John Mayer headlining Summerfest July 6
Mere hours after announcing the Eagles would headline Summerfest's final night, officials with the music festival have announced yet another act for the Big Gig: John Mayer will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on July 6.
Mayer announced his summer tour in a Google+ Hangout with fans Thursday night. He released a new album, "Born and Raised," last year, his first to stay in the top spot on the Billboard charts for more than a week. But he had to cancel a tour in 2012 after a granuloma in his throat was discovered. It was the second time in two years it surfaced, but Mayer underwent a second surgery and last January was able to sing on stage for the first time since April 2011. »Read Full Article(6)

Dear Heloise: I've been reading the hints about lending books.
When I get a new book, I, too, put my name and phone number on the first page.
After I have read the book, I put a rating number (1 to 10) in a circle next to my name (helps me remember whether I liked it or not).
I then fill out a 3-by-5 index card listing the title, author and my circled rating number.
This card goes into the book.
When I lend the book out, I put the date and the person's name on the index card, which then goes into a file box.
When two or three weeks have gone by, I call to see whether the person enjoyed the book.
My friends know that I pass the books around, so this reminder tells them to read it quickly or return it. - Lynn B. Huron, Oak Ridge, N.J.
We have gotten a lot of responses from these columns.
It seems a lot of people have issues when books are loaned out.
And here's one more comment from Lori, via e-mail: "This is for the reader who lends out books and doesn't know how to tactfully get them back.
"In addition to putting a note inside the front cover, I attach a sticky note on the last page so that when they are done reading it, they will remember who gave it to them." - Heloise
Here are two good hints from Chris G. of Lincoln, Calif.:
If the paper received in junk mail is not printed on both sides, I cut it into four pieces, attach it together with a large paper clip and use it for scratch paper.
When cleaning spots from my carpet, instead of getting down on my knees, I put a thick, white sock on my foot, spray the spot and clean it up by rubbing my foot on it. Saves the knees and works wonderfully.
Dear Heloise: I read your smart-ideas column.
Every day after receiving the newspaper and reading your column, I cut the article out and glue it to a little scrapbook I have made especially for your handy hints!
Keep on writing, and I
will keep on reading, learning and cutting them out. What a way to keep life organized! - Anna Victoria Reich, Stafford, Va.
Send a money-saving or time-saving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 210-HELOISE or e-mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com. I can't answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column.

text: 'This effort,' the president cautioned, 'will not be completed overnight,' but he emphasized that it is important for 'the American people to know that the work has begun.' To that end, he announced 'a series of concrete and substantial reforms' that he intended either to adopt himself under his authority as president or, where appropriate, to call upon Congress to enact through legislation. How good a beginning has he made? I am in a reasonably good position to weigh in on that question, because I had the privilege of serving as one of the five members of the Review Group that President Obama appointed in August to advise him on these issues.

[singlepic id=585 w=320 h=240 float=left]
Four months ago I was sporting quite the pregnancy bod. I gained 50lb with Little Bean, and while I'm still working off the last 15, I've been feeling pretty good in my post-baby body until….
Bathing Suit Season.
*cue the dun dun duuuun here*
DAMN what is it about wearing a bathing suit that reduces me to a self-conscious 17 year-old little girl?
Maybe it's because I was a self-conscious 17 year-old girl who would refuse to be seen in anything but a big baggie t-shirt and umbros (remember those?) I've always dreaded wearing a bathing suit. Always.
Knowing that all my current suits were not going to fit this slighter larger ass and thicker midsection, I ordered a new suit on a whim a week before our beach vacation.
Thankfully, I just happened to receive a Lands' End catalog with discounted swimwear in time. Leafing through I was happy to see an array of Swim Dresses more than half off.
I ordered the Women's Regular All-over Control Slender Grecian Swimdress in black. The only color they had left.
Honestly, it is AMAZING! At first I was worried. Trying it on was quite the challenge–like stuffing sausage into a second skin, but once on… WOW! Very flattering! At least I thought it was and really, that's all that matters. A comfortable mom is a happy mom, especially on the beach. 🙂
Here are a few pics of the suit and me in it.
Women's Regular All-over Control Slender Grecian Swimdress 1 of 4This is the model from the Lands End site.
LIttle Bean and I 2 of 4The suit is quite functional. I felt great with it on while "wearing" bean.
Little Bean, Big Brother and I 3 of 4I know you can't really see the suit but I love this pic! 🙂
Me in all my glory 4 of 4It's tight but flattering. Easy access to the boobs too. 😉
Do you have a favorite post-baby suit? Please share!

In the last few weeks, Ubuntu has reached a major milestone with the first flash sales of the BQ Aquarius - Ubuntu Edition. This is only the beginning of seeing Ubuntu on a wider selection of phones and tablets, and thanks to an incredibly enthusiast porting community, more devices have been part of that show. Some of these skilled porters have even set up their own image server to provide updates over-the-air!
To ease the porting process, the Porting Guide has been updated to reflect the current procedure of enabling new devices. From setting up your dev environment, to configuring the kernel and debugging AppArmor, it covers the main points of making a fully working port. Currently focusing on AOSP ports, it will be extended in due time to detail CyanogenMod-specific processes.
If you are interested in porting, please make sure you provide feedback on any issues and roadblocks that could arise, either on Launchpad or on the ubuntu-phone mailing-list.
Thank you and good work, fellow devices adventurers!Read more

