent-Child Pairs Based on Survey of Youth Panel and Their Offspring, 1997".
Let's assume that a couple's partisan affiliation doesn't impact the gender of their kid.
Number of kids, however, is determined by personal choice, which in turn may be impacted by ideology, income, etc. For example, it is likely that conservatives have more kids as they are less likely to believe in contraception, etc. This is also supported by the data. (Ideology is a post-treatment variable. This may not matter if impact of having a daughter is same in magnitude as impact of having a son, and if there are similar numbers of each across people.)
Hence, one may conceptualize "treatment" as gender of the kids, conditional on the number of kids.
Understandably, we only study people who have one or more kids.
Conditional on number of kids, the more daughters respondent has, the less likely respondent is to identify herself as a Republican (b = -.342, p < .01) (when dependent variable is curtailed to Republican/Democrat dichotomous variable; the relationship holds — indeed becomes stronger — if the dependent variable is coded as an ordinal trichotomous variable: Republican, Independent, and Democrat, and an ordered multinomial estimated)
If what we observe is true then we should also see that as party stances evolve, impact of gender on policy preference of a parent should vary. One should also be able to do this cross-nationally.
Some other findings:
- Probability of having a son (limiting to live births in the U.S.) is about .51. This 'natural rate' varies slightly by income – daughters are more likely to be born among lower income. However effect of income is extremely modest in the U.S., to the point of being ignorable. The live birth ratio is marginally rebalanced by the higher child mortality rate among males. As a result, among 0-21, the ratio between men and women is about equal in U.S.
In the sample, there are significantly more daughters than sons. The female/male ratio is 1.16. This is 'significantly' unusual.
- If families are less likely to have kids after the birth of a boy, number of kids will be negatively correlated with proportion sons. Among people with just one kid, number of sons is indeed greater than number of daughters, though the difference is insignificant. Overall correlation between proportion sons and number of kids is also very low (corr. = -.041).

