教师怀孕要排队：校长无奈？人文
【内容提要】：“排队怀孕”？普通人乍一听到这种说法，肯定会怀疑自己的耳朵，这怎么可能？怀孕、生孩子完全是个人的隐私，怎么可以在公开的场合由着别人“摆布”，由着别人来发号施令呢？然而，现实的发展却出人意料。笔者用google在互联网上搜索，真是不看不知道，一看吓一跳！居然有大约38，200项的查询结果和“教师排队怀孕”有关！
【案例】教师“排队怀孕”为哪般？
某市一所著名小学，最近几年，每年都有大量新教师分配到学校，年轻教师的到来，给学校增添了不少活力与生机。每天一大早，操场上就出现了他们的身影，小运动员在他们的带领下正精神抖擞地进行训练；每天放学后，从音乐排练厅里总能传出悦耳动听的童声，那是他们正带领百灵鸟合唱组的同学排练准备参加全市歌咏比赛；课间十分钟，他们与孩子一起游戏、玩耍……校园里充满了欢乐。 望着充满活力、激情四射的年轻人，校长脸上露出欣慰的笑容。
小学女教师比例高，年轻化的趋势渐渐地给学校工作带来了一连串的麻烦。这不，暑假过后，上班第一天，教导主任拿着一张请假条一脸沮丧地走进校长室，急匆匆地说道：“糟了，刚才小李老师的丈夫到学校来找你，说准备提前请产假。”眼看明天孩子们就要进校报到了，教导主任能不急吗？刚从教育局回来、一脸疲倦的校长闻此消息立时瞪大眼睛：“是吗？刚才就是因为有家长到教育局告学校对学生不负责任，经常随意调换老师，才把我叫去开会的。又一个要请产假了？这样咱们学校不就有四位老师因生孩子请假休息在家了？”“是啊，刚才在一楼办公室听老师议论，小叶也怀孕了？听说有先兆流产的迹象，正住院保胎呢。”校长说：“你赶紧打电话到小李老师家，让她无论如何要以学校利益为重，无论如何得再坚持工作一段时间。”沉思片刻后，校长神色严肃地望着教导主任：“咱们该想想办法了，要不，这学校无法正常运作了，中午12：30召开行政会议，通知大家准时到。”正说着，楼下传来吵闹声：“我要找你们校长，校长在哪儿？”只见一个中年男子满脸通红，一脸怒气。原来，该班语文老师分娩请假在家，上学期学校费了很大的劲才找来一位退休老师代课，可家长总喜欢把代课老师与原任老师作比较，总觉得这位老师这也不行，那也不对。趁新学期开始，这位家长希望学校能重新调整安排一位好老师来接替。当听说还是原来的代课老师时，他就着急了。眼看马上就要进行满意单位评选了，学校得罪得起家长吗？校长和教导主任花了不少时间仍说服不了家长，望着忿忿离去的家长，校长满脸苦涩地说：“中午12：00召开行政会议，赶紧通知有关人员。”
校长清了清嗓子说：“现在，学校已有四位老师请假生孩子了，照这样下去，要是不注意控制，学校将面临更大的困难。”她接着说：“咱们做事心里得有个谱。现在结婚未育的女教师有7人，还有几位女教师也正考虑婚期。我想，女教师生孩子必须间隔一定的时间。谁什么时候生孩子合适，咱们得给她们排排顺序。”于是校长谈了自己的看法。与会者也想不出更好的措施，更何况共事多年，大家都十分清楚校长的性格，于是大家按照女教师的年龄以及学校教育教学的实际情况，进行了“生育顺序”。
“马上通知有关老师，下午3：00开会。”੩

Changed the way links work
Due to constant spamming on the openlog and the creation of spamblogs on we::blog, I've changed the way links work. All links are now redirected through danchan.com which means linked pages from blogs on we::blog will no longer receive the "google-juice" that spammers are after. By redirecting through danchan.com, I can also filter the links if necessary at a later point in time. As an extra (unnecessary really) precaution, I've also added the rel=nofollow tag in links, Google's suggested way of combatting link spam. I'd like we::blog to be a public space where visitors are respectful of one another. I prefer this kind of solution to more heavy handed ones like banning users and/or by IP. There is no longer any page ranking incentive to link from we::blog. This new linking method is retroactive on all links.