Mildred 'Milly' Toldness
Mildred "Milly" Irene Toldness, age 95, was born to Arthur and Mary Ellen Thompson on November 17, 1918. Milly passed away on Dec. 27, 2013, at Northern Montana Hospital of natural causes.
She grew up on a farm in Red Rock Coulee north of Havre. Milly attended school in Havre, graduating from Havre High School in 1936.
After high school she worked as a mother's helper and a maid until enrolling in nursing at the Sacred Heart Hospital in Havre. Milly graduated from nursing school in 1942. She married Robert (Bob) Toldness on Sept. 24, 1942, and moved to Salt Lake City to be near her new husband, who was stationed nearby during WWII.
After returning to Havre, Milly worked as a registered nurse and was a private duty nurse for many years. She finished her career as the charge nurse at the Lutheran Home of the Good Shepard.
After retirement, she and Bob moved to Coolidge, Ariz. and spent 25 years playing golf, socializing, and basking in the warm sun, often spending summers back in Havre to be near their grandchildren.
Milly moved back to Havre to the Eagles Manor in 2001 after Bob died in 2000. She remained there until her death. She made lots of friends wherever she was and will be greatly missed by them and especially her family.
Milly is survived by daughter Myrna (Jim) White of North Bend, Ore .; son Loren (Marie) Toldness of Havre; grandchildren Craig (Alexandra) White, Christine White, Jesse Toldness, and Rachel Toldness; and her great granddaughter Margot White.
Milly was truly generous. She was always doing things for others and her interests reflected that. She loved to cook for her family, and led exercise classes for her fellow residents at the Eagles Manor. As a nurse, a member of the community, a mother and grandmother, Milly was always caring for those around her. Milly always tried to see the best in everyone and to make the best of everything. She devoted to her family, who loved and appreciated her and tried to support her as she supported them.
Milly was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Earl, Warren, and Merritt (Tommy); and sister Lillian Holsapple.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014, at the First Lutheran Church with Pastor Michael O'Hearn officiating. Memorials are suggested to the First Lutheran Church (P.O. Box 66, Havre) or the Havre Salvation Army (328 3rd Ave.) Services and arrangements have been entrusted to Holland and Bonine Funeral Home.
Sorry for the loss of your mother Loren, may she rest in peace and god comfort you and your family at this time.

This is a shorter version of a commentary by Paola Bacchetta, Fatima El-Tayeb and Jin Haritaworn that appears in Environment and Planning D: Society & Space, volume 33, issue 5. The full version is accessible here, with subscription.
Our intervention engages with Queer People of Colour (QpoC) positionalities as a valuable lens through which to rethink the racial and colonial imaginaries of subjects and space in Europe. We bring together race, gender, class, colonialism and sexuality, inseparably, in a shared analytic. We address multiple erasures: of genders, sexualities and race from discussions of space; of QPoC in Europe from discussions of European subjects, race and space; and from US-centric QPoC studies. Europeans are generally presumed to be homogeneously white, while racialized subjects are generally presumed to be uniformly straight and cis. Rarely is space understood as a formation that is co-constituted through sexualities with other relations of power. Our intervention radically rethinks urban environments in their relation to race, subjects and agencies. It also puts QPoC in Europe on the map.
We recognize that the categories 'queer' and 'of colour' are contingent, contested and unfinished. They can reinforce US-centricity and erase differences among gender and sexually non-conforming collectivities anywhere. When the term 'people of colour' travels to Europe it sometimes keeps Europe white and the US hegemonic, and dismisses local antiracist and anti-imperialist struggles as inauthentic and derivative. Similarly, 'queer' often circulates in ways that universalize white colonial genders and sexualities, while erasing all others. Yet "queer" entered the academy and transnational flows as an alternative to homonormative identifyers largely via working-class dykes of colour in the U.S. (Anzaldúa 2007; Bacchetta, Falquet and Alarcon 2012; Bacchetta 2002). The assimilation of 'queer' (and often 'queer of colour') into white-dominated academic formations in Europe often leaves representations of racialized people as deficient, inferior and disentitled to life chances due to their failed genders and heterosexualities, in place (El-Tayeb 2003, Haritaworn 2005).
For this project, despite these indisputable problems, we mobilize both "queer" and "people of colour" to describe radical interventions of QPoC in a Europe from which they remain violently excluded. While identities and allegiances are multilayered and shifting, today the notion of "queer people of colour" allows European QPoC activists, and allows us as scholars coming out of this context, to trace connections that are more complex than dominant US- and Eurocentric narratives imply.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Hardscaping' started by clcare2, Nov 15, 2010.
Is there a calculator available for base and sand??
if you have Microsoft Excel, you can make your own.
1 ton of concrete sand will cover 200 SF at 1-inch depth.
For aggregate, lets say 5" depth - I use this:
So if you have a 20x20 patio with a 5" base it'll look like this:
20x20x5 = 2000 divided by 12 (converts the inches) divided by 27 (converts to cu yds) = 6.17 x 1.2 (converts to tons) x 1.5 (to factor for compaction) = 11.11 tons
A formula my estimating system uses. been doin it this way from day one. works for us
Construction Master calculators are pretty helpful as well.
they can convert feet to inches and yards, square and cubic. areas of circles etc etc. all the math functions built in. as well as the Pythagorean theorem for squaring up.
check home depot or amazon.
this is my formula it has always worked almost perfect for me.
Length x width x inches of base / 240 if you want tons multiplied by 1.5 this accounts for compaction
the 1.5 for compaction was the issue. Thanks.

