Intese screenings of psychological and financial well being should be done before the license is issued.
What if they pass the financial screening then get canned after conception? The whole license to reproduce idea is so absurd that it is laughable.

People may obviously have as much sex as they like. They should be allowed to reproduce indiscriminately.
What happens to the babies that people without a license choose to have?

Birth control is readily available for everyone, why didn't they seek this option. I understand that many told me that how much they love their kid. The kid changed their love. Will they still love their kid when they become a teenager and no longer as cute as when they are 2 and 3 yrs old. Will they have sufficient means to put them thru school and college? The cycle continues.
It is troublesome when so many children growing up in a dysfunctional family. We, as a whole, will pay for it one way or another. What should we do?
You really thought long and hard about this one before posting didnt you?
-Im sure they decided they wanted a baby and actively sought to make one just like everyone else. Nobody ever has an accident with their means of birthcontrol, nobody ever went through an "abstinence only" sex ed class and doesnt actually understand the various options for birth control or even the risk of pregnancy, nobody ever gets raped.
-What exactly do razor cuts have anything to do with being a fit parent?
-Birth control is NOT readily available for everyone, especially broke teenagers living at home who cant talk to their parents about the sex theyre having. Birth control also fails, especially when an uneducated teenager is using it.
What should we do? Offer a better more informative sexual education to children, offer a cheaper/free-er birthcontrol method that is easier for kids to access...

On a more serous note,
Way to generalize, dude.
Birth control is readily available for everyone, why didn't they seek this option.
How do you know they didn't? Most methods of contraception are not perfect. The only one that is, is not having sex.
What should we do?
Let's all start threads about moralizing and lecturizing and saving the world from single moms and the babies with razor cuts on their little arms and legs.
I like to think most mothers will always love their children, even when the kid highly disappoints them. At least that's how I feel.