Fine if you want a hobby;
not ready for prime time if you use a computer as a tool.
I have never used Linux, but know that expert opinion is to the effect that it has won a niche in the server market and some specialized applications, but is still a hard stretch for PC use.
I kept my machine as a dual boot for a while. I really like Linux, but you have to be prepared to spend a lot of time fussing with it. There was a part of me that loved fussing with it...but then I'd need something done in a hurry, and I didn't know how, and I had to climb up that learning curve one more time.
www.lindows.com...smooth as silk
I use the Suse version of Linux which co-habitates well with the Windows operating systems.
You might do better with Mandrake. We had my daughter (17 yrs old) using it for several months, and she did just fine. I think the install is fairly simple as well. I don't recall if she or my husband installed it though.
I used SUSE a couple of years ago on my "office" machine, and it was pretty easy to use. I'd almost run it again just for the linux penguin version of Mr. Potato Head ;^)
Mandrake 10 or 9 are easy installs - and as always redhat. Most of the other distros are derivatives of redhat. I just got RH ES - ill be installing that this weekend.
Download the boot cd from mandrake and check out it out with out installing it
It works great and is solid. But like Apple, don't expect to find a lot of software, and you may also have problems finding all the drivers to make your equipment compatible. It is a very slow drip from the technology faucets...
Don't use it on your primary home system unless (a) you know what you're doing (b) you have a lot of time for twiddling.
I've used it off-and-on as dual-boot (and VMWare) for years, because there are a lot of good technical network tools.
But for day-to-day home use you might best stick to Windoze.
Or run it on a second home system if you're just getting up to speed on Linux (one of its virtues is that it's less demanding than Windoze, so you can run it on cheaper, secondhand gear).
You don't actually install it to your hard drive, though you can if you decide you like it.
Knoppix finds and installs hardware modems, but does not work with Winmodems. If you have broadband, it should find your network card without a problem.
The only way to know if Linux is appropriate for YOU is for YOU to actually try it, rather than listening to people with one agenda or another.
I installed Linux Mandrake 9.1 on a computer I bought without an operating system. It was slow and buggy. When I removed it, using the instructions from the Linux website, my HDD went belly up. The HDD manufacturer (Sony) says removing Linux voided the HDD waranty.
I bought Windows ME on Ebay for the same price I paid for Linux. Windows is lightyears ahead of Linux! IMHO.
It doesn't sound like you really know what you are doing.
Windows software can work under Linux using WINE, which emulates windows for the software. However, it can be very tricky to set up.
You really won't need any Windows software to do everyday computing. Most distros come with almost any software you would need. Openoffice.org gives a complete office suite, Mozilla or Firefox browsers for net surfing and there are several e-mail programs. There are only a few commercial games available for Linux, although most distros come with a ton of simple timewasters.
Set up your system dual boot or dedicate an older system to experiment with.
Windows is still a better option for the typical home user since most commercial software is Windows-only. Linux will work very well if you need a powerful server or an inexpensive box for web browsing and word processing.
If you use it for doing graphics, office-type stuff and internet, you may well find it to be a godsend to keep from having to deal with the virus windows of the day. If you want servers for stuff like webpages, or audio linux can do more than you can shake a stick at.
Some stuff that should be easy though, are not. Take printing for example. If you want to set up a local printer, no problem. Attaching to network printers isn't much trouble either. However, if you want to share your local printer with others on your local network, it's a PITA.
As far as your windows programs go, Linux will run windows programs under WINE, but unless you just really need to run the windows program, you're better off using the Linux equivalents. StarOffice is an excellent replacement for microsoft office, with the exception of ms project and visio.
If you use your computer for managing your personal finances, GnuCash is bloody awesome. With linux you have a choice of many different versions of software for many things. It might take a while for you to figure out exactly what you want, and what works best for you, but the time invested is better for you in the long run IMO, as once you learn how things work and have your system set up correctly, your system will run for quite a while without banging your head up against walls quite as much as you are probably used to.
One of the things that will keep me from ever using ms windows again is that I just can't use a computer anymore without having multiple desktops. I normally run with 8 separate desktops, each containing specfic programs so I always know where to find them. Given the type of support work I do, working within the limitations of windows would slow me down so much it just isn't even worth thinking about.
You do not mention what hardware you are trying to install this on. RH won't install on hardware that is too slow these days. For instance, the installer won't run on my Pentium 120 that I use as a firewall.
Also, do you actually mean Red Hat, or do you mean Fedora? I would try Fedora (from the Red Hat site), if you are trying to install RH 9.0.
what specifically are you having trouble with?
Red Hat isn't a favorite these days. Suse, Mandrake or Debian seem to be quite popular, better supported and more usable.
If you just want to test the Linux waters, download Knoppix and boot from a CD (save your config and files on a USB key or USB hard drive). OpenOffice and a couple web browsers, as well as lots of other software, are included.
I find it interesting that on my laptop OpenOffice for Linux opens faster from my Knoppix CD than OpenOffice for Windows does off the hard drive.
You can try FreeBSD out without risking your system by burning a bootable FreeSBIE boot CD. Basically, you download a CD image, burn it to a blank CD, then reboot.
If your PC is set to boot from CD-ROM, it will boot into FreeBSD. You can try it out, and if you don't like it, eject the CD, reboot, and you're back in Windows (or Linux) with no harm done and no lasting effect on your computer.
Obtain a reasonably powered used computer. Pentium II or III's work well. The more generic the better. Barebones and low cost kit computers work well also due to their generic nature. A hard drive with at least 2 gigs (laughable by today's standards), a BIOS capable of booting from a CD or alternately a 3.5 inch floppy drive, and a reasonable amount of RAM. Download your Slackware 10.0 iso file and burn to disk. Read the installation instructions on the CD and print them for reference. Boot the CD or optionally from the floppy boot images on your future linux box and follow the menu driven installation. After you've formatted the drive, created your filesystem, installed everything you want from the CD, and have written the boot information to the master boot record, remove the media, and reboot from the hard drive. Watch those wonderful boot messages scroll by. Log in as root. Start perusing your new file system. Look for something called "HOWTO" files in /usr/doc/ and use the program "less" to read them. They will be your bibles for a while. The program "man" is the basic help system, and the familiar DOS commands for filesystem navigation and manipulation (cd mkdir rmdir) work as usual, except del is now called rm and dir is now ls. Each evening after you tire of freeping, log into your linux box and learn more. A book or two from the library on unix works wonders. The more inquisitive you are, the faster you will learn. Disregard comments regarding lack of available software, unfit for the desktop and other mid-nineties mantras. That is the way grasshopper.
This will give you a chance to use it without committing. I for one popped it in and was immediately impressed. Next weekend, I will be installing either Red Hat or Mandrake completely.