For the last installment of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Season One, the games of the 80s and 90s are brought to the forefront to poke fun at, play within, and enjoy (?) a second time around.
Pitfall's jumps, scorpions and vine swings; Wolfenstein's first person shooter point of view; King's Quest generic (at present) questing and gathering of everything not nailed down; and Snakeboxing and Stinkoman (both from the Strongbad Vidalextrix universe) are all used to good effect to keep the gameplay mixed and interesting.
While this game didn't provide the same sense of wow that the earlier episodes did, it served as a good capstone on the series.
If you've purchased every epiosode thus far, this is a no-brainer. If you're the type of person that picks and chooses through the episodes, try the demo first.

Which Pop Star Would Britney Spears Like to "Snog?" [VIDEO]
We talked about this on the Get Up & Go Show this morning.
We talked about this on the Get Up & Go Show this morning.
The music mogul dropped some serious One Direction bombs during an interview with 'The Sun' on Sunday.
No decisions have been made as to when the new season will begin.
Simon Cowell has broken his silence following the controversial video that seemingly shows One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik smoking a joint in a car.
I couldn't help but wipe away tears after watching this performance. These two boys tackle bullying with inspirational lyrics and a positive attitude.
Simon Cowell's Valentine's Day present was a 6 pound, 7 ounce bundle of joy. The reality TV mogul and lovable sourpuss and his gorgeous girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, welcomed their baby boy at 5:45PM ET on Feb. 14.
One person who is decidedly not Team Kendall when it comes to Harry Styles (besides his ex Taylor Swift)? Oh, just Simon Cowell. And it's Kris Jenner's fault.
It's November sweeps -- a critical period for networks -- and 'X Factor' is doing nothing to help its parent Fox achieve its goals. The show, in its third season, is dealing with abysmal ratings that have been declining ever since it premiered in the U.S. It appears to be running out of steam, begging the question: Is the show on the verge of being canceled?
Demi Lovato may have said that she hates the twerking trend while her pal Miley Cyrus twerks till she can't twerk no more. But the 'X Factor' judge is not above getting her twerk on every once in a while. She twerked up on her boss Simon Cowell during last week's episode.
If you plan on getting Simon Cowell and baby mama Lauren Silverman a shower gift, stock up on blue -- they're having a boy!
She sang to sobbing fans last time she appeared on 'Live With Kelly and Michael,' but this time Demi Lovato skipped the performance and brought a bunch of dish instead!
She may be the reigning Queen of Pop, but this year, Madonna holds dominion over all the other celebrities of the world, coming in above directing powerhouse Steven Spielberg and the creator of a million reality singing competitions, Simon Cowell.

For 35 years, the Presidential Management Fellowship Program has been the federal government's flagship program to cultivate a cadre of young, public-sector leaders. For equally as long, the application process has been somewhat of a mystery, but a newly launched website attempts to change that.
Created in 1977 by an executive order, the PMF has served as a stepping stone for students of advanced graduate degree programs to embark on a public-service career. Although the program attracts and selects the best candidates possible, its focus is on cultivating a core of potential government leaders
The application process has "traditionally been one of those things out there no one knew about -- a black box," said Bo Kemper, executive director of the Robertson Foundation for Government, a nonprofit that focuses on identifying, educating, and motivating top U.S. graduate students to pursue federal government careers.
The foundation set out to shed some light on the nuts and bolts of the application process and create an online resource for candidates. After teaming up with social networking site GovLoop and working for a few months, the organizations launched PathtoPMF.com as an interactive go-to guide for those in the various stages of the PMF process.
The website offers various resources for applicants, and considers the many ways media can be consumed, whether it's a PDF guide, a video or a blog. The Managing the Application Process Guide provides advice based on video and podcast interviews with more than 60 current and past PMFs, nearly a dozen career advisers, and several federal agency program coordinators.
Prospects can also use discussion forums to ask questions and support others throughout the application process or peruse analysis from historical data on popular graduate degrees, top universities, and top hiring agencies.
"We've helped a lot of people navigate the process, and the goal is to reach out to more of the best and brightest so they can join government," said Steve Ressler, founder and president of GovLoop.

The government's departing top acquisition official said she leaves behind a solid foundation on which to build more effective and efficient federal IT.
The National Background Investigations Bureau announced the appointment of its first director as the agency prepares to take over processing government background checks.
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said agencies are missing out on younger workers because of the government's rigidity, particularly its protracted hiring process.
Since 1987, FCW has covered it all -- the major contracts, the disruptive technologies, the picayune scandals and the many, many people who make federal IT function. Here's a look back at six of the most significant stories.
A short-term funding bill is expected by Sept. 30 to keep the federal government operating through early December, but after that the options get more complicated.
The DOD is opening a new Defense Innovation Unit Experimental office in Austin, Texas, while Congress debates legislation that could defund DIUx.

