Watch and learn how to increase revenue and improve customer value. PTC's approach to solution planning, implementation and adoption minimizes risk, accelerates time to value, and ensures maximum return on investment.
When product sales are uncertain and operational consistency is unattainable, more and more, service executives are driven to increase their service profits.
How do they accomplish this? Improvement in warranties and contracts.
What we know:
Manufacturers worldwide spend up to 7% of product revenue on warranty claims each year
In the United States alone, this adds up to approximately $23 billion in warranty claims
Worldwide this totals more than $50 billion
Have you considered the plus side to warranty and contract management? On average, service contracts and warranties contribute 53% of total service revenue; and there's room to grow…
So what's holding everyone back?
Functional silos, lost cross-enterprise knowledge, a lack of visibility for improvement
Inefficient parts returns, manual claims processes, poor data quality, low supplier recovery
Warranty processes that don't consider product issues
An inability to identify and resolve product and service issues
All resulting in:
High warranty costs
Missed revenue opportunities
Low dealer and customer value
Unreliable product and service quality
And because a large impact on warranty cost is the product's performance, the opportunity to improve warranty means being sure the product performs as intended – or better.
How can manufacturers achieve this? By putting product information at the center of the warranty lifecycle
A product's performance is tracked by understanding its service events.
This data writes a product's history
PTC Warranty and Contract Management solution captures it all
Warranty registration
Claims Processing
Parts Returns
Supplier recovery
Extended warranty
Service contracts
Having this complete record creates an as-maintained bill of materials (BOM).
Everyone can leverage the same knowledge to improve product performance and the customer experience.
PTC Warranty and Contract Management solution offers industry-leading analytics to proactively detect issues, anticipate service needs and identify fraudulent claims, directly helping manufacturers to limit overall warranty exposure.
The Benefits: Best-in-class manufacturers who have implemented a strategic approach to warranty and contract management…
Retain customers at a rate of 89% – compared to 51% for those with no warranty and contract management solution
Renew 90% of current service contracts – versus only 40% for those with no warranty and contract management solution
Improve customer value. Improve profits. Increase revenue.
When your product performs beyond expectations risks are diminished, warranty claims are lowered, and service costs are minimized - all contributing to an improved overall service experience for you and your customers.
Increase customer value with PTC award-winning Warranty and Contract Management Solution ptc.com/go/warranty
Today's manual, disconnected warranty processes cause slow customer resolution times, lack of visibility into a product's performance, and ultimately make warranty and service contracts unpredictable and unprofitable. PTC's approach defines and manages warranty processes in a product context, allowing you to capture and analyze product and warranty data across the install base. This complete performance and service history enables continuous improvements for service planning, engineering and quality.

I live in the Netherlands and the outcome yesterday, the choice of the people is for me a big releave. They got their common sense back! My dream is that it will not necessary to shame about being Dutch! We can look forwards now and fight the crisis on any level in the world. I wish you all the best. Thank you for giving me the possibility to wright my thoughts here. There is hope now for my family. Cristine
The poor Dutch.
The UK is set for a referendum!
Plans for EU referendum drawn up for Britain:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/9539494/Plans-for-EU-referendum-drawn-up-for-Britain.html
Have fun paying off the Southern Debt!
Well the results have ended up quite differently than the economist predicted, it seems the center might have returned after all.
"The StemWijzer is all very well, she says, but politicians 'don't do what the people vote for.'"
This is by far the most frustrating thing as a voter in any country.
"Germany foresees give-and-take in which core countries pay to save the periphery in exchange for a more federal Europe. To the Dutch, that looks like take-and-take."
To me, being a German taxpayer, that looks more like give, give and more give.
And if you believe this interpretation of the crisis, "I have a bridge to sell you" as the Americans say.
Please leave the EZ now. France and Italy would be better off without Germany. So would the rest of the EZ.
Judging by the position and rotation of the windmill I would say the chap's having a hard time handling his bike, especially since he has a disc wheel up front.
(one usually puts a disc wheel at the back. Also, it's best if you can avoid using a disc wheel in strong crosswinds)
I tried the stemwijzer. I believe in human rights, but there was not one question about abortion or euthanasia in the 30. I found myself directed to a party which is strongly pro-Zionist, although I believe in property rights. The stemwijzer is of use to those who ignore the important issues and concentrate on those that interest them, perhaps, but in fact I did not find most of the questions interesting either.