Connor Photography wrote: Birth control is readily available for everyone, why didn't they seek this option.
No, it isn't.
At this time in our country, many families do not have readily available access to healthcare, and the access they do have is sometimes limited by assorted factors.
Not all healthcare covers birth control. When I was married, and 'covered' under my (now ex-) husband's plan, I still had to pay out of pocket, around $60/month, for contraceptives. The insurance only paid for exams, consultations and disease screenings.
A HUGE number of parents would just ignorantly deny their children access to birth control, because it's not uncommon in this country for people to seriously believe access to contraception encourages sexual activity. I do not understand that line of thinking at all, but it exists, and it's fairly common. I went to high school with a girl whose mother found her birth control pills, and threw them away. Seriously. No joke.
Many teens cannot tell their parents they are sexually active, or ask for basic sexual healthcare. I did not become sexually active until I was an adult, and out of my parents' house, but had I been a sexually active teen, I would have been asked to leave my home if my mom had discovered it. Even after moving out, and becoming (responsibly) sexually active, when my mother found out (through hearsay) I was dating, she did not speak to me -at least not in any peaceable way- for a very long time. I was 20 years old at the time, working and caring for myself. Didn't matter. Had I been a teen and asked for an appointment with Planned Parenthood, it would have destroyed my relationship with my family forever.
Even people who use birth control have accidents. It happens. It just does.
Connor Photography wrote: Recently I have encountered lot of teen single mother, why did they bring the child into this world while they are not capable of raising them.
this is not going to end well.
Do you cop this attitude when you're shooting with young single-mom models?
I doubt that most single, teenage mothers put any advance thought or planning into their pregnancies. I don't think the issue is that they mistakenly believed they had the finances, responsibility, maturity, etc. to raise a child . . . . I think those things were never on the table. If they were, we would be talking about planned pregnancies, not unplanned.
Yes, birth control is available, but is it easily accessible for teenagers and high school students? I'm not sure. I wasn't sexually active while I was in high school, but if I had been, I don't think I could have gotten my hands on any without my parents finding out - and for a lot of people, there is still a stigma attached to sex being "dirty" or "wrong," or girls are worried that if their friends/family find out, they'll be called a "slut" or "whore" . . . . meaning that nobody wants anyone else to find out that they're having sex. Maybe some people aren't looking for the help/contraception they need because they're worrying about being judged.
Planned Parenthood gives out free condoms but I didn't have a car in high school and the hell if I was going to ask my parents/friends to take me there. When I was in college, they put condoms free for the taking in all the restrooms. People don't want to do that in high school, because they're worried it "sends the wrong message" and condones kids having sex. I see this argument, but as a kid who wasn't having sex in high school, being given a free condom would not have motivated me to go get laid. For those that were already having sex, at least it would be safer.
It's a complicated issue. I think parents have an important responsibility to be actively involved in their kids' lives and educations . . . and I mean not just education as school is concerned, but teaching their kids how to be responsible, make good decisions, look out for their own health and well-being, etc . . . . when that doesn't happen, we see kids who honestly don't know how tragically they're messing up their lives. I know many very intelligent adults around my age (25) who have nothing to show for themselves at this point in their lives because their parents never helped them plan for their futures when they were young. They don't know how to budget, save money, spend responsibly, have a good work ethic, communicate effectively, etc. If you grow up in a family that thinks school is a joke, you're not going to take it seriously, or get good grades, or have a chance to go to college and earn more to support yourself . . .. it goes on and on.
Also, you mentioned in the original post that it's a vicious cycle. Let's say a kid was raised in a single parent home where her mother gave birth to her at 16, dropped out of high school, was not actively involved in helping her child get ahead in school, or teaching priorities, values, etc. When this kid grows up, how much blame can be put on the child if she doesn't do well in school, ends up pregnant herself, etc? Sure, she has to take some responsibility, but doesn't a lot go to the parent who never prepared her child to succeed in life? Can we expect a child to intrinsically see the value of getting a great education and waiting until they're financially prepared to have their own family? Of course not. That needs to be taught, and it falls on the parents. So why do we blame teenagers, who are still only teenagers, and don't blame the adults who let them get to that age without instilling important life lessons?
So, what do we do? Kids need to have positive examples and role models if they're going to achieve positive things themselves. They need to see the right way to do something or else they'll never strive to do it. Instead of judging them and their mistakes, we need to attempt to see life from their perspective and guide them so they can make better lives for themselves. I'm not trying to downplay the issue here, it's obviously a serious issue, but I think there's more to it than meets the eye.
I'd be interested to find out how many teenage, single moms were born to teenage moms themselves.
Anne_C wrote: Um... Wow. I'm not even sure where to start on this one. I don't consider myself a person who is easily offended, but... I'm kinda offended.
I was a young mother (I am now 28), unwed, with razor scars all over my arms -- troubled childhood, what can I say. I quit the habit many years ago, before my kids were born. Yes, my first child was an "accident" (missed taking a birth control pill). Best accident ever to happen to me.
I am an awesome mom. I now have two beautiful, perfect, polite, kind, incredibly smart and well-adjusted little boys who tell me every day that I am the "best mama in the whole world." I love them more than anything.
Yes, as a young unwed mother it was sometimes a struggle, both emotionally and financially - but since when is parenthood ever NOT a struggle?
Your stereotypes suck.
Awwww, I know they're adorable.
SPRINGHEEL wrote:
I prefer soup.
A part of the answer (which by the way, I deduce from your post is not what you're really looking for here) is contained in your observation that "Many of them have razor cut scars all over their arms and legs. ' Many, but by no means all, of them were unwanted themselves and that fact was brought to their attention over and over and over. Cutting may be a punishment of themselves because they've come to believe that they actually are "bad" and "worthless". Or it may be a plea for help (I know, lots of right-wingers will scornfully sniff, "Yeah, sure!" ) Usually it's both.
Sometimes it's just a couple of kids playing Catholic Roulette.
Another part is inadequate sex education. And while I hate to keep hitting the right-wingers, I have to say that the same people who refuse to deal realistically with sex in raising their own youngsters are the first to go ballistic if the school board tries to introduce a sex ed class in junior high and form social and political lynch mobs if the local druggist sells a teenager a pack of condoms.
And yet another part is the unhappiness in many homes that goes far beyond the normal teenage angst, to the point where having someone, anyone, love me is worth all the unhappiness and uncertainty that comes with the pregnancy compared to all the unhappiness in the teenager's home. Have you ever noticed how often the unmarried mom is the child of an unmarried (or at best urgently married) mom?
And don't get me started on the goody-goody two-shoes who rant on and on about unwed mothers while ranting out of the other sides of their mouths about the sanctity of life and the evils of abortion.
And never forget that sometimes, often in fact, these are just two kids who are desperately, totally, utterly in love. A member of my extended family, herself the product of an "urgent" marriage, told her parents that sixteen or not, she and her boyfriend loved each other and wanted to get married. The anticipated battle with her parents ensued, the fires fanned in large part by the fact that the boy was from very far on the wrong side of the tracks. "No matter," she said, "we're getting married and if you don't sign the papers, I'll just get pregnant." The parents caved and that rebellious teen is now a grandmother, still very happily married to her "boy from the other side of the tracks" who recently retired after a successful career. Sometimes, the kids know themselves better than the old folks.
So, to answer your question "What should we do?"
1- Demand that our school systems provide adequate sex education from the grade school level on. Children are entering puberty at an earlier and earlier age. Pre-teen pregnancies are not unheard of.
2- Insist that schools and other social service agencies have adequate staff, funding and training to provide education and counseling to at-risk teens. This is something that must be done at the local level and if you are not fighting for these services in your community, you are contributing to the problem.
2- Support Planned Parenthood and other such organizations in our communities. The purpose of these organizations is not to prevent conception, it is to prevent [u][b]unwanted[u][b] conception.
3- Talk, really talk, to our children and grandchildren, and, yes, dammit! to our friends and neighbors. Probably the biggest contributor to this very real problem is the tendency to treat this as something dirty to be swept under the rug.
Like any other problem that affects our communities, people who put their hands to work finding solutions don't have time to throw them up in despair.
All IMHO, as always.

