My favourite place is my house. It is a three-storey terrace house and has a gym, a function room, a swimming pool and an indoor Pool table that anyone in the neighbourhood can use. But, anyone who wants to use the function room and the Pool table would have to book them.
I have been living in this house since I was about 4 years old. I like my house because it is still very spacious even after both my brother's and my books are placed in the house. We also have a built-in fish pond and a basement to keep all English and Chinese storybooks and magazines.
There is a nice view of the forest from both my brother's and my parent's bedrooms but there is therefore quite a lot of mosquitoes "visiting" my house sometimes.
I feel that my house is where the family eats, shares about things that has happened during school and work, plays and does work together as a family.

Latest MedicineNet News
THURSDAY, July 12 (HealthDay News) -- Rising temperatures caused by climate change may lead to reduced milk production among cows in the southern United States, a new study suggests.
University of Washington researchers analyzed climate and dairy industry data and concluded that the effects of climate change on milk production by Holstein cows through 2080 will vary across the United States due to major regional differences in humidity and swings between day and night temperatures.
For example, the humidity and hot nights in the Southeast make that region the most unfriendly place in the United States for dairy cows, the study authors said in a university news release.
The study concluded that "regions that are currently experiencing the greatest losses [in milk production] are also the most susceptible: They are projected to be impacted the most by climate change."
Study author Yoram Bauman summed up the findings this way: "Cows are happy in parts of Northern California and not in Florida."
The researchers also found that dairy farmers are already clustering in areas of the country that are most comfortable for cows, such as the cool coastal counties of Washington state.
"Using U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics, if you look at milk production in the Southeast versus the Northwest, it's very different," study co-author and postdoctoral researcher in the university's Climate Impacts Group, Guillaume Mauger, said in the news release. "It's reasonable to assume that some of that is due to the inhospitable environment for cows in the Southeast."
The study was scheduled for presentation Thursday at the Conference on Climate Change at the University of Washington, in Seattle. The data and conclusions of research presented at meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Chemotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer
]]>Main Page]]> | ]]>Risk Factors]]> | ]]>Reducing Your Risk]]> | ]]>Screening]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | ]]>Diagnosis]]> | ]]>Treatment Overview]]> | Chemotherapy | ]]>Radiation Therapy]]> | ]]>Surgical Procedures]]> | ]]>Lifestyle Changes]]> | ]]>Managing Side Effects]]> | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
Cancer ]]>chemotherapy]]> is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Unlike ]]>radiation]]> and surgery, which are localized treatments, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, meaning the drugs travel throughout the whole body. This means chemotherapy can reach cancer cells that may have spread, or metastasized, to other areas.
Chemotherapy is usually combined with other types of treatment (surgery, radiation therapy) in an attempt to do the following:
- Cure smaller, early-stage pancreatic cancer
- Increase survival time in more advanced ]]>pancreatic cancer]]> (Although, this usually means only by a matter of months.)
- Provide some symptom relief
Chemotherapy Drugs Used for Pancreatic Cancer
- ]]>Fluorouracil]]> (5-FU)
- ]]>Gemcitabine]]> (the first line treatment)
- ]]>Gemcitabine plus erlotinib]]> (Tarceva)—first line treatment
- ]]>Cisplatin]]> (Blastolem RU, Tecnoplatin)
- Investigational agents (experimental treatments)

Gemcitabine, used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy agents, seems to improve the quality of life for patients with pancreatic cancer. Chemotherapy with gemcitabine improves symptoms, including pain, nausea, and vomiting in about 25% of patients. It also provides a modest increase in survival (usually only a few months).
Fluorouracil is not associated with a survival benefit. Cisplatin and some other drugs have been used in combination with gemcitabine, but are associated with more side effects.
These drugs should be used with caution in the elderly and those with liver or ]]>kidney disease]]>. Elderly patients are at an increased risk of side effects.