Abortion and Euthanasia are not major issues in the Netherlands which is probably why there were not any questions on them. Plenty of important issues are addressed though :
- Should the 2013 budget stick to the 3% deficit limit ?
- Should there be a European banking regulator ?
- Should there be mimumum sentences for certain crimes ?
- Whether the pension age should be increased.
- Should an opt-out system for organ donation be implemented?
- Should we strive for a European government?
Abortion and euthanasia important issues? Right...
If you believe in human rights there can hardly be anything more important. Is not the purpose of government precisely to secure such God-given rights as those to life, bodily integrity, liberty and property? Have you a different value system? And does Netherland not have very high rates of abortion and euthanasia?
Religion is not a major issue for the majority of the Dutch population. Obviously, it is for you. If you believe in liberty, then shouldn't liberty also include the possibility to choose your own time to die when you are extremely ill, for example? For you, apparently not.
We had the whole discussion about abortion and euthanasia YEARS ago in the Netherlands. That is why it is not a major issue in the Netherlands right now. The only political parties really objecting still are the right-wing Christians of the SGP (let me guess, that was your outcome of the Stemwijzer, right?).
Contrary to popular belief outside the Netherlands, it is really not that easy to perform abortion or euthanasia. Policies regarding these subjects are quite strict and well-monitored.
Finally, abortion levels in NL are among the lowest in the world (thanks to contraception, but I guess that's also a no-no in your book): http://southholland.angloinfo.com/information/healthcare/pregnancy-birth...
Netherlands has very low abortion rates, much lower rates than America..
You know why? Because there is better access and information on contraception instead of just abstinence.
We also do NOT have "very high rates" of euthanasia, but it is hard to compare since it's not legal in many places.
The availability of these options does not make them more likely. Just more likely to happen safely...
And since more than 50% of the country does not ahere to a religion I do think I can say that we don't care about securing "god-given rights". We decide our rights, not god.
The Netherlands votes. "I ride my bicycle". The Netherlands is in many ways a strange place, being here for a few years I have found the people cordial, correct and nice, however; A few years ago I decide the make a protect about the Dutch government financing the Higgs project in CERN which I thought would course earthquakes and volcano eruption because of the synthetic strong gravitation field. So I phoned the ministry of internal affairs in The Hague to ask permission, I was asked how many people will protest, I said just me. I was told by Dutch law as an individual I do not need permission. OK so I did protest sitting in the middle of the road only to be arrested and lock up in mental home. This example of complacency of the Dutch may be changing with healthcare, the price of living and housing increasing, people start quoting "God created the havens but the Dutch created Holland" and could help Mr. Wilders and his Party for Freedom (PVV). In a few days we will see.
"OK so I did protest sitting in the middle of the road only to be arrested and lock up in mental home"
While seeking the permission to protest, did you inform the authorities that you'd be protesting by 'sitting in the middle of the road'?
Curious, that's all...
It doesn't surprise me that sitting in the middle of the road, by yourself, got you arrested and mentally investigated.
Although The Netherlands may be "a tax heaven" for corporations, it has the highest income and personal tax in Europe. And that has been increased even under liberal Mr. Rutte. 52% PLUS social welfare at around 10,000 EUR and 21% VAT. Thank you.
"Eerlijk delen" is the Pvda's party slogan. It is common knowledge that it pays far better not to work in The Netherlands, which becomes obvious from the 950 000 "long-term disabled". Never saw so many people become permanently sick, as in 2005 it was under 500 000 people. Especially the Wajong is really popular.
Blaming Europe is an easy scapegoat. Dutch politicians simply like to avoid openly discussing their gross mismanagement of an all-time record of 300 billion tax income.
I noticed the enormous numbers of so-called disabled when I worked in Hoofddorp in 1996 - 1998... factor them back into the workforce (i.e., as unemployed) and it's a much less healthy economy than is popularly imagined.
Given they are living in the Low Countries, you'd think the Dutch parties would all be in favour of strong action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. After all, the likely exponential sea level rise of around 1 meter by 2100 and in the order of several meters after that will cost the Dutch dearly. If we fast forward to twice as much time since the Golden Age, most of those proud cities 17th Century city centers could well be under meters of water.
But you'd think wrong - see klimaatkeuze.nl. The focus is all on short-term and relatively mild economic woes. Understandable, but somewhat disappointing.
Indeed. The Netherlands have been underperforming the rest of Europe environmentally for over a decade (and have since the 1970s been among the worst European transgressors):
Not on an American scale, but pretty bad.
