(CNN) - In the thousands of words spoken in Tuesday's presidential debate, it was four awkwardly phrased ones that set the Internet afire: Binders full of women.
In response to a question on gender pay inequality Romney said that as he was assembling his cabinet after being elected governor in Massachusetts, he questioned his staff for sending him only male applicants and was told those were all who were qualified.

"I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks,' and they brought us whole binders full of women," Romney said.
Before the debate was over, there was a Twitter hashtag, a series of memes on Tumblr, and a Facebook page with over 100,000 fans. The phrase was the third-fastest rising search on Google during the debate.
It prompted memes, such as Hugh Hefner in what appears to be a library: "Binders full of women? Oh sure, I've got hundreds of them."

The Obama campaign was in on it as well: a paid post from President Barack Obama's official campaign account appeared atop searches for "binders full of women" on Twitter.
In the second question of the night, voter Katherine Fenton queried Obama: "In what new ways to you intend to rectify the inequalities in the workplace, specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn?"
The incumbent cited the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which was the first piece of legislation he signed into law.
Romney, who worked in business, then served as governor of Massachusetts, said he "learned a great deal" about the inequalities between men and women in the workplace when chief executive of his state.
"I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed to be men," Romney said. And I – and I went to my staff, and I said, 'How come all the people for these jobs are – are all men?' They said, "Well, these are the people that have the qualifications.' "
Romney said he requested "a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet."
Then, the sound bite which drove the online chatter.
"I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks,' and they brought us whole binders full of women," Romney said.
The tweets and posts quickly stacked up.
I'd love to see the meeting minutes from that roundtable. #bindersfullofwomen—
David Weller (@dcweller) October 17, 2012
Kate Segal, whose Twitter bio says she is the Democratic floor leader in the Michigan House of Representatives, took a political angle.
To solve the problem of pay inequality we don't need more 'binders full of women,' we need more ballots full of women. #BallotsNotBinders—
Kate Segal (@KateSegal) October 17, 2012
Among the memes was at least one using an image of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in sunglasses which went viral earlier this year.
"Romney still uses binders," the meme reads, as Clinton looks at her cell phone.
Another showed Romney speaking at a podium with a stack of ring binders next to him.
In the debate, the former governor credited his outreach effort with his mix of department heads.
"Now one of the reasons I was able to get so many good women to be part of that team was because of our recruiting effort," he said. "But number two, because I recognized that if you're going to have women in the workforce that sometimes you need to be more flexible. My chief of staff, for instance, had two kids that were still in school."
The highest-ranking woman in his administration was his number two, Lieutenant Gov. Kerry Healey.
But in the social media sphere, yes, puns are permitted: a post to a "Binders Full Of Women" Facebook page read, "Trapper Keeper jokes are appropriate."

Sorry, Romney supporters, here are the facts from the Boston Globe: "Those "binders full of women" actually came from a coalition called Massachusetts Government Appointments Project, or MassGAP, that had formed in August 2002 to address the shortage of women in high-ranking government positions. They had started assembling groups of applicants, taking several months to reach out to women's organizations around the state and preparing to present potential hires to whichever candidate won the election. "We contacted both candidates before the final election," said Liz Levin, who was chairman of MassGAP until 2010. "This was an effort that we put our hearts in. We wanted to make sure that people knew how many good, qualified, terrific ladies there were." Romney appointed Kerry Healey, the Lieutenant Governor, to be the liaison to MassGap. But over the next two years, women made up only 25 percent of the 64 new appointments Romney made. By the end of his term, the number of women in high-ranking positions was slightly lower than it was before Romney took office. Romney did not have a history of appointing women to high-level positions in the private sector. In fact, Romney did not have any women partners as CEO of Bain Capital during the 1980s and 1990s." The point is that Romney didn't proactively ask for more women to be recruited, he responded to political pressure. At Bain, he didn't care enough about involving women in the management and future of his firm to find even one woman to be a partner until just before he left full-time leadership of Bain in 2002. He shouldn't be misrepresenting his record over this-that's both disingenuous and dishonest.
I love reading posts that portray liberals as desperate
and vicious when i see an equal if not excessive amount of ignorant rants coming from conservatives as well. It is true that this statement is being blown out of proportion but i have read the same from conservatives when the phrase "you didn't build that" came out. Just realize that if it can be dished out be prepared to hear comments when your candidate commits an equally unpopular gaffe. Sounds like hypocrisy otherwise.
The republicans here can all untwist their panties. No one is slamming him for the binder thing, it was just funny how he said it. The end. Yes it has swiftly become over done, but it was simply a humorous phrase. Not a gaffe. Lighten up.
Think again: CNN Fact checkers have been proven wrong by many other fact checkers. Facts that are checked by taking part of the story are not FACTS, they are bias opinions.
You clearly like to make up your own twisted story. I never said Romney did it. I know what Romney said and what you say he also said in the debate so it is a mute point. The point is he did it and most of the media is bias and left. Today Lt Governor Kerry Healey who worked in his cabinet refuted your bias paper and said it was Romney that asked her to head it up. You need to be the one that knows there facts and not just listen to one paper and assume it is accurate.
The reality is Obama's plan for America is to take from whites and give to the poor blacks and Muslims of the world. If you had read his books and heard his sermons years ago you would know this and it was in his own biography that he said he was born in Kenya and sent by God to down size America. He has the opinion America is to big for its britches.
Anyone who takes the "Binders full of women" comment seriously when you know he was referring to resumes is a freaking moron.
With all the important issues we care about and this is a top headline? Is this the best you can do?
"alot" is not a word. Gullible is not spelled gullable. Physician heal thyself.
I think that answer would have been most appropriate for Bill Clinton. That being said, I CANNOT stand the woman make only 72% of what men make. There are many reasons that number exists, and if you dig into it you can see how it is flawed. No one mentions the fact that 58% of all college attendees are now woman, and only 43% men? I saw one feminist state essentially that it is because men are lazy. Can you imagine if a male said woman are lazy, what the reaction would be?
I wonder who SNL will use to play Candy Crowley? My guess is John Goodman.
...the left and it's bias followers can continue to follow the wooly butt in front of them and follow the lead sheep as your Sheppard Obama walks you over the fiscal cliff of disaster. If you follow so blindly that you can not see what he has done to destroy our country you never will. I have more important things to do that share reason with unreasonable bigots.