This quilt was a birthday present for Carrie made back in November, and I don't know why I never posted these pictures. I also not sure why I never made a small, wall-size quilt before this one either. It was really cute and came together without any fuss.
Remember the sweet, little sachet from a few months back? I had another one of the embroidery kits, so I made a second one into this very small quilt. You might recognize some of the other fabrics – some bits of other quilts – I love when the fabrics I have come together so well, and I can even find a little extra binding fabric all ready to go! Not quite sure where Carrie is going to put it, but I have a feeling we might see a picture of it hanging somewhere pretty soon… although we'll have to wait for Carrie to fill us in on those details soon.

Point-Counterpoint – J-Dub and SportsChump on the Growing Popularity of the NHL
To understand this latest J-Dub/SportsChump collaboration, you need to know that the exceptionally Floridian SportsChump is a recent convert to the religion known as hockey fandom. To most, the idea of ice hockey and Floridians seems as natural a mix as Navy Seals at a Tupperware party, but it actually isn't that strange if you give it just a bit of thought. Allow us to explain…
I have a friend who's a hockey fan. Actually, I have a few friends that are hockey fans but this one's more ornery than most. He and I sometimes debate about sports and stuff. Perhaps you've heard of him. His name is J-Dub and he writes for this quasi-pornographic website called Dubsism. He's the kind of writer I want to be when I grow up.
Well, since hockey season has officially started and Mr. Dub is always trying to convince me about the merits of hockey, along with the shame that comes from living in Florida, I thought we'd host a little conversation about hockey in Florida.
As you all know, I live in the Tampa Bay area, an area which hosts itself a pretty good hockey team. J-Dub would probably argue that we don't deserve a team that good, if any team at all, but I'll let him speak for himself. In a city whose sports teams cannot draw fans, the Lightning organization has done things the right way. In fact (homer alert), this team could be on a pace to win the Stanley Cup (again) within the next few years. They've got a founder in Phil Esposito (hockey lifer), a solid GM in Steve Yzerman (hockey lifer) and an owner in Jeffrey Vinik who's willing to spare no expense in putting a quality product on the ice. Vinik is so effective as an owner that he recently got Bill Gates to invest in an area in Tampa that nobody even frequents.
So, Dub, let's start this ice party off with a bang, shall we? I'm watching hockey now. Does that make you feel better at night? I even went and bought myself a t-shirt and a hat for the next game I attend. As an avid sports but fledgling hockey fan, am I worthy of rooting for the sport you cherish or am I the kind of bandwagoning fool you despise?
First off, let's get a couple of things straight. A while back, Ryan Meehan and I clearly delineated what is hockey territory and what isn't.
Point – Counterpoint: Fantasy Football Sucks
Editor's Note: This article is a collaborative effort between J-Dub and Ryan Meehan from First Order Historians. Ryan also has his own blog, East End Philadelphia, which is featured in the Dubsism BlogRoll and it is well worth the read.
Like it or not, fantasy football has become a multi-million dollar business. That's right, what was once simply just a way to get some non-traditional gambling action on the NFL or a more sporting way of announcing to the world you live in your parent's basement has become a juggernaut of its own. That's right, now fantasy football is for more than guys who wear "Mr. Spock" ears while they are down-loading nude photos of that chick from "Big Bang Theory," and not the hot blond one, either…we're talking about the one who looks like a short, white version of Scottie Pippen.
That notwithstanding, in this installment of Point-Counterpoint we will break down the pros and cons of fantasy football. As the commissioner of just such a league, J-Dub will take the "Pro" side. Since Meehan is a guy who thinks anybody in a fantasy football league should be fed to giant, Iranian flash-eating cockroaches, he seems like a natural for "con."
1) It Attracts Too Many "Casual Fans"
Point – Counterpoint: The Basketball World Cup Is Pointless
By J-Dub and Ryan Meehan
Editor's Note: This article is a collaborative effort between J-Dub and Ryan Meehan from First Order Historians. Ryan also has his own blog, East End Philadelphia, which is featured in the Dubsism BlogRoll and it is well worth the read.
Every four years, the world governing body of soccer (FIFA) holds the pinnacle event in the sport; the World Cup. Just a few months back, we all saw what a spectacle it is; it is a global event second only to the Olympics. What many of you probably didn't know is that basketball has a similar organization. The Fédération de Internationale de Basketball (FIBA) does the same for hoops as FIFA does for soccer. Similarly, FIBA also hosts a World Cup, which it is trying to make as large of an event as its soccer counterpart.
The trouble is this event has gone largely unnoticed in the country which is the king of basketball. The average American never even heard of the Basketball World Cup, until a few weeks ago when the Indiana Pacers' Paul George did his best Barbaro impression during a Team USA scrimmage. The echo from his snapping leg bones hadn't even stopped yet when the debate started. On one side, there is a school of thought in America which believes the basketball World Cup is incredibly pointless. On the opposite side is a group who see great value in international competition.
