Oh, Henry!
Staff writer
About a year ago, Kenny and I were walking into a Walmart store in Winfield. Outside the front door stood a man with two tiny little puppies bundled up in a blanket.
I picked one up and it immediately snuggled it's little head up against me. I looked at Kenny with my big sad eyes, and he returned the look with a "put- the-dog-back" look.
The man said the puppies were about seven weeks old and they were free. FREE!
Kenny said, "They poop. No dogs!"
Well, I'd forgot about those little puppies until one day a commercial came on the television.
It was the one about abandoned and abused animals where Sarah McLachlan sings, "In the Arms of an Angel" and all the animals look so sad.
Every single time I watch that commercial I get all teary eyed.
I wanted to help rescue a dog. So, for several months, I looked to see what the shelters in our area had for adoption.
This one particular evening as I was scanning through the different shelter websites on my computer, I came upon one that had animals available from rescue and adoption centers.
I read through the description of the different dogs, and just like the commercial, found that so many of these animals had been abandoned by their owners, given to shelters because they were no longer wanted, or had been abused in one way or another.
For those of you who don't know me, I am a very cuddly, snuggly, kinda gal. Some people might call that needy, I call it loveable.
Anyway, it just so happened that I had the perfect opportunity to bring the subject up again with Kenny. He was taking his bath and he had no where to run, I had him cornered. I said, "Honey, you know what I was thinking?"
His response was, as it always is when I ask him that question, "Oh no, now what?"
I replied, "We need a dog."
Before the night was over I actually had him sitting on the couch looking at all the hundreds of dogs available through different rescue shelters in Kansas.
We found a cute little guy at a shelter in Hutchinson and decided to e-mail the adoption papers.
We endured four long agonizing weeks of ridiculously long adoption forms, reference checks, veterinarian checks, and requirements.
Not once during that long process was I able to talk to anyone about the dog we wanted to adopt. It was so much red tape.
Finally I received a phone call and after asking my questions, decided that this dog was not the right fit. He didn't get along with other dogs, or with small children, and even though the ad said house-broke, he still piddled in the house. The woman I talked to said he couldn't be kenneled, and he chased squirrels and cats. Whew, glad we didn't just jump right into that one.
That night Kenny and I sat down on the couch together and once again began our search. As soon as we opened up the web-site, there HE was! A three year old, purebred, Bichon Frise who had been surrendered to Olive's Hope Pet Rescue in Louisburg by a puppy mill. He was house-broke, loved children, dogs, and husbands according to his foster family.
We sent in the simple adoption paper that this rescue center required and received a phone call the next day.
We took Henry home the following weekend and now, couldn't be happier.
Henry is the most wonderful little dog. He's getting used to his new home and loves cuddling, and snuggling. Which, come to find out, was Kenny's motive for letting me get him in the first place.
"If you have Henry to cuddle with, instead of me, I'll have more time to bow-flex, he said.
I guess that's what you call a win, win, win situation.
I needed Henry, Henry needed a good home and Kenny needed some personal time. At least that's what Kenny thought. Now, Henry has become quite attached to Kenny, so he gets cuddle time too. So much for Kenny's personal time.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 'approximately 5 million to 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and approximately 3 to 4 million are euthanized.'
I'm glad we were able to give Henry a forever home.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Student leaders across University Park are once again encouraging their fellow students to "take the lead" and make responsible decisions about drinking and involvement at Penn State.
The Take the Lead campaign, now in its fourth year, features six student leaders from various groups, teams and organizations on campus. On the campaign's posters and advertisements the leaders share their advice on how to be responsible and make the most of one's time at Penn State. From encouraging students to look out for each other to emphasizing that students should get involved, the leaders each have their own message to convey. For example, Joe Charette, a senior studying psychology and president of Delta Lambda Phi fraternity, encourages his peers to step in when friends have had too much to drink.
Largely student-led, the Take the Lead campaign was initiated to help respond to the number of alcohol-related incidents among University Park students. For instance, in the 2011-12 academic year, 657 University Park students required medical attention at Mount Nittany Medical Center related to their alcohol consumption. In a spring 2013 Pulse Student Drinking survey, nearly half (46 percent) of students reported blacking out and one-third (31 percent) reported doing something they later regretted. Pulse Surveys are conducted as a Penn State research initiative designed to get a better understanding of students' opinions on a wide range of subjects.
"Students respond positively to the Take the Lead campaign because it shows them that they're not alone in their decision to be responsible," said Linda LaSalle, associate director, Health Promotion and Wellness. "For those that choose to drink, it's a reminder of the need to be responsible when it comes to alcohol consumption."
The Take the Lead campaign was created by Health Promotion and Wellness in University Health Services with support from the following student groups: University Park Undergraduate Association, Council of Commonwealth Student Governments, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, Off-Campus Student Union, Student Athlete Advisory Council, Area Residence Hall Associations and Council of Lionhearts.
Contact Jill Nadorlik, UHS marketing manager, for more information about the campaign by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 814-865-7921.