When you get a grasp of syntax and grammar, please come back. I think your arguments might be amusing.
I saw your comments and I found this stat which speaks to the issue. I don't think that Romney was identifying you and your situation.
Seventy-two percent of black babies are born to unmarried mothers today, according to government statistics. This number is inseparable from the work of Carroll, an obstetrician who has dedicated her 40-year career to helping black women."The girls don't think they have to get married. I tell them children deserve a mama and a daddy. They really do,"
Romney acted like bully, not intersted in answers or facts.
His way of getting a point across after condecending on the one who ask the questionND was to try to get on Obamas face.
How can he say he relates to middle class, does he ever had to pay for school loans, or get get jobs to support his way in life?? Not a handout or posh cushy jobs because he is the son of so and so?
Was his job ever shipped overseas? Has he had to collect unemployment, out of true need? be on the vere of losing his home, because of medical bills
Many people wil wonder what doe he have hide that he will not release his taxes.
His words secretly recorded say what he truly means in private, the reason he backtrack was because it became public. In my book that is a coward, hypocrite and two face liar.!!!!
You need to hear his entire message. Obama not only said you did not build in context to small business not being responsible for their hard worked also said he thinks it is so funny when they think they are so smart for saying they built their own business them self. So if as you say the right is bias for taking his comment in context then maybe you agree that small business' are ignorant for thinking they are smart and can have the American Dream and prosper.
Hey Changouno, Obama did not say in his biography that he was born in Kenya and was sent by God to down size America... That is utter nonsense. Don't vote for the guy – fine, but for goodness sake, at least try to make your lies believable...
Oh and before you ask, I've read his biography (and one other of his books)....
Bill, the 72% is skewed.
That is as fact that has been proven wrong. The paper that printed it was wrong. I could spend time with facts by maybe you should research to find it your self rather than assume one sided articles are correct. Regardless that is not an acurate percent and the story behind it is not accurate either.
Oh yes. I saw this coming the moment he said it.
Wow after reading this blog for an hour or so I am nearly at a loss for words....but I'll try to squeeze a few out...what is wrong with the gop...do they seriously think there are enough people stupid enough to elect Romney and Ryan...oh I take that back because Dubya was there for 8 years...how can the woman's vote be turning to Romney and Ryan these guys think women are second class citizens...they are one step removed from the Taliban with their outrageous double standards for women....yet one woman who didn't even make the binder...Sarah Palin has already written them off and intimated she is available for 2016...God help us all !
Jars,,,you read his corrected edition after he was called on it. his first few copies did say that. It was removed later claming it was a typo...but his publisher had checked it out as a fact and printed it that way. I know some one that has the original copy.
...besides Jars,
I said some of it was in his sermoans from years ago; it all adds up to the understanding of what he is out to do.
Most of the time republicans are against Affirmative Action, except when their nominee says he used it for women?