Feel free to email me at dc at danchan DOT com if there are any bugs in the way the links now work or if you have other ideas about how to keep this space free of spam.

The Earthquake in Indien
Efforts to gauge the scope of the disaster swung widely throughout the day as rescue teams struggled to reach the quake's most remote sites of destruction. Pakistan's chief army spokesman, Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, put the death toll at 18,000 in the morning; President Pervez Musharraf put it at 15,000 to 20,000 in the afternoon; Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Sherpao said at least 19,136 people had died; and the information minister for the Pakistani side of the disputed Kashmir region, where the destruction appeared to be gravest, said up to 30,000 had perished in that area alone.
According to General Sultan, at least 45,000 people had been injured, a vast majority on the Pakistani side of Kashmir. The death toll in Kashmir includes an estimated 650 children who were killed in the collapse of three different schools.
The quake was centered in the far-flung villages of the North-West Frontier Province, but it shook houses and high-rises throughout the region.
Estimates of the its magnitude varied from 6.8 to 7.8, with the United States Geological Survey putting the number at 7.7, a major earthquake, near the top of the second-highest category of severity. Its epicenter was roughly 60 miles north of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, where 20 "significant aftershocks" measuring between 5 and 6.2 magnitude were felt throughout the day on Saturday, Dr. Qamar-uz-Zaman Chaudhry, director general of the Meteorological Department in Islamabad, said by telephone on Saturday evening. Officials warned that serious aftershocks could continue for two days.
The earthquake, which sent tremors as far east as New Delhi, the Indian capital, and west to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, was the biggest to strike the country in a century, Dr. Chaudhry said.
The top police official of the North-West Frontier Province, Riffat Pasha, said Saturday evening that the death toll there continued to rise and that relief efforts had been stymied by blocked roads and broken communication channels.
"The situation is very, very bad," he said. "There are bodies lying everywhere. Those who have survived are lying in the open without food, shelter or medicine.
"The situation has been made worse by the rain and hailstorm that followed the earthquake," he continued. "There is no way we can reach out to them."
Private television stations showed images of leveled houses in the Pakistani side of Kashmir. Telephone lines remained down, and roads were blocked because of landslides. Torrential rain on Saturday evening was likely to impede relief efforts.
In the Indian-held section of the disputed Kashmir region, the death toll climbed to more than 240 by Saturday evening, including more than 30 Indian soldiers standing sentry at the disputed frontier. An untold number of houses were flattened, telephone lines and electricity were disrupted, and several roads were blocked by landslides, cutting the Kashmir Valley off from the rest of the country. The quake also destroyed a number of religious shrines, mosques and temples.
The death toll in Pakistan included 200 soldiers in the Pakistani-controlled section of Kashmir, Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Sherpao said in a CNN interview.
In Rawalpindi, a school for girls collapsed, killing one child and injuring six, said Sheik Rashid Ahmed, the information minister.
In eastern Afghanistan, four children were crushed to death and a woman was injured as the mud walls of their homes collapsed. News from remote mountainous areas near the border with Pakistan could take days to reach the provincial capitals.
Islamabad was in panic, and people spilled onto the streets. Traffic jams clogged roads, and residents huddled in groups outside houses, shopping plazas and government buildings. The cellphone network collapsed for at least 90 minutes.
Margalla Towers, an upscale five-tower apartment complex, took the city's biggest hit from the quake. One tower collapsed, and part of another fell. Army and civil authorities reached the site within 30 minutes. Rescue workers estimated that at least 150 people, mostly women and children, were stranded under the rubble of the building.
