235 Local Chapters Bring Acute and Critical Care Nursing to the Community.
AACN chapters provide the opportunity for nurses to directly affect their profession at the local level. AACN chapter members are among the most enthusiastic and active recruiters of new nursing professionals.
Chapters plan and execute educational programs of interest to local AACN members and nonmembers alike. Chapters often sponsor community events such as CPR classes, health fairs and school career days, and they participate in the programs of other organizations.
AACN Is a Leader in Setting the Standards for Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice and Education.
Standards of Acute and Critical Care Nursing Practice, a resource widely used by hospitals and schools of nursing, is available from the association. This document describes the role, standards of care and professional practice that all nurses who care for acutely and critically ill patients should meet.
AACN developed and released Scope and Standards for the Critical Care Clinical Nurse Specialist, a key document in describing the role and practice of advanced practice nurses, and AACN Standards for Establishing and Sustaining Healthy Work Environments: A Journey to Excellence, which provides healthcare organizations with a benchmark for targeting patient safety and staff retention improvement efforts.
AACN also shapes acute and critical care nursing practice through its Protocols for Practice. These evidence-based guidelines address key aspects of care for acutely and critically ill patients, and provide up-to-date research information. In addition, Education Standards for Critical Care Nursing describes the factors that must be in place for an effective critical care education program.
The Beacon Award for Excellence Recognizes and Acclaims Acute and Critical Care Nursing Units that Achieve the Highest-Quality Outcomes.
The award also provides a mechanism for individual units to measure progress against evidence-based, national criteria for excellence, learn and refine processes and be heralded for their achievements. Applicants are rated on factors including nurse recruitment and retention, staff training, patient outcomes, healthy work environments, leadership and evidence-based practice and research. The Beacon Award is presented twice a year and is available for Critical Care, Progressive Care and Pediatric Critical Care units.
AACN Certification Programs Provide a Mechanism for Acute and Critical Care Nurses to Validate Their Knowledge of Acute and Critical Care Nursing.
AACN Certification Corporation, the certification arm of AACN, develops and administers the CCRN, PCCN, CCRN-E, CCNS and ACNPC specialty exams, CNML exam and the CMC and CSC subspecialty exams. These exams have been demonstrated to be legally defensible and psychometrically sound indicators of mastery of the knowledge, skills and abilities to practice effectively in a defined role or specialty.
The exams are administered via computer-based testing at locations nationwide. Paper-and-pencil versions of the exams are also offered during the annual National Teaching Institute (NTI) and biannual TRENDS conferences. The exams are open to nurses who meet the eligibility requirements, which include a specified period of practice in the role being tested.
AACN Invests in the Future by Supporting Nursing Research.

Playing Good Financial Offense
Ryan is a guest author from Millionaire Money Habits, a personal finance site that discusses how to build wealth by developing the habits of self-made millionaires. Subscribe to his RSS feed.
In the Millionaire Next Door, author Thomas Stanley talks about the importance of playing good financial defense in order to build wealth. In other words, controlling your spending and expenses in order to keep more of your money.
Financial defense is one way to increase your net worth, but many people either focus on or want to achieve the flip side of that concept. That would be to play good financial offense by increasing your income in order to produce and build wealth.
What is the Best Way to Increase Income?
Playing financial offense is a proactive, thoughtful approach to increasing income. It's about planning and executing, as opposed to reacting to a situation. Too often people hope to increase their income by getting a promotion or a raise by working hard. That's great, but you can take more control and create an offensive strategy to achieve your income goals rather than hope for them.
By taking initiative and having a clear plan on how to bring in more money, it would be virtually impossible not to achieve some level of success. Here is how I would recommend going about this:
Identify Your Goals
Take 15 minutes and give yourself some quiet time with no TV, no kids and no email. Shut it all down. Grab a sheet of paper and a pen and draw a line down the middle. Label the columns "short-term" and "long-term." Now write down how much money you want to increase your income within the next 6 – 12 months and in the next 5 years. Winning the lotto does not count.
Create a Plan
Now, think about how you are going to reach these goals. Under the dollar amount you just listed, write 3-5 ways to reach these goals. Let me give you an example:
short-term goal = $5,000/year increase in income
- Negotiate a raise
- Interview for a higher paying position
- Start a part-time handyman business
- Get a weekend job
- Find valuable things at auctions to sell on eBay
long-term goal = Make $100,000/year
- Become director of x at my company
- Obtain 25 cash-flowing rental properties over the next 5 years
- Grow my part-time business to bring $X revenue
The examples above are to get you started. For each item, take each point a step further and have an action plan on how you could feasibly make them a reality. To negotiate a raise, for example, do some research on how to negotiate a raise and prepare a case to present to your boss.
Now that you have identified your goals and drawn out a plan, take action and execute your plan. You may fail at one or two of these, but that is why you should have a number of paths to achieve your goal. You will learn from your mistakes, and will be better prepared to brush yourself off and try again.
While Thomas Stanley stresses the importance of playing good financial defense in order to accumulate wealth, you can accelerate your goals by being offensively alert as well. Set some goals that you will hold yourself accountable to, take a proactive approach to increasing your cash flow, and start making more money for yourself.

