Electronical publishings could include multimedia, like videos or music/soundsnippets. How well does that go together with fictional writing? Could that add something to the atmosphere? Or would it distract the reader too much and should be avoided?
If it's going to make the reader stop reading, don't do it. Your goal as an author is to absorb the author into your world and make them forget about anything going on around them. If a reader has to stop reading to watch your video or listen to a sound snippet, you're not accomplishing that goal. Instead, you'll annoy your reader and they won't want to finish reading your book or read any more. Electronic publication is also still new and with a lot of glitches still. If you throw in multimedia, you're just asking for more trouble. Readers also get frustrated if things don't work properly, so insert multimedia and having it break, will lose you readers.
"Multimedia" can include illustrations, which have been used to accompany text for centuries. In that sense, using multimedia for fiction is well-established.
Using music or video to accompany a story is a very interesting idea, and personally I'd encourage you to experiment, as it could be extremely effective. At the same time, doing this sort of experiment severely limits the ways in which you can present your story, as you need online storage, and a place where people can access your story and its accompanying materials.

Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
When to Get Tested?
When you have joint pain and fatigue that your health care provider suspects may be due to RA
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Rheumatoid factor (RF) is an autoantibody, an immunoglobulin M (IgM) protein that is produced by the body's immune system. Autoantibodies attack a person's own tissues, mistakenly identifying the tissue as "foreign." While the biologic role of RF is not well understood, its presence is useful as an indicator of inflammatory and autoimmune activity. This test detects and measures RF in the blood.
The RF test is a valuable test for helping to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis (RA). About 80% of those with RA will have a positive RF test. However, RF may also be detected in people with a variety of other disorders, including other autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren syndrome, as well as persistent bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, and certain cancers. It may sometimes be seen in those with lung disease, liver disease, and kidney disease, and it can be found in a small percentage (1-5%) of healthy people.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is collected from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
He COULD get two years in jail? Not good enough! And he better get the maximum sentence or this will never stop!! people have to be punished for animal abuse in order for this to ever be prevented in the future.
I just wanted to add that no punishment fits this crime. Animals are not able to open the door and go out to get food. They are at the mercy of humans and with people like this guy who claims to be human, they have no chance or surviving. Thank God for these rescue groups that care about these precious creatures. I think the time should fit the crime: lock them in a room without food/water and let them starve for as long as the animals did. Let them see what it's like and maybe, just maybe, they would never do anything like this again. The sentencing for anmal abusers is a joke; they literally get away with murder and unless we do more, these abuses will continue. This along with hundreds of other things that I read, makes me sick.
In every housing unit that we lived in, someone would abandon a few dogs or a cat in the apartment he or she and the family left behind. In Germany, cats were being born in the stairwell; in Fort Knox, dogs and cats were found in the basement of more than one place. I have no idea why people think moving with a pet is so hard, but apparently many military families do. (We moved 2,800 miles with a giant dog and four cats, and it was not impossible.) If you are ever giving pets away for free near a miltary community, please make sure to ask any military family seeking to adopt from you how often they have given pets away because they have moved, and if you are suspicious of someone's denying it, do not adopt the pet out.
What an ass for leaving them poor helpless animals. I say put him in jail, fine him more than $2000 and most of all starve him til he is almost dead. Who cares about his health. I have no use for humans that abuse and neglect these animals. If they cannot care for them, at least give them to a person(s) who can help them. I live in Ohio and we need harsher punishments for animals abusers. Our law makers here are so damn selfish, they pass stupid laws and we cannot get them to pass a law against animal cruelty and abuse. These politians need to be abused and tortured themselves to know what these animals are going through. Shame on them. Thank God the dogs were rescued and you are the best for helping them.
Thank you to the ASPCA for taking care of these beautiful puppies!!
til I looked at the receipt four $4334, I have faith that my neighbour was like actualy bringing home money in there spare time on-line.. there dads buddy had bean doing this for only fourteen months and a short time ago took care of the loans on their house and got a great Lancia. I went here, FAB33.COM
I don't have a Car. I use to be able to go out and catch and take animals to a shelter. But with my health, I can't anymore. And there are so many strays, and even have neighbors that Cats aren't fixed that let's their Cats out, and their Not Fixed, they say they can't afford to get them fixed, so they let them outside, and the cats are multiplying so much. I don't know what to do to help them all, I put food and water out, because it breaks my heart seeing so many outside. But this must be dealt with. And not sure where to go or who can do something about this. I know feeding them doesn't give them the care and love they need. How do I get people out here to rescue them?
I could not imagine any reason on this earth to leave your puppies behind. Even if you couldn't take them to your new place you could still find them homes or take them to a shelter and explain why you can not have them. I have 5 five month old puppies and I would never even consider leaving them behind. Their momma was a pregnant stray that we found at our job site and brought home. I already have a 12 yr old chihuahua/pom mix. She loves those puppies too. I can't imagine them not being in my life. I love all of them dearly! They have such great personalities! Love my dogs!
This is so sad but not surprising. The laws have to be changed not only in the US but all around the world. We are not doing enough to protect these poor animals. No matter how hard we try the penaties are just not being inforced or harsh enough. If you are abusing animals it should not be "POSSIBLE PENALTIES OR JAIL TIME". It should be PENALTIES AND/OR JAIL TIME. But the criminal system protects them and they know they will only get a slap on the wrist. And sent on their merry way to do it again, and again.
Background checks should be the answer. People are abusing our children everyday. So why would they not think twice in abusing these poor animals.
In 2003 my poor cat Bella was going to be put on the streets by her owner when he moved out of his apartment. I would feed her and give her a warm place to slept most of time she lived there. Although, I'm allergic to pet hair I took her in with no concerns for my own health. She is more then just my pet. She truly is a big part of my family. Her vet tells me I spoil her too much. I have more love for her than I have for some people in my life.