Time for the next entry covering Shawn Riley's list of 101 Tips to Make your EMR and EHR More Useful. I met someone at a conference who commented that they liked this series of posts. I hope you're all enjoying the series as well.
15 Avoid multiple sign-ins if possible.
One thing seems abundantly clear to me: healthcare IT will be a heterogeneous environment. This is particularly true in the hospital world. Even the biggest behemoth of an HIS can't satisfy all of the healthcare IT requirements of a hospital. So, getting a great SSO (single sign on) solution will be really important and turns out to be a great thing for your users and your help desk.
14 Make sure security is solid, but not prohibitive.
One thing about healthcare security and HIPAA that's often misunderstood is that it should protect patient's information, but it should also not get in the way of a clinician doing what they legitimately need to accomplish. Many security policies go too far and make legitimate healthcare work too hard. This is a huge mistake.
13 PDSA – Use it! Plan – Do – Study – Act
In this one, Shawn talks about the idea of continuous improvement which is a really good one. I also think far too many companies get stuck in the planning and do far too little doing and acting. All four steps of the process are important and useful, but don't over think it either.
Lean isn't about being cheap. Lean isn't about providing substandard care. Lean is about spending where it matters most. It's about focusing on what's most important and creating value from the things you spend money on. I'd love to see more LEAN concepts used in healthcare.
11 Buy MORE printers
Yep! Printing increases dramatically with an EHR. Almost all those forms that you use to print in bulk will now be coming out of your printer. Also, just because somewhere is fully electronic doesn't mean that they are paperless. Paperless is a mythical creature that will likely never be achieved in our lifetime. Make the printers accessible for your providers.
If you want to see my analysis of the other 101 EMR and EHR tips, I'll be updating this page with my 101 EMR and EHR tips analysis. So, click on that link to see the other EMR tips.

This excellent post from Cara at The Curvature details a story of a fifteen year old girl raped while she was dying. Yes, you read that correctly – RAPED while she was DYING. Though the newspaper reporting on the piece uses the word rape in the article's title, in the body of the piece, the rape of Kierra Johnson is called "having sex." Further, one of her rapists is described as having "unprotected anal sex with Johnson." That phrase indicates consent — it indicates Johnson was conscious – which she was not. You cannot have sex with an unconscious person — that is called rape.
As Cara further details, the news story goes on to to do a fair amount of racialized and class biased slut-shaming, pointing out that Johnson "should have been in school." Hear that girls? If you cut class, you deserve to be raped.
Reading Cara's post reminded me of another sad fact I read earlier today – that at the Washington Post, 19 out of 27 columnists are white males. As Monica Potts details, "Out of 27 total columnists and reporters [at the Washington Post], three are black men and three are white women. The rest are white men. And if you don't scroll past the fold, white men are all you see."
Now, while some of these white males may certainly be feminists, whoever wrote the piece at the Philly paper is NOT. These two stories may seem unconnected, but how stories are reported is vital. Word choice is key. Calling rape "sex" happens all the time in the mainstream media and I know this would be far less common with more feminist journalists penning stories and columns. This is why organizations like The Women's Media Center, The Op-Ed Project, and Women in Media and News are so important. This is why publication like Ms. Magazine and Bitch are vital. This is why the feminist blogosphere matters.
Calling rape sex is just one small part of the battle we are up against – but it is a hugely important one – one that matters greatly to the story of Kierra Johnson – and the untold thousands of girls and women like her – who are not "having sex," who are being regularly and all too often raped. Journalists and newscasters who hide such crimes via their word choice should be ashamed – they are guilty of maintaining, perpetuating, and condoning the rape culture in which we live.

Bar Fly 2.0 mount for Garmin Edge computers, with one bolt clamp, two-position interface, user-friendly Derlin plastic construction and lifetime guarantee!
Main viewpoint showing two position interface and one bolt clamp
Tate Labs the bike computer mount company, hasn't rested on its laurels this past year, and from feedback of their Bar Fly 1.0 and 1.1 models, they designed the impressive new Bar Fly 2.0. The made in the USA 2.0 mount, which is meant for the Garmin Edge bike computers, has been lowered to be more inline with the stem, and has dual position slots for more flexibility, and the bottom can be integrated with the Shimano Di2 and Campagnolo EPS modules. The 2.0 comes in Classic Black, Blue, White, and Hi-Viz Yellow, weighs 22 grams, retails for $24.99 and comes with their "Buy one you're done" lifetime warranty and crash replacement policy.
The simple one bolt design of the clamp makes it easy to take on and off, so you can easily swap it between bikes. The mount is made of Delrin plastic, so the clamp section is safe for carbon bars, and of utmost importance, the main computer interface is friendly to the plastic wings on the back of the Edge units. Even with the one bolt setup and full plastic body, the mount offered a secure and stable platform for the Edge computers.
Small and large format comparison
The two-position slot makes both the smaller format Edge 200 and 500, and larger format Edge 510, 800 and 810 fit closer to the stem. In addition, the new model also has a lower mounting position, so it drops it down inline with the stem.
I have been testing the 2.0 on various bikes, handlebars and stems, and it's easy to install the one bolt clamp, just undo the bolt, bend open the clamp, and pop it over the bars and align, and torque it down. I installed my Garmin Edge 800 in the upper slot position, and the interface gave a nice crisp click into its lock. The Edge never popped out of position, unless I somehow hit hard myself, otherwise it was stable as a rock, offering an excellent viewpoint for usage.
Not much to bitch about other than it was offset when using with stems that have a wide face plate, so that the computer wouldn't be perfectly centered.
The Tate Labs Bar Fly 2.0 is a superb mount for the Garmin Edge GPS computers, offering an easy to use one bolt clamp, two-position interface for small and large-format Edge computers, and a lowered location to be more inline with the stem. It utilizes Derlin plastic construction, which is friendly to handlebars and the rear Edge computer wings. The decent $24.99 price and no question asked replacement policy, make for a great product.

