1. Upgrade routers and wireless network adapters to (interim) 802.11n. Ever since January 2004, when the IEEE announced that it had formed a task group to develop a new flavor of the 802.11 standard for wireless local-area networks -- 802.11n -- customers have been demanding to buy the new hardware. Why? Even though the standard is not due for final approval until July 2007, it promises to deliver far greater range and throughput -- up to 50 times greater than b-standard, and 10 times greater than the a- or g-standard. Of course all interim n implementations are backward-compatible with some or all of the current flavors of 802.11 -- but if you introduce an a-, b- or g-standard client into an n-standard network, your hot new n-standard router will slow down. So upgrade wireless adapters and routers at the same time.

2. Move the router off the floor and keep it as far as possible from walls and metal objects. As we mentioned earlier, metal, walls and floors wreak havoc with your router's wireless signal. The more of these obstacles your router needs to punch through to reach your notebook, the worse the interference, and the slower your connection will be.

3. Place your router (or access point) in a central location in the office. If your wireless router is at one end of the office (or your home), the signal will have farther to go to reach the other end. Using a central spot splits the difference.

4. Upgrade your router's antenna. Most routers come with an omni-directional antenna --meaning that it broadcasts and receives in all directions with equal efficiency. If you don't know where your receiving notebooks will be, or if they are indeed scattered in a random 360-degree pattern, omni-directional is fine. However, if (as is most often the case) your router is near an outside wall, with most of the network computers in a 180-degree pattern in one direction only (that is, toward the opposite outside wall), you are wasting half of the router's signal. If you upgrade to a hi-gain directional antenna that focuses the wireless signals in only one direction, you can maximize the efficiency of the system by aiming the signal in the direction you need it.

5. Upgrade the antenna for your notebook’s wireless network adapter. Wireless network signals must be received and sent reliably by your remote computer. Sometimes, even if your router is broadcasting effectively, your computer can't send a strong signal back. Most notebook wireless adapters use an omni-directional antenna. You can improve reception considerably by replacing your laptop's PC card-based wireless network adapter with a high-gain, low-cost, range-boosting adapter with an external antenna.

6. Check your wireless channel, and change it if necessary. Wireless routers use one of 11 possible channels to broadcast. If another wireless network nearby happens to be broadcasting on the same channel your router is using, both networks will experience severe loss of range and power. You can use the wireless software on your notebook to find out how many wireless networks are active in the area, and which channels each is using. If you discover that another network is using the same channel as your router, log into the router via your browser and use its built-in configuration screen to select an unused channel. Chances are your signal strength will improve significantly. (You don't need to adjust your notebook; it's designed to automatically detect the network's new channel.)

7. Invest in a wireless repeater. Or two. Wireless repeaters (or access points) extend your wireless network's range with no need to install additional wiring. Just buy one or more wireless APs, place them roughly halfway between your previous wireless access point and your computer, and power them on. Voila! You now have an instant boost to your wireless signal strength. There are many affordable wireless repeaters on the market; all the major vendors make them. If you buy one like Apple's Airport you can even use it to stream wireless music to your stereo at the same time you're extending your wireless range.

8. Update your router's firmware and your network adapter's drivers. Hardware vendors are always upgrading and improving their wireless equipment to increase range and performance -- and most of those upgrades are free. Check for new firmware updates at your router manufacturer's Web site, as well as the site of your wireless adapter card. Microsoft also updates the drivers that Windows uses to communicate with your network adapter. To get those updates, visit Microsoft Update and click "Hardware, Optional."

9. Reduce wireless interference. Cordless phones, microwave ovens, and other wireless electronics in your home or office can interfere with your wireless network. To improve reception, look for cordless phones and other electronics that use the 5.8 GHz or 900 MHz frequencies. They won't interfere.

10. Use equipment from a single vendor. While every router will work pretty well with every network adapter (assuming their respective flavors of 802.11 are compatible), you will often get better performance if you match a router and network adapter from the same vendor. Some vendors like Linksys offer a boost of up to twice the performance when you use their hardware exclusively.

The Caliber of Sex-Ed Instruction in Public Schools
The Delivery of the Message

The public controversy centered around sex education in public schools has shifted. Where the question was once whether or not sexual education should be taught in public schools, the fray now questions the methodology of what is being taught. The division exist between advocates of an "abstinence only" approach (supported by the "No Child Left Behind Act") versus the more traditional sexuality programs that include the correct usage and protective qualities of contraceptives. Many parents however, find themselves more concerned about the environment their children find themselves exposed to when sex-education classes are being taught.
In many schools across the country, these classes are gender exclusive, however teachers can quickly find themselves out of control when facing a room full of adolescent students. With classes full of immature children titillated by the subject matter, giggles, whoops and hollers echo into the halls as middle school children are exposed to the deadly serious aspect of approaching their sexual development responsibly. Their teachers constantly struggling to keep the children focused on the gravity of what is being discussed. Consequently, because of the loose and casual atmosphere of sex ed classrooms, thousands of parents question the validity and the effectiveness of sex-education being delivered in public education. If the message can't be delivered responsibly then should it be delivered at all?
The sexual education of adolescent children is presented to parents as a necessary and legitimate course of study. Shouldn't the demeanor of the class and the accountability regarding the subject material be just as serious and in depth as any other class centered around health and science? Why is such a serious subject encapsulated within a few days? Many parents feel that sex education programs in public schools today amount to no more than a 3 day sex talk complete with giggles, immature commentary, and very little real instruction taking place rather than being approached in a true academic manner.
Taught properly, sexual education and development could easily become part of any other scientific course of study like Human Biology, Human Behavior, Human Anatomy or Health. More importantly, perhaps if administrators present a more dignified and academic approach to the delivery of sexual education, complete with test and grades, it may just impress upon our children that they should view sex a serious part of their human development rather than a recreational activity.
I Village.com: Sex education that delays sexual activity (excerpt) A new and more effective sex education program called A PAUSE (Added Power and Understanding in Sex Education) takes a different approach. Based on extensive research at Exeter University’s Department of Child Health, it doesn’t just focus on the physical aspects of sex, but also addresses the emotional side. So far, around 100 schools have enrolled in this ground-breaking programme.
Family Education.com: Is It Enough to "Just Say No": (excerpt) Does sex education belong in public schools? Yes, say 90 percent of parents around the country. But that doesn't indicate parental consensus on what sex education means. Should it be health-and-safety oriented? Informed by moral principles? Focused on contraception or celibacy? School boards everywhere are wrestling with different perspectives on a very touchy subject. This article explores the "abstinence only" approach.
University of California - Center for Aids Prevention Studies: Does Sex Education Work: (excerpt) The question is no longer should sex education be taught, but rather how should it be taught. Over 93% of all public high schools currently offer courses on sexuality or HIV.(1) More than 510 junior or senior high schools have school-linked health clinics, and more than 300 schools make condoms available on campus. The question now is are these programs effective, and if not, how can we make them better?