Long-Term Review
2014 Kia Sorento SX: Making the Sorento a Mobile Office
We spend more time than ever in our cars, and more and more vehicles are clogging the road. The silver lining from all this automotive overload is that our cars have become havens from the outside world, and as we've learned during our time with the 2014 Kia Sorento SX, they can be a surprisingly decent place to do business when our schedules are stacked and we're trying to catch up on work while on the road.
It's Not About the Tech, It's About the Comfort
There are certainly techier cars than the Kia Sorento, some of which even offer their own mobile Internet hot spots, such as the Audi A3, which is the first to offer 4G LTE streaming Internet. That said, our experience with the Sorento has been positive so far, despite a general lack of tech toys. Though somewhat on the firm side, the seats have offered hours of comfort on long drives, with front passengers benefiting from their heating and cooling functions.
What About the Back?
The back seats, especially in crossovers with a third row of seating, can get compromised in terms of space. But during the times I've ended up perched in the back rolling phone calls or catching up on computer work, a few thoughtful features have made the experience pretty painless. For starters, spending prolonged amounts of time in the back seat can mean more sun exposure than I'd like, which makes the slide-up sunshades on the side windows a good way to block a decent amount of light.
The flip side? Due to some rough handling at the hands of our 2-year-old, the back seat was pulled off its rails and doesn't quite work right anymore, which we'll address in our next service visit. Another nice surprise about the Sorento's rear quarters is how far the 60/40 seat reclines, making for a relaxing spot for zoning out, especially with the panorama moonroof extended at night, offering a view of the stars.
Getting Down to Business
The previously mentioned lack of in-car Wi-Fi doesn't entirely keep the Sorento from hampering productivity when you're on the go. In fact, one particular feature, a built-in 115-volt inverter, can be a lifesaver for when your laptop needs power and you can't stop at the closest Starbucks to plug in.
The Sorento is also a fairly quiet space at freeway speeds, which helps productivity when you're cranking through emails and don't want to be distracted by road noise. And though there's no fold-out tray table (a la an airplane or certain high-end luxury sedans), there's a decent amount of space for stretching out and tapping away at your laptop, though you might need to ask the front passenger to move the seat a tad forward, as these are not quite stretch-limousine accommodations.
Bottom Line
It may not be a full-size, executive limo (such as a Cadillac Escalade or a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class), but our time with the 2014 Kia Sorento reveals that this Korean crossover can be a surprisingly pleasant place to conduct business, an increasingly common requirement when we're on the road. Your carpool (or significant other who doesn't mind driving) may or may not have a problem with you taking the back seat, plugging in and catching up on your work, but at the end of the day, the Sorento's flexible space and friendly features make it a great place to make use of your time on the road.

Amy Poehler is the latest comedian/actress to be publishing a book. The as-yet-untitled memoir will be published by It Books in 2014.
Poehler will write an "illustrated, non-linear diary," according to the Associated Press. There's more from It Books' news release: "An illustrated, non-linear diary full of humor and honesty and brimming with true stories, fictional anecdotes and life lessons, the book will be a unique and engaging experience from one of today's most talented and beloved stars."
Poehler is the versatile Saturday Night Live star who has gone on to anchor her own prime-time comedy, "Parks and Recreation," and appear in feature films like "Baby Mama" and the upcoming indie pic "A.C.O.D." She recently co-hosted the Golden Globe Awards with Tina Fey.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT| SAG 2013: Winners | Quotes | Photo Booth | Red carpet
Fey's memoir "Bossypants," a collection of essays, may have been inspiration for Poehler's book deal. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- the frightening man-arms cover, "Bossypants" became a bestseller.
In its wake, another comedian-actress scored a book deal. Lena Dunham's astonishingly high advance ($3.6 million or more) was for a memoir that will be about "dieting, about dressing, about friendship and the two existential crises I had before the age of 20."
While the terms of Poehler's memoir deal were not disclosed, its unusual format sounds like it may have potential. "Amy's intelligence, comedic genius, and care for her craft shines through everything she does, and I know that this book will be no exception," said Executive Editor Carrie Thornton. "To have the chance to work with an artist of this caliber is every editor's great hope, and I can't wait to see how this book evolves."