6 Dumb Celebrities Who Are Way Smarter Than You Think
#3. Jerry Springer: Political Wunderkind
Michael Loccisano / Getty
It's a popular piece of trivia that Jerry Springer used to be the mayor of Cincinnati, which would seem to make him overqualified for his more famous career as the host of a televised bum fight. But it's not the biggest mismatch in the history of professions. Politicians are known for exploiting the underprivileged and being smarmy and disingenuous, which is also the TiVo description of The Jerry Springer Show.
There's more chair-throwing in politics, but still.
The Truth:
Springer wasn't some slimy politician who bribed his way into public office. He was a goddamn prodigy. He graduated from Northwestern University's law school and immediately became a political campaign adviser to Robert F. Kennedy at the ripe age of 26. When fate intervened in the form of a crazy guy with a gun, Springer moved back to Ohio and ran for Congress against a beloved Republican in a traditionally Republican district. The move was considered ballsy by way of crazy, until he won 45 percent of the vote, and soon after he got elected to the Cincinnati city council. He was 27 years old.
Cincinnati Museum Center / Getty
And markedly less oily.
A few years later, he was forced to resign after bouncing a check at a rub-and-tug massage parlor across the river in Kentucky (we didn't mean to imply that he wasn't smarmy). Here's where you'd expect Springer to declare his innocence and express shock that those women hadn't voluntarily J'ed him O. Instead, he owned that shit, admitting his error in a brutally honest press conference that got him re-elected in a landslide the next year, and eventually would propel him to the office of mayor. So how did a guy who was known and admired for being frank and honest about his faults end up manipulating poor people into fighting on national TV while telling them that they should be ashamed of themselves?
Well, after he ran for governor of Ohio and lost, he decided to take his talents to TV, where he immediately became famous for his brilliant editorials on the evening news. While other news anchors just read the teleprompter, Springer became the most popular anchor in Cincinnati by making witty speeches that represented an actual opinion. And so he launched his own nationally syndicated TV show. It was a journalistically responsible platform where real people talked about real problems. In yet another industry famous for dishonesty and mailing it in, Springer stood out as a hardworking man of integrity.
His bouncers got very little work.
The problem was that nobody gave much of a shit about any of that hardworking integri-junk he was always going on about. And so in 1994, with his show facing cancellation, having lived a good life and succeeded in a number of public service careers, Springer decided that maybe, just this once, he would listen to his producers and take the show in a different direction. And so he hired a guy from The Weekly World News (the magazine that made the Bat Boy famous) and let his standards drop just a little bit. When the public loved this standard-dropping, he let his standards drop a little more. And pretty soon the show was a huge success, and Jerry Springer was basically the most transparently terrible person on TV.
It's worth noting that, had RFK not been gunned down, Springer was in a great position to be a major political player. Instead, his career did a reverse Reagan and he now lords over a show that he once described as "stupid human tricks" before going on to clarify: "It's all stupid. We're all idiots. It's bubble gum" and swearing up and down that he himself has never watched it. So for all the awful things you can say about Springer, at least he's still honest enough to hate himself.
#2. The Big Dumb Linemen: The Smartest Guys on the Field
Everyone knows that the quarterback is the smartest guy on the football field. He has to keep track of thousands of plays and adapt to defenses on the fly. Great quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are constantly described as field generals for a reason. They're the strategists on the field, orchestrating attacks and moving the other players around like pieces on a homoerotic chessboard.
Jeff Gross / Getty
This man is the Eisenhower of throwing leather balls across carefully manicured fields.
If you had to pick the second-smartest player on the field, you'd be hard-pressed. Maybe you'd guess the linebacker, or whoever calls the shots on the defense, or the punter, because you're a racist. But really, football players who aren't the quarterback don't need to do a lot of thinking. The ogres up front, mashing into one another like an obese demolition derby, would appear to be at the bottom of the intelligence totem pole. How many decisions could they possibly have to make? They barely go anywhere. It's just size against size. They're basically fat for a living.
When they're depicted in movies, they tend to be just as dumb as they look. In Varsity Blues, the offensive lineman Billy Bob can't tell the difference between a pig and a dog.
He's got his name written on that truck door so he'll remember it.
The Truth:
If you're a fan of the NFL, you know that before each draft, prospects have to take an IQ-style intelligence test called the Wonderlic. You know this because the quarterbacks' scores get parsed like they're applying to Harvard. What rarely gets mentioned is that their scores are on average lower than those of the fat guys whose job it is to throw their bodies in front of them like the Secret Service taking a bullet for the president (if people shot at the president with bullets the size of human trucks).
According to NFL writer Paul Zimmerman, "Annually, offensive linemen average a higher score on the 12-minute, 50-question quiz administered at the NFL scouting combine than players at other positions do." That's right: The fat-for-a-living offensive linemen are the smartest guys on the field.
Ronald C. Modra / Getty
"Did you think these were the dreadlocks of a fool?"
They have to be because they have the hardest job. The entire defense focuses its attack through the line, which means there are dozens of guys on the other end being coached by a guy with an aerial view of the field, all aimed at outsmarting them. They're both the frontlines of the battlefield and its intelligence officers. All you have to do is catch one lineman by surprise, and the quarterback's the victim of vehicular homicide. The offensive linemen have to figure out exactly what the defense is going to do in real time while staring up at some dude's crotch.
As one NFL general manager put it, "They have to adjust to so many different fronts. They have to understand blitz concepts." That apparently requires pattern recognition and the ability to think and communicate with one another with the efficiency and speed of a beehive. And they have to do it all while frozen with their asses in the air, and then while five to nine of the world's fastest, strongest sentient animals fly at them in complex patterns.
David Welker
It's one of the rare situations where it doesn't pay to be sane or stupid.
An entire army's worth of alpha males are paid millions of dollars a year to outsmart them, and they only have their fellow linemen, their minds and, yes, an ample helping of fat-marbled humanity under their pads. All to protect the pretty boy who gets to date supermodels.
#1. Michael Bay: Secret Auteur
Larry Marano / Getty
Michael Bay has long been held up as the mascot and spiritual leader of the dumbing down of American popular culture. Internet commenters hate Bay with the depth and ferocity of three-and-a-half William Wallaces.
Mr. Bay inside his home, a perpetual explosion.
He can make Transformers movies that rape their childhoods, but he will never take away our freedom to call his movies "soul cancer" or make statements like "Michael Bay is an AWFUL director, who's [sic] name should NEVER be brought up when speaking of TRUE cinema."
When he's not filling movie theaters with his trademark just-way-too-many explosions, Bay is known for casting underwear models instead of actresses, treating the top four buttons on his shirt like sarcastic suggestions and generally being the sort of middle-aged child who rarely exists outside of the second act of body-switching comedies.
United States Air Force / Getty
"Can you Army just a little harder?"
The Truth:
If you think that Michael Bay movies suck, I'm not going to convince you otherwise (mostly because I agree with you about every one of his movies in which Nicolas Cage doesn't save the world). But it's at least worth noting that many professional filmmakers and film theorists don't agree with us. For instance, James Cameron, the most successful action director of all time, admits to having "studied his films and 'reverse-engineered' his shooting style." Apparently those rapid cuts from one angle to another that are the hallmark of Bay's "lazy" filmmaking style are technically way more difficult to pull off than ... well, not doing that.
The quotes about him being an AWFUL director and a soul carcinogen are from the comment section of an essay in which a respected film theorist claims that "Armageddon is a work of art by a cutting-edge artist who is a master of movement, light, color and shape." The essay was written years after the release of the movie, when Bay's second and third films were released as part of the Criterion Collection, a series of collector's edition DVDs curated by serious film scholars for fans of challenging art movies.
Where we see a car crash of colors and noise being filmed by an unskilled dumbass pointing his camera at whatever is exploding the loudest, some surprisingly great filmmakers and serious film scholars see an idiot savant. We ridicule his one dimensional characters, but film theorist Jeanine Basinger thinks we're missing the point, claiming that Bay's films are supposed to create "a kind of abstraction and unreality that is found in musicals." While we might see his constant cuts as an assault on our short attention spans, Basinger believes that his rapid cutting is the closest thing to abstract expressionism in modern Hollywood films.
In fact, you can make a shockingly strong case for Bay as auteur. For instance, it was long assumed that the plot for Armageddon was sketched out by Hollywood producers while doing cocaine and exploding LEGO cities with fireworks. In fact, it was Bay's vision from beginning to end. He came up with the idea while attending Wesleyan University (one of the best, and most liberal and artsy liberal arts colleges in America). He was taking "a geology course with this tectonic expert" who said, "Calamities happen; it's the plumbers who will fix the world." Bay loved the idea that the blue-collar workers would be forced to save the day if the world ever faced a geological disaster. He just changed the plumbers to oil-rig workers, put them on a giant rock hurtling toward Earth and added the line "Talk about the wrong stuff" because he's a bit of an idiot.
That also explains the whole "minigun on a space mining vehicle" thing.
Just a few years out of college, Bay was already considered one of the best visual storytellers working in the world of TV commercials. He created the first "Got Milk?" ad, and won the two most prestigious awards in the advertising portion of the Cannes Film Festival. And that was all in his first year as a professional director.
Once he made the jump to feature films, he was immediately unpopular with critics and people like me. The Rock is the only of his movies that is rated over 50 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. His most poorly reviewed film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (21 percent), is also his most successful at the box office. And according to a bunch of people who take film a lot more seriously than I do, it's because modern art isn't for everybody.