At our Learning Center at Bay Meadows we get a lot of people who are just starting out in golf. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a new golfer take up the game the correct way…. WITH A LESSON. Having taught golf now for close to 17 years to all ability levels, from professionals to beginners, I can tell you the hardest thing for all golfers to do is to break bad habits. Lessons form good habits from the start.
I personally started golf by picking up a club and firing balls at our local playground, one after the other, without any help from someone who knew the game. Actually, my big brother helped me in my early years, as he was a great athlete (professional hockey). Unfortunately for me, he was a 20-handicap golfer. Even today, I am still trying to “unlearn” his well-intended advice.
Learning golf the correct way means learning the fundamentals of the grip, posture and how far to stand from the ball. As the swing starts, there are only a few things that a new golfer must remember. Simply stated, a golfer needs to create the proper wind-up throughout the backswing and maintain one's posture throughout the swing. If you make a good backswing, it is hard to mess up the downswing. The problem with trying to learn a motor skill like the golf swing on your own is that everyone interprets advice differently. This advice can come in many forms; the most common way people get advice is through tips in magazines. Yet trying to incorporate a golf tip from a magazine into your own swing is probably the single worst thing a new golfer can do.
The old adage, “you get what you pay for,” also holds true in golf. A tip from a $3.00 magazine may cost you hundreds of dollars in lessons down the road.
The best advice I can give is to go to a PGA professional for instruction. The pro will build your swing through sound fundamentals. And most facilities will use high-speed video analysis. Professionals who do not use video support have to rely on the naked eye to detect swing errors, and this is very difficult, considering the average swing moves at close to 90 miles per hour. With video, you get instant visual feedback and can check your progress in real time. Video technology will make learning faster, and the game much more enjoyable.
The last bit of advice for beginning golfers is, when your spouse, friends or children offer counsel, run the other way. Advice like, “keep your head down”, “you’re looking up”, or the most popular, “slow down, you’re swinging too fast” may sound like good information during a stretch of rough holes, but believe me, the cause of the problem happened earlier in the swing than your companions realize. Phil Rodgers, a great tour player in the 60’s, who was my mentor during my years of teaching in Orlando, always said, “99 percent of the problems in a golfers swing happen at setup, the other one percent occurs during the first foot of the backswing”.
“I will never take a lesson”
If you absolutely cannot, or will not, take a golf lesson, there are a few things that you can try with your setup that will help you towards long-term improvement. The first is to check your distance from the ball. Research on the top hundred tour players revealed that they addressed the ball within a small variance from player to player. With a standard length 5-iron (38 inches is standard), the professionals were 23.5 inches from their left toe to the ball, plus or minus .5 inches. Remember, this is only with a standard 5-iron! This setup distance will force your body into the correct posture. You want to feel this same posture for every club in the bag. Next time you hit balls, extend a tape measure to this distance. Typically, our students stand too close to the ball, sometimes by four to five inches. Standing this close significantly limits how your lower body can clear through impact. Most people will compensate with their upper body when the lower body cannot function. Big mistake!
The research with tour players also revealed that the ball position remained constant from club to club. Play the ball just inside the left heel (1-2 inches) for all the irons. With the driver, move the ball to the arch of the left foot. The right foot is the only one you want to adjust as you switch club. A good rule to follow is, with the 5-iron the right foot should be shoulder width, with the 9-iron the right foot should be 2 inches inside the right shoulder, and with the driver the stance should be 2 inches outside the right shoulder. Good ball position at address will help develop the proper weight shift throughout the swing.
“Nothing beats a lesson”
If you feel intimidated or cannot afford a private lesson, get your friends together for a series of group lessons. Taking lessons in a group sometimes is better than private lessons. The person next to you might have the same problem you have. Watching them try to shift their weight a certain way, or get into a certain position, may trigger an image in your game that will help you with your swing.
“Golf is not Easy “
Many professional baseball, hockey, basketball and football players take up golf after they retire. When asked to compare golf with their sport, most professional athletes will agree that golf, by far, offers the most challenges. Its difficulty, and the inability for anyone to master it (except for perhaps, Tiger), are the reasons golf has become the most popular of the recreational sports. Golf is not an easy sport to learn, however, if you are planning to start, do yourself a favor, and get professional help.
