In following certain forum threads at jlconline.com, I am surprised at the number of misunderstandings about I-joist installation, considering that all the major I-joist manufacturers have installation instructions. There are specific rules about the size of holes that can be in the webs, and where. The need for end blocking to prevent the joists from rolling is also explained. (Cross-bracing is a separate issue; it helps transfer live load from one joist to the adjacent joist.)
One way to slightly improve floor performance is to increase the thickness of the glued-and-screwed subfloor: For every 1/8 inch increase in thickness above 3/4 inch, there is a 5 percent reduction in deflection for the design load.

my heart
(Source: brain-food)
Isn't it amazing how rhetoric shapes politics? Simple words and images. If you've studied US foreign policy specifically in terms of the Middle East and South and Central Asia, you'll notice how the Western media has maintained a very strong and even strangely hypnotic kind of control over consumers when it comes to the notion of "danger." It's full of sensationalism and trigger-happy as well as trigger-paranoid narrow-minded discourse. After 9/11, the most "dangerous" places in the world were Iraq and Afghanistan. US and its allies deployed troops in both regions, killed thousands and thousands of Iraqis and Afghans, plunged itself into an economic failure, and unwillingly realized only recently that its decision was a flawed, hypocritical one.
Now the rhetoric has shifted its focus on Iran and Pakistan. Two countries that have been under aggressive and relentless US foreign policy for the past decade. With sanctions imposed on Iran and drone strikes in the tribal areas of Pakistan, USA continues to increases its violent pressure on both states. What's amazing is how there's very little opposition from American viewers; the majority plays easily into media's aim to create a phantom Muslim enemy. An enemy that is, statistically speaking, so small and negligent that it barely exists as an "imminent" threat. Putting power politics aside, what does that say about Western media? It highlights its purposeful, malicious bias that perpetuates violence and bigotry against Muslims but it's more than just that: Western media operates like a machine. It facilitates war.
Do you remember this from 1945? Look closer.
"Kill Japs, Kill Japs, then kill more Japs." We all remember what happened then.
It's just incredibly saddening. I grew up thinking words are obsolete, that human sensibility could see through the loopholes and inconsistencies of political rhetoric but when you have media so passionate about exaggeration and dishonesty, and people who are not only unaware but unmoved by tragedies proven over and over again, piles and piles of dead children and women and old people, it's easy for war to happen - again. It's convenient even. Because it satisfies that fear put into you. That "enemy" is dead, your politicians tell you. Then they create another enemy. It's time to kill that "enemy" too.
Words are everything. Western media insists that it is "fair" and "neutral" but it contradicts itself by analyzing international relations without discussing actual politics. Yesterday everyone was worried about nonexistent WMD in Iraq and Afghanistan; today they're worried about Iran and Pakistan.
And you know what could possibly happen after that. Everyone knows.