President Musharraf visited the apartment complex in Islamabad with Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. General Musharraf expressed satisfaction with the rescue operation.
"It is a test for all of us," he said in an interview on state television. "We are sure we will pass this test."

The European decision to back!
The European decision to back the rest of the world in demanding the creation of a new international body to govern the Internet clearly caught the Americans off balance and left them largely isolated at talks designed to come up with a new way of regulating the digital traffic of the 21st century.
"It's a very shocking and profound change of the EU's position," said David Gross, the State Department official in charge of America's international communications policy. "The EU's proposal seems to represent an historic shift in the regulatory approach to the Internet from one that is based on private sector leadership to a government, top-down control of the Internet................"
Delegates meeting in Geneva for the past two weeks had been hoping to reach consensus for a draft document by Friday after two years of debate. The talks on international digital issues, called the World Summit on the Information Society and organized by the United Nations, were scheduled to conclude in November at a meeting in Tunisia. Instead, the talks have deadlocked, with the United States fighting a solitary battle against countries that want to see a global body take over supervision of the Internet.
Die Namen sind einfach nur Informationen, die etwas

"We expected this proposal to move the summit along from the stalemate," Hendon said. "It is unreasonable to leave in the hands of the U.S. the power to decide what happens with the Internet in other countries."
Various groups, including the International Telecommunication Union, a UN agency based in Geneva, have suggested that the U.S. government has too much control over the Internet.
Under the terms of a 1998 memorandum of understanding, Icann was to gain its independence from the Commerce Department by September 2006.
But the Bush administration said in July that the United States would "maintain its historic role in authorizing changes or modifications to the authoritative root zone file." In so doing, the government "intends to preserve the security and stability" of the technical underpinnings of the Internet.
Without consensus, some experts say that countries might move ahead with setting up their own domain name system, or DNS, as a way of bypassing Icann.
The United States argues that a single addressing system is what makes the Internet so powerful, and moves to set up multiple Internets would be in no one's interest.
"It's not just working," said Michael Gallagher, an assistant secretary at the Commerce Department who heads communication policy. "It's working spectacularly." Paul Twomey, chief executive of Icann, said fears of U.S. government influence on the Internet were overstated............

Die Namen sind einfach nur Informationen, die etwas
von etwas anderem unterscheiden sollen.
Sie sind eine künstliche
Eigenschaft, die mit dem Bezeichneten zu diesem Zweck verbunden wird - also
genannt.
Das Ganze ist so gestaltet, dass das Herstellen und Verwenden der Namen mit geringem Aufwand umsetzbar ist. Wer mehr über Namen wissen mag kann ja im Internet mal nach sandra suchen - der wird schlauer.
Die Herkunft von Namen versucht die
Etymologie zu klären.
Dazu einfach eine Erdnuss essen - das zusammen ist erst der geistreiche Genuss in Nuss ;)
Namen im Internet findet man doch immer wieder. Sei es nun solch ein einfacher und schöner Name wie
Sylvia dann hat man echt Glück gehabt.
Jedoch sollte man auch andere Schreibweisen von Namen
tolerieren. Also wer meint, das er
Silvia mit
i schreiben mag, der darf das
tun. Solche Namen wie Susanne kann man doch ebenfalls in tausenden verschiedenen Schreibarten niederschreiben oder? Also übt Toleranz, wenn es um Namen geht und deren Nennung.
Mann kann auch sagen alles, kann nichts muss. Wer also in der Namensgebung nicht
genau weiss, wie er weiter Verfahren soll, sollte doch einfachmal Googeln und
sehen, was bei raus kommt. Besonders beim Begriff Erotik
sind die Möglichkeiten unbegrenzt, in den Suchergebnissen konstruktive
Ergebnisse zu finden. Sollten keine guten Ergebnisse bei raus kommen, nicht
traurig sein.......