Brittany Palasik
Class of 2012
Major/Minor: Biology, Chemistry, Pre-Pharmacy
Before she had even graduated from Washington College, Brittany Palasik '12 was already enrolled at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.
The biology major is taking advantage of Washington College's dual-degree program in pharmacy, which allows her to enjoy all the benefits of a liberal arts experience while fulfilling the prerequisites for admission into UM's School of Pharmacy. At the conclusion of four years of study at University of Maryland campus in Baltimore City, Brittany will have earned a bachelor's degree from Washington College and a doctor of pharmacy degree (Pharm.D.) from University of Maryland—within seven years.
"It's truly amazing that I'm able to save a year of time and tuition expenses in completing an advanced degree," she says. "Everyone I've met in Maryland's pharmacy school already has an undergraduate degree and has taken one or two years off. WC's pre-pharmacy program is actually a planned curriculum that avoids duplication of effort. There were certain classes—like biochemistry and immunology—that I didn't have to take for my major at WC, because I'm taking them in pharmacy school."
The daughter of two pharmacists, Brittany discovered a passion for the sciences at a young age. "I especially enjoy the dynamic of the medical field, and I realized that a career in pharmacy could enable me to do something I love while also making a difference in my community," she says.
Brittany credits Martin Connaughton, associate professor of biology and her pre-pharmacy advisor, for keeping her on track. "It's really hard to do the 3:4 program without proper planning," Brittany says. "Dr. Connaughton helped me so much. He planned my entire schedule perfectly. After two five-course loads in the spring of my freshman and sophomore years, I only had to take three classes in my final semester at WC."
Now commuting to school in Baltimore City from her home in Severna Park, Brittany is happy with the choice she made. "I love chemistry, I love biology, I love working with people, and pharmacy is a great field for women," she says.

When Judge Susan Nelson ordered a second wave of mediation last week, most in the media were pessimistic. Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com and I chose to be optimistic.
And now Freeman has crapped all over that glimmer of hope.
Freeman reports, based on "brief telephone and text message interviews with people familiar with the talks" (at least Albert Breer will have company in jail), that neither side is serious about negotiating because each side believes it will win the first major legal skirmish regarding the question of whether the lockout will involuntarily be lifted.
The players presumably think they'll win before Judge Nelson, and the owners presumably like their chances before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, where 13 of the 16 judges were appointed by Republican administrations, which in a loose red state/blue state sense will make them more inclined to side with the league over the players on the threshold legals issues relating to whether the courts can enjoin a lockout and whether the NFLPA* effectively decertified.
Regardless of who wins, we all lose. Here's why.
To achieve long-term labor peace, the two sides need to feel equally good — or equally bad — about their partnership. With each side intent on swinging for the fences, someone will end up having to do a bad deal. Which means that it'll be a short-term deal. Which means that we'll be right back in this situation again in three or four years, if not sooner.
That's why now is the perfect time for each side to recognize that they can lose, that in many ways they already have, and thus they they should do a fair deal now instead of a crappy deal later.
Complicating matters, as one source with general knowledge of the dynamics but no actual knowledge of the talks told PFT (that's how you stay out of jail, fellas), is that NFLPA* executive director DeMaurice Smith has painted himself into a corner by taking two extreme positions: (1) demanding 10 years of audited financial statements; and (2) calling the March 11 offer from the owners as the worst deal in the history of sports.
In order to steer this thing in the right direction, Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan needs to acknowledge this reality, and then to come up with a strategy for helping Smith ease away from those positions without looking lame in the eyes of his constituents.
More importantly, Magistrate Judge Boylan and Judge Nelson need to realize that the two sides aren't truly taking the mediation seriously, and they need to order that all parties attend and participate — each of the 10 named plaintiffs and each of the 32 owners. They may not like it. But the judges shouldn't care, and neither should the fans.
The players and the owners currently are playing Russian roulette with the interests of the game, all in the name of getting more for themselves. The fans who have yet to lose interest should be very pissed about that.
And we've got a feeling that plenty of those fans will make their feelings known on April 28, 29, and 30, whenever anyone — Commissioner or incoming players — steps onto the stage at Radio City Music Hall.

Get them all to level 80 with priority, if time runs out, on getting DK to 85 in time for MoP launch.
Seven Alchemists
Four JC
Two Herbalists
One of every other profession
Currently it looks like this:
Destro Warlock 67
Blood DK 60
Prot Warrior 43
Resto Shaman 42
Resto Druid 29
Prot Paladin 20
So a lot of levelling ahead, I managed to get honoured with a guild last week and bought all the helm/back boa gear. I transmog my BOA gear (it costs a lot because it is based on the vendor value) so that I can I blow up unsuspecting people in BG's, they think I'm using bad gear because of the looks and then they get two shot!
Using the mailbox it was very easy to move all BOA gear from my main account horde side to my second account (same battle.net) alliance side. I've been posting transmog, recipe's and pets on alliance side without too much resistance and I am looking forward to locking horns with some different people in different markets in MoP. I've already started trying to snap up some cheap materials ready for profession power levelling once my toons dings 75.
It's not all about stockpiling materials, now is a great time to fill in those missing professions and level those classes you've always wanted to play.
Update 15th June
Lock 67
War 81
Shaman 58
Druid 29
Paladin 70
Hunter 65
Mage 75
Levelling going well but 75-80 goes really slow even with full cata gear at 77/78. Gathering mats for another professions weekend to get Alchemy, JC, Scribe all up to 525. Will work on skin/lw on DK when I get to 80.