Are you a leader with
strong interpersonal and communication skills? Do you have the administrative
knowledge required to manage daily activities of schools? Then you might be
ready for a career as an education administrator.
Via the BLS* ...
Successful operation of
an educational institution requires competent administrators. Education
administrators provide instructional leadership and manage the day-to-day
activities in schools, preschools, day care centers, and colleges and
universities. They also direct the educational programs of businesses,
correctional institutions, museums, and job training and community service
organizations. (College presidents and school superintendents are covered in
the Handbook statement on general managers and top executives.)
administrators set educational standards and goals and establish the policies
and procedures required to achieve them. They also supervise managers, support
staff, teachers, counselors, librarians, coaches, and other employees. They
develop academic programs, monitor students' educational progress, train and
motivate teachers and other staff, manage career counseling and other student
services, administer recordkeeping, prepare budgets, and perform many other
duties. They also handle relations with parents, prospective and current
students, employers, and the community. In a smaller organization such as a
small day care center, one administrator may handle all these functions. In
universities or large school systems, responsibilities are divided among many
administrators, each with a specific function.
administrators who manage elementary, middle, and secondary schools are called
principals. They set the academic tone and work actively with teachers to
develop and maintain high curriculum standards, formulate mission statements,
and establish performance goals and objectives. Principals confer with staff to
advise, explain, or answer procedural questions. They hire and evaluate
teachers and other staff. They visit classrooms, observe teaching methods,
review instructional objectives, and examine learning materials. Principals
must use clear, objective guidelines for teacher appraisals, because
principals' pay often is based on performance ratings.
Principals also meet
with other administrators and students, parents, and representatives of
community organizations. Decision-making authority increasingly has shifted
from school district central offices to individual schools. School principals
have greater flexibility in setting school policies and goals, but when making
administrative decisions, they must pay attention to the concerns of parents,
teachers, and other members of the community.
Principals also are
responsible for preparing budgets and reports on various subjects, such as
finances, attendance and student performance. As school budgets become tighter,
many principals have become more involved in public relations and fundraising
to secure financial support for their schools from local businesses and the
Principals ensure that
students meet national, state, and local academic standards. Many principals
develop partnerships with local businesses and school-to-work transition
programs for students. Principals must be sensitive to the needs of a rising
number of non-English-speaking students and a culturally diverse student body.
In some areas, growing enrollments are a cause for concern, because they lead
to overcrowding at many schools. When addressing problems of inadequate resources,
administrators serve as advocates for the building of new schools or the repair
of existing ones. During the summer months, principals are responsible for
planning for the upcoming year, overseeing summer school, participating in
workshops for teachers and administrators, supervising building repairs and
improvements, and working to make sure that the school has adequate staff for
the upcoming school year.
Work environment. Education administrators hold leadership positions with significant responsibility.
Most find working with students extremely rewarding, but as the
responsibilities of administrators have increased in recent years, so has the
stress. Coordinating and interacting with faculty, parents, students, community
members, business leaders, and State and local policymakers can be fast paced
and stimulating, but also stressful and demanding. Principals and assistant
principals, whose duties include disciplining students, may find working with
difficult students challenging. They also are increasingly being held
accountable for their schools meeting State and Federal guidelines for student
performance and teacher qualifications.
About 35 percent of
education administrators worked more than 40 hours a week in 2008; they often
supervise school activities at night and on weekends. Most administrators work
year round, although some work only during the academic year.
Most education
administrators begin their careers as teachers and prepare for advancement into
education administration by completing a master's or doctoral degree. Because
of the diversity of duties and levels of responsibility, educational
backgrounds and experience vary considerably among these workers.
Education and training. Principals, assistant principals, central office administrators, academic
deans, and preschool directors usually have held teaching positions before
moving into administration. Some teachers move directly into principal
positions; others first become assistant principals or gain experience in other
administrative jobs at either the school or district level in positions such as
department head, curriculum specialist, or subject matter advisor.
In most public schools,
principals, assistant principals, and school district administrators need a
master's degree in education administration or educational leadership. Some
principals and central office administrators have a doctorate or specialized
degree in education administration. In private schools, some principals and
assistant principals hold only a bachelor's degree, but the majority of
principals have a master's or doctoral degree.
requirements for administrators of preschools and child care centers vary with
the setting of the program and the State of employment. Administrators who
oversee preschool programs in public schools often are required to have at
least a bachelor's degree. Child care directors who supervise private programs
typically are not required to have a degree; however, most States require a
preschool education credential, which often includes some postsecondary
College and university
academic deans and chairpersons usually advance from professorships in their
departments, for which they need a master's or doctoral degree; further
education is not typically necessary. Admissions, student affairs, and
financial aid directors and registrars sometimes start in related staff jobs
with bachelor's degrees—any field usually is acceptable—and obtain advanced
degrees in college student affairs, counseling, or higher education
administration. A Ph.D. or Ed.D. usually is necessary for top student affairs
positions. Computer literacy and a background in accounting or statistics may
be assets in admissions, records, and financial work.
Advanced degrees in
higher education administration, educational leadership, and college student
affairs are offered in many colleges and universities. Education administration
degree programs include courses in school leadership, school law, school
finance and budgeting, curriculum development and evaluation, research design
and data analysis, community relations, politics in education, and counseling.
The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the
Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) accredit programs designed
for elementary and secondary school administrators. Although completion of an
accredited program is not required, it may assist in fulfilling licensure
Licensure and
certification. Most states require principals to be licensed as school
administrators. License requirements vary by state, but nearly all states
require either a master's degree or some other graduate-level training. Some
states also require candidates for licensure to pass a test. On-the-job
training, often with a mentor, is increasingly required or recommended for new
school leaders. Some states require administrators to take continuing education
courses to keep their license, thus ensuring that administrators have the most
up-to-date skills. The number and types of courses required to maintain
licensure vary by state. Principals in private schools are not subject to State
licensure requirements.
Nearly all states
require child care and preschool center directors to be licensed. Licensing
usually requires a number of years of experience or hours of coursework or
both. Sometimes, it requires a college degree. Often, directors also are
required to earn a general preschool education credential, such as the Child Development
Associate credential (CDA) sponsored by the Council for Professional
Recognition, or some other credential designed specifically for directors. One
credential designed specifically for directors is the National Administration
Credential, offered by the National Child Care Association. The credential
requires experience and training in child care center management.
There usually are no
licensing requirements for administrators at postsecondary institutions.
Other qualifications. To be considered for education administrator positions, workers must
first prove themselves in their current jobs. In evaluating candidates,
supervisors look for leadership, determination, confidence, innovativeness, and
motivation. The ability to make sound decisions and to organize and coordinate
work efficiently is essential. Because much of an administrator's job involves
interacting with others, a person in such a position must have strong
interpersonal skills and be an effective communicator and motivator. Knowledge
of leadership principles and practices, gained through work experience and
formal education, is important. A familiarity with computer technology is a
necessity for many of these workers as computers are used to perform their
basic job duties and they may be responsible for coordinating technical
resources for students, teachers, and classrooms.
Advancement. Education administrators advance through promotion to higher level
administrative positions or by transferring to comparable positions at larger
schools or systems. They also may become superintendents of school systems or
presidents of educational institutions.
administrators held about 445,400 jobs in 2008. Of these, about 58,900 were
held by preschool or child care administrators, about 230,600 by elementary or
secondary school administrators, and 124,600 by postsecondary administrators.
The great majority—more than 81 percent—worked in public or private educational
institutions. Most of the remainder worked in child day care centers.
If you're interested in a career as an education administrator, fill out the form on the right — you'll be contacted by an admissions counselor at a school that offers degrees related to education administration.