We will take you to a quiet area to introduce the controls of the car. It is a daunting challenge for the new driver but by matching your ability to the road conditions we can make learning to drive a positive and successful task.
The initial drive will be in a quiet residential area to allow you to get used to a different car. At the same time, we can assess the standard reached so far and work out a programme to take you forward. So from previous experience to the new should be a smooth transition and further progress can develop naturally.
We understand. There is so much uncertainty when you first decide to learn to drive. Once you have met our friendly and helpful instructor, you can concentrate on getting to grips with the car controls. We won't push you too hard and will keep you in your comfort zone. As you gain experience your fears will evaporate and your nerves will be a thing of the past.
It is surprising how many drivers stop or discontinue driving lessons for one reason or another. The longer the break lasts the more difficult to overcome an ever increasing loss of confidence. It seems as if you have forgotten everything. We are here to help. You have the skills hidden in the back of your mind and we can bring them out again.
We will begin as if you have never driven before and take you forward at a pace you find comfortable. After a few lessons you will have the confidence to get back on the road again on your own.
We offer in car theory training on a one to one basis. This can be very helpful if you suffer with learning difficulties or dyslexia. Learning theory and having practical driving lessons at the same time is the best way forward as one helps develop the other. The driving theory test puts you through your paces, examining whether you understand the various types of road signs, traffic law, what to do in various situations on the road and your knowledge of speed limits. It is a compulsory part of learning to drive and many people struggle to pass this on their first attempt. We can help you with this by offering guidance including recommending online learning resources and apps that include example multiple choice tests. This will build up your knowledge and give you the confidence to pass and take your test.
Motorway driving is restricted to qualified license holders under present legislation. It is included as one of the modules for passplus once you have passed you driving test. If you prefer, motorway lessons can be covered as an individual topic. Normally the instruction is arranged as a two-hour lesson to allow for getting to and from the nearest motorway.
Motorway lessons are popular as part of our refresher course for the experienced driver who hasn't driven regularly or for a long time.
Allows the newly qualified driver to get more experience in a training environment and earn subsequent insurance discounts as a reward. Further details are available on our 'Contact Us' page.
We offer automatic driving lessons where possible. This is subject to the car and instructor covering your area. We have a list of instructors on our web site however we also provide a friendly telephone service, so please get in touch and we will be able to tell you straight away whether we can help.
Companies can be held accountable for the driving practises of their staff. We have the experience to offer assessment and training on a one to one basis as required.
Our Advanced Driving Course can be adapted for occupational driver training to include taxi training and bus driver assessment (driving school car). If you work in a driving profession or would like to, talk to us and we will be able to guide you through what you need or point you in the direction of someone locally who can.

Sarah Palin choosing between A&E and Discovery
With the major networks reportedly out of the race, A&E and Discovery are now the finalists for Sarah Palin's Alaska-based TV project.
According to Variety, the travelogue-style series would cost either cable network roughly $1 million per episode and would be produced by the former Alaska governor and "Survivor" guru Mark Burnett.
Palin isn't expected to have any sort of on-camera role in the series, which is expected to be generally apolitical.
Stay tuned for a final Sarah Palin decision as soon as it's announced.

In computer programming, heisenbug is a classification of an unusual software bug that disappears or alters its behavior when an attempt to isolate it is made. Due to the unpredictable nature of a heisenbug, when trying to recreate the bug or using a debugger, the error may change or even vanish on a retry. The name heisenbug is derived from Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle which states, "it is fundamentally impossible to predict the position and momentum of a particle at the same time". Contrast with bohrbug.