In this installment of Point – Counterpoint, Meehan takes up the cause of the "America First" crowd, which collides head-on with J-Dubs' belief the growth potential of all sports, not just basketball, is in the global arena.
1) What Started All This: The Potential for Injuries
Guest Column: Joe McGrath vs. Dan Aykroyd – Point/Counterpoint on Peyton Manning
Rumors have been circulating for a while now about the future of future NFL Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning. We all know the situation; his neck has been surgically rebuilt twice, and there are serious concerns as to whether he can ever or even should play football again. Coupled with the fact the Colts have collapsed so completely they seem to be a lock for the first pick in April's NFL draft, a pick certainly to be shackled to Andrew Luck, the most-coveted college quarterback since John Elway, Manning finds his future to be very uncertain.
Today, our guest columnists will debate the future of the four-time NFL MVP. Mr. McGrath will be taking the "Manning must go" position, while Mr. Aykroyd will be taking the "Peyton should stay" position.
Editor's Note: Mr. McGrath has long and storied history in the management of professional sports franchises, most notably as the general manager of the Charlestown Chiefs of the now-defunct Federal League. Oh, and this is probably a good time to mention that Mr. McGrath's views are his own, and do not necessarily reflect those of Dubsism, our staff, or anybody else whose house you might want to burn to the ground.
Manning Must Go
It is time to face the facts. Stick a fork in Peyton Manning; he is done. I know nobody in Indiana wants to hear that, but it is a hard dose of truth Colts fans need to accept.
Even if Manning proves able to play at a high level again, even if doctors clear him for the skeletal re-arrangement playing in the NFL promises, there's no guarantee that Manning isn't one shot to that surgically-rebuilt neck away from being a potted plant Colts' fans visit at the home twice a week to water.
If that weren't enough, look at what sort of team he'd be leading. If you think this team is 0-11 simply because of the absence of Manning, you likely can't read the top line of the eye chart.
The the best adjectives for the defense are "old" and "bad." Granted, the Colt offense has never really been a factor, but now that the offense has completely fallen apart means this team is due for a complete overhaul.
The offensive line is shaky enough to be considered a rival to the San Andreas fault, and it isn't going to bet any better with Jeff Saturday and Ryan Diem likely to be gone. As far as the receiving corps is concerned, Reggie Wayne is likely leaving for his last decent contract elsewhere, Austin Collie and Dallas Clark are now too injury-prone to make a significant difference, and Pierre Garçon may be the most over-rated wide-out in all of the NFL. If that weren't enough, the Colts have no realistic running game to fall back on.
In other words, it is time to start over in Indianapolis. Much like you have to knock down some walls when you remodel, the pillar known as Peyton Manning needs to come out of the Colts' house.
Cutting Manning loose frees up money for such a remodeling project. If Manning's contracts is jettisoned before June 1, 2012, the Colts save against the salary cap, losing close to $90 million in future commitments for Manning's haeavily back-end loaded deal, owing only $3.4 million in salary and a $3 million roster bonus in 2012. The rest of that money can go into the piggy back the Colts need for winning the "Suck for Luck" sweepstakes.
The bottom line: Peyton Manning is the past, not the future.
Editor's Note: Mr. Aykroyd was the station manager for the news division of Saturday Night Live, particularly it's Point/Counterpoint segment in which both sides of a current story were debated. This is exactly the role Mr. Aykroyd will play for us here at Dubsism. Again, Mr. Aykroyd's's views are those of the fictional newsman he portrayed, not those of the actual Dan Aykroyd (if he is even still alive), do not necessarily reflect those of Dubsism, our staff, or anybody else you might be thinking of suing.
Peyton Should Stay
Joe, you ignorant slut. When you said "Suck for Luck," I thought you said "suck for a buck." That would make more sense since you seem to be willing to swallow more than just words that get put in your mouth.
If you got off your knees once in a while, you would realize Manning isn't finished. He's just recovering from a serious injury. Manning told reporters Sunday that he's set to have another X-ray on his surgically repaired neck today, but gave no further information on how his rehab is progressing.
I think we can safely assume that the Colts and Manning know a lot more about this situation then they are telling us. There's a reason why the Colts have refused to place him on season-ending Injured Reserve, and there's a reason we keep hearing about a December return. Today's check-up for Manning might just mean thye comeback is on; after all, tomorrow is December 1st.
Manning represents hope; Colts fans believe Peyton gives them a chance to return to the winning ways. Who are you to take that away from them?
Who makes a better mentor for the young Luck than the veteran Manning? Don't give that twaddle about money; there's ways to get around salary cap issues.
You speak of bottom lines, but you miss the obvious one. If Manning proves to be healthy, given the current state of NFL quarterbacks, he has value that you seem to ignore.
If this injury does in fact prove to be the end for the four-time MVP, then so be it. But there is no way arguably the greatest quarterback to ever play the game should be forced out based on the whim of some dried-out old boozebag of a general manager.