I had a warm and fuzzy Gmail moment the other day when I noticed my Spam folder stuffed full of 6573 unread messages. Six thousand, five hundred and seventy three!
Gmail keeps messages there for one month, and 6573 divided by 31 days that means I've received 211 junk emails per day in the last month! Now that seems kind of insane. I think a little comparing of notes is in order.
We've pretty thoroughly discussed spam 'round these parts but if you've got any killer methods for doubling or tripling down on the filtering or avoiding junk messages entirely, do let us know in the comments or to tips at lifehacker.com.

There have been the expected reactions from Israel's air-strike on a military research facility/missiles convoy/biological weapons/depot/any combination of all or any of the above. But there have also been some – how shall we call them? – surreal reactions too.
Unsurprisingly, if not amusingly, Hezbollah called for international condemnation of the Israeli strike.
The Lebanese Foreign Minister called for a boycott of Israel.
And Iran, in typically overblown rhetoric, threatened to "knock Israel comatose" in retaliation for the strike.
In this respect it is strange indeed that Turkey's irascible Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu slammed Syria's Bashar Assad for not responding to Israel's strike. He even came up with the surreal suggestion that Israel and Assad are in cahoots!
On his way to Munich, where he will meet with world leaders to discuss developments in Syria, Ahmet Davutoglu asked reporters, "Why didn't Assad even throw a pebble when Israeli jets were flying over his palace and playing with the dignity of his country?"
Davutoglu suggested that the Syrian leader is conspiring with Israel: "Is there a secret agreement between Assad and Israel? The Assad regime only abuses. Why don't you use the same power that you use against defenseless women against Israel, which you have seen as an enemy since its foundation," he said, according to The Hurriyet news agency.
The foreign minister said that Turkey will not stand by as Israel attacks a Muslim country.
"Syria must do what a country under attack has to do," Today's Zaman quoted Davutoglu as saying, seemingly goading the Assad regime to retaliate.
Turkey's reaction is not only unexpected, it is completely illogical. Turkey turned against Assad's Syria because it is viewed as a client state of Iran which in turn is both a military threat and a danger to Turkey's ambitions for regional hegemony.
So what caused Davutoglu to bash Assad for not retaliating against Israel? It would seem that Davutoglu is so keen to establish his Muslim and anti-Israel credentials that he is lashing out without due care. The cognitive dissonance he must be suffering from must be unbearable.
Consider me unsympathetic.
Syria's opposition similarly condemned Assad for his lack of response to Israel's air-strike.
Syrian opposition leaders and rebels on Friday slammed President Bashar Assad for not responding to a rare Israeli airstrike near Damascus, calling it proof of his weakness and acquiescence to the Jewish State.
The opposition's sharp reaction underlines how those seeking to topple the Syrian leader might be more prepared to tangle with Israel if they came to power.
Wednesday's Israeli airstrike that US officials say hit a convoy of anti-aircraft weapons bound for the militant Lebanese Hezbollah group also has fueled rage among many Syrians who say they now must fear warplanes from both Assad's forces and Israel.
"Assad never once in his life stood up to Israel," said Kamal Labwani, a prominent Syrian dissident and member of the Syrian National Coalition, an umbrella group of those trying to oust Assad. "All he ever did is 'reserve the right to retaliate' but he never retaliated against anyone other than the Syrian people and the Free Syrian Army."
This all makes sense in a convoluted way. If the Jihadist Syrian opposition, who are not Western liberals to put it mildly, had ambitions to take control of Syria's WMD capabilities, they must be pretty furious that their plans have been thwarted. In that respect, it probably did suit Assad that Israel bombed the weapons facilities. If he can't use them, he certainly won't want his home-grown enemies to have them.
The reaction of the opposition bodes seriously ill for future relations between Israel and Syria. If you thought it couldn't get any worse, you'd be wrong. From the same ToI article:
The opposition group promised the Syrian people it would use political and diplomatic means to halt such attacks and said it would establish a "deterrent force" to guard against any such future attacks.
Those comments raised the question about how those seeking to topple Assad would handle the thorny issue of relations with Israel if they came to power.
Many among Syria's disparate opposition leaders are Syrian and Arab nationalists fiercely opposed to the Jewish State.
Mouaz al-Khatib, a 52-year-old preacher-turned-activist, has been criticized by some for calling Zionism a "cancerous movement" and praising Iraq's late dictator Saddam Hussein for "terrorizing the Jews."
The umbrella group is dominated by members of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, which is known for its enmity to Israel. And among the overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim rebels who are fighting to end Assad's rule, the Islamic extremists are gaining dominance.
Giving us more detail about the air-strike, an Iraqi newspaper reports that IAF planes fired 8 missiles and a bunker-buster at a chemical and biological weapons manufacturing facility.
Another source tells us that the target of the air-strike was Damascus' main chemical, biological weapons research center:
The site of the alleged Israeli strike in Syria last week was the country's main biological and chemical weapons research center, the New York Times reported Monday.
Citing "senior US security sources," the newspaper said that the center had known ties to a North Korean research center of the same kind.
Various foreign security officials hedged that IAF jets hit a convoy of SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles traveling towards the Lebanese border, ahead of a handoff to Hezbollah militants.
According to the NYT, the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, "Has been the target of American and Western sanctions for more than a decade because of intelligence suggesting that it was the training site for engineers who worked on chemical and biological weaponry."
Several US security sources said that Jerusalem had informed Washington of the impending strike. A senior US military official said that "the Israelis had a small strike package," meaning, according to the NYT, that "a relatively few fighter aircraft slipped past Syria's air defenses and targeted both the missiles and the research center."
"They clearly went after the air defense weapons on the transport trucks," the American official said.
Security experts said that the ease with which Israeli planes reached the Syrian capital was most likely also meant to send a message to Assad, as well as to Iran – a known sponsor of both the regime in Syria and the Shiite terror group.
In much more disturbing news, there are reports that Hezbollah is already in possession of some chemical weapons:
As reports and analyses of what was said to be an Israeli attack on advanced Russian missiles dispatched from Syria to Hizbullah terrorist bases along the border with Lebanon, Syrian rebels said that Hizbullah had already received numerous advanced weapons from Syria – including chemical weapons. A report in a Saudi newspaper quoted Syrian rebel groups as saying that Syria had already last year transferred chemical weapons to Hizbullah.
Israel has said that transfer of such weapons would be a "red line" which Jerusalem could not ignore, essentially a declaration of war by Syria and Hizbullah against Israel.
The report in the Al-Wattan newspaper quoted a rebel spokesperson as saying that the transfer took place over a 40 day period in February and March 2012. The shipment included at least two tons of mustard gas, along long range missiles that could reach within 300 kilometers into Israel that were capable of carrying chemical weapons.
In more news that make us say "Hmm", there has been a mysterious explosion in the Lebanese city of Tyre.
Lebanon's official National News Agency reported at the time that an explosion was heard in villages east of Tyre, although they added that the cause of the explosion was unknown.
Hezbollah's network Al-Manar later reported that the explosion in the Tyre area was due to a stun grenade thrown by unknown assailants.
However the Lebanese media were quick to blame Israel after reporting that IAF planes had been seen flying in the area for hours.
One piece of good news emerging out of all of this is that the IDF's Chief of Staff Benny Ganz is now in the United States as a guest of his American counterpart in order to discuss Syria's chemical weapons and the general regional instability:
Israel Defense Force Chief of Staff Benny Gantz arrived in Washington, D.C., Sunday as the guest of his US counterpart, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey.
A statement released by an IDF spokesperson said that the two "will conduct a series of work meetings together, as well as meetings with other American officials. They will also discuss current security challenges, the regional security status in the Middle East and military cooperation."
Sources in Israel's security establishment told Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot that during the five-day trip the two sides will deal primarily with developments and possible risks stemming from the civil war in Syria. The main issue will be how the United States and Israel will deal jointly in the case that rebels or Hezbollah take control of chemical weapons now in the hands of the Syrian army.
Yediot Ahronot also reports that Western sources have indicated that Israel, the United States and possibly NATO would carry out air operations and even use ground forces to prevent chemical and biological weapons from falling into the hands of rebels or Hezbollah.
It's very good news that Israel and the US are showing that despite all rumours to the contrary, there is still close security cooperation between the two countries. This is to the benefit of both countries and for all rest of the civilized world.