Needing a road victory over Elkton Friday night to secure their second straight UCBAC Chesapeake Division title, the Edgewood Rams won in commanding fashion, polishing off the Elks, 65-44.
The victory put Edgewood at 11-1 in Chesapeake (upper) play and 17-4 overall. Patterson Mill finished in second place with a 10-2 upper-division mark. The Rams will move on to play Susquehanna (lower) Division champ Joppatowne in the UCBAC title game at 5 p.m. Wednesday at C. Milton Wright. Last year, the Rams captured their first UCBAC crown with a 55-41 victory over Patterson Mill in the conference championship game.
Jaleel Gibson helped the winning cause with a game-best 25 points, 10 rebounds and three steals. Edgewood's Lenier Tucker had 12 points and eight rebounds, while Roderick Harrison posted nine points, four rebounds and two steals. Kevin Ringgold and Lolami Charles both scored six points in the victory. Charles pulled down 10 rebounds, while Ringgold dished out a team-high three assists.

Theo Peckham: Rock And A Hard Place
I'm beginning our look at 09-10 defenseman with a very important piece of the future: Theo Peckham. Unique among the young defensemen knocking at the NHL door, Peckham has the physical tools required to play at this level. There are concerns with regard to injury and conditioning, but the resume is a good one.
- Boxcars: 15gp, 0-1-1
- Shots: 9
- Plus Minus: -8
- Corsi (Rel): -12.6 (5th among D, DNQ)
- 5×5/60: 0.28 (6th among F's, DNQ)
- 5×4/60: nil
- Quality of Competition: 5th toughest among D's
- Quality of Teammates: 7th best among D's
- Offensive Zone Start FO %: 38.9% (toughest among D's, DNQ)
- Cap Hit: $600,000 (RFA)
- What do these numbers tell us? Peckham was injured before training camp and then conditioning was a problem (such a problem the Oilers management actually mentioned it). You can see it too: in October 2009, Peckham went 4gp, 0-0-0 -5. In his 11 March games, he was 0-1-1 -3. The kid was playing bigger minutes in March too.
- How could these numbers be better? Just more time. He had 43 pims and was a willing fighter, and he had calm feet (or calmer feet) late in the season. Peckham gives you the idea that he can make a play, be it a physical manhandling or reading a situation. He is somewhat alone among the group of defensemen bubbling under for the Oilers.
- What was said about his conditioning? Last fall, Rob Daum was on Bob Stauffer's show and suggested conditioning was an issue. He even mentioned conditioning was an issue when Peckham was healthy. I think the problem may have come from not being able to workout due to the pre-training camp injury (ankle) but either way it was enough of an issue for management to say it out loud and that's a pretty big deal.
- What's he good at? Why do you like him? Peckham plays with confidence and is tough enough to stand in there during all those physical exchanges around the net. He's 6.02, 225 and although there will be growing pains I can't see anyone in the system being close to this guy in the fall.
- Did management show any kind of trust in him? Pat Quinn: "When I first saw him (in an Oilers uniform), the scouting report was that he was a tough kid who didn't really know how to play. When he came back (on his most recent call-up), he showed us that he had a little bit more than just being a tough guy. As he played and gained our confidence, he was gaining his own as well. They were really good minutes for him."
- How important is he to the organization? Pretty important. I think the organization is probably moving their depth chart around, with Chorney stepping into an elevator shaft and Petry's NHL ETA being pushed back. If we can agree that Plante and Motin will need some more time in the AHL, then Theo Peckham is it. Also, there's every chance the club is going to sign someone from the Strudwick-Johnson tree, meaning that Peckham has an extremely reachable bar in terms of getting into the top 6D on the depth chart. And that's before injuries.
Projected Role in 2009-10: Top 6D on the Edmonton Oilers