"In 2004, St. Louis's So Many Dynamos released their debut full length, 'When I Explode.' It was not an Arcade Fire/Clap Your Hands Say Yeah indie rock breakout success story. It didn't catapult the band onto the front of magazine covers or land them backstage snorting lines off of Jack White's Grammy. It did however, do what debut full lengths should do for young bands from moderately ignored towns on small labels; it exposed the band to those willing to listen, received nods from Spin Magazine and Entertainment Weekly among others, and acted as the hypothetical fuel (read: cheaper than real fuel) to carry a GMC Vandura across over 30 states for over 200 shows. Now So Many Dynamos return with 'Flashlights', their second full length for Seattle's Skrocki Records.

For my next appointment, I need to talk to my doctor about the PPH that occurred after my son was born. Mount Caramel wasn't any help, all they could tell me was that my uterus didn't clamp down and I bled a lot. I didn't learn the term until I mentioned it at Riverside. I bled a lot. It was terrifying. I went from seeing this beautiful baby boy to having god awful teeth pain to being freezing cold. I was freezing and none of the doctors or nurses told me anything, although it didn't help that I was hysterical!
I remember the doctor having one hand inside of me and the other on top of my stomach. I remember the pain. The pressure. She was massaging my uterus to get the bleeding to stop. It was a sharp pain. I was given more oxygen. Then, after some time and some lame ass joke about getting the shits, they gave me pitocin to stop the bleeding. After a shot to the leg, I passed out. I don't know how long I was out for. I don't know what was going on during that time.
When I came to, I was disoriented. Still in the delivery room. Still a lot of action going on around me. Had a big warm blanket on me. Family were passing my son around and taking pictures (it was like I wasn't even there to them; they weren't even aware of the danger I was in!). I threw up. They mentioned something about me having lost a lot of blood. I was to take iron. I was the first to hold my son while in a twilight state and don't remember it at all. I wasn't able to hold him again until I got to the recovery room.
I wasn't even able to properly bond with my son until hours later. Even though it was out of my control, I still feel horrible about that. About not getting that initial experience that so many other mothers get. I felt cheated.
I'm terrified of it happening again. There are various factors that can lead to PPH, and Mt. Caramel never talked to me about the bleeding or possible reasons. I just learned of various reasons why from Baby Center (first link) and various other links.
For my next appointment, I'm going to talk to my doctor about how likely it is to occur again; and if we can have safeguards in place, like having blood and pitocin on hand. I'm scared that it's going to happen. I'm scared that I won't be able to hold my son, or even see my other son again. I'm trying to not think about the possibilities, but it's a reality that I shouldn't ignore either. It's a possibility that I need to talk to my doctor about and include in the birth plan.
I'm also drinking red leaf raspberry tea twice a week to try and tone my uterus, and to hopefully help to slow any bleeding that may occur.
I'm hoping that by going natural, the labor process won't take as long, there will be less stress when pushing, and hopefully that won't be another factor to PPH.
I'm just scared, and I'm doing as much research as I can and reading a lot of first hand accounts.