I kind of want to go back in time and tell the March version of myself who didn't see the point of having Adam Lind on the roster that he's an idiot.
I remember it, too, but I feel better seeing a concentrated six game meltdown that was corrected than if that meltdown had occurred once every six games.
Question for Red Sox fans: Is there anything to read into Lester's recent performance other than randomness?
Van Slyke has made a second career out of telling people his postseason failures were someone else's fault, rather than discuss his .190/.255/.320 career playoff line.
The Giants' outfield has been absolutely incredible this weekend.
Seriously though, I can't imagine that anybody saw Lind's season coming.
Is that was it looked like to you?

Moto-Mikey rides the Americas
Hi YFF's.
I left in late July from Alaska and have been riding South since. The plan is to do a loop around South America and then who knows.. maybe South East Asia, maybe NZ/AUZ, or maybe back home.
I'm 28 and have no wife/kids, so no time limit or responsibilities to take care of. For the past few years, I served on active duty military and was last stationed in Alaska along with one deployment to Afghanistan. A few months ago my service commitment was up, so I sold nearly everything I had, packed up the bike and took off.
In the last few months I've made the trek to Prudhoe Bay, spent a few days riding the Continental Divide Trail, visited nearly a dozen National Parks, ridden the entire Blue Ridge Parkway and drank beer with the cartel in Copper Canyon.
Currently I'm in Southern Mexico and will be heading over into Belize and Guatemala in the next few weeks.
I've got a blog going, which I've been updating nearly every day. I wasn't actually going to post a ride report here since I think my writing and photography skills suck but all my friends/family seem to be enjoying it so far.. maybe they're just being nice Anyways, here it goes.
I'm going to attempt to cross post here for YFF's entertainment and to answer questions/comments. I Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I am living it

