From Central Penn Business Journal:
New data shows a large gap between people with less than a high-school diploma and those of other educational levels for economic indicators like median household incomes, poverty rates and unemployment rates in Central Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Partnerships For Children, a Harrisburg-based nonprofit child advocacy group, today released the data to push for increased state and local attention to the issue and to re-engage out-of-school youth, said Joan L. Benso, the group's president and chief executive officer.
Median Household Income is about $10,000 more for workers with at least a high-school degree in Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon and York counties, according to the data.
Poverty Rates were more than triple for those without a high-school diploma. Unemployment Rates were more than double for those with and those without a high-school diploma, except in Cumberland and Lancaster counties.
"The high-school diploma is a gateway to higher post-secondary training, which produces family-sustaining wages," Benso said, "but a high-school diploma is not enough anymore."
Students need to continue with education and training after high school to be larger contributors to the economy, she said.
The partnership's data is built on information from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2007 American Community Survey.

The country's largest car maker Maruti Suzuki is going to rock up in the market soon. Maruti 800 to be replaced by a cheap car to have in your portfolio.
The price of the new Cervo will be around 2 to 2.5 lakh. At this price Maruti's real motive is to directly challenge the cheapest car Tata Nano and Hyundai Eon.The main motive of the Company is to keep its position more stronger.This car can put a big stop in the sales of Tata Nano.The company decided "Cervo" as the name of the car.
Maruti is thinking to launch this car near the eve of Diwali or it will be launched at the end of the year.
It's only fair to share...

The past year has been the most difficult year for me & my family. The first big UNEXPECTED storm was Bryan's kidney cancer and surgery, and him being out of work six weeks. Then another hospitalization just recently for another dear loved one. Mix all that in with the obvious demands of life in general, and being enrolled in the ultra-intense ultrasound program, and what we have is a recipe for exhaustion and discouragement.
But there is a lesson from 2012: It's okay to be Beaten.
2012 Theme: "Trials and Storms"
He is allowing these storms to "hammer" me into a desired shape: His purpose for my life.
It's Not About Me
If I turn my eyes upwards, I will gain a different perspective of the situation.

I would agree - no frozen pot pie comes close to homemade! We are planning a "pie social" for our December potluck at church. We'll have both savory and sweet pies (and likely pizza pie). I'm planning on making at least a chicken pot pie, possibly beef. And I'm already tasting it.

The beauty of creation
HappyChristian replied to Rebecca's topic in The LoungeIt rarely snows in our neck of the woods (well, in the mountains it does, but we are thousands of feet below...). In the two winters we've been here, we've only had a couple of dustings. And that's usually closer to Christmas and/or in January. But this past Saturday we got an early surprise. At our house we got about an inch - not much by some standards, I know, but it's a big deal in an area that, as I said, rarely gets snow - and never this early. This picture was taken by someone in town. I'm not overly fond of snow, but I do love snowy scenes.
Ban NN for being a (p)sycho...hehehehe
I haven't heard about their rent - since she didn't mention it, I'm assuming that it's ok for this month. Oh, no! Will they be able to change your meds?
Last night, Attila was back in the hospital. No matter what, they just cannot get his irregular heart beat to go away with any of the medications. We have a couple of next steps, but the discussion is open heart surgery. We are also discussing pre surgery tests, like a stress test and a catheterization. Please pray for Attila, as he is just worn out.
Ban Rosie because, well, just do it.
It looked like a cake with carrot garnish. Seriously, it was shaped like a two-layer round cake, and "iced" with mayonnaise, garnished with carrot slices. It consisted of potatoes, turnips, and a few more veggies. Tonight we had creamed chicken on toast.
We had potluck at church yesterday. I brought a tater tot casserole, someone brought clam chowder (ick), sloppy joes, russian potato salad, coleslaw. And we had birthday cake (we do a birthday cake the first Sunday of each month to celebrate that month's birthdays).
Last night we had bacon and tomato sandwiches. Good stuff!
I like Domino's, too. We'll get that once in a while. I call it in and hubs picks it up. I love their thin crust pepperoni with green peppers, black olives, and onions. Of course, adding those toppings is expensive, so we rarely do it. I baked two of the pizzas for tomorrow tonight (and had to sample to make sure it was ok...that was my dinner ). Tomorrow after church we'll put the others in the oven to bake and folks can nosh on what's already done while they wait. Papa Murphy's has a new one - bacon cheeseburger. I'm looking forward to trying that one.
HappyChristian replied to DaveW's topic in Biblical IssuesI would agree, wretched, that women oughtn't baptize. I think that scriptural principle would seem to indicate that is not a sphere women should enter.
I'm not crazy about it, but my hubs likes it. Although it is pricey - or, at least, it was when we last bought it (in Indiana). We have some friends (the man's name is John) who really, really like it. We prefer Papa Murphy's. We don't get it very often, but we like the Cowboy pizza. I don't care for sausage and mushroom, so we ask them to add extra pepperoni and another veggie. They do and don't charge for it, so that's nice. This Sunday is "October Surprise" at church. Hubs told everyone to come hungry, but didn't tell them why. We are buying several pizzas and will bring salad, perhaps some chips. I think they'll enjoy themselves. Tonight we had homemade beef/veggie soup.