On Monday, the NFL decided not to suspend Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh for putting his foot into a body part that is suspended from the lower waist of Texans quarterback Matt Schaub.
As of Tuesday, no decision has been made regarding a possible fine.
It's not unusual. As NFL spokesman Greg Aiello explains it, the fine letters typically go out, via email, on Wednesday or Thursday.
Though Merton Hanks, who makes the initial assessment of potential fines, opted not to impose a suspension on Suh, the guy who was suspended two games last year for stomping on Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith could still be fined.
Really, he should be. At a time when players routinely fork over five-figure amounts for illegal hits that aren't applied intentionally, how can the league not fine Suh for a deliberate shove of his foot into the crotch of Schaub? Unless Suh's leg had a Constanza-style spontaneous arm spasm, it was no accident.
And unless the NFL wants to launch a debate regarding the fairness of fining players for football hits that inadvertently go too high or too low and not fining players who engage in intentional misconduct, Suh and Saints defensive lineman Brodrick Bunkley will be fined.This video is no longer available.

A permit renewal issued under this section shall not be retroactive for the conduct of any business activity during the period of any lapse prior to the issuance of the renewal, and this section shall not be construed to excuse the conduct of any business activity without a current and valid permit.(d) The refusal of a director to accept or process the filing of a late filed permit renewal application under this section shall be subject to appeal in the same manner provided by the law governing issuance of the permit.(e) The provisions of this section shall not apply in any instance where the late filing or processing of the permit is prohibited by a state or federal law or regulation that supersedes the operation of this section.(f) To the extent that any law regarding the issuance of a permit conditions the issuance of the permit upon the existence or nonexistence of another permit for a premises conducting the same or another activity within a specified proximity, a lapsed permit shall be considered to still exist during the grace period authorized under this section and until the resolution of any late renewal application that is filed under this section for the limited purpose of determining the existence of other permit holders in the processing of any application for an original permit.(Ord. No. 95-868, § 1, 8-9-95)
In un-zoned Houston, our city government is more concerned with deed restriction enforcement than most other municipalities. To obtain a building permit or life safety compliance certificate, you have to sign an affidavit stating that you are not violating any deed restrictions. Many managers are unaware of the existence of deed restrictions for their property, and face a dilemma each time they pull a permit. A copy of the deed restrictions should have been obtained with the deed when the property was purchased. Consult your attorney before signing if you are unsure about deed restrictions. You may also obtain a copy of your deed restrictions by contacting your County Clerk's office.


text: Hello folks, I had originally followed the tutorial here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-wheezy-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 Which of course set me up with apache. I have however become real interested in Nginx. So I would like to utilize the tutorial here: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-wheezy-nginx-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p4 Now in the Nginx tutorial it states: " If Apache2 is already installed on the system, stop it now... /etc/init.d/apache2 stop ... and remove Apache's system startup links: update-rc.d -f apache2 remove Start nginx afterwards: /etc/init.d/nginx start (If both Apache2 and nginx are installed, the ISPConfig 3 installer will ask you which one you want to use - answer nginx in this case. If only one of these both is installed, ISPConfig will do the necessary configuration automatically.) My questions: 1. Are those above the only required steps? 2. Should I reformat and start from new or just go through Nginx tutorial verbatim and then make sure Ispconfig uses Nginx? 3. Can you switch from Apache to Nginx once ISPConfig 3 is already installed and has sites and clients? As always folks thanks for the advice and help, Scott

Senators object to transfers from Conn. prison
DANBURY — Eleven U.S. Senators from northeastern states are criticizing the federal Bureau of Prisons over plans to turn the women's prison in Danbury into a facility for men.
In a letter dated Friday to Charles E. Samuels, Jr., the bureau's director, the senators say the plan would leave the region without any federal prison beds for women and create a hardship for the inmates' families.
The senators say the plan calls for moving up to 1,000 women from Danbury to a prison in Aliceville, Ala. The transfers are slated to begin this month and be completed by December.
Chris Burke, a spokesman for the bureau of prisons, says the move was needed because of a shortage of beds for men in the system.

This year's flu season has been unusually potent, but representatives of the Southington-Plainville Health District said there was no need for panic.
The spread of flu is common during the winter months, but recent reports have indicated a season more severe than normal. The city of Boston even declared a state of emergency because so many residents were ill. The state's Department of Public Health has concluded that "influenza activity in Connecticut has been classified geographically as widespread," noting that flu-related visits to state hospitals had increased by about 10 percent this year, higher than the 8 percent reported for the last two years.
Health Director Shane Lockwood said the situation in Southington and Plainville was not an emergency and recommended that residents take advantage of flu shots.
"Locally, we're not anywhere near that," Lockwood said. "I think the flu shots do help keep it under control. There are benefits for all age groups, not just the very young and very old."
Plainville Town Manager Robert Lee, who sits on the regional health district board, said the officials did not consider this year's flu an emergency. However, he noted that Plainville in particular was vulnerable to the flu because of a large elderly population and dense areas with houses close to one another. He commented that Southington, a larger town, was "more spread out."
"We're keeping a close eye on it," Lee said of the flu. "At this point in time, other than monitoring it and recommending flu shots, we're taking a wait-and-see approach."
In addition to flu shots, officials recommended that people cover their coughs and wash their hands very often in order to help prevent spreading the illness. Lockwood also said those dealing with the flu should sleep as much as possible and try to avoid going into work.
However, this can pose a problem for many workers. In January, the sick time of many workers has just been reset and those who catch the flu are concerned about using it so early in the calendar year when it has to last for another eleven months. Workers with no sick time at all often feel compelled to show up for duty rather than give up some of their pay.
"That's something businesses need to think about," Lockwood said. "It only takes one employee who gets sick and feels like he has to come to work to infect all the other employees."
More information on the flu's spread within Connecticut can be found at www.ct.gov/dph.