Apple is far from done expanding distribution
That's still a high end discussion. Unless and until it does the now Unicorn-status iPhone 2, it isn't really a player in this argument.
To date, I'd say that the evidence (especially downloads) suggests that Android phones are being used as smart phones even if they browse less and even if they are not as willing to pay for the software. Even if, in other words, they aren't high end phone consumers. They are still recognizably using the phones as smart phones.
But, maybe as that moves down market, the lines between feature phones, outright dumb phones, and smart phones really starts to blur in a more serious way.
Maybe some just buy the phone because they are cheap and available and there's this rump data plan that never costs them much. Maybe they don't download much free software, even.
To put it succintly, there's a lot more people like my wife than like me left to buy that first smart phone. Maybe they don't want what we want. Yet, it seems likely the makers of smart phones will work hard to entice them. It seems quite plausible to me that they will ultimately succeed. Maybe there's a dumb phone face that is there until you press a special button to get to the "smart" stuff. My wife might go for that. Something.
But, once we finally get there, and entice whomever isn't buying them now, on what principled basis can we exclude them from this discussion? Some of these folks are going to have WiFi just fine and so even if they don't do one of my favorite arguments (they don't find Joe's Pizza parlor very much) and they don't do what the iPhone users do, so what?
The specs on these phones are likely to be good by today's smartphone standard and some of these people are going to spend a lot of time in apps even if many do not behave in ways we expect.
The only reason to exclude them, if all this comes to pass (and I think we are closer than you think, because this is where a lot of the remaining volumes are going to be), is for partisan reasons on one side or the other. If they have a phone with any of the advanced OSes on it (including iOS if Apple decides to go downmarket), then I think we're eventually going to have to account for it in any "dominance" discussion. Because, even if they use advanced services less often, there's just going to be so many of these folks, it's going to collectively add up to a lot. And, we may see a long tail argument where a lot of these folks may be very selective in the services they consume, because they just can't be bothered to care enough, but they will still consume them.

8 U.S. Code § 1360 - Establishment of central file; information from other departments and agencies
(a) Establishment of central file
There shall be established in the office of the Commissioner, for the use of security and enforcement agencies of the Government of the United States, a central index, which shall contain the names of all aliens heretofore admitted or denied admission to the United States, insofar as such information is available from the existing records of the Service, and the names of all aliens hereafter admitted or denied admission to the United States, the names of their sponsors of record, if any, and such other relevant information as the Attorney General shall require as an aid to the proper enforcement of this chapter.

(2) If earnings are reported on or after January 1, 1997, to the Social Security Administration on a social security account number issued to an alien not authorized to work in the United States, the Commissioner of Social Security shall provide the Attorney General with information regarding the name and address of the alien, the name and address of the person reporting the earnings, and the amount of the earnings. The information shall be provided in an electronic form agreed upon by the Commissioner and the Attorney General.

Even until recently, I was afraid to tell anyone, for fear of the reaction that I would get, or the way they would view me. I felt that if I told my story, I would be wearing the scarlet 'A' forever. I felt that I would be one of the vicious women that senators and representatives talk about who 'abort their babies to fit into a prom dress'. That kind of rhetoric hurts me because that wasn't what happened. […]
Even though some people may see me differently after knowing I had an abortion, I've chosen to share my story to let others in the community know that abortion shouldn't be a taboo subject. We can comfort one another and change the conversation. We can shape what people hear about our lives and our stories.

I got a little confused, so decided to write a post about it.
I just found it a bit weird that we got it first to see, tho it is not the first time things like that happen, BBC's Rome got broadcasted earlier than on the BBC, I remember there were some rumblings on that. (you can't call Englishmen rioting more than that when sober :p )
I love it to bits ^^
*Spoiler Alert*
In the third episode where Peter sounded quite horny when talking to Kyle.(I'm not putting the actors' names since it was all part of the acting )
I loved the scene where Karl Davies tries to entertain the baby and not ending in the cliché "hurt yourself to cheer up the baby"-thingywingy.
oh well the total viewers is not that great, tho it's 10'th on the day with 475360( on 6.3 million people in Flanders and dutch speaking people from Brussels) viewers. Extrapolated to the UK it would be 4.6m viewers
Noted that it's broadcasted fridayevening at 22h. not really primetime. Viewerpercentage is 24.5%. So 1 in 4 is watching Stephen Fry prancing around on tv.

The fact that they already aired 2 series and are now airing the third means that the VRT is content with viewing figures. Those figures aren't bad at all opposed to some other programmes they showed on Friday evening.

Some 67 years ago, a broken, emaciated boy looked up and saw an American soldier sitting astride a tank outside the gates of Dachau, the 10th concentration camp the boy had endured during the long war.
The hazel-eyed soldier hopped down and handed the boy rations he was eating. The boy ate with his fingers before dropping to his knees and kissing the soldier's boots. A radio crackled with orders for the soldier to move on as part of the liberation effort. But first, the soldier hoisted the boy up and handed him a handkerchief decorated with a 48-star American flag.