The Netherlands is one of the best placed countries to deal with the impact of sea level rise because they have been doing so for centuries. They are already planning how to deal with the estimated 1 metre rise by 2100.
You are correct that the economic crisis has relegated long-term issues such as global warming to a non-issue in the election.
"They are already planning how to deal with the estimated 1 metre rise by 2100."
Mask, snorkel, exposure wetsuit, bouyancy compensator, air tank, fins. Could add a little smoke for an intersting oxygen-enriched air mix and somewhat abnormal underwater sightseeing...
More dikes than San Francisco
Have you ever heard of dikes ? Much of the country is under sea level already.
Do you actually know anything at all about the Netherlands or are you just being sarcastic ?
"Do you actually know anything at all about the Netherlands or are you just being sarcastic ?"
Can I answer "both"?
And sorry, what have dikes to do with it?
If you have to ask what dikes have to do with rising sea levels then you obviously don't know anything about the Netherlands.
What do you think would be technically more difficult; raising the level of existing dikes by 1 metre or creating a whole new network of dikes from scratch ?
ooops, I'm sorry, I was actually thinking of my old geology classes and magma, and I wasn't under the impression that Netherlands sit over a major vulcanic area.
My bad.
1.People's discontent with politics has its roots in the very existence of the coalition system. CDA looses popularity for years, yet it governs against (obviously) voters' will. PvDA had at the end of the previous elections won, its number of seats being almost (1 seat difference) at the same amount of votes as VVD. Yet PvDA was forced into opposition. Wilders won last elections and he was not included in the government either. Without expressing a political option, I am just saying that this system explains why most people (be they left or right voters) do not feel their vote counts.
2.Dutch are not "instinctevely pro-European". We used to be economically quite literate. Populistic statements according to which "jobs are in danger if Euro falls apart" and alike are felt like disingenous by most people.
ECB and Europe are acting like dictatorships and the Dutch voters do not accept (Yet) that voting for national politics isn't representing voters' will anymore. National politics is about petty stuff, while the important decisions about how our tax money are spent, are being taken outside the power of the elected national politicians.
National political parties can have their say about speed limits. In the meantime, billions are being gifted to greece, italy and spain and nobody can do anything about it. Just work harder and see spaniards on free medical care (paid with german and dutch money) and italians going on pension at their 60's, while the Dutch need to work till their 70's (in the Liberal's view).
One needs to be an idiot not to see how the money transfer to the South affects everyday life of the Dutch.
I very much doubt the veracity of your information. The Italian pension age is currently around 66 years old.
But, if it's true that the Dutch have to wait till their 70's to collect a pension, that is your politicians' fault, not ours. Italy is not costing the Netherlands one cent. And you are morons if you think
a) people should wait until 70/72 to be able to collect a pension, or
b) we in Italy are going to follow you in this policy.
What company is willing to hire an unemployed 62-year-old?
What company wants any significant number of 62-year-olds hanging around the offices or shop floors?
We are going from the sublime to the ridiculous. Before in Italy it was possible to go into retirement in your early 50's - now not before the late 60's. Asinine.
The Euro Crisis Explained To Grannies: For a very simple (and funny) explanation for the euro crisis, just write on your search engine: wordpress blog The euro crisis explained to grannies
The real trouble in the Netherlands is that consumption rates drop and that half of all European pension funds are Dutch. The Dutch are so rich that the market for flatscreens and mobile phones is coming to a halt. There is a limit to how many of those things one can bear. Meanwhile in 2011 the number of millionaires has reached over 150.000 (on a population of 16.5 million), and increase of 10% in the past year. This illustrates that the gap between the rich and the poor is widening rapidly. The home mortgage interest deduction, one of te key issues, only benefits the rich. The top 10% receives more tax benefits than all who receive social welfare. Consequently, small businesses suffer when people cut on spending on food and other primary needs. The rich can afford to buy another Mercedes Benz, but if many people spend less on bread, the economy will truly suffer.
One should also not forget that the Netherlands is one of the prime tax havens in the world.
Wilders role in the current elections is minor. He has avoided public debate for 7 years. Now his populist mantra against Islam, immigration, foreigners, liberalism and Europe sounds incredibly boring and worn out. In discussion with opponents he doesn't stand a chance. He will still receive 10-15% of the vote, but these are voters that prior Fortuyn never voted. That part of the electorate only favors politicians who help them to boost their hate, antisocial behavior and egoism. When people discover that these politicians don't achieve anything, as Wilders, they will stop casting their vote.
"One should also not forget that the Netherlands is one of the prime tax havens in the world."