Generally speaking, activities that are core to your brand and offering should be managed in house while those activities that are incidental or supplemental to your vision and strategy make good choices for outsourcing.
The reality is that advisors outsource a lot. Advisors using mutual funds, SMAs or ETFs outsource the investment management function, even if they determine the asset allocation. Investment managers investing directly in stocks and bonds often outsource much of the research that informs those decisions. Advisors utilizing a custodian or broker-dealer outsource many of their middle- and back-office functions and delegate the safe holding of securities to another entity. RIA firms regularly and systematically outsource many of the processes related to compliance, though, in the end, they are accountable for the activities of their firm and for adhering to regulatory requirements.
Firm leaders often realize that they do not add value to commoditized functions. In the examples above, outsource providers take the most basic elements of serving the end investor and package them in a way that drives down costs and makes the activity more streamlined and efficient than a single advisor could ever hope to.
Outsourcing decisions involve more than just purchasing services, however. Advisors must carefully balance the need for control with the need to grow. One should carefully weigh the impact of diverting resources to an ordinary task against investing in what makes your business flourish, and compare fixed costs to variable costs in order to better manage cash flow.
The Need for Control
It is common if not typical for financial professionals to try to control every aspect of what they do. Many believe that by holding tight to processes, they can ensure a consistent client experience and guarantee that everything will be done right.
While there is an element of truth in this belief, consistency and quality both suffer when the advisor is overwhelmed with clients demanding attention and there is no process in place to double-check the work. Does that still feel like control?
If you add staff to help lighten the load, you must ensure that the work meets your standards and the needs of your clients. Delegation, whether to an outsourced solution or to somebody internally, must be accompanied by clear expectations, a consistent process of review and confidence that whoever is doing the work has both the expertise and the necessary attention to detail.
Frequently, I hear advisors say it is easier and faster to do it themselves than to turn it over to somebody else. That is just rationalization. And it is true only once. Any time or attention an advisor gives to something that could be performed by someone else reduces his value to clients. Further, every advisor has a finite capacity; a time will come when they cannot take on any more clients unless they add capacity. When that happens, their need for control will stunt their own growth.
Diversion of Resources
One of the most compelling reasons to outsource is so that advisors can redirect their resources to areas where they make an impact and that best convey their brand and offering. This is one of the big reasons why mutual funds became such a popular investment vehicle in delivering retail financial advice. Mutual funds allow the advisor to leverage professional institutional-quality investment management, achieve diversification even for the not-so-wealthy and execute transactions at a relatively low cost.
Other investment vehicles provide the same type of leverage. In some cases, such as with hedge funds, advisors gain access to unique opportunities that they may deem appropriate for clients who otherwise could not access them. Even the largest institutions such as banks and wirehouse firms use these packaged products as a way to keep their brokers focused on the client or focused on selling, rather than performing the role of money manager. Outsourcing can be implemented to support a strategy, with the goal in this example higher production.
Smaller firms, including most independent rep and RIA practices, heavily rely on outsourced investment solutions. They also outsource many other business activities ranging from financial and estate planning services for clients, payroll accounting and distribution for employees, tax preparation and, in some cases, staffing. In each case, the advisor determines that an outside provider can perform the function faster, cheaper or more efficiently.
Business development is an intriguing area of outsourcing. Advisors may turn to this solution because of a discomfort with the sales process or because other critical parts of their practice (such as client management) consume their time.
This channel includes referral programs in which custodians steer retail clients to advisors. Some advisors depend on these referral programs for all their leads. While convenient, sole reliance on outsourced business development is also risky and expensive; advisors must pay a percentage of the revenue generated back to the source in perpetuity, and also loses the opportunity to establish their own brand in the market.
Branding goes well beyond the sales and marketing initiatives of a firm. Branding reflects your promise to clients in terms of what you will deliver and how you will deliver it. How do clients and centers of influence describe you when making a referral? If you want to be known as the leading financial planning firm for business owners, for example, avoid outsourcing any activities that would take away from that core offering. If you want to be known for your superior performance as a money manager, ensure that you have close control of the process that allows you to invest effectively.
On the other hand, if financial planning is incidental to your business and done only occasionally and tactically, then this might be a function you outsource rather than attempt to do inexpertly.
Increasingly, advisors are adding technical support staff so that they can leverage their time and take on more business. But each addition of staff brings cost increases, forcing advisors to examine the decision of "owning" this support from an economic point of view.
How many new clients generating how much revenue do you need to pay for that additional person? How long will it take to amortize that investment or just break even?
Outsourcing allows an advisory firm to manage its business on a variable cost basis, meaning that the costs fluctuate with the ebbs and flows of their business. When an advisory firm is growing, however, it is hard to gain real operating leverage if costs are rising at the same rate as revenue. So there comes a time, especially with volume increasing, when it makes more sense from a profit management standpoint to invest in permanent resources and transform the variable expenses into a fixed cost. The benefit for a growing firm is that once they overtake the break-even point, each dollar of revenue produced goes right to the bottom line.
Relying on a large variable cost structure is a lot like renting. It allows one to occupy a space without having to come up with a lot of cash. In the long run, this convenience also means you are not building equity or managing your expenses so that you can harvest a better return on your dollars.
Ultimately, economic reality combined with a lack of expertise in all areas usually forces the decision to outsource regardless of one's strategy. But when advisors step back and examine how outsourcing will impact their brand and deliverables—and when the firm becomes larger and scalable—the decision to bring an activity in house becomes more obvious.