Gibb and his twin brother Maurice and older brother Barry began their professional career in Australia in the early '60s and gained international success after recording hits such as "New York Mining Disaster 1941" and "To Love Somebody" in England. Robin Gibb sang lead vocals on several notable hits, including "I Started a Joke." Moving from a smooth pop sound, they became superstars of the '70s disco era following their contributions to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, including "Stayin' Alive," "Night Fever" and "How Deep Is Your Love." The three Gibb brothers co-wrote "Islands in the Stream," which was recorded by Rogers and Parton and spent two weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's country singles chart in 1983. The Bee Gees were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Maurice Gibb died in 2003 of cardiac arrest from complications from a twisted intestine.

EAST BRAINERD, Tenn. (WRCB) -- Tre Herndon takes risks and makes quick decisions on the football field, but the East Hamilton standout took the opposite approach to his college recruitment.
After receiving interest from lower-tier FBS school and a host of FCS suitors, the rising senior defensive back kept grinding and kept waiting.
That patience paid off last weekend.
Herndon received a scholarship offer from Vanderbilt during a visit to Nashville and subsequently committed to play football for the Commodores.
"I was always hoping to get an SEC offer, but it's all about patience," Herndon said. "I was just waiting on everything and trying not to rush the process, but once I got that offer, I couldn't pass it up."
Herndon is the first East Hamilton player to receive an SEC offer.
Head coach James Franklin kept tabs on Herndon for several months, and finally saw enough to make the 6-foot, 175-pound athlete a part of the Vandy family.
"I didn't know if they would eventually offer after my first camp. I got invited back after that one in June, but he told me to improve on a few things," Herndon said. "When I came back to the second camp, they saw that I had worked on those things and that's when they really jumped on board.
"They want me to keep working with my team, focus on my footwork and working hard. I'm going to go out and have a big blowout season then get ready to get there freshman year and do some work."
Herndon did plenty of work as a junior last fall, recording 63 tackles, four interceptions and eleven pass break-ups while helping the Hurricanes advance to the Class 4A state quarterfinals in an 11-2 season.
The three-star prospect (247Sports.com) drew offers from Memphis, Middle Tennessee State, Appalachian State and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, among others, but Vandy obviously stood above the pack in every regard.
"The location is great because it's close enough my family can still come to the games, but it's far enough away that I can still get out of Chattanooga," Herndon said. "The coaches are amazing guys and the players treated me like family. It's in the SEC, which is the best conference in football, and of course there's academics -- to get a degree from Vanderbilt.
"All that together made the decision easy."

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2006 Kia Rio
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Decent base transportation with better styling and more power than predecessor.
The revamped 2006 Kia Rio shows that economy cars are getting better because of an increasingly competitive market.
The small, front-wheel-drive Kia Rio has helped change some old thinking about "cheap wheels." While decent, it's lacked the refinement of most rivals. It mainly has made a name for itself since its arrival as an $8,895 sedan in late 2000 because it's been the lowest-cost car sold in this country for most of its life.
The Rio also has been backed by a long warranty from Kia's parent company, South Korea's Hyundai. Many buyers have figured that the Rio had to be at least fairly good if it had a 5-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
The same long warranty has helped draw people to Hyundai-badged models, and Hyundai correctly predicted that the warranty would attract Rio buyers. Of course, the warranty would have meant nothing if Hyundais and Kias fell apart, but that hasn't been the case.
Major Improvements
The new Rio couldn't have arrived at a better time for Kia because high gasoline prices have made small cars more popular this year. Kia expects that the small car market will grow by about 30 percent over the next two years—or probably more if gas prices become higher.
Horsepower of the Rio's small-but-sophisticated 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine is up from 104 to 110. The fastest acceleration is with the standard 5-speed manual gearbox because the engine is small, although the manual shifter has an imprecise action. Acceleration is average at highway speeds with either the manual or $850 4-speed automatic transmission, and engine revs are high above 65 mph even with the manual in overdrive fifth gear.
But Kia says the Rio's fuel economy is up 20 percent despite the additional horsepower.
Good Fuel Economy
The moderately handsome Rio is sold as a sedan with a conventional trunk in the $10,570 base and $12,445 LX trim levels—and as the sportier $13,500 Rio5 hatchback in SX guise.
Both Rio versions have increased width and height to provide roomier interiors, which comfortably accommodate four tall adults.
Longer Sedan
Newly standard are front-seat side airbags and full-length head-protecting side-curtain airbags. The wheelbase is longer to help provide a smoother ride, and there's a wider track for better handling and a more purposeful-looking stance.
Quieter Interior
Front seats offer only marginal side support in curves, but climate controls are large and audio system controls are mounted high for convenient use.
Stripped Base Sedan
A $600 Power package with power windows, door locks with remote keyless entry, power heated mirrors and tweeter speakers is offered for the LX sedan and Rio5 SX.
The LX sedan has standard air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD audio system, power steering with a tilt wheel and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat.
The Rio5 hatchback has all the LX features and adds 15-inch alloy wheels with wider tires for slightly better handling, fog lights, a rear spoiler, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, metal-grain interior trim and metal pedals.
Roomier Hatchback
The hatchback provides 49.6 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded forward, while Kia says the sedan's cargo area totals about 24 cubic feet with its rear seatbacks folded forward.
Average Roadability
However, all versions have a comfortable ride for a small car. And the brake pedal has a linear action for smooth stops, although stopping distances are average.
The new Rio sedan and hatchback are expected to appeal to younger and slightly more affluent buyers, evenly split between men and women. They're still mainly for those on limited car budgets, but don't look or drive like economic hardships.