The graves found at the Gaillard Auditorium construction site may be older than previously thought.
Charleston Mayor Joe Riley said Friday it appears the 27 burial pits could date to the 1720s or 1730s, making them part of the earliest settlement times of colonial Charleston.
The discovery shows "we continue to learn" about Charleston's history in unexpected ways, he said.
Based on where the graves were in relation to the 1700s center of town, Riley said the location was probably considered to be an isolated part of the settlement, or in the heavily wooded "outback."
Riley's comments came as the city announced the excavation and removal of remains will begin early next week. The move is widely seen as the first step toward determining who is buried there.
In the meantime, work is continuing at the $142 million Gaillard make-over, but in areas not affected by the dig. Riley said the graves removal, which is expected to take about two weeks, won't greatly delay the timetable or increase the cost.
The discovery of the 27 sites came last week after workers were digging a trench toward Anson Street and unearthed a human skull. After a rain delay, the excavation resumed this week.
Lead archaeologist Eric Poplin said Friday he still believes the graves were part of a previously unidentified cemetery that either was forgotten or intentionally covered over as the city's neighborhoods and streetscape grew.
Based on the pattern of the graves — in two mostly even rows — Poplin also believes the site was used by residents over a long period, not during a single interment that might be indicative of an epidemic.
"To me, (the rows) imply it was in use over time," said Poplin, of Brockington Cultural Resources Consulting in Mount Pleasant.
So far none of the grave sites have been intentionally opened up. Some skeletal material near the surface has been exposed, but accidentally. A decayed nail, probably used to fasten a coffin, was also found.
Poplin and other workers uncovered most of the graves after opening a trench measuring about 70 feet long next to Anson Street. The graves, easily identified as rectangular brown and purple stains, were about 10 feet down under what previously was an asphalt lot.
Most of the work at the site slowed down Friday as Poplin used a surveying tool to map global positioning coordinates.
When the remains are removed, researchers hope to find out more about who they were and what may have killed them. Bones can tell sex and race, and also what diseases may have been present at the time.
No more graves beyond the 27 uncovered so far are expected. The remains are likely to be reinterred in a recognized cemetery.