Developing a capacity for organizational resilience through strategic human resource managementCynthia A. Lengnick-Hall | Tammy E. Beck | Mark L. Lengnick-Hall
Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 243-255
Resilient organizations thrive despite experiencing conditions that are surprising, uncertain, often adverse, and usually unstable. We propose that an organization's capacity for resilience is developed through strategically managing human resources to create competencies among core employees, that when aggregated at the organizational level, make it possible for organizations to achieve the ability to respond in a resilient manner when they experience severe shocks. We begin by reviewing three elements central to developing an organization's capacity for resilience (specific cognitive abilities, behavioral characteristics, and contextual conditions). Next we identify the individual level employee contributions needed to achieve each of these elements. We then explain how HR policies and practices within a strategic human resource management system can influence individual attitudes and behaviors so that when these individual contributions are aggregated at the organizational level through the processes of double interact and attraction-selection-attrition, the organization is more likely to possess a capacity for resilience. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Performance management and employee engagementJamie A. Gruman | Alan M. Saks
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 123-136
Many contemporary organizations are placing a greater emphasis on their performance management systems as a means of generating higher levels of job performance. We suggest that producing performance increments may be best achieved by orienting the performance management system to promote employee engagement. To this end, we describe a new approach to the performance management process that includes employee engagement and the key drivers of employee engagement at each stage. We present a model of engagement management that incorporates the main ideas of the paper and suggests a new perspective for thinking about how to foster and manage employee engagement to achieve high levels of job performance. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Narcissism in organizational contextsW. Keith Campbell | Brian J. Hoffman | Stacy M. Campbell | Gaia Marchisio
Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 268-284
The literature on narcissism in organizational contexts is reviewed. We begin by describing the context of narcissism and several relevant theoretical approaches to understanding it. We next describe research on narcissism in a range of organizational topics, from leadership to meta-organizational issues. We conclude by highlighting several reoccurring themes involving the role of narcissism in organizational contexts, with an emphasis on articulating directions for future research. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Strategy, human resource management and performance: Sharpening line of sightPaul F. Buller | Glenn M. McEvoy
Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 43-56
This paper builds on previous theory and research on strategy and human resource management to identify important linkages between the firm's strategy, its human resources, and performance outcomes. First, we review the relevant literature focusing in particular on the role of human resources in creating competitive advantage. We then present a multi-level model illustrating how human resource management practices can effectively align organizational, group and individual factors with the organization's strategy. We redefine line of sight as the alignment of organizational capabilities and culture, group competencies and norms, and individual KSAs, motivation and opportunity with one another and with the organization's strategy. Further, we propose that such alignment contributes to the creation of human capital and social capital, both of which are necessary to achieve and sustain superior performance. We conclude the paper with some implications for future research and practice. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
A review of personality and performance: Identifying boundaries, contingencies, and future research directionsLisa M. Penney | Emily David | L. A. Witt
Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 297-310
This article reviews the literature linking the Big Five personality traits with job performance in order to identify the most promising directions for future research. Specifically, we recommend expanding the criterion domain to include internal and external service-oriented behavior as well as adaptive performance. We also review situational moderators of the personality-performance relationship and suggest additional moderators at the task, social, and organizational levels. Finally, we discuss trait interactions and explain why we expect that our capability to predict employee behavior will be considerably improved by considering the interaction among traits. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Clarifying the construct of human resource systems: Relating human resource management to employee performanceKaifeng Jiang | David P. Lepak | Kyongji Han | Ying Hong | Andrea Kim | Anne Laure Winkler
Volume 22, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 73-85
Strategic human resource management researchers have strongly advocated a system perspective and provided considerable evidence that certain systems of human resource practices have a significant impact on individual and organizational performance. Yet, challenges of understanding the construct of human resource systems still remain in the literature. Specifically, few efforts have been made to explicate the internal fit in human resource systems referring to how the practices in human resource systems work together. For the purpose of clarifying human resource systems construct, we review the components of human resource systems and delineate how the parts of human resource systems work together to influence employee performance. Theoretical and empirical implications for future research are also discussed. © 2011 .
The psychology of talent management: A review and research agendaNicky Dries
Volume 23, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 272-285
Across six different streams of the literature (i.e., HRM; I/O psychology; educational psychology; vocational psychology; positive psychology; social psychology) we identify a number of discrepancies (i.e., between practitioner and academic interest; between talent management discourse and practice), theoretical perspectives (i.e., talent as capital; talent as individual difference; talent as giftedness; talent as identity; talent as strength; and talent as the perception of talent), tensions (i.e., object-subject; inclusive-exclusive; innate-acquired; input-output; transferable-context-dependent), and assumptions (i.e., about intuition versus data; about the effects of being labeled 'talented'; about the effects of differential treatment) which we argue can serve as a basis for theory building, methodological advances, and new empirical work. With this review, we hope to join a growing group of talent management scholars pushing to make the transition from a growing into a mature field of study, characterized by widely accepted theoretical frameworks and research designs, and supported by the scholarly community. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
Strategic human resource management and the decline of employee focusHarry J. Van Buren | Michelle Greenwood | Cathy Sheehan
Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 209-219
The purpose of this paper is to critique the shift from employee focus to strategy focus in the role of HRM. It is our contention that, contrary to assumptions of unitarism, organizational goals and employee goals remain largely in conflict. We conceptualize unitarism at three levels - normative, conceptual, and empirical - in order to explain the disparity between strategic HRM's rhetorical promotion of unity of organizational and employee goals and actual HRM practice of privileging strategic interests over employee interests. We analyze responses to a national survey of the membership of the professional body of the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) to illustrate how HRM professionals prioritize competing strategic and employee foci, finding support for the argument that HRM professionals have made the shift to a strategic mindset. In so doing, HRM professionals have marginalized employee-focused HRM responsibilities and ethics activities. We discuss the implications of the decline in employee focus within HRM and suggest further areas of research development. © 2011.
Hearing a different drummer? Convergence of human resource management in Europe - A longitudinal analysisWolfgang Mayrhofer | Chris Brewster | Michael J. Morley | Johannes Ledolter
Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 50-67
In this paper we explore the notion of convergence in managerial practice as a result of globalization. Focused on convergence at the national level, we offer a more nuanced exposition of convergence than has been evident in previous literature and draw upon a study that empirically analyzes the development of HRM in larger private sector firms in 13 European countries between 1992 and 2004 to examine any evidence of human resource management practices becoming more alike. We find considerable evidence of directional similarity - practices increasing or decreasing in the same way across the countries - but no evidence of final convergence - countries becoming more alike in the way they manage people. The findings have important implications for theories of convergence, theories of HRM, and for practitioners in multinational corporations. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Adult attachment styles in the workplaceP. D. Harms
Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 285-296
