Wow, vw--gorgeous hat!

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.

Backflung, sj! Sorry it took so long, but I was at work-teaching a class for first time homebuyers.

I'm melting. Just had to help DH with a chore outside. Came back in to check the weather to see what was what and if any rain was possible. The forecast is for a high of 82 today with a current temperature of 90. That ain't right. They say the high tomorrow will be 81. I think they lie.

Thanks, DJ!
{{{Raq}}} That is completely unacceptable. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.

are there any mathy types about? I'm trying to figure out the percentage change from 253 to 494. The context:
In the first eight years of the program’s existence, the number of women college presidents increased from 154 to 253, a 65% increase. Of the 2,148 colleges surveyed by the ACE in 2006, over 20 years later, only 23% had women presidents, about 494, a xx% increase over 1985's total of 253.
God, I'm stupid. I know this is very basic but I don't know it.

494 is 195% of 253, so that's a 95% increase.

Thank you! Man, I am so useless at this stuff. I'm going to go back over it and make it make sense to me so I remember for the next time.

To get percent increase, first subtract the old value from the new value, to get how much the increase was. Then divide that by the old value -- that'll tell you how many units of increase there were per every one unit of original. Then multiply by 100 to get percent (since what you get from the division is per 1, and per cent is per 100.)