Women's Experiences of PPH in Their Own Words
These women keep saying that it's rare to have two cases of it, yet many of these same women have had more than one! Talk about conflicting information! Either it's rare or it's not; can't be both, yall!
Things will be different this time. Like I typed, I'm drinking uterus toning tea, I have experience, I'm going natural, I'm going to talk it over with my doctor and hopefully have what we need on hand, just in case. And if it can be helped, I don't want to be given pitocin during labor, like I was last time. Why? Because after they gave it to me, they shoved a freaking fetal monitor up inside me. It hurt like hell! And my son got stuck on it AND it left a red mark and a bruise on his head! The ones that are outside of your body, yeah, those are fine, but the ones that go inside, NO. Especially since I plan on going natural, I want to be able to move around if I feel the need.
Which I don't even know why they gave me pitocin the first time. My water broke naturally. But they started me on it, hence why they shoved a freakin monitor up there. Mt. Caramel didn't tell me shit. I was so naive. I wish I could remember more about my birthing experience, but I really can't. I was asleep for a lot of it and distracted by the excitement of having my baby.
Although About.com says, "Some hospitals and birth centers choose to give every woman a routine injection of pitocin to help prevent hemorrhage and to help ensure that the placenta comes quickly and easily."
This time, I going to be better educated on what's going to happen, too. I was completely ignorant of everything that was going on with me. The drugs given, the reasons why. In my head, it was just routine. Ain't nothing wrong with educating yourselves, ladies. Talk to your doctor, midwife, birthing center, hospital, whatever. Ask them what their steps are during birth. If you're unsure of something, ask! If you're not comfortable, talk about it!
Labor and delivery are also going to be more intimate, too. This time, I'm probably not going to have the mom's there. Especially if I'm able to go natural, no. No mom's. No aunt. No hot heads. It was stressful. After the first epidural wore off, I was in a lot of pain, and they were freaking out and threatening nurses. How ghetto is that? I get being protective and stuff, but that's just embarrassing and disrespectful! Those RN's didn't deserve to be treated in such a way! And it certainly didn't do me any favors.
If I do have any mom's, it'll be my mom, simply because my step mom was weirdly possessive over my son when he was ready to be held. Like, she swooped in and held him before my husband did! Then she didn't want to share him. WTF? If she doesn't like it, too fucking bad. Weirdo.
Although to be honest, my son will probably be in my mom's care, so it'll probably just be me and my husband. Regardless of who's in there when he's born, the first people to hold my son are going to be the parents first. EVEN if I have to wait to hold my son, due to PPH. I want to bond with him before other family push their way in and hold him. They can wait. I want it to be intimate. Family first. Me, my husband, and my son to meet the newest addition before everyone else.
Like we're going to tell people when I got into labor, but also tell them to not show up until after he's born.
The only thing I can do, is educate myself, talk to my doctor about it at my next appointment, and have faith that everything will go well this time.

Have you ever wondered if the Internet Age has sealed the coffin on old-fashioned school supply drives, just like it did chalkboards, slide rules, cursive, and cakewalks? If so, the answer to your question is a resounding "no"!
For the first era in history, school supply drives are now possible on a truly massive, national level. On 7/13/2017, Zappos will launch a major national school supply drive on behalf of the Kids In Need Foundation, to raise everything from pens, pencils, and paper for children in need.
Today, over 16 million children live in poverty and have difficulty obtaining the most basic school supplies. Lacking the requisite classroom supplies can harm a child's ability to succeed both inside and outside of the classroom.
While by some estimates the average teacher spends in excess of $500 on school supplies annually, the unmet need remains overwhelming. This is ultimately why school supply drives have graduated into the digital age and chalkboards, slide rules, cursive, and cakewalks have not.
During the Zappos campaign, called "Zappos for Good", Zappos will provide its customers with a link to a FREE shipping label. Customers may print the label and ship new school supplies directly to the Kids In Need Foundation for distribution to children in need.
Thanks to Zappos for this kind-hearted partnership.

As a result, U.S. entrepreneurs are returning to banks in large numbers seeking to finance real estate projects.
Searching for your First Apartment
Finding your first apartment can be one of the most exciting times in your life while also being one of the most overwhelming.

How Small Businesses Can Control Costs in the Early Stages
Owning a small business is an all-out battle to find the right balance between generating revenue and limiting costs. That's especially true in a business's first year, when finding a sustainable customer base requires investment.

You Want to Start a Business – How Should You Finance It?
Getting a small business off the ground is a huge achievement, but establishing financing on a solid footing is critical to whether an enterprise ultimately succeeds or fails.
As a banking officer dealing with financing requests every day, the most common question I hear from founders of startups is, "Should I finance with equity or debt?" I'm here to tell you, there are no pat answers. And even worse, it can be a life and death decision: More than 500,000 businesses are established in America annually but half of them fail within five years. The No. 1 reason for failure is a bad strategy backed by surplus optimism, but the next biggest cause of failure is a lack of funding.

