Glenn McCleister was like many of his clients before he became a licensed massage therapist—in pain and seeking relief just about everywhere. After incurring a back injury, he embarked on a futile journey that took him numerous medical specialists' offices but didn't produce results. Eventually, he ended up on a massage table and found that the therapeutic massages he was receiving were helping his back in a way the specialists weren't able to provide. After that experience, he changed courses in his life and decided to pay his knowledge forward with his own practice.
That's how he came to start Even Flow Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. Today he provides deep-tissue, medical, and myofascial release massages with the greater goal of facilitating healing, when appropriate. Glenn also offers calming Swedish massages to help clients find inner peace and relief from strangers on the street who go around singing the words "inner peace" off-key.
Nestled inside the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Mandara Spa provides a luxurious escape from the bustle of the Strip. The 25,500 square foot space devotes every inch to relaxing and beautifying clients, whether they seek a skin-brightening facial or an exfoliating body treatment. Signature services, such as the Mandara stone therapy massage, combine soothing therapies with aromatic oils to further rejuvenate recipients. Couples can retire to private suites, enjoying custom services in spaces outfitted with whirlpool baths and whirlpool-free lounges.
The plush amenities extend beyond the spa's treatment rooms. Guests can take a dip into a cold plunge pool, or work up a healthful sweat in the eucalyptus steam room or dry sauna. The facility also features a fitness center, complete with cardio equipment and free weights.
There's no shortage of spas in Las Vegas, but Elements Therapeutic Massage has already managed to distinguish itself since its grand opening in June 2013. It's easy to see why?the studio's licensed therapists focus on results above all else, and each of their numerous massage techniques has been carefully selected to alleviate chronic pain and improve muscles' range of motion. Elements divides its service menu into six styles, which range from light Swedish strokes to penetrating trigger-point techniques. The therapists may apply a combination of massage styles depending on your individual needs; sometimes, they even supplement their handiwork with hot stones and soothing tap-dance routines.
Beauty pros combine massages and skincare for ultimate pampering at Enrich Massage and Skincare. A pair of experienced massage therapists specialize in Swedish, therapeutic, deep-tissue, sports, Thai, and pregnancy massages to help relax tense muscles or overcome injuries from rowing a canoe through wet cement. Each therapist accommodates a single guest at a time inside an intimate massage studio. Licensed aestheticians use the Pastiche Method skin analysis to determine the best course of treatment to blast through acne, sop up excess oil, or smooth fine lines. To top off fresh faces, a Bella Lash–certified pro customizes eyelash extensions according to desired length and thickness and to best complement your eye shape and favorite cat breed.
Whether you've been spending too many late nights out or you just carry extra tension in your shoulders, the pros at Platinum Massage and Facials use their signature treatments to help you truly relax. Stress melts away with Swedish, hot-stone, or lomilomi massages, some of which get a boost from a G5 massage machine that adds warmth and makes massages even more productive.
Aestheticians are also on board to keep skin looking fresh with microdermabrasion, peels, and facials to aid in hydration and skin health. But above all, the treatments here aim to promote well-being, helping clients leave feeling more grounded and relaxed than when they arrived or the last time they listened to an Enya album.
Bella Vita Boutique Spa blends two specific trades: massage therapy and skincare. Licensed massage therapist Pablo Poloni unites with licensed aesthetician Georgina Poloni to bring their extensive training and experience to clients, pampering them with custom bodywork treatments and facials. Massage options include hot-stone, medical, and couples massages with aromatherapy and foot scrubs. Skincare services include a signature facial with an aromatic sweet orange steam, and an organic facial that uses plant extracts such as argan oil, coconut oil, shea butter, and aloe vera to invigorate skin. In all, the spa offers 10 different facial options, as well as waxing services.

Early in her book A Walk with Jane Austen, about her trip to England to follow in her literary idol's footsteps, Lori Smith writes, "I've always felt a kinship with Jane . . . a closeness many of her readers wrongly assume. She feels like a dear friend. Could we meet her, though, she would no doubt find the ridiculous in us, wherever it lurks."
As her last sentence suggests, this is no ordinary Austen tribute — which is something of a relief, as a walk through the local Borders or a scroll through Amazon brings up enough of such tributes to make up their own subgenre. The Seattle Times, for example, aptly called the January 2008 PBS Austen extravaganza an "Austen orgy." An article in the Washington Post's Book World, roughly contemporaneous to the PBS airing, put it in this way: "A scan of recent Darcy literature yields almost two dozen titles, including period sequels that extend the life stories of the Darcys, the Bennets, and the Bingleys, as well as present-day encounters with Darcy reincarnations, ghosts or plain old fantasies." In fact, a search for "Mr. Darcy" yields more results than a search for the author's own name.
Amusing as that particular trend can be, it suggests something worth taking seriously. The Post suggests that in an age saturated with media coverage of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, "Why wouldn't we be wistful for the rules of conduct that shaped Austen and her characters? Our unpredictable, aggressive world makes the drawing rooms of Austen's era a refuge."
One could go even further and ask to what extent the throwing off of Austen's kind of values contributed to the aggressiveness of the society we know — and yet relatively few Austen aficionados seem to have drawn this connection, or investigated those values in any real depth. Consider Bridget Jones's Diary, the wildly popular update of Pride and Prejudice from a few years back. The sex life of the heroine, supposedly based on Elizabeth Bennet, would have shocked her counterpart, who had a few old-fashioned ideas about "how little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue."
Smith's (with whom I blog at "The Point") point of entry is precisely this interest in Christian virtues; Smith shares not only Austen's delight in a good love story, but also Austen's keen observational skills, her dry humor, and, most significantly, her Christian faith.
Granted, the book begins with the frank observation, "I've always loved Jane Austen. Or perhaps it would be more correct to say that I, like so many women, think Colin Firth [of the BBC's Pride and Prejudice] as Mr. Darcy is the ideal man." From that most conventional of Austenite beginnings, however, Smith takes a widely divergent path. The curiosity about Austen which drove Smith to England was about more than just her idol's literary prowess or romantic ideals.