If you had asked Franklin Roosevelt or Harry Truman or John Kennedy or Lyndon Johnson or Jimmy Carter or even Bill Clinton what Democrats would defend in a fight over the future of government, there's no real question that funding for housing, public transportation, community development programs and safe air travel would be high on the list.
Yet, in order to achieve the Friday night deal that averted a government shutdown for a week and, potentially, longer if an anticipated agreement is cobbled together and agreed to all of those programs took serious hits.
The arrangement worked out Friday night averted the threatened shutdown with a two-step process. First, the House and Senate passed a one-week spending bill that addressed the immediate threat. That should give Congress and the White House time to finalize a fiscal 2011 spending deal on which they have agreed in principle before an April 15 deadline.
So who won the standoff? President Obama says the deal is good for the future, and that might make some Democrats think that he and the Democrats prevailed.
The one-week spending bill enacted by the House and Senate contains $2 billion in spending cuts to transportation, housing and community development programs.
A Senate Appropriations Committee review says that most of the $2 billion in cuts contained in the one-week bill come from a $1.5 billion slashing of the Federal Railroad Administration's High Speed and Intercity Passenger Rail program. More cuts are achieved by hacking $220 million from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Fund. And research into making air travel safer and more efficient took cuts as well.
In other words, precisely the sort of programs that Democrats used to defend was slashed. The Senate agreed to the one-week plan by unanimous consent.
Seventy House members opposed the bill. Of those seventy "no" votes, forty-two came from Democrats. They did not want a shutdown, as some of the GOP "no" voters did. But the dissenting Democrats said the cuts went too far.
And we will need a lot more FDR Democrats to prevent the broader deal from becoming the greatest triumph yet in the GOP campaign to end the New Deal and bend the arc of history against progress.

Italian channel Italia 1 is claiming that Vettel has signed a three-year deal with Ferrari from 2014. There are always rumors going around in Formula One. Does this one hold any water?
Ferrari seems receptive and both Fernando Alonso (signed at least through 2016) and Stefano Domenicali, Ferrari's team manager, have welcomed the idea of Vettel on the team.
We spoke to a representative from Red Bull who stated, "If you want to run a story based on rumors, that's what it'll be about."
This would mean four collective World Championships between Ferrari's two drivers, not counting a fifth if either one wins the championship this year.