Choosing the right supplier
For you to offer high quality products or services, choosing the right supplier is a key step in your supply chain management. Smart choices will allow the process to flow smoothly and ensure that your customers get what they want, when they want it.
Before you can assess any potential suppliers, it is a good idea to fine-tune your requirements. Optimal suppliers should be able to tailor their offerings to your needs — not the other way around.
The lowest price may seem attractive, but quality, service, reliability and delivery time are also important factors. Your goal is to do business with commercially viable suppliers. If their prices are too low, they might not be around long enough to serve you.
It makes sense to cultivate more than one supplier relationship and build a reliable network, so that you do not run into problems if one of them has a setback. You may draw on a variety of sources to build your base:
- Personal recommendations from your contacts
- Supplier directories and government databases
- Industry associations and publications
- Chambers of commerce and other networking groups
- Trade fairs
The time and effort you put into the search is an investment towards developing fruitful professional relationships that can pay off for your business. You may wish to consider the following steps when starting the process:
- Make a shortlist based on your research.
- Interview potential suppliers; compare what they have to offer.
- See their businesses in action; do not hesitate to ask questions.
- Negotiate terms to draw up a contract.
- Develop relationships and review performances periodically.
Here are some questions that might help with your choices:
- Do your potential suppliers understand your industry and your customers?
- Do they use subcontractors? If so, you may want to investigate them as well.
- Are their values in line with yours? Are their practices ethical and/or eco-friendly?
Once you choose your suppliers, the next step is the on-going process of relationship building. You never know when you may need to rely on them to help out under unusual circumstances.
For more resources, check out our section on Finding and managing suppliers.

The Randolph County Board of Education classified three schools as "noted for closure" in its comprehensive educational facilities plan Monday.
Assistant Superintendent of Schools Terry George said changes had to be made to the 10-year plan as a result of the proposed bond call failing in the Nov. 6 general election.
Homestead Elementary, Harman and Coalton Elementary schools were all listed as "potential closure" schools, George said during a short presentation to the board about the adjustments to the CEFP.
The number one priority on the list had been the recently completed revisions at Third Ward Elementary, and the community schools were slated next for work. The recent bond call that was defeated sought $13.5 million for improvements at Tygarts Valley High/Middle, Harman School, Beverly Elementary, Coalton, Beverly Elementary and Elkins High School.
"The revision is a result of the bond failing," George said. "We had to revise our priorities."
George said projects at TVH/MS have now taken over as the second and third priority on the list with work at Elkins High School coming in fourth. George said that the updated CEFP will be submitted to the West Virginia School Building for approval on Nov. 26.
"This is just a revision of the plan we already submitted," George said. "This is not an official vote to close the schools."
The board unanimously voted to approve the changes to the CEFP.