After 17 years as a professional fighter and nine titles, kickboxing and karate champion Brian Schwartz stepped out of retirement to try his fists at MMA. A broken hand and, subsequently, the first professional loss of his career slowed him down, but not for long?the next year, he returned to face and beat that opponent. Naturally enough for a man who can?t let a new challenge go untested, Schwartz then turned his focus to a new endeavor: the creation of Undisputed Boxing Gym, where he would share the secrets of the fight with a new generation.
Schwartz has assembled a dynamic staff of fighters with backgrounds in jujitsu, boxing, tae kwon do, and kickboxing to train both aspiring fighters and average fitness enthusiasts. Students can tone up and learn self-defense techniques or even chase a spot in the gym's amateur competitive program. The sweat flows in expansive training facilities that include a tae kwon do dojo, a cycling studio, a set of 40 Everlast heavy bags, and displays that track class progress as well as show the music videos for the songs being played. An in-house chiropractor helps align muscles and massages away any knots from learning an especially brutal tickle submission.
Jeff Smith, a college swim coach and swim-club aquatics director, and Joan Smith, an NCAA all-American swimmer and triathlete, joined forces to open a swim academy that teaches youngsters how to swim safely while having fun. The pair operates two facilities, each with its own heated pool staffed by instructors who have all graduated from King's Swim Academy's training program. Their program begins with Parent and Me classes for kids as young as 6 months old, which introduce children to the water and teach basic skills such as kicking and changing their own diaper underwater. As students progress through the levels, they eventually learn skills such as freestyle swimming, backstroke, flip turns, and survival swimming. Instructors also lead a swim-technique and fitness class that prepares swimmers for swim team while promoting a healthy lifestyle and honing stroke skills.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Microsoft in June 2013.
Great set-up and follow-up. I went through three 1-hour long interviews and then a 2 hour long interview with a GM. Interviewers were professional, personal, interested and asked good questions.

Senior Marketing Manager Interview
Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral. The process took a day – interviewed at Microsoft in April 2012.
Interview DetailsI was referred by an employee to the hiring manager who is in the process of creating a new group at Microsoft. He seemed very unprepared, was more concerned about the presentation he was about to make to other internal employees who were interested in the position. We spoke for about 45 minutes and he did most of the talking. He asked me to put together a one-pager on why I would be a good fit for the role, which I did, and then didn't hear back from him.

Senior Marketing Manager Interview
Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Microsoft in November 2011.
Interview DetailsAfter two phone screenings I had a full day of four interviews. The first was from a HR person looking for a 'fit'. The second was with the hiring manager for a chat about the role and to get a feel of me. Finally I was brought in and interviewed with a one person from the organization that I was joining and three from other groups. They asked the normal: how would you do in this role, describe other roles with failure or success. What kind of person are you - the normal stuff. Some good questions about my background experience though.
Interview Questions- Tell me about something you tried to do in one of your teams but the rest of the team totally disagreed with you. View Answer
- If you were to start tomorrow, what would you do to make an immediate impact? View Answer
- How do you work in a matrix organization? View Answer
Negotiation DetailsI was able to negotiate everything but starting level - salary, bonus, starting date. I was told that there wasn't much room and my friends at Microsoft said two different things - one said 'don't try to negotiate' while the others said 'negotiate'. I think if they really want you, they will negotiate but understand that it takes management approval for much more than they offer so be conservative.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview -

Senior Marketing Manager Interview
Application DetailsI applied through other source. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at Microsoft in August 2011.
Interview DetailsI had 5 one-hour long interviews in the same day. Two weeks later I was contacted by the hiring manager, that told me I got selected for the job and the HR would schedule one additional interview with the General Manager of the department.
For all 6 interviews the HR person asked me for 4 options of days that I could be available. Then, they returned with the date I should block. One day before the interview I received the name of the interviewer, time and place (building/room number). I had to walk towards each Office where the interviews were conducted.
All interviewers were very cordial and gave me their full attention during the interview. I felt very well treated by them. The first interview was more about my personal preferences of communication, working environment and working style. The second interview was with a "future" peer that asked me technically questions aiming to verify my knowledge. The third and forth interviewers were with very Senior persons that talked about many things and I can't say what they were trying to check. My 5th interview in that day was with the hiring manager and it happened at 4 pm. At that time I was completely exhausted. The hiring manager was a fantastic character and he manage to make the interview very relaxed and enjoyable. At that time he already had received feedback from the other interviewers and he double checked some of my answers. He also asked me to say one or two sentences about each person I had the chance to talk with. He finished the interview with just 40 minutes rather than 1 hour. Initially, that bothered me because I concluded that I could be of no more interest to him. But, before I left his office he made clear that he was empathetic with my full day of interviews, with all the tension it generates and that I had showed to be a very good candidate, hence there were no need for prolonging the stress. He also told me to wait for 1 or 2 weeks while they would be interviewing two other candidates.
The last interview happened about 2 weeks later and it was just 30 minutes. The General manager was very friendly and had a very impressive resume. She walked along her department aisles introducing me to other employees and also showed off 4 very cool special offices dedicated for special tasks performed by her team.Interview Questions- Suppose that you are working in a very political environment, where people keep hidden agendas, they have no formal reasons to help you and your project depend on them.

Senior Marketing Manager Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Microsoft in March 2011.
Interview DetailsI was contacted by a recruiter who completed an initial phone screen. A week or so later, a phone interview was set up with the hiring manager, which went well. Then another week or so later, the recruiter called to schedule an in-person interview and begin travel arrangements.
Travel was rescheduled once due to a scheduling conflict with the hiring manager.
I flew out the day before and arrived at the office in the morning. The on-site interview began with the recruiter and then a series of peers to the role, a key customer to the role and finally the hiring manager. I was there for almost the entire day and pretty wiped out by the time I met the hiring manager... a little jet lagged too.
I thought everything went swimmingly, even the "bad cop" interviewer which MS is know to use in their interviewing process, until the end of the day... Questions throughout were focused and challenging. Conversations were engaging and friendly.
Ultimately, I was not made an offer but given good feedback as to why. Communication throughout was good. Travel coordination was simple and expense reimbursement was all automated and painless.
Their online systems used to manage the process were a bit tricky but usable.Interview Questions- How would you develop a strategy to market this product? View Answer

Senior Marketing Manager Interview
Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Microsoft in December 2010.
Interview DetailsI was contacted by a recruiter after the hiring manager was forwarded my resume in response to an internal email he sent out.
Had a phone interview with the recruiter - basic questions on work status, do you need a visa, why do you want this job etc. I think this is meant to assess fit and the recruiter was very nice and gave me lots of information on the team etc. However, the role itself was not very clear.
I heard back within 2-3 days and she set up a phone interview with someone in the team for a week later.
The phone interview was fine. Again, seemed more like a 'get to know you' fit type of interview. He was very willing to answer my questions about the work they did in the team. He gave me some information on the role.
Heard back from recruiter in 2-3 days and she set up another interview, this time with the hiring manager for another week down the line.
More fit questions. A little more on my experience and some situational questions. The hiring manager gave me job information that was different to what I had got the first time. Nevertheless, it seemed to go well.
Recruiter again got in touch within 2-3 days and said she would arrange a full interview loop - supposedly 4 interviews over 5 hours.
I went in a week later for the in-person interviews. Ended up having 7 interviews over the entire day. The interview process was very disorganized. Half the people interviewing me didn't seem to know till that they were going to have to do so and didn't have my resume or know who I was and what role I was being considered for. Some of the interviewers were not even related to the team I was considering. All in all, a shambles.
The interviews themselves were a mixture of fit, experience and case-study type questions. I was glad to have read up on the industry and knowing about the company. It was important to be able to relate my experience to the role because I don't have technology experience. One thing that was strange was that the hiring manager's manager gave me a third job description. So, it seemed like no one knew what they wanted this role to do. Not impressed!
I didn't get an offer - the reason they gave was that they went with an internal candidate. So, that's that! Though I do wonder why they interviewed me if they had an internal candidate lined up?Interview Questions- What woudl you do if you were a company about to launch a new electronic product and on the eve of the launch, you were told that there was an Apple product being releasted?