Navigating the emotional shoals of divorce is never easy. Add in the problems of untangling shared finances and it gets that much tougher. A few simple tips can help you organize your finances before and after the dissolution of your marriage.
There's a lot to think about beyond dividing the belongings. Who will make sure bills are paid before the divorce is final? Is there a plan in place for paying for college for your children? Have you made sure your retirement is funded?
If you are contemplating divorce you'll obviously hire an attorney to guide you through the legal land mines, but many forget that hiring a financial advisor to guide you through the financial land mines is also important. While these 10 critical tips can get you started down the right road, after the legal process has played out, one could be left with long-term financial problems if they don't get more detailed assistance. The Financial Planning Association has resources to help you through the wrenching divorce process.
AdvisorOne has complied the Top 10 Critical Financial Tips During Divorce:
1. Devise a New Budget
With your household income taking a hit, you need to sit down and make sure you can cover your monthly expenses. In addition to ensuring you live within your new means, it's important to establish a cash emergency fund. Expenses for attorneys and other costs can mount. And don't forget to include savings for retirement in any plan you devise.
2. Monitor Your Credit Report
Before the divorce is complete, monitor your credit rating to make sure you maintain a good rating. Remember that even debts normally paid by your spouse can reflect on your credit score.
3. Close Joint Accounts
Make sure that all joint credit cards, bank accounts and other shared accounts are closed, paid off or put in one person's name or the other. Use your credit report to make sure you don't forget any accounts. This will help protect your credit score from delinquent payments on the part of your former spouse.
4. Open Accounts in Your Own Name
After you close accounts that carry the names of both you and your spouse, you'll want to establish credit on your own. Apply for credit cards and open bank accounts in your own name. Be sure to use a different bank than you used for the joint accounts.
5. Estimate Your Worth
Make a list of all the personal property you and your spouse have accrued. Estimate its worth. If you own a home, consult a real-estate agent to determine its market value. To further ease the divorce process, list the items that you "must" have in any settlement. As difficult as it might be, try to be fair.
6. Assess Liabilities
Once you have a list of your assets, you need to consider all your liabilities. That would include a mortgage and any other loans, credit card and other debts.
7. Update Beneficiaries
It might be easy to forget all the places your ex-spouse has been named as your beneficiary. Among the places to make a change are retirement accounts and insurance policies (don't forget that policy you get as part of your employee benefits package). Remember to change your will and any other legal documents, such as a medical proxy.
8. Watch Those Taxes
Any divorce settlement can impact your tax situation. Make sure you are aware of how you will be affected so you don't receive any April surprises from the IRS.
9. Insurance Needs
Besides health insurance, you'll need to make sure other needs are met. Many times, one partner is more aware of the property, casualty, auto and other types of insurance carried by a family. It's important you have enough insurance of all types to protect you and your children.
10. Settle If You Can
Divorce battles can be long, drawn-out affairs that can leave emotional scars on you and your children. If you can, agree to a division of property, alimony, child support and visitation rights without airing your grievances in court. Besides the emotional savings, you'll spend a lot less money on the split.

We've learned a lot about tea over the past century – and Lipton now offers an array of tea-based drinks, from leaf tea to tea bags.
An aromatic, uplifting beverage savored for centuries around the world from India and Ireland to the U.S.A., tea was once an expensive drink, enjoyed exclusively by the wealthy. And with early packaging and transportation issues, it was also variable in quality and taste.
In 1880, 40-year-old, Glasgow-born entrepreneur and innovator Sir Thomas Lipton envisioned an opportunity to make tea universally accessible with guaranteed quality at acceptable prices.
In 1890, he began purchasing tea estates in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, and packaged and sold the first Lipton tea. Staying true to his vision, he arranged packaging and shipping at low costs to sell his teas directly from the tea garden to the tea pot. In 1893, he officially established the Thomas J Lipton Co., a tea packing company with its headquarters and factory in Hoboken, New Jersey.
<< Lipton® teas enjoyed everywhere >>
Lipton® teas were an immediate success in the United States and the United Kingdom. In recognition of his exceptional contribution, Thomas Lipton was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1898, and became Sir Thomas Lipton at the age of forty-eight.
Lipton® is now the world's leading tea brand, sold in more than 150 countries