QuoteWe played FlingSmash in February of this year and quite enjoyed it, as our First Impressions show, but its projected release date of Summer 2010 has been and gone without the game hitting shelves. Now retailer Gamestop has released boxart of the game showing the game is set to be bundled with a Remote, seemingly containing MotionPlus built-in.
Titled "Wii Remote Plus", the controller itself looks only slightly different, with a slight curve below the four lights the only alteration visible at this resolution. As FlingSmash requires MotionPlus this is obviously a new controller containing the add-on, but could the game's delay have been caused by the newly developed Remote?

DWTS 15 – The Great Quickstep Debate: Breaking Hold vs. Not Breaking Hold
In his Access Hollywood interview from after Monday night's show, Mark explained his reasons for "breaking hold" in he in Bristol's quickstep – and he also insinuated that a few other couples also broke hold in their quicksteps this week, yet didn't get called out by the judges. So it got me thinking: did the judges, indeed, turn a blind eye to some couples' rule-breaking, while calling out others?
First, a little bit of background as to why breaking hold in quickstep is such a big deal. Earlier this year, I went into detail about it in one of my "Ask Courtney" posts – the basic gist is that quickstep is the only ballroom dance on DWTS that is only danced in the International Standard style, in which you cannot break hold at all, and they've carried that rule over to DWTS. I personally think it's kind of a dumb rule, considering that DWTS is not a real ballroom competition (and never will be), and considering that you can break hold in the waltz, foxtrot, Viennese waltz, and sometimes tango (the last one is whole different debate).