They are, in no particular order, a grandmother of nine, a poet, a black belt in martial arts, a former student body vice president, a sociologist, an ex-schoolteacher and more. And they are, quite literally, the most powerful women on earth: the world's 18 current female presidents and prime ministers. That number has nearly doubled since 1990—and thank goodness, because female leaders are changing the course of history, not only for the half of the world that is female but for us all.
It's about time. Women are the globe's greatest underused resource. "Not so long ago, the prime ministers and presidents were almost all men," says United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. "Women have a fresh outlook on our most difficult problems, whether it's climate change or peace in the Middle East. This is a sea change."
Perhaps that's why a record number of women have landed the top job. Just last month Brazil (population 200 million) became the most recent large country to signal it was ready for female leadership when Dilma Rousseff captured the most votes in the presidential election. (At press time she was favored to win the October 31 runoff.) "In some countries we have had the right to vote for less than 100 years, so the entry of women into political leadership has caused a tsunami," says Iveta Radičová, prime minister of the Slovak Republic.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia's "Iron Lady"—who survived imprisonment by political enemies to become, in 2005, the first woman elected president in Africa—agrees. "With more women heads of state, we will have a more peaceful and prosperous world based upon integrity, justice and equity," she says.
Why? Because even women at the top know what it's like to be a second-class citizen. "Unlike male leaders before me, I drew upon my experience as a South Asian woman, mother and daughter to promote human rights for all," says Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh. And after all, these leaders are uniquely great at handling the daily demands of caring for others. "Women are more focused on the quality of life in their countries," says President Dalia Grybauskaitė, called "the Hope of Lithuania." "They are more involved in family policies, child care and poverty reduction." They also tend to be more inclusive. "As a woman, my style defines my leadership. It's a gentler, more compassionate approach," says Kamla Persad-Bissessar, prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago. "I consult, I listen and I compromise where it's in the best interest of the citizens."
Despite this progress, sexism still abounds. "The media continued to ask 'feminine' instead of 'political' questions," says Jadranka Kosor, prime minister of Croatia. "When I became prime minister, the question that I had to answer most often was 'Are you afraid?'" (Hardly—Kosor has fearlessly battled government corruption, domestic violence and even gender stereotyping in school.)
"In working so hard to raise awareness of the shocking scale of the poverty, oppression and violence visited on the world's women, these female heads of state have issued a powerful cry for justice," Gordon Brown, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, tells Glamour. Thanks to them, he says, women's global empowerment "is not simply possible, but the great moral imperative of our time."
* As of press time, there were 18 current female presidents and prime ministers. On October 31, Dilma Rousseff was elected President of Brazil. When she takes office in January 2011, there will be 19 female presidents and prime ministers.