The bent End PinAlthough the bent end pin which Paul Tortelier invented for playing the cello has been around for many years and is used by many cellists, there are very few double bass players who use this technical aid. François Rabbath advocates the use of the bent end pin because
- the instrument can be easily balanced when it is played in a standing position
- it weighs less heavily on the chest
- the angle of each string to the instrument remains constant - a necessary condition for a sure bowing technique
- weight can be used instead of muscle strength. This applies to the bow arm as well as the hand stopping the string.

DOVER — Rochester parents Alexis and Rob Gilbert say they're not joking when they tell people they planned their second pregnancy around the opening of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital's new Garrison Wing. Thirty weeks along, the two said they timed their plans for their second son's arrival to coincide perfectly with the hospital's new state-of-the-art Women and Children's Center.
"He was a preemie at Maine Med," Alexis Gilbert said, motioning over to her 2-year-old son, Braden, squirming in Rob's arms during their visit to the wing. "And when we found out Wentworth was putting in a new wing with a new birthing unit, we decided to wait for the second one."
Alexis is due in March but said she couldn't wait to stop by and see the new hospital wing during an open house Saturday morning and afternoon.
"We waited," she said with a laugh.
Vice President of Community Relations Noreen Biehl said hundreds had passed through the new wing that morning, hoping to catch a glimpse of the eye-catching structure. An additional 50 people arrived even before the official open house started at 10 a.m.
"We've had lots of people who said they had watched construction, especially those in the neighborhood," Biehl said, noting construction wrapped up in two years with the groundbreaking in January 2011. "And they were very curious about the building … We've been hearing very positive thoughts about the space."
The new four-story addition, which stands along the southwest corner of the hospital, stemmed from a growing need for space at Wentworth-Douglass to accommodate patients.
The first floor of the building is stylistically designed, with a modern décor and a healing garden wrapped around the structure with a large wind structure near the front entrance. The entry level houses the communications and human resources departments and is also dedicated to education, with a large auditorium space to allow the hospital to host health fairs, conferences and lectures on-site, as well as an research library available for public use.
The second floor of the wing, with a new birthing center that has drawn much interest from families in the area, is equipped with a family playroom, C-section operating room, water birth room and private nursery spaces. Each floor of the wing has also taken on a decorative theme — the second floor's Women and Children's Center is based on the "woodland," where family-friendly foxes, bears and rabbit cutouts decorated the walls.
Manager of Creative Services and Web Content Monika O'Clair also showed off a new nursery made possible by a $250,000 donation from Hannaford Charitable Foundation.
As many tour groups looked over the new level's features, Alison Leighton, child life specialist, showed off a room where children from toddler-age to 18, and 21 in some cases, will be comfortably walked through the hospitalization process. Leighton said an interactive unit from the Dover Children's Museum will soon be placed in her room to help clear up any medical "misconceptions" younger patients may have.
"They'll have loads of fun here," she said, as she greeted visitors into the space, with decorative airplane and parachute light fixtures hanging from the ceiling.
The third floor houses the orthopedic department where patients can stay and also work through their rehabilitation process. Tour groups were shown the Joint Replacement Center's exercise room, with equipment donated by the Seacoast Orthopedic and Sports Medicine group. Devices available to assist patients there include a makeshift car so recovering patients can practice getting in and out of their vehicles safely while they heal. The fourth floor is designed for medical and surgical patients, with a similar design to the third floor.
The upper two floors of the Garrison Wing each have 32 private patient rooms their own bathrooms. Staff stressed each patient will have their own room when staying in the Garrison Wing and as patients are moved into the area in the coming weeks, renovations will begin in the older portion of the hospital to update and ensure each person will have their own space in the future.
Biehl said the wing is much more than an addition, so the hospital took pride in naming the uniquely designed four-story structure after Dover's nickname, the Garrison City.
"It felt like it needed something special," she said.
The name is derived from the 17th-century homes that were among the first permanent settlements in the area, retrofitted with defensive structures as relations between English settlers and Native Americans began to break down in the late 1600s. The hospital is hoping to invoke connotations of defense, protection and healing with the new name of the hospital wing, according to an announcement published in a newsletter last May. Those same themes are reflected in the architecture and interior spaces of the wing.
The first set of patients will move into the third floor on Jan. 22, with the Women and Children's Center opening on Feb. 5.