Such views can only be attributed to Socialist totalitarian propaganda. No such things as tax havens, you either have a competitive tax rate or you don't. Typical of a socialist to blame others for its failings.
Really? I recommend you to read the following article from early 2007 in the NY Times: "The Netherlands, the New Tax Shelter Hot Spot" http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/04/business/yourmoney/04amster.html?pagew...
Unless of course you don't want to read such 'socialist' propaganda.
Very interesting reading, indeed. So much for the 'dirty tricks' attributed to South Europeans: they are amateurs when it comes to legislation facilitating tax evasion ...
Interesting news recently was that the Socialist Party (SP) wants to get rid of the tax haven status of The Netherlands. (http://www.nu.nl/nieuws/2892095/sp-schaft-belastingparadijs-nederland-af...)
One of the considerations of the SP is that the current policy worsens the crisis for southern European countries, as wealthy citizens evade tax via NL. Not so anti-EU after all, the SP.
ah, "wltrrr" spouting his usual left-wing populist crap(look him up on Twitter to see what I mean). Need I remind you that the top 10% of tax payers also contribute the majority of all income taxes!?
Also, it is not true that the mortgage interest deduction only benefits the "rich"(for most socialists, any household making over 60k gross per yearis considered "rich", which is absolute bollocks if you ask me). The 4 million people in the Netherlands making over 60k per year contribute 90% of all tax income. It is only fair that they receive some form of compensation for the extortionate income tax levels that they have to pay (3rd highest in the world after Sweden and Denmark). The mortgage interest deduction is precisely that form of compensation.
and if you still don't get why Wilders is so popular, walk around for a day in a "black" neighbourhood in The Hague, or go the cinema when Ramadam ends. Antisocial behaviour and hatred towards women, homosexuals and Christian is the norm amongst youth from a Muslim background in our major cities. Why do you think there is so much support for Wilders amongst highschool kids? They enjoy the "blessings" of our multicultural society each day at school and when they go out, getting beaten up because they have the nerve to say something back when one of our Moroccan yells abuse at them. But I bet this reality is not part of wltrrr's reality...
You should also show some more respect to the people that actually work their asses of day in day out to keep shoring up our overweight welfare state (and Southern Europe's welfare states), with way too many non-working people being supported by way too few working people.
"Such views can only be attributed to Socialist totalitarian propaganda. No such things as tax havens, you either have a competitive tax rate or you don't. Typical of a socialist to blame others for its failings."
To me tax heavens are quite "socialist" (in your terms).
A sentence people like you do love :
"Socialism works until you run out of other people money".
Change socialism with "Tax havens" and you'll see what I mean.
If you haven't got what it takes to compete, then of course you'll find any excuse you can.
For sure "socialist totalitarian propaganda" is quite an argument.
A company grow in a country thanks to all the social-economic situation. Why none worldwide company is from Africa ? Because when your roads, people education, justice, police, laws are bad a campany can't survive. More over a company grow thanks to his employees, customers.. Which are all national first. You can't survive international competition if your home market is not strong.
So when country say.. Hey ! Let's attract foreign headquarters with very low taxes. Because 1$ and a couple of jobs is still better than nothing. To me, it's shameless. The company have no real activity here, they don't earn 1$ in this country, but they'll pay their taxes here.
Meanwhile the home country is still reparing roads used by this company's car, its customers, and its emloyees.
Low taxes are fair competition when its about promoting its own businesses.
Tax Havens, like Holland, are not the only one to blame. Of course, sometimes homes countries increase their tax rates too much and to survive the company have to leave.. But it's really rare. Sometimes they even lose profits by leaving if media choose to talk about it.
Companies are to blame too. It's exactly the same as greeks espacing their fiscal duties because they do want more revenue..
But a company can move its headquarters in holland without any difference thanks to the european only market.
The Dutch should do the Germans (and EU and the world) a favour and leave. Then as other strong countries start leaving, Germany will have no choice but to accept Greece and some other countries have to exit. Then the process of healing can start.
You think that errecting financial and trade barriers in the midst of a recession will make things any easier?
Promise: nationalism & protectionism don't pay. To humour such notions is dangerous - all the more so during a recession.
The proper response is to pursue further market integration - grow the realm in which businesses must compete with one another, and new investment will be unleashed with which productivity and incomes will rise over time.
The Dutch make their living by trading and providing experts for hundreds of Dutch registered multi-national corporations. Leaving the Euro would destroy hundreds of thousands of jobs.