Americans have come to detest Congress ever more deeply as it nears the end of a nasty fight over health care. But more than half still back President Barack Obama, a bright spot for a Democratic Party counting on its leader to help stave off expected losses in elections this fall.
The latest Associated Press-GfK poll found that fewer people approve of Congress than at any point in Obama's presidency. Support has dropped significantly since January to a dismal 22 percent as the health care debate has roiled Capitol Hill. Neither Republicans nor Democrats are safe; half of all people say they want to fire their congressman.
Conversely, Obama's job-performance standing is holding fairly steady at 53 percent. And over the past two months, the Democrat has gained ground on national security issues, specifically the subsiding Iraq war and the escalating Afghanistan war, as he has spent most of his time — at least publicly — on domestic matters like the economy and health care. On those issues, he still has the support of about half the people.
"I agree with what Obama is trying to do, but nobody is listening to him," said Grace Pope of Waterville, Maine. But this 75-year-old Democrat added, "I don't think that the Congress is doing anything."
Such sentiments and the survey's results make clear that Obama remains far more popular than House and Senate members as he leads a Democratic Party facing a volatile election-year environment that, so far, seems to be trending in Republicans' favor. Judging by his standing at this point, Obama seems to be an asset for his rank and file.
But, given the fickleness of this electorate, the uncertainty of the health care debate and the stubbornly high unemployment rate, the president could just as quickly turn into a liability. His own clout will be on the line in the first midterm elections of his presidency. And the outcome is certain to shape the remainder of his first term, if not his likely re-election bid in 2012.
For now, it's unclear just how much Obama can do to prevent midterm election shellackings. Democrats lost recent statewide elections in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia even though he campaigned for them. Presidents typically lose House and Senate seats in their first midterm elections. And the party in power usually bears the brunt of voters' ire when the country is in turmoil.
Thus, another of the poll's findings may not bode well for Obama and his Democrats: A clear majority of Americans — 56 percent — now say the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Democrat Benny Newman of Tulsa, Okla., laid the blame for the nation's ills on both Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress.
"Just bundle them in the same bag," said Newman, who at 79 just lost a job with a local public school district because of budget woes. "I don't think either one of them is interested in the general public. … They're always stalling, playing politics, trying to jockey for a better position for their own re-election."
In recent weeks, Obama has increasingly blamed the ways of Washington for a lack of progress on his agenda — even though he's in the White House and his party is leading Congress. The disparity between his popularity and Congress' shows his pitch may just be working.
Obama's overall standing hasn't really moved since January. Neither have his ratings on health care and the economy.
But his marks have jumped on Iraq and Afghanistan. More than half of people approve of how he's handling the wars, with 55 percent backing him on Iraq and 57 percent supporting him on Afghanistan. That's compared with 49 percent for each two months ago. The new poll was taken during weekend elections in Iraq, where a U.S. troop drawdown is under way, and in the midst of a buildup in Afghanistan, as the U.S. notches victories in rooting out suspected terrorists.
By comparison, Congress' approval rating has dropped 10 percentage points since January, perhaps an indication that people are blaming lawmakers more than the president for gridlock that has paralyzed Washington on a host of fronts.
It is quite unusual for voters to tear down their own member of Congress. People often dislike the institution of Congress but usually support their own representatives. But not this year. Half said they wanted to elect someone other than their current congressman; only 40 percent wanted to re-elect their lawmaker.
"I don't think anybody up there is doing a good job. … We need to get rid of them all and institute term limits," said Republican John Campbell, 52, of Del Rio, Texas, a warden at a federal detention center. He castigated Washington as full of "cronies" and Congress as a "bunch of entitled prima donnas."
"Washington," he said, "is broke."
As poor as the ratings are for Congress in general, people seem slightly more unhappy with Republicans than Democrats — another bit of potentially good news for Obama's party.
Just 30 percent approve of how Republicans in Congress are doing their jobs compared with 36 percent for Democrats.
Republicans still trail Democrats on the question of who should win control of Congress come November; 44 percent say Democrats, 38 percent say Republicans.
And the GOP has a slight disadvantage on two issues that voters deem among the most important — the economy and health care.
Still, Democrats are vulnerable, and perhaps nothing illustrates that vulnerability better than this: By 67 percent to 59 percent, more independents disapprove of Democrats in Congress than disapprove of Republicans. This matters because independents usually determine who wins elections. And they have been moving away from Democrats, after heavily supporting them in 2006 and 2008.
The AP-GfK Poll was conducted March 3-8, 2010, by GfK Roper Public Affairs & Media. It involved landline and cell phone interviews with 1,002 adults nationwide, and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.
Associated Press Polling Director Trevor Tompson, AP News Survey Specialist Dennis Junius and AP Writer Ann Sanner contributed to this report.

If people are so fed up with Congress, as they have been for years, why are these people continually re-elected?
Maybe after the disgrace of a government we have now after the last election people will wake up and realize that we need better candidates than a bunch of fork-tongued, fast-talking snake oil salespersons.
It's long past time to demand minimum requirements to hold office, including drug screeing before swearing in and radomly thereafter (like the rest of us have to do for even a minimum wage job), a psychological exam, in-depth knowlege of our Constitution, and some form of business acumen, to name a few. Our founders are probably rolling in their graves over what has become of government now.