Prior research has demonstrated that attachment styles are important antecedents of interpersonal relationship quality and psychological well-being. Despite this, the theory of attachment styles has been largely ignored by researchers interested in workplace phenomena. The present paper aims to explain the theory of attachment styles, why researchers have overlooked attachment styles as an antecedent of organizational behavior, and a possible means of reconciling attachment theory with current models of personality. Moreover, I will review what existing research has actually demonstrated in terms of linking attachment styles to leadership, trust, satisfaction, performance and other outcomes. Finally, I will explore what possible future directions may be taken by researchers in the future in order to broaden and deepen our understanding of the role of attachment styles in the workplace. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Collaboration at work: An integrative multilevel conceptualizationWendy L. Bedwell | Jessica L. Wildman | Deborah DiazGranados | Maritza Salazar | William S. Kramer | Eduardo Salas
Volume 22, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 128-145
The term collaboration has been used throughout a variety of research disciplines to describe multiple types of interaction; yet, a unified, comprehensive definition of the construct remains elusive. This lack of clarity regarding the distinctions and commonalities between collaboration and other interaction concepts has resulted in conceptual confusion that affects practice and research in human resource management. Practitioners see collaboration as more of a buzzword than as an effective human resource strategy. Previous theory development efforts have not yet taken a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach. This has resulted in failure to integrate key themes across disciplines into an overall view of collaboration, which is a commonplace practice in business and military sectors alike. This paper describes a multidisciplinary conceptualization of collaboration and discusses the implications of this integrative theory to human resource management and strategy development as well as future research efforts. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
A review of research on personality in teams: Accounting for pathways spanning levels of theory and analysisJeffery A. LePine | Brooke R. Buckman | Eean R. Crawford | Jessica R. Methot
Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 311-330
Over the last half century there has been a great deal of interest in the role of personality in teams. In this article we review the theoretical and empirical research on this topic to summarize what we have learned and also to provide a foundation for future research necessary for application of this knowledge to human resource management decisions. We describe research that emphasizes both team- and individual-levels of analysis and theory, and we discuss recent efforts that attempt to bridge these two levels. We conclude by identifying several issues that should take precedence in research in order to advance our understanding of the role of personality in teams. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
What is the meaning of 'talent' in the world of work?Eva Gallardo-Gallardo | Nicky Dries | Tomás F. González-Cruz
Volume 23, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 290-300
The ongoing confusion about the meaning of 'talent' within the world of work is hindering the establishment of widely accepted talent management theories and practices. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the literature on talent management by offering an in-depth review of the talent concept within the specific context of the world of work, and proposing a framework for its conceptualization. We group different theoretical approaches to talent into 'object' (i.e., talent as natural ability; talent as mastery; talent as commitment; talent as fit) versus 'subject' approaches (i.e., talent as all people; talent as some people) and identify dynamics existing within and between them, as well as implications for talent management theory and practice. Finally, we discuss different avenues for further research aimed at developing the talent-and consequently, the talent management-construct further. •Offers a framework for the conceptualization of talent within the world of work•Discusses the etymology of 'talent' and its linguistic evolution over time•Distinguishes between 'object' and 'subject' approaches to talent•Also distinguishes between 'exclusive' and 'inclusive' approaches to talent•Discusses implications for theory, research, and practice. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
Beyond workaholism: Towards a general model of heavy work investmentRaphael Snir | Itzhak Harpaz
Volume 22, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 232-243
Although the term workaholism is widely used, little consensus exists about its meaning, and there is a great need for further theoretical and methodological advancement. We attempt to address this need by introducing the concept of Heavy Work Investment (HWI), and viewing workaholism as only one of its subtypes. Furthermore, we propose a model consisting of four main components: HWI, its possible predictors, its types, and its outcomes.In this model, using Weiner's (1985) attributional framework, we differentiate between situational and dispositional types of HWI, each with its own subtypes, as based on the predictors of such an investment. For example, financial-needs-based and employer-directed are situational subtypes, whereas workaholism and work-devotion are dispositional subtypes. Based on the proposed HWI model, we compare dispositional investors with situational investors.Finally, the measurement of HWI, as well as future research directions (study of situational investors, research across time and cultures, and exploration of inter-generational similarity/difference) is also discussed. © 2011 Elsevier Inc..
Recommendations for improving the construct clarity of higher-order multidimensional constructsRussell E. Johnson | Christopher C. Rosen | Chu Hsiang Daisy Chang | Emilija Djurdjevic | Meng U. Taing
Volume 22, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 62-72
In recent decades, there has been a proliferation of higher-order multidimensional constructs in the management and psychology literatures. Unfortunately, few guidelines have been presented for assessing the appropriateness of these constructs. In the current paper, the authors present seven recommendations for evaluating the construct clarity of multidimensional constructs. As an example, these guidelines are applied to existing multidimensional constructs, such as core self-evaluation and work engagement. The guidelines presented in this paper provide a roadmap for researchers interested in developing multidimensional constructs and identifying aspects of existing multidimensional constructs that are in need of improvement. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
Managing adaptive performance in teams: Guiding principles and behavioral markers for measurementMichael A. Rosen | Wendy L. Bedwell | Jessica L. Wildman | Barbara A. Fritzsche | Eduardo Salas | C. Shawn Burke
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 107-122
Various types of organizations must manage rapidly changing operational contexts. To respond to these demands, organizations are relying more heavily on team-based work arrangements. Effectively managing such performance requires a systematic, broad approach to measuring team effectiveness that is comprehensive and sound, yet unobtrusive. One aspect of teamwork that is critical to success in these types of environments is adaptation. Teams must be able to react quickly and accurate to the changing environment. To effectively manage adaptive team performance in such contexts, there is a need to better understand team adaptation as well as to generate better team performance measurement systems. To this end, a review and synthesis of the empirical, theoretical, and methodological literatures concerning team adaptation, performance, and measurement is conducted to develop theoretically-based principles to guide development of effective team adaptation measurement systems as well as to inform future research. We propose six guiding principles that capture core features of team adaptation and serve as an aid in the development of team performance measurement systems. These principles are rooted in recent theoretical work on team adaptation and are presented at a level of abstraction suitable for generalization across performance measurement contexts and purposes. Behavioral markers describing processes associated with each principle and example measurement strategies are presented to illustrate development of specific measurement tools and metrics, based on the principles. The principles and behavioral markers presented can guide development of measurement systems to assess, train, and improve team adaptation, a core capacity of effective organizations. Future research needs to expand upon the principles advanced here to provide theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous tools to help performance management professionals develop adaptive team capacities. © 2010.
Implications of core self-evaluations for a changing organizational contextTimothy A. Judge | John D. Kammeyer-Mueller
Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 331-341
There is a need for individuals who have the confidence and assertiveness to adapt to and create positive change in contemporary organizations. The concept of core self-evaluations provides one way to conceptualize this requisite positive self-construal. This article begins by covering the concept of core self-evaluations, highlighting what has been learned about the relationship between core self-evaluations and attitudes, motivation, performance, and career progress. After this review, implications of the core self-evaluation construct for challenges in contemporary organizations are reviewed. Specifically, the potential importance of core self-evaluations for creative performance, transformational leadership, coping with organizational change, and managing "boundaryless" careers is discussed. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