Disney Cruise Crew Member Is Missing at Sea [UPDATE]
A crew member on the Disney Wonder went missing Tuesday morning. The ship disembarked from Los Angeles on Sunday and had been on the water for two days when the employee did not show up for work. Cruise officials searched every cabin and paged the missing person on the loudspeaker but didn't turn up any answers, according to Disney Cruise Lines spokeswoman Christi Donnan.
Travelers aboard the cruise to Mexico posted the news in a Disney online discussion forum, and today, Disney Cruise Lines released a statement acknowledging the situation.
Given the circumstances we are very concerned about this situation and are doing everything possible to assist with the search effort and investigation. The Mexican Navy has been conducting searches since Tuesday, and we immediately contacted the FBI and the Bahamian Maritime Authority, which is leading the investigation on this matter. We have also conducted a thorough and comprehensive inspection of the ship and spoken with the crew member's colleagues to gather as much information as possible.
A media representative said they are not releasing any further details about the missing employee out of respect for her family. No other details have been released, but we will update as the situation develops.
UPDATE: Authorities identified the crew member as 24-year-old Rebecca Coriam from Chester, England. When the ship docked on Sunday, Coriam's parents met with investigators and collected their daughter's belongings. Officials said Coriam made a phone call from the ship shortly before she was reported missing.They haven't told the family what the conversation was about, according to the Daily Mail.

Simon Telen - Polynomial system solving and numerical linear algebra
1 September 2017 –
(Joint work with Marc Van Barel)
lk is about the problem of solving zero-dimensional systems of polynomial equations using numerical linear algebra techniques. Let k be an algebraically closed field and let p_1 = p_2 = ... = p_n = 0 define such a system in k^n: p_i \in k[x_1,...,x_n]. It is a well known fact that the variety V(I) of the ideal I = <p_1, ..., p_n> is finite if and only if the quotient ring k[x_1, ..., x_n]/I is finite dimensional as a k-vector space. Multiplication in k[x_1, ..., x_n]/I by a polynomial f is a linear operation. Choosing a basis B for k[x_1, ..., x_n]/I, this multiplication can be represented by a matrix m_f called a multiplication matrix. The eigenstructure of these multiplication matrices reveals the solutions of the system. Methods using Groebner bases to calculate the multiplication matrices make an implicit choice for the basis of the quotient ring. From a numerical point of view, this is often not a very good choice. Significant improvement can be made by using elementary numerical linear algebra techniques on a Macaulay-type matrix, which is built up by the coefficients of the p_i, to choose a basis for k[x_1, ..., x_n]/I. In this talk we will present this technique and show how the resulting method can handle challenging systems.

Chronic mid back pain can be caused by quite various factors. Unfortunately is, the low back (lumbar region) is the main support for the bearing motions we all go through every day and especially susceptible to injury.
So far this year's hurricane season has been tame in comparison with to in 2009. Once again nature is showing the weather predictors they really don't have idea what they have to are discussing about. I understand there a storm with the rather romantic name of Ernesto tested to be active be bearing down on their own Gulf zone. I also understand that New Orleans is still built below sea-level and can also probably flood again sometime in my long time.
Contagious illness poses a far greater threat to this country. The swine flu / H1N1 outbreak shows how a presentation will appear on paper how this attack should be made. Infected individuals will make their method large population centers throughout the United Expresses. They would then do their far better spread fl citrus. Influenza lives on surfaces for many people hours so contaminating larger are touched very often such as doorknobs in public areas buildings or stair rails could spread the disease rapidly.
Whatever produces the chronic lower back pain can eventually lead additional problems as we compensate for our injuries. For example, if you have strained a muscle you will more than likely begin to carry yourself differently stay away from the torture. In doing so, you wind up over using muscles groups that weren't sore start with, and end program more pain in new areas.
The issue is that think stop right there. Men have a tendency to examine getting back together again s the goal, and do anything they can to reach that aspirations. Yet that is not the goal. The goal is to get back together and have a healthy, long-term relationship. Calls for no time in getting back together again if you are not in order to make it work, and when you take a getting back together as the only goal, the bound much more yourself reverting back to some old ways once your relationship has healed.