Users of Memorial Park have lost their pool and now they are temporarily unable to play hoops at the basketball court.
By order of Mayor Gabriel J. Campana, the basketball rims at the park on West Fourth Street near Bowman Field will be removed for two weeks and not replaced until July 1.
Such punishment - for all who enjoy shooting hoops - is because of a few bad apples.
"Citizens must be responsible for their behavior," he said. "As a city, we cannot reward bad behavior."
For weeks, Campana claims the city has endured a chronic problem. The Streets and Parks Department has found drug paraphernalia, broken glass, cigarette butts and garbage in the areas surrounding the courts.
Staff has to clean up the mess, he said, and Campana also said he's received complaints about "unruly behavior" by those using the courts.
An inspection Saturday revealed the worst. "I was appalled by the condition of the site," Campana said. "Children using the playground equipment nearby should not be exposed to disrespectful behavior toward city property nor small children.
"A lesson will be taught as a father and mother teaches their children," Campana said of the temporary removal of the rims. "If the behavior improves, the courts will remain," he said, promising further action if conditions don't improve. "If not, I will consider removing the basketball rims permanently. We cannot enable bad behavior."
Meanwhile, those who seek a swim in a community pool will have to travel to Shaw Place Park's East End Pool, the only pool to remain open in the city because of budget issues.
Memorial Park is one of the three city parks under surveillance by cameras that were recently installed.
The cameras, four at the park, three at Roy A. Flanigan Park on Little League Boulevard and three at Newberry Park are designed as tools for law enforcement use, according to city Police Chief Gregory Foresman.
The video is kept at the police station for seven days, unless determined to be part of an investigation, he said.
"We hope this makes a big difference in the parks, and hopefully throughout the city down the road," Foresman said.

Miracle Blanket - Part 4
Little M sleeps through the night! She sleeps for 8-9 hours at a stretch and I am no longer the sleep deprived, semi-deranged person that I once was! Hallelujah!!
I've received a few emails inquiring about what the Miracle Blanket looks like and where it can be purchased. So here's a picture of M getting ready to sleep in her Miracle Blanket, which has truly been a miracle for me! I purchased the blanket online at www.miracleblanket.com. It's a bit pricey considering that it's just a long piece of cloth with some flaps but it's totally worth it!
Here are links to my previous posts about the Miracle Blanket - Parts 1, 2 and 3.

Vani...your baby is very cute! Looks very snuggly in her blanket!
Thanks for teh comment on my site about the Alu burgers. It was my first try! I am still learning how to cook Indian food. I have been to India once, and have lots of friends from Karnataka and Andra Pradesh (can you tell me husband is in the tech industry!?)
I did not make the parathas by myself, we buy the frozen ones that you grill. One day I will learn how to make those!

Hi Vani!!!
Ur daughter looks cute.How old is she? I have heard about the miracle blanket in my childbirth classes but never put further thought into buying one..but now I think I should get one...

Hi Vani..
I have one question for you..How long can the miracle blanket be used for the baby?ONce the baby grows should I buy a bigger size one?

- Vani said...
Asha- yup, will gladly do anything to make my life simpler! Reg costume for M- someone gifted a cute baby duck coverall at my baby shower that han't been used yet. Am thinking of finally making use of it tomorrow! Will post a pic of my little duckie if I do. How about your kids?
Deana- thanks for stopping by! I never make parathas either. Indian grocery stores have so many different types of rotis and it is so convenient. I think it's really cool that you're adventurous with food and are trying Indian recipes! :-)
Nee-thanks! I think so too! :-)

- Vani said...
Mantu-thanks for visiting my blog! Do let me know if you like the movie.
BDSN- My baby is now 3 months old. Miracle Blanket does really help. But for the fist 4-6 weeks, I suggest that u use a regular blanket to swaddle the baby. Miracle blanket comes in only one size. They suggest not to use for more than 8 hours in a day and that it easily could be used for upto 4 months. My neighbor Rebbeca (who recommended this to me) said that her pediatrician told her that as long as the baby feels comfortable, she can use it for longer time.
What's your due date? Congrats, again!!

When shopping for Lamar Odom, the Kardashians can cross one popular holiday gift choice off their lists – electronics.
"Kourtney asked, 'Would Lamar like an iPad mini for Christmas?'" I said, 'Absolutely not!' He would have no idea what to do with," Khloé Kardashian told reporters Thursday after The X Factor. "He'd be, like, 'I can't write on this thing.'"
Despite his technological ineptitude, Odom does brave Skype to stay connected with his wife while playing away games with the Los Angeles Clippers.
"I have to walk him through it on the phone and it takes forever," Kardashian joked of getting her husband to use video chatting service. "He's just not a very big electronics person."
Staying connected is key for the couple, who celebrated their third wedding anniversary in September.
"We are very spiritual and we say our prayers with each other every night. He will lead the prayers and it is so sweet," Kardashian said. "Sometimes his plane will land in the next city [at 4 a.m.] and he will still call me and we say our prayers. If I'm asleep and don't answer he will text me a prayer. It keeps us together."