I disagree with the view of Mr. Krouwel, though I highly respect his academic pretences. Geer Wilders has not 'wrapped-up' Dutch politics. The issues dominating the agenda these elections (most notably the European crisis, the unfavourable economic conditions, pensions, exponential health care costs) certainly aren't to attributed to his agendasetting skills. The tricks he used to previous elections to make immigration and Islam (issues on which his extremeist vision is unfortunatly very popular) did not work. The decline of the center could be attributed in a larger extent to the impoverishment of Dutch politics. Debates are nowadays centred on minor derivatives of problems (eg, in the last big debate the party leaders were concerned only with job creation on the economic topic, neglecting more important concerns over this like the regulation pressure feld by businesses and the high tax rates) and no longer about the core of problems.
Moreover one should not forget that the much more intellectual Pim Fortuyn had already started the politization. Let's not give Wilders too much credits for this.

Turn your bathroom into a spa-like retreat with simple, chic accessories.
By Jennifer and Kitty O'NeillMore in Bathroom
Peaceful Place

We traveled when DD was 15m. She slept in bed between us. At that point in time she was still in her crib. Personally I felt like bringing our PnP was just more crap to lug around. She always sleeps with us when she is sick anyway so it wasn't a big deal to her.

"I told you. It gets cold here and dicks need jackets."- Nik
My daughter was put into a toddler bed at 16 months because she was day time potty trained and I wanted to get started on night time, I asked her shortly after she was day trained if she wanted a big girl bed and she said "no", I I waited a month and asked her again and that time she said "yes". She never attempted to climb out of the crib.
Last winter, (DD was 13 months old) our furnace went out and it was too cold to stay in our home, so we spent the night at my parent's home, DD climbed out of the play pen at the end of the bed and climbed into bed with us. She slept fine with us the next night and that was the first time she had ever slept in the same room as us and in the same bed.

We have traveled on a lot of short trips with our daughter, and the PNP is a great thing, even now. She has never slept in our bed, she thinks it's play time when she's in our bed. She's in a toddler bed at home, PNP at other homes. The first time we traveled and were all in the same room, she would stand up in her PNP, peak over the side to see what we were doing. Just be consistent about telling her it's time to sleep and lay back down, and it works just fine. Definitely ask if the boat has one for you to use, but you may want a heavy duty blanket to put on the bottom if it's on the hard side.

Pheasant Buffet
He's not under-glass or even edible, but here is my buffet decorated with one of the pheasants that I borrowed from a friend. I got the gourd basket this year at a TS and the wire hurricane and glass grape garland at GSs.
That gourd basket is wonderful, frou! I am loving it on your buffet along with the wire hurricane! Very "Fall-ish" colors in that beautiful fabric that you layered beneath everything. Ah, well, the pheasant certainly looks like the "live" ones that visit our acreage...they are a beautiful, beautiful bird. TFS! Jeanne S.
Fabulous display. How sweet of your friend to loan you the pheasant. It really does make the arrangement.
You have perfectly captured the essence of fall.
If you get tired of that gourd basket, I could probably make room for it at my house, LOL
What great finds on the wire hurricane, gourd basket, and glass garland. It all looks terrific in your arrangement.
The pheasant is so handsome, I am trying to pretend he is a faux one tho, I'm too soft-hearted in regards to hunting.
It was nice of your friend to let you use him. The true beauty of this pheasant will be admired here.
hugs, Karen
What a wonderful pheasant and environment you've built around him. I especially love the grass in your basket. I also like the pumpkins and especially the buffet that I can get a peek of. It's just the best setting for your arrangement.
- Magpie
Very nice fall arrangement Frou. I'm loving that gourd basket with all the pretty leaves in it, and your wire one was a great find too. I'm with Karen--pretending that pretty pheasant is ceramic and not stuffed! LOL
Thanks everyone for being so sweet, in particular about the real pheasant. OA, we purchased the buffet about 20 years ago at an auction. It was solid black with newspapers glued to the top and had a piece of one of the doors missing. But. it was only $25.00, so DH worked a little magic and wa-la. The bottom holds a TV for the sunroom and the drawers, stacks of tablecloths and napkins.
Frou, first of all I want to say how much I love your buffet. Please tell your DH, we think he did an amazing job a refinishing it! I really like your beautiful Autumn display on it and am lusting after your wire basket. Love the grape garland on the buffet lamps, too!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Railways making hay while grain sits in bins
Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz has been doing his best to put a brave face on what appears to be a looming wreck when it comes to getting this year's bumper crop of grain to customers.