Senior Marketing Manager Interview
Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral – interviewed at Microsoft in October 2010.
Interview Details6-8 Multiple people in interview loop. Questions covered background experience, situational analysis to brain teasers.
Interview Questions- Brain teasers were ridiculous. If you're a fan of IQ test, then it's a great prep. I don't think these sort of questions really test anything other than the fact that you can see patterns and answer quizzes. I got multiple offers from Microsoft, but they could have done without these silly questions. I think smart, effective people come in many forms and factors. And there are many approaches to learning and to contributing. I think MSFT's downfall is in how they recruit. Not everyone on a team should be a hungry hyper 'A' type. What sort of team environment is that? Answer Question

Senior Marketing Manager Interview
Application DetailsI applied through a recruiter. The process took a day – interviewed at Microsoft in December 2009.
Interview DetailsThe recruiter found me from my profile on LinkedIn so I was very flattered to be considered for a position I wasn't aware of. After an initial phone interview, I was brought to the office for a series of 1:1 interviews with the HR recruiter, the hiring manager, the organization GM and a cross-functional partner. I spent 1 hour with the hiring manager and 1/2 hour with each of the others. The interviews went well and I was getting a lot of positive verbal and non-verbal feedback during the interview. The conversations were not entirely formal Q & A format and I enjoyed the experience. I did get some questions around "how would you...?" so I asked a lot of clarifying and background questions before I answered. I had the impression that there was hesitancy to hire an external candidate as the hiring manager discussed with me that the 2 most recent hires had been external and they were not getting up to speed quick enough after 3 months or so. I tried to allieviate these reservations by emphasizing my many years of experience, how I am a self-starter and come from a prior company with a complicated matrix organization that is in perpetual change mode, etc. Alas, they offered to an internal candidate although the recruiter indicated they really liked me and it was a 'tough decision' and that if they 'had 2 positions they would have hired me,' etc. I have been staying in touch with this recruiter and continue to apply to positions for which I am qualified. I have not received any contact for any of these positions yet so far.

Favorite thing: After a few travelling decades, I agree that no one in the world matches the Spanish professionalism organizing mass tourism.
It was no surprise, finding this new Jamaican resorts led by Spanish, copying exactly the same techniques used in Spain to please the guests. The concentration of Spanish and Portuguese guests made us feel sometimes like being in Torremolinos or Benidorm- Arts and Culture
- Beaches
Want a good time, then TIP PEOPLE
Favorite thing: Your on vacation. If you could afford to go then you can afford to tip. Everyone being cheap wasn't having as much fun as everyone being generous. If you tip you show respect and you get respect. You will be sure to be spoiled. During activity outings, TIP, you will have a better time then anyone else in your party. They will cater to you if you show them respect!
Fondest memory: Horseback riding on the beach, and going to the house Bob Marley's grew up in. Tour staff were awesome!!! -
We will definitely return!
Favorite thing: We probably enjoyed the relaxing, non-threatening environment the most. No high pressure activity leader trying to talk us into participating in anything we didn't want to was a positive. The waitresses and the dive shop staff were wonderful and attentive. The reservation office was extremely helpful in getting our return to paradise vouchers in order. The front desk and bellhops were efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend this resort and if possible would like to spend at least 4 days here every year.
Fondest memory: I miss the hammocks and the sound of the sea. North Carolina is nice and the breezes here are cool in the summer, but when it is time to relax, nothing beats Runaway Bay.- Spa and Resort

Recent Town Centre Reserve Reviews
Very nice, will try to book again in the future
The location was wonderful. It was just far enough away to avoid traffic congestion, but close enough to access the Disney parks easily. The accommodations were very nice as well. There was a good amount of room for my family. The rooms and linens were clean. The kitchen and laundry facilities were functional and very nice to have.
The WiFi did not work. The login information we were given did not work. This would have been nice, but it is not a deal breaker. The cleaning crew could do a slightly better job in the corners, but not bad overall.
It would be nice to have an extra roll of toiletries and an extra trash bag for those that decide to utilize the kitchen.
Thanks for letting us come and enjoy the facility!
A quiet retreat when not at the parks
The listing and photos are very accurate. The property is well maintained and the subdivision is very quiet. Kim was very helpful any time I had a question he was quick to reply. The home is close to grocery stores and theme parks. It has plenty of room for a large family and a pool and game room for the kids.
Our Holiday of our lifetime.....Thank you so much!
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home. It was the most perfect location for our Florida holiday, ideally located between the theme parks and amenities.
It is just lovely, although we spent most days in the parks we returned to cool down and relax either in the comfort of the home or the pool. A home from home.
Everything we could possibly need was provided and your management company was most helpful and professional when we required some information on the area.
A relaxing and fun time was had by all and we will be in touch for next year soon!
Thanks again.