Julia is a dynamic language in the tradition of Lisp, Perl, Python and Ruby. It aims to advance expressiveness and convenience for scientific and technical computing beyond that of environments like Matlab and NumPy, while simultaneously closing the performance gap with compiled languages like C, C++, Fortran and Java.
Most high-performance dynamic language implementations have taken an existing interpreted language and worked to accelerate its execution. In creating Julia, we have reconsidered the basic language design, taking into account the capabilities of modern JIT compilers and the specific needs of technical computing. Our design includes:
Julia feels light and natural for data exploration and algorithm prototyping, but has performance that lets you deploy your prototypes.
Oops, something didn't work.
Excellent! Will we get some Julia-on-Windows-demo love?
We've got an experimental Win32 port of Julia, so, yes, it's entirely possible :-). A million thanks to Keno Fischer for putting in all the hard work to port Julia to Win32. His work has been amazing — the port wouldn't have happened without it.
The first Windows build is available here:
Here is my IMHO (only IMHO:)
you did one design error - repeat this kind of error as Python: all functions like eye(), ones(), zeros() and many-many other (from Matlab) should be available only from import module (in isolated namespace/module). There were many builtins functions in Python like thees, and after all GvR removed them into its' own modules (except very general of them).
Language is very interesting, but one question: is Julia only for mathematic or for any, common tasks (GUI, database, Web, sockets, etc.) - what are the plans for Julia?
All right! Thanks Stefan and Viral!
(and most importantly Keno!)

Actress Kate Hudson and her husband, Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, are splitting, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
The You, Me and Dupree star's rep, Brad Cafarelli, confirms that the couple are separating after nearly six years of marriage.
Hudson, 27, and Robinson, 39, wed on New Year's Eve 2000 after dating for about a year. Their son, Ryder Russell, was born Jan. 7, 2004.
The pair first clicked at a party in New York City in May 2000, and moved in together just days later. "When I met Chris, everything just seemed to become very clear," Hudson said in 2003. Three months after they met, Robinson presented Hudson with a diamond ring her rep called "a commitment to their relationship."
They were married by an Ute Indian shaman on Dec. 31, 2000, at the Old Snowmass, Colo., home of Hudson's mother, Goldie Hawn, and her longtime partner, Kurt Russell. (Hudson's father, singer-comedian Bill Hudson, did not attend.) After that, the two were seldom apart for long.
"We try to, as much as we can, schedule our working life around each other," Hudson told PEOPLE in 2002, adding that she hoped their future would bring "millions of babies."
"I'm in such a better place as a husband, as a part of a family and a musician," said Robinson, who wrote the song "Katie Dear" on his 2002 solo album, New Earth Mud, about his wife: "Watch her sleeping/With dreams in her mind/Her heart is beating/In perfect time with mine."
Still, Hudson admitted to PEOPLE in 2003, "In the beginning we were so volatile. We were so in love and passionate, and then we would just hate each other and throw stuff around, and then we would travel to Paris for a week."
After Ryder was born in 2004, Hudson told PEOPLE of her relationship with Robinson, "We're sharing something so gigantic now. I think it's the best we've ever felt being together."
But rumors of marital discord surfaced the same year – and were quickly shot down. "They are very happy," a family friend told PEOPLE in August. "They are not going anywhere. When you are true friends with your mate, (your relationship) will withstand everything."
Just last month, it seemed all was well with the couple. Asked if the laid-back Robinson had any pet peeves about her, Hudson told PEOPLE, "I can sip on the same cold cup of coffee all day long. It just drives him nuts. My mom actually does the same thing and it drives Kurt nuts too."
It was the first marriage for Hudson; Robinson was previously wed to Lala Sloatman.