Apple 60W MagSafe Power Adapter (for MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro)
The 60 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.
When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector will light; an amber light lets you know that your portable is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives users an even easier and more compact way to travel.
Designed to be the perfect traveling companion, the adapter has a clever design which allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage.
This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.
Compatible with MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro.

If the 2012 MacBook Pro is the model without the Retina display (With the CD/DVD drive) then the 60W would work on both. If you were to use a 45W MagSafe power adapter on the MacBook Pro, then it can cause problems with the battery and main logic board which are hard and not cheap to fix.

I lived in the US ten years ago and plugged my UK purchased Toshiba laptop into the mains using an ordinary travel adaptor that you get in an airport etc and it worked fine. I bought a Macbook Pro when I was out there - which is what I am typing on now and it plugs into the mains in the UK without any problems.
You don't know need a 'convertor' - just an 'adaptor' If you look on the 'white box' in the middle of the power cable, it actually says 100-240V and 50/60Hz. The supplied power cable does the necessary work for you.

Being a Remote Worker Sucks - Long Live the Remote Worker
I've been a 100% remote worker at Microsoft for just about 5 years now. My last two jobs were both 7 year long gigs, so this isn't the longest I've worked somewhere, but clocking in at a half-decade, it's the longest I've worked remotely. Given that I haven't yet been fired, it's fair to say that I'm a pretty good remote worker.
I've been writing about Being a Remote Worker on the blog here for a long time.
Being remote is wonderful and it sucks.
This week former Google Employee #20 and current Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer declared that all remote workers need to head into the office (and in some cases, move house) before June.
If I got this memo while working Remote at Yahoo I'd quit that moment. I would probably quit with some flair as well. Talk about completely demotivating.
I see this ban on Remote Work at Yahoo as one (or all) of these three things:
- A veiled attempt to trim the workforce through effectively forced attrition by giving a Sophie's Choice to remote workers that management perceives as possibly not optimally contributing. It's easy to avoid calling it a layoff when you've just changed the remote work policy, right?
- A complete and total misstep and misunderstanding of how remote workers see themselves and how they provide value.
- Pretty clear evidence that Yahoo really has no decent way to measure of productivity and output of a worker.
Ultimately, though, this comes down to trust, and trust can be found or lost on every page of a company's policies. You were hired as a professional; are you trusted to be a professional? Working remotely requires your company to trust you can do the work not only without them seeing you, but also without constant physical interaction with your teammates.
I saw this tweet yesterday and I agree. Remote working isn't awesome. There are great aspects, but parts just sucks.
There's plenty of people talking about how great remote working is but not enough folks discussing how to overcome its many challenges...— Des Traynor (@destraynor) February 25, 2013
Here's why it sucks and what I do about it.
Why Working Remotely Sucks
There's a few reasons why being a remote worker sucks.
Guilt Sucks
All this said, it's REALLY hard to be remote. I propose that most remote workers work at least as hard, if not more so, than their local counterparts. This is fueled in no small part by guilt and fear. We DO feel guilty working at home. We assume you all think we're just hanging out without pants on. We assume you think we're just at the mall tweeting. We fear that you think we aren't putting in a solid 40 hours (or 50, or 60).
Because of this, we tend to work late, we work after the kids are down, and we work weekends. We may take an afternoon off to see a kid's play, but then the guilt will send us right back in to make up the time. In my anecdotal experience, remote workers are more likely to feel they are "taking time from the company" and pay it back more than others.
You might poo-poo the guilt, but ask around to your remote brethren. It's there, they just don't talk about it.
Being Unseen Sucks - Out of Sight, Out of Mind
A few months back we had a standup meeting and a boss couldn't get the web cam to work (It's been 5 years but even now they usually spend about 10 minutes messing about with the webcam before giving up and just having me call in). All this while 20 workers who "showed up" stare daggers (I'm assuming) into the Klingon Phone and the guilt piles on.
Anyway, we were going around the table (remember I'm the invisible guy in the center of the table) and then the meeting ended. I was muted, and was like "Hey, guys? It's me...Scott...I'd like to get you up to date on what I'm working on..."