text: February statistically has the coldest annual water temps for our region. As a winter warrior, I am curious what some may do to extend surf sessions or to minimize the suffering when changing into and out of your wetsuit. I wear a 6/5/4 with 5mm gloves and 7mm boots but still some days are just brutal after a hour into the session. Some things i do that help are: sitting in my car blasting the heat until my suit warms up and recently i came up with the idea of filling up my wetsuit bucket (its basically a recycling bin) with hot bath water. Ill dip my suit in the hot water before suiting up and I find that it helps get in on faster and gives me a heat boost. Its also great when I get out of the water because ill dip my frigid hands and feet in the bucket to warm up. I saw a guy today that had a portable pump shower. I also have and see many people with the FCS robe towels. So, what are some of the clever things you have come up with or have seen other warriors do to fight the cold?

So in reading the Jez article on circumcision today, what really struck me was the instantly vitriolic response of anti-circumcision folks in the comments - well, really, the anti-circumcision males.
My goal here isn't to make a value judgment on circumcision - I'm circumcised and I don't have any problem with that, but anti-circumcision advocates at least make some valid points about bodily autonomy and how it relates to feminism (though the angriest men may not be the first to jump on the feminism bandwagon).
What I was really thinking about was how so many anti-circs IMMEDIATELY tear into anyone that even shows the slightest indecision on the issue or (gasp!) questions the anti-circumcision dogma.
So I was thinking, what other groups are so quick to just rip into people that don't agree? Obviously, these are not hard and fast rules - there are plenty of good measured debates on these issues and many that hold these views that are capable of open, honest, fair discussion - but these are some groups that I often see just LOSE IT!!!!:
"Breast is best"
There are undoubtedly more, but I want to open the floor, since these are the ones that just popped into my head. What say you?

15-year-old girl shot, killed on south side
Brother, 18, in police custody
Milwaukee police are investigating a fatal shooting on the city's south side.
Officers were called to the area of 15th and Orchard streets around 4 a.m. Tuesday.
The Milwaukee police confirmed to WISN 12 News that 15-year-old Brendaliz Morales-Rodriguez died at the scene.
Extended family told WISN 12 News reporter Hillary Mintz that Morales-Rodriguez was a freshman at South Division High School.
"She was good. She always being at her house, not being out or nothing. She was going to school trying to do her thing, but now she's in a better place," said Romulo Santos, a family member.
Milwaukee Public Schools told WISN 12 News it is deeply saddened by the loss and made crisis team counselors available at the school Tuesday.
City and county leaders stopped by the home Tuesday morning to lend their support.
"I wanted to reach out to the family and see if there's any way we could help, make referrals, be there, maybe organize a prayer vigil and just support the family. I mean the tragedy of a young person dying is just overwhelming," Milwaukee Alderman Jose Perez said.
"It's another gut-wrenching phone call when you hear about a teenager that dies in her home. And as a father of teenagers, I can't imagine what those parents are going through," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said.
Milwaukee's mayor learned of the killing while officers were still at the scene. It didn't escape his notice that it comes the same day a coalition of mayors, including Barrett, is running an ad in six markets, including Milwaukee.
"We hear so often that these tragedies involves a gun, and many times they're illegal guns. And that's what our focus has been on, trying to get the illegal guns off the streets," Barrett said.
Police aren't saying whether the gun used in Morales-Rodriguez's death was illegal.
The victim's 18-year-old brother was taken into custody and is awaiting any possible charges, police said.
Relatives said the shooting was accidental.