AMD v. Intel: More companies subpoenaed
Advanced Micro Devices said on Thursday that it served more than 15 companies with subpoenas this week as of part of its antitrust lawsuit against rival Intel.
Computer makers and a dozen distributors and retailers--including three companies that hadn't been subpoenaed by AMD before--were served papers as AMD seeks information related to its claims against Intel.
AMD filed suit against Intel in June, alleging that Intel has a monopoly on microprocessors and used targeted discounts and strong-arm tactics to cut AMD out of the market. Intel denies AMD's claims, saying its dominance in the market is due to its investments in research and development and in manufacturing.
AMD spokesman Michael Silverman said AMD is not suing the subpoenaed companies but trying to extract evidence.
"AMD views these third parties as victims of Intel's misconduct and therefore hopes to obtain these documents in the manner least burdensome to them," he said, noting that many of the companies receiving subpoenas have already been notified that they would be questioned.
Among those receiving requests this week to produce documents were Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lenovo Group, Gateway, Sun Microsystems, NEC and units of Fujitsu, as well as retailers Circuit City and Best Buy. Many of the companies have already agreed to protect their correspondence with Intel.
Three new names were also added to the list: Appro International, based in Milpitas, Calif., and MPC Computers and Egenera, both out of Wilmington, Del., Silverman said, but gave no specific reason for their addition to the list.
Lawyers for both sides mutually agreed to delay their exchange of evidence despite a request by the judge handling the case, Joseph J. Farnan Jr., of the Delaware District Court, that AMD and Intel exchange pertinent information on the case by Thursday.
The delay was due to the large number of documents that both parties are sifting through, Silverman said.
Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said he had not heard back from his legal team in Delaware on when the exchange would be rescheduled.
People familiar with the lawsuit say it is not expected to come to trial until 2007 at the earliest.
In its complaint, AMD claimed that Intel imposed scare tactics and coercion on 38 companies, including large-scale computer makers, small system builders, wholesale distributors and retailers.
Intel countered with a 63-page reply in September, emphatically denying having a monopoly on PC microprocessors and locking out AMD from deals with computer manufacturers through threats and targeted rebates.

Google, Sun plan partnership
Sun Microsystems and Google plan to announce a collaborative effort that some analysts speculate could elevate the profile of the OpenOffice.org and Java software packages.
Details won't emerge publicly until Google CEO Eric Schmidt and Sun CEO Scott McNealy take the stage on Tuesday at a news conference in Mountain View, Calif. But one strong possibility is a partnership that could help shift personal computing out of Microsoft's domain and into Google's.
The partners have complementary assets for such a task. Sun has the open-source OpenOffice.org software suite and its close relative, StarOffice. It has Java software, which is well suited for network-friendly applications that run on any Java-enabled PC.
As for Google, its products have become daily resources for a vast number of computer users, and it offers a growing suite of software. In addition, it has the ambition of becoming the company that supplies network-based applications.
One person who was possibly an influence on the change is Joerg Heilig, who for years was director of engineering for StarOffice at Sun, but who now apparently is a Google employee. Redmonk analyst Stephen O'Grady said he had heard Heilig had been hired by the search company, and Google's voice mail system includes an employee with that full name.
A hint about the upcoming announcement might lie in Sun President Jonathan Schwartz's blog entry about software distribution, posted Saturday. In recent years, the power of software provision shifted toward Microsoft and away from companies that distribute software, whether through stores or directly to customers, he wrote.
"You used what came bundled into Windows and got a new slug of functionality each time you upgraded. It was a good gig," Schwartz wrote.
Now the shift has gone further, as the Internet has allowed companies "to bypass Microsoft's legendary distribution power," he wrote, specifically mentioning Google as an example.
"Value is returning to the desktop applications, and not simply through Windows Vista," he wrote. "There's a resurgence of interest in resident software that executes on your desktop, yet connects to network services. Without a browser. Like Skype. Or QNext. Or Google Earth. And Java? OpenOffice and StarOffice?"
