I'm working for a growing university's IT department and we are growing more and more concerned with our wireless network. While we have managed to feel pretty good about our security solution, we don't have a good method for planning, analyzing, and troubleshooting our existing infrastructure as it grows. How would you go about troubleshooting your wifi problems, or surveying the current setup? Is there a published standard for wifi coverage or utilization? What would be some important factors in your wifi planning such as Signal-Noise-Ratio and Multipath?

Pretty interesting article in the Washington Post (Registration Required) describing how social networks can promote obesity. From the article:
"The study, involving more than 12,000 people tracked over 32 years, found that 'social networks' play a surprisingly powerful role in determining an individual's chances of gaining weight, transmitting an increased risk of becoming obese from wives to husbands, from brothers to brothers and from friends to friends."
Basically the article says that if you hang out with fat people, you're more likely to let yourself go since it's socially acceptable within that group.
Now...let's go get that donut!