VPN is a Second-Class Citizen
No matter what your IT says, no matter how fancy your Smart Card is, or even if you have "Direct Access" enabled at work (basically your machine is at home, but always internal) you're remote. Every week you'll hit a site that doesn't work unless you're inside. You'll be constantly prompted for passwords, you'll be told certain scripts or installers don't work as a remote worker.
I have to drive into the office at least quarterly JUST for the purpose of dealing with issues like this.
People Ask "When you are up next?"
This one is the worst. "When are you coming to campus next?"
I'm online all day, every day. I've got HD webcams, Lync, Skype, GChat, hell I got Chat Roulette, on every machine I own. You don't think to call me for 3 months, but when you see me, you're all like "let's get you plugged into the project..."
I'm absolutely available anytime to talk. We can do a call, a chat, or best yet, a hi-def video call. Trust me, I'm at your disposal if you'll only take a step forward.
Ways to make Remote Working work
First, it DOES depend on the job. We have folks like Brian Harry who lives on a farm in the Carolinas, but he's also got a large team over there. They aren't on campus, but there are folks he works with closely. We have folks like Steve Sanderson who works in London for a team in Redmond, but his job is very focused and "the code don't lie." I suspect that directing a complete feature team while remote would be considerably harder than participating on a feature team. That's one of the reasons I moved jobs and gave up my team. I feel better as an individual contributor with a clear focus.
Before I started on the ASP.NET Product Team, I used to run a team of folks when I worked in MSDN. Every one of us was remote. In fact, we were in all four corners of the US - Oregon, San Diego, New England, Florida.
Our jobs were discrete, directed and clear. We were laser-focused and each worked well remotely. Here's some things that have worked for me and others.
Status, Status, Status
Remote workers need to make it easy for folks to answer the question "What is that person working on?" This is somewhat of a double standard, since they may have no idea what the person in the next office is working on, but that woman shows up every day, so she must be productive, right?
Regardless, when I ran the team, we'd send out a list of three things each Monday that we wanted to accomplish that week. We'd follow up on Friday with what happened to those three things - what worked and what didn't.
Do be seen
I used to come up every month, but since I travel to conferences and customers a lot (plus budget issues) I go to Microsoft about once a quarter. When I'm there it's a flurry of meetings as "relationship building." That's business-speak for talking, talking, talking so that they remember why they hired you. It's comforting to the locals when the remote shows up. Try to get to the office when you can.
We made a "virtual portal" from Portland to Seattle so that anyone could peek in an see either side. We just need to circle it in Orange and Blue.
Team Building
When you ARE in a group, take any opportunity to "team build." I used to think this was touchy-feely nonsense, but truly, shared experience in a non-work context can totally transform relationships. I try to hang out with the team whenever I'm in town, and just check in with them, their families, and other non-work stuff.
Find a Place to Be Productive
Often just being a home can drive you nuts. I try to get out a few times a week. I've worked from the mall, from Starbucks, from McDonald's (free wi-fi, sue me) and from a park bench. I find that just having people walking around makes me feel more productive. Their movement and energy keeps me focused.
Try different places, find your place, but don't be afraid to mix it up.
Get Feedback
During 1:1s with my boss I always come with lists and lists of what I'm working on and why it's useful. There's always this Spidey Sense that "well, it's been a good gig, but this remote thing isn't working out." He's very good and assuaging that concern, but it's still there.
Make sure you're getting feedback on your work and you know you're on track with you're working on. Ask for feedback. That means ASK. "Do you feel I'm on track with X? Are you happy with what you're seeing with Y?" It's hard but it's important.
Know Every Collaboration Tool
We use Lync at work, but I also use Skype, GChat, Join.me, straight VNC, Windows Remote Assistance, CoPilot and a dozen others. If one doesn't work for some reason, don't waste time, just move to the next one. If someone starts to associate you, the remote worker, as a symbol for technical difficulties it will slowly warp their perception of you. Make it easy.
I have a small shared office space with a camera I can turn on remotely. This means a boss can walk in and "meet" me without them having to think. That makes it easier for a boss to work. Bosses need to manage, not mess around with cameras.
Be Available
A caveat to this one: Be Available During Work Hours. Don't overcompensate and be the person who is online at 5am or answers emails on Sunday. Just make sure that from 9 to 5 you are 100% available via SOME way that your boss knows about.