SAN CARLOS PARK, Fla. - A massive fire fills the sky over southwest Florida with smoke Tuesday night.
It happened in an industrial area off Alico Road and U.S. 41.
The fire broke out in a storage area for modular trailers, used sometimes for extra school rooms or construction offices. Four of them were destroyed.
Nobody was inside any of the trailers, but property owner James Whitehead says they were sitting very close together, making the fire easy to spread.
"Normally, they'd be out on different sites, the economy's so bad, nobody's got money to rent 'em," Whitehead said.
Lightning a possible cause, according to firefighters. Thunderstorms were moving over the area at the time the fire began.
The trailers' remote location in this industrial area made the availability of water a problem for firefighters; the nearest hydrant was several hundred feet away.
"When you have a distance like that, you're going to lose pressure, and then splitting it again, going into two trucks, it became a real issue here at this fire," said Susan Lindenmuth with Estero Fire.
Fire investigators were on the scene to confirm a cause.

How do you deal with the dreaded laundry pile?

I have certain days for certain things, and do laundry pretty much every day.
Monday is sheets; Tuesday is bathroom laundry; Wednesday is kitchen laundry; Friday is HS's laundry and DH's work clothes; and several times a week I wash the diapers, the little boys' clothes, and my and DH's everyday clothes, but that's on an as-needed basis.

So how do you all deal with laundry?
Lets see ~ I try to do at least 2 loads of laundry a day. My three oldest kiddos each have thier own baskets. My 16 year old does his own laundry from start to finish. I wash and dry the laundry for my 13 and 11 year olds, they are responsible for hanging and folding and putting away their own clothes. I wash dry fold and put away my 3 year old, DH and my own clothes. Though my 3 year old does help fold towels and washrags. :)
I have found that each of the older children having their own baskets has been a real time saver when it comes to sorting clothes and them being put away.

That description ironically fit Obama supporter Chris Rock earlier this year. Rock called the Tea Party movement racist in a 2011 interview in Esquire magazine. That prompted conservative journalist Jason Mattera to ask Rock on camera back in January why he made such disparaging comments. Instead of defending his position, Rock went on the offensive. Literally. The former "Saturday Night Live" star grew instantly outraged and snatched the camera out of the hands of the petite blonde woman working alongside Mattera. Rock then threw the camera in hopes of breaking it. Apparently, that didn't happen. The Hollywood Reporter quotes a representative for the comedian saying Rock's attorney "was looking into the video."

Admiral Elmo Russell Zumwalt, the charismatic Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and "the Navy's most popular leader since WWII" (Time) was a man who embodied honor, courage, and commitment to those under his command. In a naval career spanning forty years, he rose to the top echelon of the US Navy, as a commander of all Navy forces in Vietnam and then as CNO (1970-1974). His tenure came at a time of scandal and tumult, from the Soviet's challenge to U.S. naval supremacy and a duplicitous endgame in Vietnam to Watergate and an admirals' spy ring. Unlike many other senior naval officers, Zumwalt successfully enacted radical change, including the integration of the most racist branch of the military--an achievement that made him the target of bitter personal recriminations. His fight to modernize a technologically obsolete fleet pitted him against such formidable adversaries as Henry Kissinger and Hyman Rickover. Ultimately, Zumwalt created a more egalitarian Navy as well as a smaller and modernized fleet better prepared to cope with a changing world--a policy that has helped keep the navy a modern and relevant fighting force. But Zumwalt's professional success was marred by personal loss, including the unwitting role he played in his son's death from Agent Orange. Retiring from the service in 1974, Zumwalt spearheaded a citizen education and mobilization effort to successful help others in securing reparations for thousands of Vietnam veterans and their children. That activism earned him the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, awarded by Bill Clinton in 1998. Today, his tombstone at the U.S. Naval Academy is inscribed with one word: Reformer.