"This is the definitive place for all serious students of public administration to start. It is the most comprehensive book in the field. It is required reading for MPA students, Ph.D. students, and all scholars in the field."
—Kenneth J. Meier, Charles H. Gregory Chair in Liberal Arts, Texas A&M University
"This is the bible for public management scholarship. It is the first place to turn when looking for an accessible but rigorous analysis of research on basic aspects of organizational life in the public sector, such as how culture, leadership, and motivation matter. The interdisciplinary array of research on public management has become so voluminous as to seem overwhelming at times. Rainey's extraordinary curatorial prowess allows him to turn these fragments of work into a coherent and insightful body of knowledge. Anyone interested in how research can inform governance should start with this book."
—Donald Moynihan, professor of public affairs, Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs, University of Wisconsin—Madison
"This is the Encyclopedia Britannica of public management; if you want to find out what has been written, and what is collectively said about the practice and theory of public management, look no further than Rainey's updated and comprehensive fifth edition."
—Richard M. Walker, chair professor of public management and associate dean, City University of Hong Kong
"For more than a decade, Rainey's book has been a must-read for everyone in the community of public management in Korea, just like in many places all over the world. Undoubtedly, it provides a valuable resource for researchers and students who are interested in public management and applications of organization theory to public organizations. It is quite simply the best investigation of public organization and management that I've read."
—Young Han Chun, associate dean, Graduate School of Public Administration, Seoul National University
What makes public organizations distinctive, impact of political power, values & motives, teamwork, etc.
When terrorists crashed jets into the twin towers of the World Trade Center
and forced the term 9/11 into the American vocabulary, the attack
ignited a drive in the United States and other nations to organize ourselves to repel
such atrocities in the future. Within a year, the president proposed and Congress
established the new Department of Homeland Security, which involved a vast reorganization
of the federal government to bring together twenty-two existing federal
agencies and 170,000 employees into this new agency.
The attack also drew attention to the people, the essential component of any
organization, who work in public service. Around the nation citizens donned baseball
caps and T-shirts bearing the initials of the New York City Fire Department
and the New York Police Department. Wearing these caps and shirts, people came
together in vigils and ceremonies to commemorate all of the people lost in the
attack, but also to pay tribute to the self-sacrificing heroism of the emergency personnel
who rushed into the burning buildings at the cost of their lives. Commentators
andjournalists around the world praised the leadership of the mayor
of New York during the crisis.
Intense public discourse swirled around questions about how these terrible
events could have been prevented. Journalists and public officials demanded to
know whether the terrorists' success exposed weaknesses in the way agencies such
as the CIA, the FBI, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service were
organized and managed. Congress launched a special investigation into these
apparent lapses. An FBI agent received national publicity and testified before Congress
after she alleged that a memorandum warning of suspicious activities had
not made its way up the hierarchy of the FBI and had not received serious attention
at higher levels. Thus, an organizational and managerial problem-inadequate
communication and handling of crucial information that needs to move
up and through organizational channels-allegedly contributed to the September
11 disaster.
In state and local governments in the United States, and in the governments
of other nations, similar inquiries sought to assess how effectively these governments
were organized to combat terrorism. One of the great organizational challenges
in responding to the threat of terrorism involved how to coordinate
disparate and far-ranging organizations.
As Congress, the president, the media, experts, and interest groups deliberated
over how to design the new Department of Homeland Security, they debated
many questions long familiar to public administration scholars and practitioners.
How much authority should the leaders of the new agency have? Should
the employees of this agency have employment rights and protections under the
civil service rules of the U.S. government? If so, would the agency's leaders be deprived
of the flexibility they would need to hire, remove, and transfer employees,
and hence impede the performance of the new agency? How should the new
agency be structured so as to bring together the necessary activities and coordinate
them while at the same time dividing up responsibilities in the appropriate
way? The debate over these questions illustrated the issues and values that infuse
the processes of organizing and managing in government. These issues include
how to ensure the effectiveness of the organization and its accountability within
the political system, and how to protect the public interest. These concerns about
power and authority and about democratic processes and values translated into
specific practical concerns in the organization and management of the new agency.
The president asked for flexibility in the hiring, assigning, and discharge of employees
of the Department of Homeland Security. This involved relaxing the rules
of the federal civil service system that govern such processes and provide civil service
employees with various protections. Public employee unions and some members
of Congress opposed the loss of these protections for employees of the new
agency. The president and others argued that flexibilities would help the leaders
and managers of the new agency rapidly place the best people in jobs, motivate
them, move them around, and remove them if necessary. The opponents of these
flexibilities pointed to the threat of abuses by superiors in the agency and to the
need to protect the rights of the employees.
In sum, the response to one of the greatest crises in American history focused
on the organization and management of government activities and the people
in them (Wise and Nader, 2002). The response thus illustrated a central theme
of this book: government organizations and the people in them perform crucial
functions, and their effective organization and management are essential to the
well-being of the nations and communities they serve. While the September 11
attacks underscore this point in a dramatic and terrible way, the topic has a long
history. Governments in the United States and in other nations, and the organizations
within those governments, have followed a continuing pattern of organizing,
reorganizing, reforming, and striving to improve performance (Kettl, 2002;
Light, 1997; Pollitt and Bouckaert, 2000). In the process, they have operated within
a context of constitutional provisions, laws, and political authorities and processes
that have heavily influenced their organization and management.
Toward Improved Understanding
and Management of Public Organizations
All nations face decisions about the roles of the government and private institutions
in their society. September 11 slowed some parts of an antigovernment trend
around the world during the last several decades that has influenced decisions about
the role of public organizations. This trend has spawned a movement in many
countries to curtail government authority and replace it with greater private activity.
This skepticism about government implies that there are sharp differences
between government and privately managed organizations. During this same period,
however, numerous writers have argued that there has been too little sound
analysis of such differences. They have contended that the elaborate body of knowledge
we have on management and organizations has paid too little attention to the