Industry officials say grain elevators are filled to capacity across the West, while export terminals sit empty and ships are lining up at Vancouver waiting to be loaded.
While rail movement of 5,000 to 5,500 cars per week to export ports is high by recent standards, grain companies are reporting a backlog of 18,000 cars ordered but not delivered, and that backlog is rising by between 1,000 and 2,000 cars per week.
To industry observers, the situation smacks of a smug realization by the railways whether they move the grain now or next year, they'll still get the business. And there's not much shippers can do about it.
It's a problem as old as commercial farming on the prairies.
From the time settlers started producing more grain than they needed, farmers here have been held captive by geography and the lack of competitive alternatives to the railways.
The late Willard Estey, a retired Supreme Court judge hired by the federal government in 1998 to report on the grain transportation issue, summed up the Prairie farmer's dilemma as unique among major grain exporters.
"Canada alone must face the grim reality that remaining competitive in the world grain market depends almost entirely upon reducing and holding to a minimum the cost of transporting grain to tidewater or to rail export point," he wrote.
Over the past century or so, governments have intervened on farmers' behalf with legislation and regulation designed to ensure farmers didn't get gouged. After decades of complaints by the railways, the ultra-low Crowsnest Pass freight rates ended in the 1980s and were replaced with a federal subsidy. That ended in 1995, leaving farmers to pay full freight themselves. Also gone is the Canadian Wheat Board, which was a monopoly big enough to tackle the railway duopoly over service issues in the courts -- and win.
The biggest stick remaining is the revenue cap, which gives the railways flexibility to set rates, but limits the total they can collect from hauling grain. That's indexed to ensure they can cover their costs plus make a profit. Farmers are quick to point out that doesn't apply to grain prices.
Some, including Ritz, are suggesting the revenue cap should be axed as well on the premise farmers might pay more but get better service.
Farmers and shippers have heard that rationale to support deregulation many times before. "It didn't happen," says Western Grain Elevators Association's manager Wade Sobkowich. Shippers just end up paying more.
Federal legislation passed last year, supposedly to address the accountability problem, fell far short of what shippers say is needed. While a grain company has 24 hours to load a train once it is delivered or face penalties, there are no such penalties for the railways, even if the train arrives three weeks late.
Farmers also bear the cost of lost sales if customers go elsewhere.
This won't change until shippers are given the clout they need to hold the railways accountable, either through commercial measures such as offering running rights on rail lines, or adequate legislation.

Stay Home When You're Sick! 670
from the health-is-a-team-game dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Going home sick means using sick time. Getting sick time means getting paid not not work. Getting paid to not work means socialism. Socialism = communism.
Well, you know what you need to do...
everyone knows sick days are for:
1. hangovers, or continuing benders
2. doing something important or fun that can only be done during workday
3. job interview
but as for going to work and making your boss or asshole coworkers sick, so what? fuck 'em!
I've always thought that a supervisor who insists that a sick employee come to work should talk to the employee in person. In close quarters. After they recover, maybe they'll be more generous with sick time.
Here's where you, as the employee, can take the initiative. When I worked for a supervisor that didn't like people out sick, I dragged my miserable ass to the office in the morning to pick up some work to do at home and visit the boss's office for a personal check-in -- you know, to see if there was anything special that came up that I needed to deal with before/instead of what it was understood I was working on. Maybe i had to borrow his desk phone to track him down when he wasn't right there. Proactive stuff. It's what conscientious employees do.
Now I'm an engineer, not a doctor, so I don't know if that had any relation to the boss not showing up the next week.
Saliva causes cancer, but only if swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time. -- George Carlin

Swine flu's ground zero? Townspeople are convinced
Two infants died of pneumonia during the La Gloria outbreak. They were buried without testing.
Townspeople blame their ills on pig waste from farms that lie upwind, five miles (8.5 kilometers) to the north. The toxins blow through other towns, only to get trapped by mountains in La Gloria, they say. They suspect their water and air has been contaminated by waste.
Granjas Carroll de Mexico, half-owned by Virginia-based Smithfield Foods, Inc., has 72 farms in the surrounding area. Smithfield spokeswoman Keira Ullrich said the company has found no clinical signs or symptoms of the presence of swine influenza in its herd or its employees working at its joint ventures anywhere in Mexico.
Animal health expert Peter Roeder, a consultant to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, said many possibilities exist for how the virus first jumped to humans, and that it could have happened months or even a year ago.