Making sense of state aid for schools is like touching air.
You can't see it, but you know it's there. And if there isn't enough of it, you're in trouble.
"It's complicated, but it isn't," is how one superintendent described the varying amounts of state aid to local districts.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo released his third state budget last week, and it recommends $21.08 billion in money for education in the 2013-14 school year.
That's 4.4 percent more than schools got for this year.
But that doesn't mean every school district is in line for a 4.4 percent increase in aid.
One local district would get nearly 9 percent more in aid, while three others combined would receive nearly $1 million less than this year.
There are different reasons why some districts seem to be getting large increases, while others would remain stable or get less.
Some types of state aid are distributed by formulas, often depending on the need of the district and its students.
Other state aid is a reimbursement that depends on how much districts spent the previous year.
And sometimes the numbers are wrong.
Some examples of the varying amounts of aid in the governor's budget:
• Sloan goes up 8.72 percent. Sloan would receive $520,911 extra from a pot of money for districts with low wealth and high property taxes.
• East Aurora goes down 4.37 percent. East Aurora would not receive the $369,000 it got this year for instituting full-day kindergarten.
• Cleveland Hill goes up just 0.43 percent. Cleveland Hill's BOCES reimbursement is down nearly $700,000, and that's about how much the district was reimbursed this year for a large investment in technology.
The governor divides the $889 million in increased state aid to schools into three categories.
Overall aid would go up 3 percent.
The rest of the increase comes in the form of a $203 million fiscal stabilization fund and $75 million for education reform initiatives, some of which would be competitive grants.
Money in the financial stabilization fund has not been allocated, said Robert N. Lowry Jr., deputy director of the New York State Council of School Superintendents. And it appears the State Legislature will debate how to allocate that fund, he said.
"Legislators don't want to go back to their voters and say 'you got less than what the governor proposed,' " he said. "Most districts will take [the governor's proposal] as the absolute minimum they're likely to get."
School aid "runs," – the list of aid broken down for each school district for this year compared with what is proposed for next year – have 42 lines for each district. It is those figures that business managers, treasurers and superintendents pore over to interpret for school boards and the public. The description of the recommended aid is 64 pages long.
After the runs came out late Tuesday afternoon, Iroquois Superintendent Douglas Scofield went home happy, when he saw his district would be getting 6 percent more in aid.
"I was all excited. I was happy. Yes, the governor did something," he recalled.
But the next morning he examined each line and realized this year's BOCES reimbursement was listed at $409,000 lower than it should have been, making next year's BOCES allotment seem like a huge increase.
"As I analyzed it, I said, 'oh my,' " he said. "I pulled it up and started to cry."
The 6 percent increase would actually translate to about a 1.8 percent increase.
Scofield said the district submitted its estimate of what it would spend in BOCES this year the day it was due, but it must have been several hours after the numbers were run through the formula. He's confident it will be caught by the state on the next run in February.
The aid numbers are fluid, since much is based on reimbursements. Districts give the state an estimation of what they will spend, but it's not known until the end of the school year how much a district actually spends.
Sloan Acting Superintendent Andrea Galenski, putting together her first district budget, has extra money under Cuomo's plan. State aid is projected to increase by 8.72 percent.
This is the first time the district has received money on the "High Tax Aid" line, which is designed to help lower-wealth districts that have high taxes. But because districts have been burned before, she is skeptical.
"When you go from zero to half a million, you want to check and make sure it's accurate," she said. "If this is accurate, it certainly is a nice increase."
But she said it's not enough to erase a budget gap.
After the governor decides how much money to allot to education, it's up to the formulas to distribute the money.
Aid in some categories, like BOCES, transportation and special education, depends on what was spent the previous year. Districts get a percentage back the following year, based on what they spent and the wealth in the district.
Wealthier districts would get a smaller reimbursement.
Most formulas have remained stable.
"If a district goes up or down, it's because of change in the data," said Lowry of the council of school superintendents.
Then there is the "less is more" line for the gap elimination adjustment, or GEA. That is money the state deducted from districts to fill its budget gap. Things are looking a little better, and the governor has added a line, GEA Restoration, which ends up reducing the gap elimination adjustment. The lower the gap elimination adjustment, the better.
If it's confusing to the general public, it can be confusing to school district officials, too.
Lewiston-Porter Superintendent Chris Roser said it "stands to reason" that the district would get less aid on the High Tax Aid line, but the district also appears to be losing more than $150,000 on the BOCES and transportation lines.
"We're befuddled at that as well. Aid is expense-driven. Our expenses have not differed in those areas," he said.
He said Lewiston-Porter has held the line on its budget, with the tax levy going up a total of 2 percent over five years, and expenses are up only $45,000 over the same period. It has an eight-year contract with teachers.
"We've done everything that the governor said we should be doing," Roser said. "We've done our part. The only revenue a school district gets is, quite frankly, through taxes. There is no other pot of money out there."