public sector. At the same time, they have said, the large body of scholarship in political
science and economics that focuses on government bureaucracy has had too
little to say about managing that bureaucracy. This critique has elicited a wave of
research and writing on public management and public organization theory by experts
and researchers who have been working to provide more careful analyses of
organizational and managerial issues in government.
This chapter elaborates on these points to develop another central theme of
this book: we face a dilemma in combining our legitimate skepticism about public
organizations with the recognition that they play indispensable roles in society.
We need to maintain and improve their effectiveness. We can profit by studying
major topics from general management and organization theory and by examining
the rapidly increasing evidence of their successful application in the public
sector. The evidence indicates that the governmental context strongly influences
organization and management, often sharply constraining performance. Just as
often, however, governmental organizations and managers perform much better
than is commonly acknowledged. Examples of effective public management
abound. These examples usually reflect the efforts of managers in government
who combine managerial skill with effective knowledge of the public sector context.
Experts continue to research and debate the nature of this combination, however,
as more evidence appears rapidly and in diverse places. This book seeks to
base its analysis of management in public organizations on the most careful and
current review of this evidence to date.
Ambivalence Toward Government
The proposal to bestow vast authority and responsibility on the massive new
Department of Homeland Security is strikingly ironic given the prevailing opinion
about public organizations and their actions during the last several decades.
Nations around the world have pursued privatization policies by selling state-owned
enterprises to private operators. In the United States, contracting out of
government services to the private sector has increased sharply at all levels of government
(Savas, 2000). Antigovernment sentiment has swept the United States.
Opinion surveys have revealed seething resentment of taxes and the widespread
conviction that government operates in wasteful and ineffective ways. Angry criticisms
have focused on the government with such intensity that the term bureaucrat
bashing has come into use. Both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan attacked
the federal bureaucracy in their election campaigns. President Carter pressed
for deregulation of industry, reduction of federal red tape, and major civil service
reforms to combat alleged sloth and inefficiency among federal employees. President
Reagan more aggressively impugned government and sought reductions
in funding and authority for many federal programs and agencies. When Bill Clinton
won the presidency from George Bush, the change suggested some weakening
of the antigovernment trend, because Clinton was the more liberal and
progovernment of the two candidates. Nevertheless, President Clinton initiated
the National Performance Review (NPR), a major review of the operations of the
federal government, claiming that the federal government worked poorly and
needed a drastic overhaul. In addition to eliciting many presidential directives and
congressional actions aimed at achieving such reforms (described in Chapter Fourteen),
the NPR cut employment in the federal workforce by about 11 percent, or
over 324,000 employees. George W. Bush has led the drive to strengthen the
role of government in homeland security and antiterrorism, but at the same time
has pushed for privatization of social security. He issued the President's Management
Agenda, which announced as one of his major priorities increased "competitive
sourcing," in which federal agencies would open their functions to competition
from private sector providers.
These presidential policies, mirrored by similar ones at other levels of government
in the United States and in many other nations, reflect the assumption
that government activities differ from those of the private sector and that government
performs less effectively and efficiently than private sector organizations.
In the United States, these beliefs have served as fundamental principles of the
political economy. Many political ideologues and economic theorists have treated
them as truisms, and surveys have found that the majority of citizens accept them.
Americans regard government with more ambivalence than hostility, however.
Government in the United States, at all levels, stands as one of the great
achievements of the nation and as one of the most significant institutions in human
history. No major nation operates without a large, influential public sector. Government
in the United States accounts for a smaller proportion of the gross national
product than do governments in most of the other major nations of the
world, including economically successful ones. Taxes in the United States are low
by international standards; as a percentage of the gross domestic product, the taxes
levied by governments in the United States are among the lowest of the major industrialized
nations. The contention that government in the United States is a
massively ineffective, expensive, wasteful, overweening institution is not supported
by international comparisons. Americans show an implicit recognition of this fact.
Some of the same surveys that find waning faith in government also find fundamental
support for a strong governmental role (Lipset and Schneider, 1987; Katz,
Gutek, Kahn, and Barton, 1975). Even as the antigovernment trend just described
has played out, demands for a strong and active government have continued and,
as illustrated repeatedly in the chapters to follow, government organizations and
employees have often responded by performing very well.
Hirschman (1982) has argued that sentiments for and against government activity
wax and wane cyclically in the United States and other countries. It remains
to be seen whether September 11 will lead to a fundamental shift in the way Americans
regard their government. Certainly they will continue to play out the time-honored
paradox of conferring massive funding and responsibility on government
agencies and officials even as they castigate and ridicule them (Whorton and
Worthley, 1981; Sharkansky, 1989). Thus, the United States will continue to struggle
with a complex version of the dilemma faced by all nations. We know that
both government and private activities have strengths and weaknesses and that both
are crucial. The challenge lies in designing the proper mix and balance of the two
and in doing what we can to attain effective management of both (Lindblom, 1977).
General Management and Public Management
This book proceeds on the argument that a review and explanation of the literature
on organizations and their management, integrated with a review of the research
on public organizations, supports understanding and improved management of public
organizations. As this approach implies, these two bodies of research and thought
are related but separate, and their integration poses a major challenge for those interested
in public management. The character of these fields and of their separation
needs clarification. We can begin that process by noting that scholars in
sociology, psychology, and business administration have developed an elaborate body
of knowledge in the fields of organizational behavior and organization theory.
Organizational Behavior, Organization Theory, and Management
The study of organizational behavior had its primary origins in industrial and social
psychology. Researchers of organizational behavior typically concentrate on
individual and group behaviors in organizations, analyzing motivation, work
satisfaction, leadership, work-group dynamics, and the attitudes and behaviors
of the members of organizations. Organization theory, conversely, is based more
in sociology. It focuses on topics that concern the organization as a whole, such as
organizational environments, goals and effectiveness, strategy and decision making,
change and innovation, and structure and design. Some writers treat organizational
behavior as a subfield of organization theory.