Roeder said it's possible someone tending the pigs could have passed a human influenza virus to a pig already infected with another type of swine flu, and then that pig could have also come into contact with a bird virus. Then, the new H1N1 virus formed could have been transmitted back to the workers.
But that's just a theory – and no one has any evidence that it happened in La Gloria.
"It's all surmise," Roeder said by phone from the Philippines. "The only thing that we know is that we have a virus that is transmitting between people and it is causing some concern."
But residents say they have been bothered for years by the fetid smell of the farms. Local health workers intervened in early April, sealing off the town of La Gloria and spraying to kill flies people said were swarming around their homes.
When Associated Press journalists on Monday entered a Granjas Carroll farm that has been the focus of community complaints, the cars were sprayed with water. Victor Ochoa, the general director, required the visitors to shower and don white overalls, rubber boots, goggles and masks and step through disinfectant before entering any of the 18 warehouses where 15,000 pigs are kept.
Ochoa showed the journalists a black plastic lid that covered a swimming pool-size cement container of pig feces to prevent exposure to the outside air.
"All of our pigs have been adequately vaccinated and they are all taken care of according to current sanitation rules," Ochoa said. "What happened in La Gloria was an unfortunate coincidence with a big and serious problem that is happening now with this new flu virus."
Mexican Agriculture Department inspectors found no sign of swine flu among pigs around the farm in Veracruz, and say that no infected pigs have been found yet anywhere in Mexico.
Martinez and Bertha Crisostomo, a liaison between the villagers and the municipal government of Perote to which La Gloria belongs, say half of the people from the town live and work in Mexico City most of the week, and could easily have spread the swine flu in the capital, where most of the swine flu cases have been confirmed.

About this font family
Project D is a font inspired by the infamous graffiti atop the Heygate Estate in South London,
which I've passed by numerous times on the overground train. You can see a picture of it here:
The letters don't entirely match the graffiti as they were created from memory, but I thought such
a profound statement should be honoured.
Project D is a font best used at large sizes, although it should scale well. Use it for computer interfaces, retro headings and anything involving defiance, espionage, infiltration and spy games.

So now my interest is piqued and I'd like to learn more about cheese making. Is there a standard introduction book to cheese making like How to Brew or Joy of Hombrewing for homebrewing?
That looks like an interesting book, I may pick that up next time I'm cruising around Powell's
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Caroll's book is a good place to start. I warn you though, if you want in-depth information I think it is lacking. But it may be all one needs to venture into cheese making. I'd say it's more of the Papa-san version rather than the Palmer version.

On Thursday, Herald videographer Vince Johnson walked 18 holes with Tiger Woods. The following is his 'LIVE blog' of thoughts and observations throughout the round.
Second chances don't come along too often.
Former Georgia Southern basketball player Charlton Young will leave his position as assistant basketball coach at Georgia Tech to become the new head coach at GSU, according to multiple sources, effective at an 11 a.m. press conference this morning.
AUGUSTA - I'm convinced. Nature was perfected the day the Par 3 golf course at Augusta National Golf Club was created.
For just a moment, let's forget about Tiger, Phil, and even Padraig Harrington. Those guys will likely be in the mix come Sunday afternoon at Augusta, but here are five other names to look out for as the weekend progresses.
AUGUSTA - Celebrating it's 75th anniversary in 2009, the Masters, according to the game's best players, has become the world's most prestigious golf tournament.
It's never a bad idea to pat yourself on the back, and I must say, this week I'm more than well-deserving. Quite. Yes. Indeed.
AUGUSTA – The rock star of golf has arrived. At approximately 3 p.m., local children chased his golf cart through the parking lot, and the obscure sound of velcro opening to unleash hoards of personal cameras engulfed an otherwise peaceful early Monday afternoon of Masters week at the Augusta National Golf Club.
Never, in my 10 years of filling out a bracket, have I had a year as absolutely pathetic as this one. I'm done, finished, caput – not a single team left in the Final Four. I went o-fer.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Kenshin Kawakami relished the opportunity to match up against fellow countryman Daisuke Matsuzaka.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Tiger Woods was down to his last shot at Bay Hill, tied for the lead as he measured a 15-foot birdie putt. That's when he heard a lone voice among thousands of people packed into the grandstand behind the 18th green.
My bracket is a complete mess - which is pretty ridiculous considering the lack of big upsets, Cinderella's no-show and a whole lot of big names still standing in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament.