Here's an incredibly simple technique that will radically improve the effectiveness of any online presentation, meetings or training session. All you need to do is count to five slowly.
Managing change isn't easy. It's even harder when people are scattered across time zones, oceans and departments. Change is both inevitable and necessary. But it doesn't have to be messy. So how can you effectively lead change in remote teams?
Project management and team leadership are often viewed as chess games. But there's one important difference. Those pieces on the chess board aren't human. Your team members are - and they need to be treated accordingly.
Speaking to large groups online can be deeply disconcerting. Why? Because even in a one-way, lecture-type of presentation, you're getting all kinds of feedback. But doing it virtually feels like you're talking into a void.
Like baseball, every workplace has "unwritten rules" about how things work. That's great, until something goes wrong. Since teamwork is a fragile dynamic at the best of times, it's a good idea to determine the behaviors you expect from each other and make them explicit.
It's a simple question: "why is this meeting different from every other meeting?" But if you are mindful as to your meeting's purpose and desired outcome, you will accomplish far more than if you approach it as an empty ritual.
Having faith is a wonderful thing. But today's project and functional teams need to run on trust. Why? Because unlike faith, trust is evidence-based, built on measurable results and can be restored through hard work.
If virtual meetings aren't real meetings, what are they? What purpose do they serve? So if we think about webmeetings and conferences as meetings first, and technology-enabled communication second, it could make a huge difference in the outcome.
If you feel that no one is paying attention on your conference calls, don't worry about it. You're not alone. Calls need to be managed to maintain focus and involvement. So plan them , don't expect them to just magically happen.
With performance review season looming, how should remote team leaders be evaluated? While the differences between managing remotely and co-locating are few, they are significant, and your terms of reference need to reflect that reality.
It doesn't matter what you call it, the fact is that every team needs is a set of communication guidelines to help them work together more effectively. So what does one of these communication agreements look like - and how do you go about creating one?
We all know how important it is for managers to coach team members. But with remote teams, coaching conversations can be particularly tough to get right. Here's how to get round the lack of non-verbal cues to make your remote coaching sessions more effective.
Good managers understand the importance of "one-on-ones". But what if we are spending so much time on individual communication that we inadvertently create a problem for the team as a whole?
As any long-suffering IT support pro will tell you, many people use technology unbelievably badly. Just how badly is a real shock. So how long does it take to recognize that this skills gap is a real problem and to address it in a way that gets you some of your wasted time and money back?
Virtual teams may be shaking up organizational dynamics, but the fundamentals of how to lead a team are the same whether its members are all based in the same building as you or scattered across four continents.
Choices don't have to be binary. So embracing webinars and virtual meetings doesn't mean you'll never get together in person again. Nor does opting for a face-to-face meeting mean you have to turn your back on the wonders of technology.

European Court of Human Rights' verdicts binding for CE members
15 Jun 2007 Flash News
Slovakia's Supreme Court decided in favour of Slovakia's lower courts on June 13 and against the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The lower courts fined a journalist Sk15,000 (€440) in 1997 for violating the libel law - despite the fact that the European court ruled last autumn that the Slovak courts had violated Martin Klein's rights as a journalist, the Sme daily reported on June 14.
The courts in Košice found Klein guilty of libel for an article he wrote in the Domino Efekt weekly about Bratislava-Trnava Archbishop Ján Sokol, after the latter had appeared on television in 1997.
Lawyer Jozef Vozár of the State and Law Institute disagrees however, saying that the Strasbourg court's rulings are binding for Slovak courts.