About Newsletter
I think it's harder for companies that don't start off with remote in their blood.I've worked remote several days a week for two different companies. One a small software startup and the other an established telco. I found remote working at both to be awkward with a high degree of guilt and fear. The fact that my coworkers were in the office while I was "out" could not be overcome, even though it was clear that I put in more hours and effort on my days out than I did when I was in. However, for the past year and a half I've been working from home full-time for a software startup that has no office. Everyone is remote and most work from home. Half the team is West Coast, U.S. based and the other half is Australian. The guilt isn't there. The main fear I have is of the will-this-startup-be-around-tomorrow? ilk, nothing related to being remote. However there is a small if-this-startup-gets-acquired-will-I-have-to-move? concern, but I can't burn energy on hypotheticals. Basically I'm saying I've tried it both ways and I agree with everything everyone else said. So... there's that. As for Yahoo's move, I suspect they have insufficient basis (due to years of horrifically poor management) on which to assess whether their people are professional enough to be trusted to work remote. They simply deemed it easier to start with a clean slate and work back into the flexibility they would like their employees to enjoy. This wasn't a big move so much as it was an unfortunate consequence of bad management.

UVA soccer alum joins MLS
Just days after UK football megastar David Beckham stunned the sports world by announcing his intention to leave championship Spanish team Real Madrid – and igniting a surge in Major League Soccer ticket sales in the process – former UVA player Claudio Reyna has revealed that he will also be returning to the States to play with the New York Red Bulls.
Reyna, now 33, played at UVA in the early 1990's, leading the team to three national titles, and he also took the U.S. team to the quarterfinals in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. (He was also team captain again during the 2006 tournament, but American soccer fans – at least the nationalistic ones – would probably rather forget about that, as the U.S. team was stomped out of the bracket rather quickly.)
The last few years have seen him playing in England with Manchester City, but upon arrival in New York, Reyna may be prone to flashbacks: in addition to playing a stone's throw from his Livingston, New Jersey hometown, he'll also be coached by Bruce Arena, who was his coach at UVA and again during the 2002 World Cup.
Major League Soccer was launched in 1993 in anticipation of the 1994 World Cup amid expectations that it would elevate enthusiasm for U.S. professional soccer to levels comparable to those in Europe. Nearly fifteen years later, it still has a long way to go, and Beckham's move to the Los Angeles Galaxy is being heralded as a potential watershed moment. Only time will tell, but Reyna and Arena may be in just the right place at just the right time.