Tulsa Club Fire
By KWGS News
Tulsa, OK – A fire that raged in the Tulsa Club Building downtown early today was brought under control in little more than an hour. The building is on the corner of 5th and Cincinnati.
The blaze was reported around 2:30 this morning and fire officials declared in a three alarm fire at 2:50. Flames were visible from the windows of the ballroom on the top floor of the long vacant building. There have been several smaller fires at the building in the past.
Two fire fighters were taken to the hospital. Both are in fair condition.

Resounding win for Tom McClintock
Re "McClintock to face fellow Republican in November" (Capitol & California, June 6): The June 3 primary produced a resounding victory for Congressman Tom McClintock in the 4th Congressional District. McClintock received 55.9 percent of the vote- 10 percent above Republican registration in the district, showing strong support from independent voters. McClintock's vote percentage was even higher than Gov. Jerry Brown's, who is viewed by many as a shoo-in for re-election.
Art Moore, who finished 33 percent behind McClintock for second place, just barely got past independent Jeffrey Gerlach, who vowed to spend less than $5,000 on his campaign.
McClintock's runaway victory ,as well as his endorsements from the California Republican Party, all 10 county Republican central committees in his district, conservative groups, the business community, and overwhelming support from local officials, shows he is the right choice for Congress.

Of Benicio Del Toro's roster of roles, Jackie Boy from 2005's "Sin City" would have to be one of the most memorable.
You'd assume then, what with the sequel about to get underway and a release date locked in for less than twelve months away, that a Jackie Boy reprise might be on the cards?
Speaking with Del Toro, he's just as curious to know the answer to that question.
The corrupt Basin City detective is a huge part of the "Sin City" literary universe, not only appearing in the other stories but also reportedly the focus of an upcoming 'Jack Rafferty' spin-off book. But more so, Del Toro's performance of the "once good cop" has made the character even more of a favourite with fans.
Yet, despite most of the "Sin City" cast – including Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Michael Madsen and Rosario Dawson – having been contacted by Rodriguez about reprising their roles in the upcoming sequel "Sin City : A Dame to Kill For", Del Toro says he's yet to get the call.
"It's up to Robert Rodriguez", says Del Toro, on whether he reprises Jackie Boy for "A Dame to Kill For". "I don't know anything about it, besides that I hear they're doing it. So I don't know? I really love working with Robert though."
With production set to get underway shortly, and an October 2013 release slotted in, hopefully Rodriguez can pick up the phone soon and make that deal happen.
Meanwhile Del Toro suggests his next film, "Jimmy Picard" has just undergone a name change to the more intriguing-sounding "AKA Jimmy Picard".
"It's based on a true story about psychoanalysis", the actor says of the flick. "It's directed by Arnaud Desplechin, whose a French filmmaker. We shot it in Detroit and Montana. I haven't seen it, hopefully it's good."
An action-comedy that Del Toro is attached to star in with Cameron Diaz (with Shane Black producing), previously titled "An Ex to Grind", has also undergone a name change : "Agent : Century 21″ is it's new release title.

Potato Salad
- Servings: 12
Source: Martha Stewart Living Television
- 5 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes
- 1 medium white onion, finely grated
- 2/3 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup Hellmanns Mayonnaise
- Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
- Hard-boiled eggs sliced, for garnish (optional)
Place potatoes in a large pot, and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until soft when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain, and allow to cool slightly. Peel potatoes, and slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Combine potatoes, onion, water, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Toss gently between two large bowls, trying not to break up potato slices. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add mayonnaise; mix gently between two large bowls until well combined and creamy. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours; the mixture will thicken as it stands. Garnish with parsley and/or sliced hard-boiled eggs, if desired.