An evidence-based review of e-HRM and strategic human resource managementJanet H. Marler | Sandra L. Fisher
Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2013, Pages 18-36
One stated purpose of electronic human resource management (e-HRM) is to make the HRM function more strategic. The goal of this paper is to examine the research on e-HRM to provide evidence-based guidance to researchers and practitioners on the relationship between e-HRM and strategic HRM. We review 40 studies published from 1999 to 2011 using integrative synthesis as our evidence-based methodology. Results reveal that theoretical and empirical research in this area is still at an early stage. We find no empirical evidence showing that e-HRM predicts strategic outcomes. There is evidence suggesting that strategic HRM predicts e-HRM outcomes and that the relationship appears context dependent, however, research designs are not sufficient to establish causal direction. Our review highlights the need for more empirical studies on e-HRM and strategic HRM outcomes at a macro level. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
The relationship of personality to counterproductive work behavior (CWB): An integration of perspectivesPaul E. Spector
Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 342-352
The workplace literature relating personality to CWB is integrated with complimentary literatures from other disciplines including developmental and social psychology. The literature is reviewed showing how both broad-based personality dimensions reflected in integrity tests and measures of the five factor model, and specific personality traits relate to counterproductive work behavior (CWB). A model is developed showing how different personality variables shown to relate to aggression and/or (CWB) might affect different steps in the process linking behavior to precipitating environmental conditions or events. Specifically Hostile Attribution Bias and Narcissism are most relevant to appraisal and attributions, Negative Affectivity and Trait Anger connect to negative emotions, and Locus of Control and Self-Control are thought to play a CWB inhibiting role. Distinctions among reactive, proactive, and relational aggression are extended to CWB. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Talent management and the relevance of context: Towards a pluralistic approachMarian Thunnissen | Paul Boselie | Ben Fruytier
Volume 23, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 326-336
This paper aims to contribute to the development of a broader, more balanced approach to talent management that will help in studying and implementing talent management across different contexts. The paper starts with an overview of the advances made in previous reviews and studies with respect to three central themes: the definition of talent, intended outcomes of talent management, and talent management practices. We identify the one-dimensional and narrow approach to the topic as a main limitation of the existing talent management literature. Through the use of theories from the organizational theory and the strategic HRM domain, we add new perspectives and develop a multilevel, multi-value approach to talent management. In so doing, we offer an in-depth discussion of the potential economic and non-economic value created by talent management at the individual, organizational, and societal level. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
The many faces of pay variationNina Gupta | Samantha A. Conroy | John E. Delery
Volume 22, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 100-115
Research on pay variation and organizational outcomes has yielded inconsistent results. We argue that this is due to a lack of construct clarity regarding pay variation, and we attempt to provide clarification by distinguishing among the sources and types of pay variation. Using these distinctions, we integrate different theoretical perspectives on pay variation, and we propose avenues through which different kinds of pay variations affect outcomes. This clarification also elucidates some measurement concerns affecting pay variation studies. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
The role of perceived organizational justice in shaping the outcomes of talent management: A research agendaJolyn Gelens | Nicky Dries | Joeri Hofmans | Roland Pepermans
Volume 23, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 341-353
Talent management is in need of a theoretical foundation and empirical research at the level of the individual. To address these gaps, the current paper relies on the literature on workforce differentiation and provides a research agenda by introducing perceived organizational justice as a key mediator between talent management practices and differential employee reactions. We discuss employees' varying reactions to talent management on one hand and their underlying perceptions of organizational justice, on the other hand. In particular, we propose that, amongst others, an employee's high potential status serves as an antecedent for different distributive justice perceptions, while procedural interventions and relationship building can provide organizational latitude in shaping employee reactions to talent management. Research methods, challenges, and practical implications are discussed. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
Strength-based performance appraisal and goal settingOsnat Bouskila-Yam | Avraham N. Kluger
Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 137-147
Many supervisors and subordinates hate performance appraisal exercises. Moreover, the benefits of performance appraisals for organizations are questionable. To address these challenges, we participated in the development of an alternative Strength-Based Performance Appraisal (SBPA) and a goal setting process, considering ideas both from performance appraisals practitioners and from Positive Psychology scholars. SBPA emphasizes learning from success stories using the Feedforward interview [Kluger A.N. and Nir D., 2009. The feedforward interview. Human Resource Management Review 20,235-246.], reflected best self [Roberts L.M., Dutton J.E., Spreitzer C.M., Heaphy E.D., Quinn R.E. 2005. Composing the reflected best-self portrait: Building pathways for becoming extraordinary in work organizations Academy of Management Review 30(4),712-736], finding new ways to use existing strengths (Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, 2005) and a win-win approach (Pruitt & Rubin, 1986). However, SBPA does not avoid negative feedback; it constrains it for prevention-focus behaviors, where it appears to be effective in increasing motivation and performance [Van-Dijk D. & Kluger A.N. 2004. Feedback sign effect on motivation: Is it moderated by regulatory focus? Applied Psychology: An International Review, 53(1), 113-135]. Following an elaboration of the theoretical rationale of SBPA, we describe a case study of applying SBPA at SodaStream (formerly Soda-Club), coupled with an initial evaluation of its impact. We conclude with lessons learned from the first implementation, followed by a call for replications. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
Emerging issues in theory and research on electronic human resource management (eHRM)Dianna L. Stone | James H. Dulebohn
Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2013, Pages 1-5
In the past several decades, technology has had a dramatic impact on human resource management (HR) processes and practices. For example, technology, especially theWorld Wide Web, has helped modify many HR processes including human resource planning, recruitment, selection, performance management, work flow, and compensation. These new systems have enabled HR professionals to provide better service to all of their stakeholders (e.g., applicants, employees, managers), and reduced the administrative burden in the field. Despite the widespread use of these systems, there has been a surprising dearth of theory and research on the topic. As a result, the purpose of this special issue is to (a) advance theory and research on human resource management systems (HRMS) and electronic human resource management (eHRM), (b) offer new directions for research on the topic, and (c) enhance the effectiveness of these systems in organizations. As a result, this article reviews the evolution of HRMS and eHRM, provides a brief overview of the existing literature, and introduces the articles in the special issue. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Human resource management systems (HRMS) integrate human resource processes and an organization's information systems. An HRMS frequently represents one of the modules of an enterprise resource planning system (ERP). ERPs are information systems that manage the business and consist of integrated software applications such customer relations and supply chain management, manufacturing, finance and human resources. ERP implementation projects frequently have high failure rates; although research has investigated a number of factors for success and failure rates, limited attention has been directed toward the implementation teams, and how to make these more effective. In this paper we argue that shared leadership represents an appropriate approach to improving the functioning of ERP implementation teams. Shared leadership represents a form of team leadership where the team members, rather than only a single team leader, engage in leadership behaviors. While shared leadership has received increased research attention during the past decade, it has not been applied to ERP implementation teams and therefore that is the purpose of this article. Toward this end, we describe issues related to ERP and HRMS implementation, teams, and the concept of shared leadership, review theoretical and empirical literature, present an integrative framework, and describe the application of shared leadership to ERP and HRMS implementation. © 2012.