Q3, FIP and DPF, Keys to Success in Global Collaborative Physics Projects
Y4, FIP and FED together with the AAPT, Panel Discussion: What Can We Learn from Physics Teachers in High Scoring Countries on the TIMSS and PISA International Assessments?
Following are summaries of these sessions.
Sponsored by the FIP and the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP)
Chairpersons: David Ernst (Vanderbilt University) and Paul Gueye (Hampton University)
The Physics in Africa session, was organized as a FIP sponsored panel discussion session on Saturday, February 13, 2010. The session format included three speakers followed by a panel discussion: Jean-Pierre Ezin (on "Science and Technology in Africa: The African Union Initiative and Financial Support Perspectives", Paul Gueye (on an "International Interdisciplinary Research Institute Project in Senegal") and Gordon McLeod (on "African Astronomy and the Square Kilometer Array"). Due to the weather conditions in Washington, DC, Jean-Pierre Ezin could not be present; in his place a short presentation was made by Charles McGruder (on the future of the African population and its international scientific impact using astronomy as an example).
Paul Gueye is a Research Professor with the Hampton University Physics Department at the Center for Advanced Medical Instrumentation and participates in experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. He is a Member-at-Large of the FIP Executive Committee.
Sponsors: FIP, FGSA
Chairpersons: Paul Gueye (Hampton University) and Galileo Violini (Universita della Calabria)
The Policy for Physics and Science in Developing Countries session was organized as a FIP-FGSA sponsored panel discussion session on Sunday, February 14, 2010. The session format included six speakers: Carlos Aguirre-Bastos (on "Policy for Research and Innovation in Latin America"), Jean-Pierre Ezin (on "Science and Technology in Africa: The African Union Initiative and Financial Support Perspectives"), Mustafa El-Tayeb (on the "Perspective from UNESCO"), William Lawrence (on the "Perspective from the US"), Jose Hipolito Garcia-Garcia (on perspective from the Graduate Students) and Gustavo Atilio Crespi (on "The Financial Support Perspective"). However, due to the inclement weather conditions in Washington, DC, neither Carlos Aguirre-Bastos nor Jean-Pierre Ezin could be present. Galileo Violini presented on their behalf. Mustafa El-Tayeb was prevented from attending by a visa related issue and was also represented by Galileo Violini. William Lawrence was out of the country as part of US State Department related travel.
An Informal Closed Session Panel Discussion followed the two sessions and was held on Sunday with the intent of summarizing both sessions and identifying concrete steps to address some of the challenges to develop science and technologies in developing countries.
At that session there were twelve participants: Gustavo Crespi (Inter-American Development Bank), Chantale Damas (CUNY/The Graduate Center), Jose Hipolito Garcia-Gracia, (Tecnologico de Monterrey), Paul Gueye (Hampton University), Gordon MacLeod (Department of Science and Technology), Charles McGruder (Western Kentucky University), Lawrence Norris (National Society of Black Physicists), Giulia Pancheri (INFN-Italy), Fernando Quevedo (ICTP), Leo Violini (Universita della Calabria), Annick Suzor-Weiner (Embassy of France to the US) and Bahram Zandi (guest participant). The discussion was centered on the following topics:
The Square Kilometer Array: ways to support Africa's bid were addressed and included the possibility of a FIP-initiated study that would consider the socio-economical impact of SKA in both Australia and South Africa (this unbiased study would hopefully benefit Africa's bid);
ICTP support to increase the number of astronomers in Africa: the Sandwich Training Educational Program (STEP) was suggested as one of many training schemes within ICTP for this initiative;
Haiti reconstruction: contribution from ICTP, TWAS, UNESCO and IDB was addressed to foster the inclusion of Science and Technology in the reconstruction of the country's infrastructure following the devastating 2009 earthquake. A trip to the island that included participation from two members of this informal session (Chantale Damas and Annick Suzor-Weiner) was held in May;
ICTP Science & Economic Research Group: consideration of creating/hosting an ICTP-initiated science/economic research group to foster collaboration between scientists and economists to stimulate economic growth through S&T in Africa and developing countries; African Economic Research Consortium: this entity provides advanced policy research and training in economics to the whole African continent. A close collaboration between ICTP and AERC could be initiated to create a science and economics research consortium for Africa;
Science and Economics Forum: the possibility of ICTP hosting a Davos World Economic style forum in science and economics in Africa to bring together scientists, engineers, economists, high level government officials, NGOs and businesses together to discuss science and economic policies for Africa; and
South-South cooperation: a cooperation between Latin America, Central America and Caribbean Universities on one end and Africa on the other to encourage cooperation between universities in these regions and leverage the language barrier between the two continents (for example: Mozambique, Brazil and Portugal are all Portuguese speaking countries).
Paul Gueye is a Research Professor with the Hampton University Physics Department at the Center for Advanced Medical Instrumentation and participates in experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. He is a Member-at-Large of the FIP Executive Committee.

Chairperson, Harvey Newman (CalTech)
This deeply informative session at the April 2010 meeting, co-sponsored with DPF, explored the key issues in science, technology and global collaboration that face some of the largest and most diverse experimental programs today, which are driving the leading edge of our fundamental knowledge. Steve Myers, Director of Accelerators and Technology at CERN, in a talk entitled "The Large Hadron Collider", spoke of the many technical and international collaborative challenges and accomplishments of the LHC project which defines the leading edge at the high energy frontier of particle physics, as well as the new plans of CERN to broaden global participation.
Samuel C. C. Ting (MIT; Nobel Prize 1976) described "The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on the International Space Station", a truly groundbreaking project in science and international collaboration jointly sponsored by NASA and DOE. This project will measure the production of electrons and ions as well as their antimatter counterparts during its planned 20 year stay on the International Space Station, and may shed new light on the exciting indication of a positron excess in cosmic rays reported elsewhere at the meeting. Ting also gave a perspective on his career in physics, where each project has been at the leading edge of international collaboration.
Finally, the Marshak Lectureship award winner Mukhles Sowwan (Al-Quds University, Palestinian Authority) gave a wide ranging talk on "SESAME, An International Collaborative Science Project in the Middle East". The SESAME synchrotron radiation facility is a unique multidisciplinary center in Jordan which brings together several hundred scientists from the regions well as other parts of the world, and covers investigations ranging from archaeology to biomedicine to condensed matter and atomic and molecular physics to nanotechnology. The unprecedented success of SESAME in bringing together scientists from Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Palestinian Authority, Jordan, Pakistan and Turkey to work together in harmony in spite of the politically volatile environment in the region, with the encouragement and help of leading scientists from Europe and the U.S., was a highlight of the session.
Harvey Newman is a Professor at CalTech, a high-energy physics experimentalist and Chair-Elect of the FIP. In that role he is the FIP Program Chair and is currently organizing the sessions for the APS Spring 2011 meetings.