ICD-10 Diagnosis Code S93.325A
Dislocation of tarsometatarsal joint of left foot, init
Diagnosis Code S93.325A
Short Description: Dislocation of tarsometatarsal joint of left foot, init
Long Description: Dislocation of tarsometatarsal joint of left foot, initial encounter
This is the 2019 version of the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code S93.325A
Valid for Submission
The code S93.325A is valid for submission for HIPAA-covered transactions.
Code Classification
- Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00–T98)
Version 2019 Billable Code
Information for Medical Professionals
- 838.03 - Disloc tarsometatars-cl (Approximate Flag)
Information for Patients
Dislocations are joint injuries that force the ends of your bones out of position. The cause is often a fall or a blow, sometimes from playing a contact sport. You can dislocate your ankles, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows and jaw. You can also dislocate your finger and toe joints. Dislocated joints often are swollen, very painful and visibly out of place. You may not be able to move it.
A dislocated joint is an emergency. If you have one, seek medical attention. Treatment depends on which joint you dislocate and the severity of the injury. It might include manipulations to reposition your bones, medicine, a splint or sling, and rehabilitation. When properly repositioned, a joint will usually function and move normally again in a few weeks. Once you dislocate a shoulder or kneecap, you are more likely to dislocate it again. Wearing protective gear during sports may help prevent dislocations.

Foot Injuries and Disorders
Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. No wonder a lot of things can go wrong. Here are a few common problems:
- Bunions - hard, painful bumps on the big toe joint
- Corns and calluses - thickened skin from friction or pressure
- Plantar warts - warts on the soles of your feet
- Fallen arches - also called flat feet
Ill-fitting shoes often cause these problems. Aging and being overweight also increase your chances of having foot problems.

ICD-10 Footnotes
General Equivalence Map Definitions
The ICD-10 and ICD-9 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
- Approximate Flag - The approximate flag is on, indicating that the relationship between the code in the source system and the code in the target system is an approximate equivalent.
- No Map Flag - The no map flag indicates that a code in the source system is not linked to any code in the target system.
- Combination Flag - The combination flag indicates that more than one code in the target system is required to satisfy the full equivalent meaning of a code in the source system.
Present on Admission
The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement.

As of this writing, more than 19,000 Tumblr users have signed a Change.org petition asking the blogging network to reinstate searches for blogs containing porn and other adult content.
We first saw news of the petition on The Daily Dot.
Recently, Tumblr blocked users from searching for blogs posted under hashtag categories like #NSFW (Not Safe For Work), #Gay, #Porn, and so on.
Also at play: Many in the Tumblr community are still upset Yahoo bought the blogging network, and see the blocked "NSFW" searches as the first sign of a big scary corporate entity noodling around with an established independent online community in order to make a few extra bucks.
In a post on the company's staff blog, Tumblr CEO David Karp attempted to clear up why Tumblr is blocking adult content from searches. He said app stores like Google and Apple don't allow pornographic content in their apps, so blocking such searches on the iPhone and Android apps saves Tumblr from being pulled from those app stores.
Karp has a point. Apple has been especially vigilant about removing apps that make it easy to find pornographic content, even if that content is user-generated. Most recently, Twitter's video app Vine had to block searches for categories like porn and sex so it could stay in Apple's App Store.
And finally, there's a small concession from Tumblr. The service has simplified its "NSFW" settings so blogs won't appear if someone is browsing the site in Tumblr's "safe mode," which automatically filters out adult content.