I love, love, love this recipe. Have made it so many times and everyone enjoys it. It's just like the German deli's recipe I remember growing up in Brooklyn. Brings back great memories. Thank you Martha.
MarilynGG 3 Jul, 2013
I've been making this potato salad for years. It was originally called Kasi Krukar Potato Salad. I spent my early years on Long Island and this recipe is as close as I've come to NY Deli potato salad. Awesome!
cinnamonbear 8 Aug, 2010
This potato salad is very good and creamy. Yum! Don't vary from the recipe. They must be the red potatoes.

is this a soft diet for elderly?

The system is working fine (execpt wireless problem) so i cant see it being a harddrive problem.
Thanks in Advance

Stopping group policy processing until logon script has run
Is there a way to stop Windows XP Client from processing group policies until after the user's logon script has completed? This is required as there is an exe that runs in our logon script that lets the user choose some options when they log in, but as the group policy has already processed in the background, this exe has no effect until a policy refresh is performed.

Selena Gomez Filming Spring Breakers in a Neon Bikini
Selena Gomez Puts on Her Neon Bikini and Gets Back to Work
Selena Gomez was in a bikini on the St. Petersburg, FL set of Spring Breakers yesterday. Selena was joined by Vanessa Hudgens, in a blond wig, and Ashley Benson. Ashley took a break from shooting over the weekend and headed to Miami where she met up with her Pretty Little Liars costar Lucy Hale. Lucy got in on the bikini action too, modeling a pink Bongo two-piece during a PLL photo shoot. Vanessa headed north on Saturday and was spotted in NYC with boyfriend Austin Butler. Austin's in the Big Apple working on The Carrie Diaries with AnnaSophia Robb.
Selena's significant other Justin Bieber has been busy as well. Justin released his latest single, "Boyfriend," on Monday and has been making the promotional rounds to talk about the new track. During a recent interview Justin revealed why Selena dates him saying, "I'm loving and patient and kind and gentle."

It's John Key. Unless that was some sort of joke, in which case I'm out of the loop.
GOOD sense has prevented a new employee-relations law from causing havoc for Air New Zealand. Changes to New Zealand's Employment Relations Act, which come into effect tomorrow, require employers to give employees two paid rest breaks and an unpaid 30-minute lunch break if they work an eight-hour day.
Air New Zealand said the new law would put an end to air-traffic controllers' flexible working patterns. This in turn would have forced it to close control towers at five regional airports for 30-45 minutes a day, leading to the cancellation of 25 flights and the loss of jobs.
That threat to jobs, combined with an apparent threat from John Key, the prime minister, to change the law, appears to have softened the stance of the air-traffic controllers' union. Some of them will now work a flexible rota in order to keep towers open, although the National Business Review suspects that Air New Zealand will have to pay them more—a cost that will be passed on to passengers.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In Access 2010 it is now possible to customize your Ribbons, whether it's changing the default Ribbons to your liking or creating brand-new Ribbons for your own frequent commands. First, let's take a look at the terminology that's used. These Ribbons are called the main Ribbons and then when I go into work with different objects, these Ribbons are called the tools. So let's go ahead and make our own Ribbon. I am going to go into backstage view using the File tab and we're going to come down here to Options. About halfway down, you'll find Customize Ribbon and it's broken into two sections.
These are the potential commands for your Ribbon. Over here you'll find the Ribbons themselves. This drop-down menu shows whether you're working with the main tabs or whether you're going to work with the tools tabs. So we're going to come down here to the bottom and make our own new tab. The first thing I am going to do is rename my tab. So, I'll click on the New Tab itself, click on the Rename button and I'll call this Alicia's Commands. I'll click OK, and while I am at it, let's go ahead and rename my first group as well.
Now, whichever one I click on is the one where the commands will go on to, so I do need to add them to this group. It defaults to the Popular Commands, the most common things that you might do. Maybe it's opening up a file or maybe it's saving a table or the report that you're working on. I can also drop this down and get commands specifically from the main tabs. For instance, maybe I create a lot of queries. So I'll come down here and I'll grab both my Query Wizard and my Query Designer.
I can come down and go to the tool tabs as well. For instance, I like to do a lot of conditional formatting. So I'll go to the Form Layout Tools and to Format and then Control Formatting and I'll bring over Conditional Formatting, and then I am also fond of the themes. So I'll come over to Design and Themes and bring over my Themes. Let's take a look and see how this new Ribbon looks. I'll click OK and you'll see right up here, Alicia's Commands, and when I click on it, here are all of my favorite commands.
By customizing your own Ribbons, you can speed up your productivity and improve your workflow.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.
Make the video wide, narrow, full-screen, or pop the player out of the page into its own window.
Click on text in the transcript to jump to that spot in the video. As the video plays, the relevant spot in the transcript will be highlighted.