April 1st, 2005, 08:19 PM #1Need Site Valuation Advice... Help!
Once again, I must call on the wisom of the ABW community for advice.
Someone wants to buy one of my sites. I hadn't planned on ever selling the site, but for the right price I am open minded. I need to figure out what that right price should be.
If I had a solid long-term track record, I could do a simple present value calculation with my favorite spreadsheet. Unfortunately, the site was launched last May, and the monthly gross profits (commissions booked minus adwords expenses) have grown from $x to $154x (sorry for the Xs, but you know how it is). Much of that growth has happened in 2005 since I overhauled the site and made some fundamental changed in my Adwords advertising. The actual curve has been (x, 13x, 13x, 16x, 35x, 57x, 46x, 72x, 41x, 114x, 154x), so it has been a pretty nice ramp up.
So, that leaves me in a quandry about how to do the pv calculation. Do I use March? Do I average (not appealing)? Do I try to plot a curve of what the gross profits would be each month before plugging those numbers into the pv calculation? None seems right.
In addition, I have some sizeable advertising expenditures each month. I believe (and I believe my data shows with an over 300% ROI) that the advertising is well worth it, which is why I have been doing my calculations based on expected profits given those expenditures. Does this sound right?
Another factor is that this is my main site. I should probably say MAIN site. It currently accounts for 99.9%+ of my revenue. I have some other things coming online over the next few months, but no guarantees that I'll be able to work the same magic on those as on site numero uno. This probably should not be a factor, but it is, at least psychologically. Even if the site in question only technically has a value of y, it is generating over half of what I need to be fully self-sufficient at this. If I can keep it going and growing and get the other things up and running, I am hoping to be independent by the end of 2005.
My best guess value-wise right now is to use the 154x, plug it in at a conservative discount rate of like 5% over 24 months, and get a value of something like 3500x. Not even sure if the potential buyer would consider something that high, ut that's what the math seems to say right now.
Oh, one other question. I started working on the site last April, but it didn't go live until May 18th (which I can show from Adwords records). For tax purposes, if I end up selling the site, should I put off closing of the deal until the site is over a year old for capital gains reasons? Or does this not come under capital gains? (I'd ask my accountant, but (a) he is is bunker mode right now and (b) I don't have all my tax stuff together and he will kill me if I tell him that.)
Any advice from the ABW sages would be appreciated beyond words.
-John, still somewhat stunned by this development.There's a reason army's wear uniforms even though it makes them easier to spot. Sometimes that's what you want. Uniforms suggest organization, power, and numbers. These, in turn, inspire fear. And, as any good operative knows, there is no more effective weapon than fear.

Which site is it that you are considering selling?
3500x sounds right. It's a tricky matter, but all in all, I think 3500x is good estimate.
April 2nd, 2005, 02:24 PM #3
Capital gains tax unfortunately may apply here (it did for me). I would certainly wait a month if your deal is 6-figures or more. If it is a small amount then obviously it wouldn't matter.
Regarding profits, your 3500X sounds about right for a "stable" business. However, I would also take into account a risk/rewards ratio. For example, if you feel that your business model is temporary, then I would say go for less. On the other hand, if you feel there is plenty of room for growth with more aggressive advertising endeavours, then 3500X might be a bargain.
Good luck.

No Autopsy for Christopher Reeve
Christopher Reeve's widow Dana declined the offer of an autopsy on her husband after he died last October, because she was convinced doctors had done everything they could to keep him alive.
The actress will never know the full details of how her paralyzed husband died because she didn't think to put his body through more tests after he passed away from a heart attack.
She reveals, "I knew that there was no reason. He had the best nurses, our doctor had been with him since the beginning. He had the best care. They always got him through.
"If his body was failing, his body was failing."