Chairperson, Cherrill Spencer (Stanford)
What can we learn from physics teachers in high scoring countries on the TIMSS and PISA international assessments? Report on an invited session at the 2010 "April" APS meeting held in Washington DC on 16th February, 2010. The session was organized and chaired by Dr Cherrill Spencer, a member-at-large of the Executive Committee of the Forum on International Physics, who has written this detailed summary for the FIP newsletter so that more people than the 30 who attended the session can learn about this topic. This session was co-sponsored by FIP and the Forum on Education.
The Session was of high interest to many in the FIP community and a very extensive description of the talks and discussion is presented in this newsletter as a SPECIAL FEATURE.
Cherrill Spencer is a Member-at-Large of the FIP Executive Committee, and is a Mechanical Engineer at the SLAC National Accelerator Center at Stanford University.

Please keep the following in mind as you integrate your spiritual name into your life:
- It is important to use the correct naad (inner sound current) when speaking your name and when teaching others how to pronounce it. Pronunciation is paramount!
- Listen carefully to the sound byte (pronunciation) of your spiritual name. Pronounce it slowly, and let it resonate within you.
- If you find that your name does not appear as a sound byte, please contact us.
- There may be more than one correct way to spell your name. As most of the names are derived from Gurbani (the sacred language of the Sikhs), there is not a direct transliteration from its alphabet to the English alphabet. Whatever spelling makes the most sense to YOU, and helps you and other people to pronounce your name correctly, is the best spelling to use. We have suggested a common way to spell your name, but remember the most important thing is the correct pronunciation.
- Note that most of these spiritual names are non-gender specific, differentiated by using either Singh (male) or Kaur (female).
- Yogi Bhajan said that using your spiritual name in its entirety is the best way to get the most benefit from it.

1. The OS Is Irrelevant!
As the battle of operating systems (OS) wages on between Apple and Microsoft, many businesses feel caught in the middle, unclear of which system to choose. Once a side has been chosen, there is still the ever-present (and recurring) dilemma over which version to choose -- not to mention the potential nightmare of migration! (e.g., Should we migrate from XP to Windows 7; What pitfalls, if any, might we encounter?, etc...). Consider, instead, going OS neutral. With the growing popularity of Web-delivered software (also referred to as Software as a Service -- or SaaS), companies can relieve themselves of a tremendous headache by relying on experts who deliver always-up-to-date applications via a simple Web browser. This path allows employers to avoid worries over software updates, plus, you have the added benefit of being able to ''take your desktop with you'' (as you can login to your desktop from any computer in the world with a browser and Web access).
2. Ditch the Servers
Perhaps the most significant line item of any IT budget is the costs of hardware (servers); And the hidden cost associated with this occurs when the IT department is pressured to estimate the right size. Assuming a large growth path, many servers must be ordered in advanced to be ready to support the growth. Should downsizing be in the cards, then one needs to plan on decommissioning servers which are hard to dispose of, as they often are worth a fraction of their purchase price. SaaS takes the guesswork out of your budget. In the same fashion that one does not think about the cell phone infrastructure and just orders or decommissions cell phones based on the number of employees, IT managers, can always have the right amount of server power and be poised for growth with SaaS providers.
3. Give Your Employees a (Virtual) Key to the Office
The average American now works longer hours than even our overseas counterparts. If your company makes use of next-generation SaaS tools, your employees can have anytime/anywhere access to their desktop, allowing them to work remotely and during off-hours if that is what is necessary to get the job done. We've found that by making remote access to all aspects of the work environment easy for our employees, they have become infinitely more efficient -- many log-in to check for urgent issues before starting their morning commute and check-in again in the evening -- from home. This type of employee dedication can help propel a company from being just a player in their industry to being "the player."
4. To Thy Own Client Be True
Okay, perhaps that isn't how the saying actually goes however the sentiment is valid. In this day of aggressive competition, it's important to use every tool and advantage you can afford to keep in touch with your clients (and have a reliable means for including personal details and generating automated follow-up reminders). CRM (customer relationship management) software is not new, however the leaders in this industry charge more than a pretty penny for their tools. Consider one of the ''optimally-sized'' versions (such as StreetSmart's Web-based CRM) that can be literally a fraction the cost and which offer the core functionality you need. Don't be left without such a valuable tool just because you've heard CRM software can be too price prohibitive.
5. Automate Your Protection
Every industry has its own set of compliance rules and best business practices. However, many companies overlook one of the most basic -- yet most crucial -- practices: email archiving. This simple step can offer tremendous piece of mind and protection. Investigate automatic email archiving software which has the potential to serve as the most affordable business insurance you have ever had. Such software works invisibly in the background to back-up all employee email, protecting your company from accidental or intentional email deletion.