Despite offering a full suite of products to help boost the productivity of employees who work from home, Hewlett-Packard's (HP) management is now telling company staff to do as it says, not as it does.
Earlier this month, All Things Digital released parts of an HP internal memo to employees that strongly encourages telecommuting employees to get back to the office.
"During this critical turnaround period, HP needs all hands on deck," the memo read. "We recognize that in the past, we may have asked certain employees to work from home for various reasons. We now need to build a stronger culture of engagement and collaboration, and the more employees we get into the office, the better company we will be."
Productivity and leadership expert Mary Kelly said HP's view on telecommuting suggests the company has a management problem or a cultural-integration problem.
"Either way, they are clearly not getting the results they want from their employees, or they are trying to create a perception for their shareholders that they are getting more from their employees," Kelly told BusinessNewsDaily.
While telecommuting options might be growing in popularity, HP is far from the only big-name company cutting back on flexibility. Last year, Yahoo eliminated its work-from-home program, while Best Buy cut employees' right to choose if they wanted to telecommute, instead putting those decisions in the hands of company managers.
Kelly recommended that businesses thinking about eliminating or cutting back telecommuting options should reconsider.
"Done right, telecommuting saves money, time and resources for both the company and the employee," Kelly said. "Telecommuting, even for a few days a week, can be a huge benefit to those employees who demonstrate that they are just as, if not more, effective working from home as they are at work."
Jon Eggleton, chief marketing officer for turnstone, which offers furniture solutions for small businesses, believes there is no clear-cut right or wrong telecommuting policy.
"Through our study of work, we've come to understand that every company is different and must design a work strategy unique to its challenges and culture," Eggleton said. "Companies of different sizes and different industries may approach remote-work policies differently."
For example, a small technology company with limited resources for things like office space and relocation fees may prefer to have employees stationed remotely, and may even view it as a competitive advantage in recruiting, Eggleton said. On the other hand, a large financial company may prefer to have employees in the office on a daily basis to collaborate and meet with clients.
"Whatever the situation, companies simply need to ensure that the policies make sense for the type of work employees are doing and align with the company's vision and goals," Eggleton said.
Sara Sutton Fell, founder and CEO of FlexJobs, said research has shown that both employers and employees see numerous benefits of working from home.
She points to studies from Stanford University and Pennsylvania State University that found telecommuting, flexible scheduling and results-only work environments increase productivity, reduce turnover and help companies save money, while employees benefit from reduced stress, better work-life balance and more overall satisfaction.
"All kinds of people want work flexibility — women, men, parents, millennials, retirees, freelancers, military spouses and many others — and for many different reasons," Fell said.
While the benefits of working from home are well documented, Eggleton said, it does have at least one downside: Employees who are separated from their teams may have a more difficult time building networks with co-workers and finding a sense of purpose within their work.
"These employees also lose the option to pull up a chair at a neighbor's desk and work through an idea that pops into their head," he said. "And while remote workers may not spend their days alone in a home office, there is an added value of being around people who understand your work."
Eggleton said any company considering instituting a telecommuting program needs to first make sure that type of policy fits in with what the company is trying to accomplish.
"Determining whether the right culture exists (or could exist with the proper commitment) for remote work is really the first step," Eggleton told BusinessNewsDaily in an email. "While the recent focus has been on remote workers themselves, the truth is that an environment where colleagues in the office every day support their remote brethren is critical."
Eggleton said this type of culture includes things like scheduling meetings with appropriate technology, like video-conferencing platforms, for those who are not physically present, as well as establishing frequent communication patterns so that remote workers do not become isolated.
"When these factors are present, any remote-work policy can become much more self-managed by those who are affected by it," Eggleton said.
Kelly believes it's important for employers to get trusted employees to help craft policies in order to get company wide buy-in.
"Make sure those selected employees are aware that this is a mutual benefit, and structure accountability," Kelly said.
She said the best telecommuting programs are those that have clearly articulated roles and responsibilities and that expect results out of their employees.
A new initiative aims to unify and amplify support for companies in favor of telecommuting and other flexible policies.
Created by Fell, 1 Million for Work Flexibility is a national coalition of individuals, companies and organizations that believe flexible work options benefit both employers and workers. Those involved include Working Mother magazine, Thomson Reuters, Mom Corps, the National Association for Female Executives, WorldatWork and UnitedHealth Group.
As part of the new initiative, 1 Million for Work Flexibility is reaching out to workers who want flexible work options but aren't offered them.
"We are excited to provide a way for these individuals to show their support for work flexibility in a way that can make a positive difference for everyone," Fell said.
The group plans to offer ideas for people to get involved in promoting work flexibility, post the latest news and trends, showcase personal stories, and make it easier to get involved in local and national events, legislation, petitions and other efforts supporting the advancement of flexible work options.

Yesterday, I speculated that President Obama will use his state of the union speech primarily to prepare the battle field for upcoming fights pertaining to the budget. With the sequester looming and a debt-ceiling deadline not far behind, Obama will want to re-introduce tax increases into the debt reduction debate (it had occupied the prime spot in that debate until the end of 2012). In that way, he can shed (in the public's mind) his status as protector of big government and regain his status as the enemy of privilege.
But these speeches run long, and Obama will have plenty of other things to talk about. High on the list, almost surely, will be gun control and immigration reform — the big-ticket legislative items of the day. In the case of gun control, Obama knows Congress will not pass anything significant. So his goal will be to fire up the base while sounding as reasonable as possible to the middle.
Immigration is an altogether different matter. Obama understands that Congress is close to passing an historic measures that will tilt the political battle field in favor of left-liberalism for decades. There is little more helpful in a political battle than millions of new troops.
His goal, then, will be to keep the momentum for immigration reform going. He will do so, I expect, through naked appeals to Hispanic voters. Obama will be daring Republicans to say "no," with the expectation that they will lack the nerve to do so.
Obama's expectation is reasonable. The Republicans have tapped Marco Rubio to give respond to his speech, and Rubio has already said, in effect, "yes" to a path to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens.
By designating Rubio as the "rebuttal" speaker, the Republican establishment is also saying "yes." In my view it is consenting to the suicide of conservatism. At least it's for a good cause though — rewarding the willful defiance of U.S. law.
Tonight may be that rare instance in which it is more pleasant for me to listen to a left-wing Democrat's state of the union speech than to the Republican response. Maybe I should listen only to Rubio's Spanish version, which I won't understand but likely will be easy on the ears.
UPDATE: Rand Paul will also give a response to the president's speech. That speech might not be tough for me to take, provided that Paul, out of deference to his expected run for the presidency, doesn't say what he really thinks.