about Colorado
The American Jobs Project was borne of two tough problems: loss of middle-class jobs in America and congressional paralysis. It seeks to address these problems by taking advantage of one of the biggest market opportunities of our era—the advanced energy sector—and to do so at the state, not the federal, level. Policymakers who leverage the unique strategic advantages of their state to grow localized clusters of interconnected companies and institutions are poised to create quality jobs.
Colorado is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for advanced energy given the state's strengths in advanced manufacturing and engineering, its leading universities and research facilities, and its skilled labor force. Opportunities to leverage this momentum to further serve growing regional, national, and global markets offer real benefits for Colorado's economy and good-paying jobs for the state's residents.
Extensive research and more than 100 interviews with local stakeholders and experts in Colorado have resulted in identifying two economic sectors that show particular promise: solar and wind energy.
There are several barriers hindering Colorado's advanced energy industries and preventing supply chains from reaching their full potential. Colorado must address these roadblocks to grow the state's advanced energy sectors and realize economic gains. To take full advantage of these opportunities, Colorado's policymakers can enact policies to increase demand for solar and wind technology and to help the state's businesses grow, innovate, and outcompete regional, national, and global competitors. Indeed, with the right policies, Colorado's solar and wind energy industries can support up to 13,000 jobs annually in these two clusters.
This project serves as a research-based roadmap for state and local leaders who seek to develop smart policies focused on leveraging the state's resources to create skilled, good-paying jobs. Concerted effort at the state and local levels can create an environment that attracts new companies and grows existing companies headquartered in Colorado. Employees in the advanced energy sector will spend their earnings in the local economy at grocery stores and restaurants, and those local establishments will need to hire more employees to satisfy demand. This creates a multiplier effect throughout Colorado's economy, where a single dollar spent in a community circulates through local businesses and their employees numerous times.
Summary of Policy Recommendations
The analysis presented in this report culminates in four thematic sets of recommendations for Colorado's leaders. Each set of recommendations identifies opportunities for barrier removal and future growth in the solar and wind sectors. While the recommendations are intended to be complementary and would be powerful if adopted as a package, each can also be viewed as a stand-alone option.
Solar Technology
Create an Energy Storage Mandate: Establishing a market for energy storage technologies to allow for continued integration of renewable energy sources.
Support the Development of Residential PACE Programs: Expanding use of residential PACE by instituting a loan-loss reserve program and a PACE toolkit. PACE financing mitigates the high upfront cost of solar for customers by allowing property owners to finance investments in solar panels with a loan that is repaid through their property tax bill.
Enable Group Solar Purchasing: Increasing access to solar by enabling communities to purchase greater quantities of solar panels at discounted group rates.
Reduce Barriers to Community Solar: Establishing annual community solar goals, developing public and private sector financing for low-income communities, and extending community solar legislation to municipal utilities and rural electric cooperatives to increase access to community solar.
Create Safe Harbors in Net Energy Metering: Ensuring customers continue to receive equitable and transparent net metering charges. Net metering allows customers to sell excess energy back to the grid.
Offer a Green Source Rider Program: Connecting large, energy-intensive companies with renewable energy without shifting costs to other ratepayers. Fifty-one Fortune 500 companies have signed a declaration demanding access to clean energy, indicating private sector demand for renewable energy.
Wind Technology
Encourage Small Wind Turbine Manufacturing and Deployment: Instituting a small wind tax credit, enabling community wind projects, restoring the anemometer loan program, and creating an export tax credit for qualified small- to medium-sized industries to strengthen the small wind manufacturing sector by boosting in-state demand for small wind turbines and encouraging exports of small wind turbines.
Create an Anchor Company Tax Credit: Encouraging more wind turbine component suppliers to locate in Colorado by offering a tax credit to companies that recruit them.
Create a Consolidated Balancing Authority: Establishing a unified balancing authority to enable Colorado to efficiently pool energy resources, decrease balancing costs, and allow the state to export electricity.
Modernize Transport Pathways to Improve Wind Turbine Export: Upgrading roadways and encouraging use of rail to transport large goods to allow Colorado to manufacture and export turbines to nearby markets.
Innovation Ecosystem and Access to Capital
Facilitate New Partnerships Within the Energy Innovation Ecosystem and Set Statewide Goals: Proactively aligning university and research partnerships to achieve strategic R&D and funding goals.
Create an Advanced Energy Equity Crowdfunding Hub: Building on Colorado's Crowdfunding Act by streamlining investor access through an online platform.
Workforce Development
Enhance Workforce Training Opportunities Through Dual Enrollment Programs: Establishing industry-specific early colleges and dual enrollment programs to allow high school students to simultaneously earn a high school degree and earn credits for an associate's or bachelor's degree.
Create and Improve Pathways for Veterans to Transition to Advanced Energy Jobs: Establishing programs for veterans that help them transition into the advanced energy workforce by connecting veterans to employers, translating military experience on resumes, and encouraging military recruitment days.
Establish Incentives to Promote Apprenticeships in Advanced Energy Industries: Offering incentives and guidance for businesses to establish apprenticeships to increase the number statewide apprenticeships, as seen in South Carolina's successful program.