Douglas Rotberg, managing director of Tesco Cars, will share his views on online strategy and brand loyalty at the upcoming AM Used Car Market Conference 2011.
Tesco Cars says that, although the majority of used car buyers will still want to 'kick the tyres' and buy from a forecourt, its new channel is providing an alternative option for those happy to buy remotely and "buy rather than be sold to".
This session will explore the how brand loyalty and the changing dynamic of online purchasing can bring immediate success to a business.
Rotberg, who founded the online business Carsite prior to its relaunch earlier this year as Tesco Cars, will also be available for a Q&A after his session.
The conference takes place on Tuesday October 11 at the National Motorcycle Museum near Birmingham and is sponsored by BCA, Auto Trader & WMS Group.
Other speakers include Jay Nagley, managing director of Spyder Redspy, Mark King, group digital sales and marketing manager at Benfield Motor Group, Chris Mason, managing director of Motor Codes, Simon Bowkett, managing director of Symco Training, Eric Stone, business development director of WMS Group and Adrian Rushmore, managing editor at Glass's Guide.
Fresh business thinking on offer includes:
•Using science to drive profitability
•The future of the prestige market
•Digital innovations
•Stock control and supply
•Introducing a new code of practice; building trust
•Best practice case studies
Those that attend the conference will also be given a free copy of the BCA Used Car Market Report 2011 to take away.
Early bird offer until September 13
Continually striving to help the industry, AM is committed to helping dealers in their day-to-day operations and has made available an early bird offer saving £50 + VAT off the full ticket price if booked before September 13.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson would be 'honored' to return next season
A report surfaced Tuesday that the Arizona Diamondbacks plan to bring back manager Kirk Gibson next season.
Gibson said he hasn't been a part of any discussions with team management, but he hopes there's something to that report.
"I hope it's true. I'd be honored to come back," Gibson told Burns and Gambo Tuesday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
"We've got these remaining days of August to get through, and September's a whole other thing, who do we bring up for that� and when the organization feels it's time to proceed beyond that, they'll let us know and then we'll take care of it."
The D-backs' 2014 season obviously hasn't gone as well as fans hoped it would, but Gibson said he's optimistic about the future of the team and the progress that young players such as shortstop Didi Gregorius and third baseman Jake Lamb have made.
"There's a lot of good things going on around here, and though the season is disappointing, we remain energized and pushing forward, and I hope I'm a part of that," he said.

Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh said efforts were on to find a settlement with organisations, demanding checking the entry of outsiders to the State. As many as 28 activists arrested for launching such a campaign were released unconditionally on Saturday.
However, the activists, who formed a Joint Action Committee, said the campaign would be intensified. Non-locals could not enter the residential areas till June 15 for hawking items.
They intercepted buses and private vehicles along highway 2 to force them to return.
Mr. Singh assured citizens that the State would get tough with activists who harass them.

text: Obama to Supporters: Spam Facebook, Twitter During Debate Print article Send a Tip by Ben Shapiro 3 Oct 2012 post a comment Barack Obama's "Truth Team" – the most Orwellian name for a campaign organization in recent memory – has unleashed an email this afternoon calling on its supporters to spam Facebook, Twitter, and other social media with pro-Obama propaganda during the debate. Stephanie Cutter, the deputy campaign manager for Obama, writes: Benjamin -- Tonight's debate will be an important moment in this election. The pundits will have a lot to say about it, but they don't have the final word -- you do. So if you think President Obama does a good job tonight, say so. Post about it on Facebook, tweet about it, email your friends, and write about it on your Tumblr (if you're into that sort of thing). We'll have stuff on barackobama.com/debate before, during, and after the debate that will help you talk about the President's accomplishments and respond to Mitt Romney's attacks, so get online early for coverage of the whole debate. Stick around afterwards, too -- Vice President Biden will be doing an exclusive post-debate livestream with supporters on the site …. Getting the facts out is more important than ever tonight -- make sure you have President Obama's back, and please, spread the word: http://my.barackobama.com/Debates Thanks for all your help, Stephanie P.S. -- If you're on Twitter, make sure you're following me (@stefcutter) and @TruthTeam2012 for real-time updates and fact checks. So get ready, social media, for the Obama Army!

High quality
Reviewed By Chris W (SAN FRANCISCO, CA) —9/15/2014 3:03 PM
This review is for the 450P-automatic. I have used this once to fill up four trailer tires. Had to use jumper cables to extend the line, since the trailer was connected to my truck at the time. Filled up the tires fairly quickly from 42 to 65 psi. The auto shut off is a nice feature. Every thing in the kit is top notch quality wise. Expect this will last a long, long time. So the price is worth it in my opinion.
Very nice unit

Compressor is well built, compact, works fine and comes with a nice storage bag. My only complaint about the unit is the air gauge is off by at least nine pounds and can't be relied on. I have a pickup truck with a 6.5 feet bed and will need a second air hose to reach the back tires but I expected this when I ordered the compressor. Overall, a great little compressor.