This week, we're going to start with an apology. Last week, I gave a quick review of the 2008-2009 basketball season for all our area teams. Outside of the Statesboro boys team, I guessed most squads were disappointed with the way things ended…wrong.
MIAMI - Even without four players, the Atlanta Hawks had more than enough.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Padraig Harrington is a 36-hole leader on the PGA Tour for the first time in nearly five years and he knows he has a long way to go.
Grab a cup of coffee and spend some time re-living the Georgia Southern Eagles sweeping the Sun Belt Conference through the eyes of Herald Staff Photographer Scott Bryant.

All kinds of Speed Tests, Benchmarks and Battery Stats are welcome
Network: 3G or 4G???
Just wondering how it goes on DC-HSPA+??? Here in UK, Three is fastest so far... I'm getting speeds 15-25Mbps DL / up to 4.5Mbps UL in many places!! Who need expensive LTE with crazy data capping (500MB - £36/pm) and speeds 10-20Mbps... Joke...
To check what kind of 3G connection you have while testing:
1: dial *#0011# (phone will go in to Service Mode)
2: press home button
3: open and run SpeedTest
4: press&hold home button and switch back to Service Mode...
5: on the bottom of screen look for "DC_HSPA+ : 1(enabled) 0(disabled)"
Many people reported bad battery life but I'm very happy with it so I'll share some of my tricks how to get more juice....
My current set up: Pandoriam ROM v6.6, latest Perseus Kernel: no UV, no OC, no tweaks, Modem: BUALI6, Network: 3UK (DC-HSPA)
1. Custom ROM & kernel is recommended but NOT essential (most of them includes battery tweaks also they bloat free)
2. Install BBS and check what's drinking your juice... Some of apps are heavy drinkers (Facebook, Twitter etc....) so keep eye on battery after you install new app(s). Don't use Juice Defender, it makes things worse.
3. Disable Google Now & Locations (main juice drinker)
4. Install "Fast Dormancy Toggle" from Play Store and disable it. It safe to use. If you don't use 4g, change Network Mode to WCDMA only. BTW bad signal reception draining more juice as well.
5. Keep screen brightness on manual, as low as possible... obviously
6. Use inverted apps and dark wallpaper if possible, stay away from live wallpapers...
7. Only If you know what you doing, install app called" NoBloat Free" or any other similar app and disable/freeze unimportant processes draining your battery. (Exchange and Samsung Push Services are heavy drinkers)
8. AutoSync & NFC - OFF!!
9. Use Original Samsung 1A charger, don't use your laptop to charge phone....
10. Keep WiFi ON only if you need it. To make things easy, in Advanced WiFi settings, we have WiFi Timer. (can be used to keep it ON/OFF automatically, through the night for example)

I have to agree with you Awl
We TRIED the ethical choice.
Those of us who gave our money, energy and time to get Dr. Paul nominated already did our part.
But we were belittled as kooks, nutjobs and uncompassionate.
So how anyone chooses to proceed from here is fair game as far as I'm concerned.
Sure - go into debt. What are they going to do when it collapses and EVERYONE is in debt?
Thay can't go after everyone.
The main thing is to buy things of VALUE. Not stupid things like vacations, movies, eating out etc.
But gold, silver, ammo, liquer, real estate or even improvements on things you already own like automobiles or your dwelling.
Besides, you'll be paying back the debt with lower-valued, inflation wracked money, especially if you can get a great (locked-in) rate on money today.
If you lock it in today's low low rates, it's your creditors who will get screwed (when the FED can't hide the inflation anymore) and the dollars you pay them back with are worth a lot less than they are today when you spend them.
I say go for it! But be sensible about it.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."

Pakistan's Prime Minister sought to defuse tension on Sunday over a Supreme Court decision to strike down a presidential order appointing two top judges, saying the dispute would not threaten political stability.
But leading opposition figure Nawaz Sharif sought to play up the issue to pressure President Asif Ali Zardari, saying his decision to appoint two judges opposed by the court showed he was "the biggest threat to democracy".
Mr. Zardari has clashed with Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry in the past, and the court's decision to reject the appointments late on Saturday, only hours after they were announced, sparked fears that the conflict could destabilise Pakistan at a time when it is battling a raging Taliban-led insurgency.
"Today, if there is really a danger to democracy, it is through these kinds of acts by Zardari," Mr. Sharif told reporters. "The government is attacking the judiciary to protect its corruption."
Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira responded by saying Mr. Sharif had spoken in anger and would "certainly correct his position."