Spikenard - Worship & Praise, a unique blend of pure olive oil from Israel with an essential oil base of Spikenard.
Spikenard, a rare and costly fragrant oil, was used by Mary of Bethany to anoint the head and feet of the Messiah two days before His death, as recorded in John 12:3: "Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment." It speaks of the Bride's extravagant adoration of and intimacy with the Bridegroom, in total abandonment, without regard to cost. We at ABBA call Spikenard "The Fragrance of the Bride", for it symbolizes the Bride who has made herself ready.
Song of Sol 1:12 "While the king sits at his table, my spikenard sends forth its fragrance."

Had kites I've had to tweak a bit but all with bridles and I think they set them up 'tame' from the factory so I've done things like; adjust rear lines to fly on shorter depower or lengthen them to unhook better etc.
Never had a kite wonky though and my kites for the last two years have all been Airush Razors that are perfect out the bag and the 11/9/7 all fly on the exact same bar.
For a C kite to be wonky must be shoddy build as I could understand bridles/lines being a little out and maybe the aggregation of small defects can add up to slight steering issues, but with a C?

HPC in the Automotive Industry
Giorgio Rizzoni, Director, Center for Automotive Research
The educational needs for future generations of automotive engineers will certainly have to include, in many cases, a greater sophistication in the understanding of high performance computing.
Today it is already true that more routine computerated design, the kind of things that you can do on a desktop computer, have become a natural part of the vocabulary of any engineers, whether someone involved in electromagnetic or mechanical design.
Someday it will have to be that high performance computing will also be similarly part of the vocabulary of most design engineers who, even though they may not have to be experts, will have to understand the implications of these types of studies, and how to best use the outcome and solutions provided by these tools to improve their engineering design.
High performance computing has undoubtedly made the automotive industry more competitive over the last perhaps 10-15 years, I think high performance computing has become the standard now in approaching fluid flow and combustion related problems and stress analysis, and reliability predictions.
I think that the potential of high performance computing is not even close to having been reached by the automotive industry, and I think this is an area in which much improvement can be brought.

Maps, traffic, and location data provider NAVTEQ has announced the availability of VisioDevKit 1.1 from Visioglobe on the NAVTEQ Network for Developers (NN4D) website. The release of this SDK allows mobile application developers to create apps for outdoor and indoor navigation use.
The VisioDevKit 1.1 is a real-time 2D and 3D rendering engine and SDK created by France-based Visioglobe. The software itself uses NAVTEQ's visual content portfolio. The VisioDevKit then helps mobile developers create applications with outdoor 3D map rendering effects, which will ultimately enable consumers to more easily orient themselves in unfamiliar or complex situations.
Version 1.1 further upgrades this functionality to support indoor navigation using the recently launched NAVTEQ Destination Maps product. Through the integration of Destination Maps with VisioDevKit, application developers can calculate "indoor routes" directly from the SDK, resulting in more precise guidance for consumers in locations such as large shopping malls.
Destination Maps consists of a unique set of interior map attributes with detailed place data to enable users to efficiently navigate and explore interior spaces. With VisioDevKit utilizing Destination Maps, location-based apps can move beyond streets and sidewalks navigation and into exploration of and routing through complex interior spaces.
VisioDevKit 1.1 contains developer demos using sample NAVTEQ map data and content to allow developers the opportunity for hands on experience. VisioDevKit integrates sample data from NAVTEQ's Enhanced 3D City Models for Munich and an indoor map of a shopping mall in the United States from NAVTEQ Destination Maps.
"We worked closely with Visioglobe during the development of VisioDevKit, providing them with technical support, sample street and indoor map data, and 3D visual content," said Marc Naddell, vice president, Partner and Developer Programs, NAVTEQ.
"VisioDevKit is an SDK that's perfect for developers who prefer to work at a higher level of interactivity, allowing them to focus on the functionality and the user interface of the application, and how the application uses and interacts with the NAVTEQ data," said Hector Briceno, vice president of engineering at Visioglobe. "The application developer does not need to have intimate knowledge of 3D graphics and rendering techniques, as Visioglobe has already optimized the graphics rendering of the SDK to work efficiently with underlying graphics acceleration technology on today's mobile devices. In addition, VisioDevKit incorporates the ability to use location application programming interfaces — positioning technologies suitable for indoor navigation."