She was amazing, it was a very "Susan Boyle" as we really didn't expect that little sweetheart to sing so well. I was really touched but how excited she was, she was so nervous at the end. I read that she's been performing for a while and is known in the "opera circuit" but she still deserves all the credit for that beutiful performance.For more details, videos, a quick bio on Jackie, have a look at http://www.remotepatrolled.com/2010/08/americas-got-talent-you-tube-special-jackie-evancho/

I assume provider you described is Ziggo? There's technical description of their solution on http://www.technischweekblad.nl/hotspot-groningen.297341.lynkx. Google translate turns it to good enough English.
Ziggo tunnels visitor traffic so customer that hosts access point don't need to worry about cops knocking on door due someone else abusing connection. It's same way Finnish provider "Wippies" did years ago before closing down. This is also right way to solve this problem and also fixes at least routing and session persistence issues with roaming between access points. Other roaming issues such as client sticking to distant AP may still be present if there's no AP-to-AP RF management features like those in Aruba, Cisco etc. enterprise wireless (controller based) solutions.
Don't forget Hauppauge i486 motherboard that had i860 on it. Not quite i960, but still RISC. Pretty much only thing you could do with i860 side was running sample application included on floppies that rotated some characters on upper right corner of screen - and that rotation persisted over reboot with ctrl+alt+delete. Whoo, multi-processing! I think i860 processor on that motherboard was intended to be used together with bundled non-standard display adapter for some sort of CAD use.
I actually had one of those, got it from some bankrupt company with full manuals, compiler for i860 etc. Shame I've lost it over years as I doubt there's many of those left today. Even had that custom display adapter and bunch of technical information from factory as it was some sort of pre-production sample sent to company importing Hauppauge products.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The two finalists for the Wisconsin Supreme Court will debate each other Friday night for the second time.
Incumbent Pat Roggensack and challenger Ed Fallone will discuss the issues at a forum in Madison sponsored by the State Bar Association and We the People-Wisconsin.
WISC-TV in Madison will televise the debate at a later time, and it will be shown on its Web site as well. Eric Franke of WISC will be the moderator.
Roggensack is running for a second 10-year term. If she wins, the court will keep its current four-member conservative majority.
Fallone, a Marquette Law School professor, has many Democrats supporting him.
Fallone says he would end the dysfunction among the current justices – while Roggensack says her 17 years of judicial experience makes her the better choice.

It can be forked and other people can add comments. Github being an amazing place to share code.
For anybody looking to see what it takes to modify turgo's KS
At the above github reference click/step into "ThingSpeakMultichannel001.html"
then press the "Blame" button and the new window will show the modifications by line number in light yellow "b8238f46 »"
For any 3rd person to make modifications, copy ThingSpeakMultichannel001.html into a file of your own, and then from the line numbers shown in the "Blame" view make the modifications in your file.
For the hell of it I've also put it up here where it runs on the web
however it seems like there isn't a way of sharing it.
If it can find away of sharing it, it would be easy for anyone to make small changes to - add their channel numbers and fields - and see what happens, no website needed.

Harness your data resources in healthcare
Data is growing and moving faster than healthcare organizations can consume it; 80% of medical data is unstructured and is clinically relevant. This data resides in multiple places like individual EMRs, lab and imaging systems, physician notes, medical correspondence, claims, CRM systems and finance. Getting access to this valuable data and factoring it into clinical and advanced analytics is critical to improving care and outcomes, incentivizing the right behavior and driving efficiencies.
Healthcare organizations are leveraging big data technology to capture all of the information about a patient to get a more complete view for insight into care coordination and outcomes-based reimbursement models, population health management, and patient engagement and outreach. Successfully harnessing big data unleashes the potential to achieve the three critical objectives for healthcare transformation:
- Build sustainable healthcare systems
- Collaborate to improve care and outcomes
- Increase access to healthcare
Build sustainable healthcare systems
The healthcare industry is under competitive and legislative pressure to reduce the cost of care, efficiently manage resources and improve patient care. Societal changes, such as the way consumers expect to purchase and receive care; lifestyle choices including the use of social media and mobile technology; the continued rise of chronic disease; and the push to expand access to primary care are transforming the way healthcare is obtained, delivered and paid for.
Healthcare organizations are laying the foundation for enterprise health analytics enriched with big data to get a more insightful understanding of the patient in the context of who they are and driving effective resource utilization across the healthcare ecosystem.
To better handle exponential growth in patient data, the healthcare organization Fletcher Allen turned to IBM for their solution. This allowed them to put refined analytic information in the hands of more medical practitioners to improve the quality of care.

Collaborate to improve care and outcomes
Healthcare organizations need to improve the quality and efficiency of care while cultivating patient centricity through engagement and healthcare personalization. Regulatory and marketplace changes require a deeper understanding and management of the risks within patient populations in order to drive better outcomes and reduce readmission rates.
Understanding the patient in the context of who they are as individuals is essential in creating effective programs that drive change. This can be achieved with clinical and advanced analytics enhanced with big data.

Increase access to healthcare
To improve the health and well-being of our population, we must find ways to increase access through more effective engagement. According to the McKinsey report on big data, an estimated 150M patients in the U.S. in 2010 were chronically ill with diseases such as diabetes, congestive heart failure and hypertension, and they accounted for more than 80% of health system costs that year. Engaging and educating consumers to make informed decisions about preventive care and provider networks can improve health and reduce demand and waste in healthcare.