, updated February 20, 2013 at 7:15 AM
During my Mexican-food-obsessed youth, my favorite dessert was flan, the Latin American version of crème caramel: smooth, eggy custard enveloped in browned sugar syrup. That was until I tried crème brûlée, which is nearly identical to crème caramel, with one crucial difference: Instead of being melted into syrup, the sugar is sprinkled on top of the custard and burnt to a crisp. (The name literally means "burned cream.")
Both desserts combine a bland but very rich custard with some cloying variation on pure sugar. Custard and sugar, by themselves, are boring; together, they make a well-balanced dessert (in terms of flavor, not nutrition, obviously). But unlike crème caramel, crème brûlée provides an irresistible textural contrast between silky custard and crunchy sugar.
What's more, the charred flavors that burning creates add a soupcon of dark sophistication utterly lacking in crème caramel. And though it requires only ingredients you probably already have in your fridge, it is 1) insanely easy to make; 2) pretty much impossible to screw up (I mean, you're supposed to burn it); and 3) virtually guaranteed to garner admiration.
The most challenging part of making crème brûlée is putting the custard in the oven to bake. I'm not being entirely facetious – it's actually a little tricky. You must cook the custard in a water bath; surrounding the ramekins with hot water keeps the custard moist and prevents it from breaking into a lumpy, curdled mess. Assemble it on top of your oven, or on a nearby countertop, so you don't have to carry it far and risk spilling the custard mixture, or the boiling water, or both.
Once steamed in the water bath, the custard will taste as smooth and velvety but appear quite homely, its surface covered with pockmarks. The burned sugar layer takes care of this, and using the right amount of sugar is crucial. It should coat the entire surface of each custard – no yellow should peek through – but it should not be so thick that it mounds on top of the custard. If there's too little sugar, it won't melt into a solid crust, but if there's too much it will overwhelm the custard with its burnt flavor. (Use only granulated sugar to top crème brûlée; other sugars will never achieve the sheen and crisp texture you're going for.) As for technique, broiling in the oven is the most pragmatic option. Keep a close eye on the ramekins and consider rotating them once or twice to help the sugar caramelize evenly.
Vanilla is the only flavor traditionally added to crème brûlée. You can add a split vanilla bean to your saucepan of cream, steep it for 10 minutes and then discard the pod, but I like vanilla extract just fine – supplemented with a glug of Grand Marnier.
Crème Brûlée
Yield: 4 servings
Time: 3 hours, almost entirely unattended
2 cups heavy cream
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 8 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Heat the oven to 300 degrees, and bring a kettle of water to a boil. Put four 8-ounce ramekins in a 9-by-13-inch pan.
Put the cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and cook until it begins to steam, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl and whisk until the mixture is pale yellow and silky, about 1 minute. Whisk in the Grand Marnier and vanilla.
Gradually add the hot cream to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the custard mixture into the ramekins. Add enough boiling water to the 9-by-13-inch pan to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins, then cover the pan with foil and transfer it carefully to the oven. Bake until the custard no longer appears liquid in the center, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the pan and cool for at least 1 hour at room temperature, then cover each ramekin with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to a few days.
Heat the broiler. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar over the top of each custard and broil until the sugar is melted and deeply browned, 3 to 5 minutes. (Or, you can caramelize the sugar with a culinary blowtorch.) Serve.

A "top-secret" commercial film project is the reason that drivers won't be able to use the Skyway for four hours Tuesday.
And those with knowledge of the project won't say exactly why helicopters may be flying at low altitudes to film the downtown area from overhead the same day.
Watch live: Video feed of Skyway film project between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tuesday
The state Department of Transportation announced Friday that the Skyway will be closed to all traffic in both directions between the Niagara Thruway and Ohio Street between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tuesday because of a "filming event." Not many other details were available, even from Tim Clark, the head of the Buffalo Niagara Film Commission.
"I've signed all sorts of nondisclosure agreements," Clark said.
But a source with inside knowledge of the project hinted that the project is for a widely known television show on a major network, though not one of the "Big Three" – ABC, CBS or NBC.
The actors and actresses involved in the shoot may be recognizable to some, but they aren't necessarily household names, the source added.
The filming will take place on the raised portion of the Skyway, so the only people who might be able to learn of the proceedings would be those on the upper floors of surrounding buildings.
The shoot is the latest in a series of film projects that have used Western New York as a backdrop to the action on screen.
On June 27, Academy Award winners Kathy Bates and Susan Sarandon filmed a closing scene for "Tammy," an upcoming road comedy, at the observation deck at Niagara Falls State Park. Actress Melissa McCarthy was also in the scene.
"Tammy" stars McCarthy as a woman who embarks on a road trip after losing her job and discovering that her husband has cheated on her. She's accompanied by her hard-drinking grandmother, played by Sarandon.
Dan Aykroyd and Allison Janney round out the cast, and the shoot in Niagara Falls included local actors and crew members.
Parts of another major motion picture were shot at Ralph Wilson Stadium in May. Extras were paid $120 per day to contribute to "The Best Man Holiday," a Universal Pictures sequel to 1999's "The Best Man."
Terrence Howard, Harold Perrineau, Regina Hall and Taye Diggs star in the movie, a comedy, and the director is Malcolm D. Lee, a cousin of Spike Lee.
Local lawmakers have recently proposed legislation to increase tax credits that would make it easier for film crews to finance bringing talent and equipment to Western New York from New York City.
Clark said Western New Yorkers may have to get used to seeing camera crews and street closures in the area.
"Buffalo seems to be seen as a site for filmmakers and producers to shoot in," Clark said. "I think we have such a vast inventory of architectural assets and a great-looking community that hasn't really been seen a lot."
He added that the film projects are good for the local economy and the city's national image.