Google already has a significant collection of software that is dependent on a network rather than being tied to an operating system. They include Gmail for e-mail, the Desktop Search Sidebar (which offers customized news and information based on a computer users's activity), Picasa for photo management and Google Earth for satellite-based maps and geographic information.
A partnership with Sun that provided an office applications suite would round out that list--and dramatically increase the competition between Google and Microsoft, whose Office suite dominates the market for word processing, spreadsheets and presentation software.
"Google could deploy a version of Google Office at any time. The reason they haven't (is) they're not set up to serve enterprises with all the security and name recognition that Sun has," said Stephen Arnold, author of "The Google Legacy: How Google's Internet Search is Transforming Application Software." "That's a very obvious plus for Google," he said.
And Google has mammoth distribution power, O'Grady said. "Google has the ability to get into exponentially more places than does OpenOffice," he said, including places that "may never have heard of (OpenOffice.org) in the first place."
Microsoft counts Office as a major revenue source and continues to develop the product. A beta version of the upcoming Office 12 is due in November. Although the new version has some server-centric features, the product is still fundamentally a PC-based application suite.
Microsoft declined to comment for this story.
There already are close ties between the two companies, observed Caris & Co. analyst Mark Stahlman, who in the early 1990s heard talk at Sun about building the kind of network services that Google now is providing. Among the ties: Google CEO Schmidt was Sun's chief technology officer in the 1990s; John Doerr, a venture capitalist at Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, is on the board of both companies; and Andy Bechtolsheim, a Sun co-founder who returned to the company to launch its Galaxy servers, wrote a check for $100,000 that helped get Google started.
In addition, Google is an active Java user. Since 2004, it has been a member of the Java Community Process steering committee that governs the fate of the technology. Though Java hasn't caught on widely for running desktop software, it has long had the potential to undermine Microsoft's strength by providing an alternative program foundation to Windows.
Other avenues for cooperation between the companies exist. Google's data center could use Sun's "Galaxy" line of AMD Opteron-based x86 servers and, though they're farther afield from Google's current x86-based systems, its upcoming Niagara-based Sparc-Solaris machines that are geared for Web-oriented tasks.
Sun's top two executives have repeatedly praised Google's influence. "Google is probably the most important application your CIO (chief information officer) delivers to you," McNealy said in a speech in September. And Schwartz used Google to highlight Google's power to bypass computing decision-makers and reach directly to the computer users.
"How many CIOs picked Google? Zero. How many employees use it? All of them," Sun's president said in a February speech. "Consumers have a great deal of influence."
Wall Street responded favorably to a news advisory about the Sun-Google partnership, sending Sun's stock up 26 cents, or 7 percent, to $4.19 at the close of trading Monday. Google rose $2.22, or 1 percent, to $318.68.
Microsoft isn't the only company that could suffer from a Google-sponsored thrust to rival desktop computing applications, Interarbor Solutions analyst Dana Gardner said. "IBM is in this game as well with their middleware-to-the-client strategy," he said. IBM's approach combines a version of OpenOffice with browser access to Domino and Notes server software. Its focus, though, is on businesses, while Google also has consumers in its crosshairs.
"It seems almost irresistible for Google and Sun to combine Google's ubiquitous reach with Sun's grid, Java and server strengths, to deliver hosted access to resources that could cause some pre-winter chills to run through Redmond," Robert Frances Group analyst Michael Dortch said.
In September, Sun's McNealy reiterated his belief that thin clients will prevail, with central servers handling the heavy lifting of computing rather than PCs.
But centrally hosted office software would require some major engineering to be widely used. In 1999, Sun had plans for a Java-based version of StarOffice, called StarPortal, that could run on the network so that Java-enabled devices could access it. On Monday, though, Sun said, "there are currently no plans for a Java version of StarOffice."