Our four year old was snoring every night and it often seemed as if his breathing was labored. He was often tired and it was very obvious that he wasnât getting a restful sleep. We took him to see Dr. Ulrich and showed him videos we had taken of our son sleeping and snoring. Dr. Ulrich was very thorough and helpful with his diagnosis, while providing us with several options to help improve our sonâs sleeping. All of our questions were answered and after trying some alternatives to surgery that didnât work as successfully as we had hoped, we scheduled our son for a tonsillectomy. The surgery was a success and now our son is sleeping sound throughout the night without experiencing any of the previous issues. We are very happy with our decision to have his tonsils out andâmore importantlyâfor taking him to Dr. Ulrich due to his expertise, thoughtfulness, and professionalism. Thank you, Dr. Ulrich and staff!
Be very careful, I just spent over $60.00 out of pocket, front desk person said it was my insurance's fault. He charged over $60 to stick something in my ear to remove a small amount of wax (his words). I will not be going back to this a la carte Doctor.
Dr. Ulrich is knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We never felt rushed or ignored.
I feel that I was taken advantage of by this Office. I paid for a appointment that was not necessary to begin with. I complained to the office manager to no avail. I absolutely feel like I was taken advantage of, and as a retiree on a fixed income I cant financially or medically afford to have someone do this to me.
I didn't get past the desk to see the doctor. With my insurance, all co-pays are paid AFTER submitting the paperwork to the insurance company. With my ears in great pain and producing a bloody discharge, I was told his office collects up front. I didn't have the high co-pay and they would not take any instruction from my insurance company to explain how this works. It states on my card to not collect any $s up front. They would not allow me to see the doctor. I would highly discourage anyone from using this doctor.
Such a great experience, I even sent my dad to him!!
I was very happy with how I was treated at Dr. Ulrich's office. His entire staff was very kind and helpful. I would not hesitate to refer Dr. Ulrich to my family and friends.
I was extremely impressed by the staff and their professionalism. Very happy with Dr. Ulrich and Amber. They helped me so much!

The 2011 NFL Draft gave the Philadelphia Eagles several opportunities to fill the holes on their roster, and the front office responded by giving a major boost across their offensive line. However, the team will still need to rely on free agency and trades to put on the finishing touches on what could be another playoff-bound roster.
Although it is still unclear as to when the NFL lockout will be lifted and operations will resume to normalcy, speculation regarding which players the Eagles will target continues to run wild.
In order to get a better idea of which players the Eagles have in their sights, we should first take a look at their biggest needs. Here are the top five.