2014 Honda Accord Coupe Offered with Limited-Edition Performance Package
- Limited-edition Honda Factory Performance package
- Upgraded wheels, sport suspension and aerodynamic elements included
- Available for $4,620 on Honda Accord Coupe V6
Honda introduced a new, limited-edition package available only on the Accord Coupe V6. Called Honda Factory Performance (HFP), the $4,620 equipment group includes upgrades such as a sport suspension and an aero kit, and is aimed at both better handling and a more distinctive appearance. Honda will limit sales of the 2013 HFP Accord to 500 units.
Honda says its North American racing company tested the HFP-equipped car alongside a stock Honda Accord Coupe V6 and found the HFP to be both quicker and more stable on a track. Honda says the HFP Accord's lowered, sport-tuned suspension contributes to better handling. Bigger wheels (19-inch) wearing stickier summer tires surely help, too.
The Honda Factory Performance package brings distinctive styling as well. For the exterior, there's a deck-lid spoiler, underbody spoilers for the front, rear and sides, and an HFP badge for the trunk. Inside, the package adds red illumination and floor mats with HFP badges.
Because the package is factory-approved and engineered to be compatible with the Honda Accord Coupe, it's covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty when installed at the time of sale. The package may provide a better choice than aftermarket performance upgrades for another reason, too: Its cost can be financed with the new vehicle's loan.
HFP is dealer-installed, with dealers charging separately for installation. The lowest MSRP for a V6-powered Honda Accord Coupe is $30,350 before destination charge. Add HFP, and the price is nearly $35,000, not including the $790 destination charge and any installation charge for HFP.
Most items on the list are available as stand-alone options; the sport suspension is the notable exception. But buying the HFP package is less expensive than specifying the special wheels, spoilers and interior illumination as individual accessories.
What it means to you: For less than $5,000, the limited-edition HFP brings better performance to the 2013 Honda Accord Coupe V6 with a sport suspension, 19-in wheels and summer tires.

A neat idea to get those lost travel bugs out of your cache inventory. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...2-94e7818cbaa8
A neat idea to get those lost travel bugs out of your cache inventory. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...2-94e7818cbaa8
Wow. That a lot of travel bugs on the list.
Blazing Troll
Sadly enough after seeing this, I have placed two TB's on the site. I will be in mourning for some time over losing Risky Business - he never made it past the cache I placed him in
Two of our 3 travel bugs are in limbo. One was taken by someone who logged in at the cache and took the TB, but never logged in on line and never took it off the cache web site. I was sent their caching name by someone who followed and have emailed them, with no reply yet. The other one was grabbed at a cache event in Tennessee in June and hasn't been posted since. Both had logged a fair number of miles, but it's still disappointing to think that they're out of action for good.
Bummer for those whose TB never made it past one or two caches
I feel bad because a couple of the TB's in the Graveyard were ones that we were the last ones to place in a cache. One I know was picked up by a cacher who is now banned speaks for itself - but the other just sems to have dropped off the face earth.
It is disconcerting to know that you were the last to have logged the bug, however...
It seems that the old TB Graveyard is disabled, does anyone know of another Graveyard or place to put the dead TBs?
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
I don't write off TBs for a long time. Do appreciate folks owning a cache - makring them missing however so they are properly marked.
TBs and coins, once released are beyond our control, it is but a stroke of luck they continue to travel. Be it a cache or an event - neither one is better than the other to ensure the longevity of a traveler. I have had some good luck and some are missing too........maybe some day they will reappear.
These are out of the country but I see others from the states have used them
here this fall! Really!
He's in the Navy, and was serving a 6-week deployment on the USS Fort McHenry as a photographer for the African Partnership Station off the coast of west Africa. Crossing the equator is a big deal in the Navy, and once you done so, you're classified as a "Shellback". But a person who has crossed the equator at the prime meridian is classified as a "Diamond Shellback". Ship commanders make an effort to cross these points, and he was onboard when they crossed this fall.
Sadly, he's not a geocacher, so I doubt if he dropped off any TB's. LOL!

An our customer has hosting setup in more than one server, so when he need to add an mysql database would very useful choose on what server create the new db (in order to have the mysql database locally on the same server where the website it's actived). But if our customer make login on his panel (with the credentials that we had provide to him) he can't choose on what server the mysql database will be activated because the system took the default server of the profile of the customer. Our questione is: is there a way to let the customer choose on what server setup the new mysql database? Thank you, as usual.

Simply Fab: Band-Aid Blister Block Stick
Band-Aid Activ-Flex Blister Block Stick, $7, is the latest and greatest invention for blister prevention! It's the end all be all excuse for buying ridiculously expensive and uncomfortable shoes. Ahh, and this also happens to be great for your wedding day because let's face it: you can't really break in your wedding shoes without running the risk of getting them dirty!
This new product is an invisible shield that you swipe over the areas on your feet where you would normally get a blister. It actually looks kinda like a deodorant stick. The emollient coats and protects the skin from being rubbed raw by the friction of your stiff shoe. And, because it's invisible, it's safe to wear with open toe shoes and it isn't messy so it won't damage your shoes.