Which rooms are best for fabric blinds?
Published 10:31 AM CDT Oct 31, 2012
Fabric blinds can add a great touch of style and design to a room. However, not all rooms are best suited for fabric blinds.
Fabric blinds work great for bedrooms, living room and dining rooms. They can use various types of fabric to coordinate with the room's décor.
You should avoid using fabric blinds in the kitchen. The fabric will absorb the odors of the room, so you don't want the fabric surrounded by any smoke that might result from cooking.
You also don't want to use fabric blinds in rooms with a lot of moisture. Because of this, you should avoid putting fabric blinds in a bathroom.

This year's Most Valuable Carwasher (MVC) was chosen for a few key reasons. First off, according to the nomination form sent in by Yvan Lacroix of Répare-brise Inc. in Quebec, Canada, this man has an extreme "passion" for his work. "His clients," wrote Lacroix, "range from some of the LA area's most fortuned people, to non-remunerated charity events for churches and nonprofit organizations. His passion for his art is unchallenged as is his skill level. Many product and chemical suppliers solicit his expertise to test products before they make it to the market and hold his opinion as gospel." Next he is involved with various charities and does a lot of work with nonprofits. He also, according to Lacroix, has a great sense of humor and doesn't mind being the brunt of the joke. A passion for his work, a passion for charity and a good sense of humor are some of the reasons José "Joe" Fernandez of Superior Shine in Covina, California, was chosen to be this year's Most Valuable Carwasher.
Passion for his craft
In today's world, finding someone who likes their job is always a nice thing. But, finding someone who is passionate about their job is even better. Lacroix said that José is not only a great detailer, but also a great person who is always at the forefront of his craft and has always been environmentally responsible, even before it was legislated or popular. According to Lacroix, he was also one of the first to embrace waterless washing. "José shows his passion and professionalism in everything he does. Weather he is detailing a Toyota Corolla for his daughters teacher, or a million dollar Bugatti, the passion and pride in his work is the same. He lives to shine!"
Going that extra mile
Charity work is something we continuously applaud and promote here at Professional Carwashing & Detailing. Fernandez seems to have that aspect of his life down pat. Lacroix said he does everything from charity for his daughters' school to free plane detailing for pilots who give free plane rides to children who are dying. "Last month," Lacroix said, "he elaborated an offer to his clients, giving them a $600 credit for sponsoring a child overseas. José served his country in the marines, and for years he has sent and continues to send care packages to those stationed abroad."
Greatest strengths
Apparently, according to what Lacroix had to say, Fernandez might be a little shy about receiving the Most Valuable Carwasher award. "On a personal level José is a devout family man, church goer, and humble to a fault," said Lacroix. "He has no problems being the brunt of a joke, and in his many conferences and training seminars keeps his audience in stitches with his ever present humor." Lacroix also noted Fernandez's perfection and his thirst to learn. "Over the years," he said, "his reputation as one of our industry's luminaries has elevated him to the status of a superstar in the realm of detailing, but he remains modest and humble despite his overwhelming skill and experience."

There are only two others like it in the Marine Corps.
Marine Corps Auxiliary Field Bogue is one of three airfields in the Marine Corps that allow pilots to perform Field Carrier Landing Practices, or practice the ability to take off from and land on small surfaces like an aircraft carrier's deck.
The other two airfields with the same capability are located in Yuma, Ariz., and Okinawa, Japan, making Bogue Air Field the only place on the East Coast that Marine Corps pilots can practice landing on an aircraft carrier before actually having to land on one.
"(The flight line) is painted just exactly the same dimensions and markings and everything as what the ship is going to look like when we go out there," said Capt. David Thomas, airfield operations company commander on Bogue. "By being able to do the (flight pattern) repetitiously ... on a mock ship like this before actually going out a hundred miles off the coast or in bad guy country somewhere — it really builds all that muscle memory that will make it an as safe as possible evolution for the pilots."
The training at Bogue Field is required for all Marine Corps pilots before deploying with a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) because during the deployment, they'll be expected to land on and take off from the ships frequently.
In addition to the mock ship deck, or LHA, Thomas added that what makes an auxiliary airfield like Bogue unique is its ability to be constructed just about anywhere. Bogue serves as a model for the small airfields that Marines can construct in any location in a matter of just one week. The airfields are typically constructed in forward deployed areas, and Thomas said the ability to work fast and work from a ship is what makes Marine Corps aviation stand out from the other services.
"This is the bread and butter of what makes us Marines," Thomas said. "It's what separates us from the Air Force — separates us from the Army — is our expeditionary nature and expeditionary mindset."
Because Bogue Field is centrally located in the Town of Bogue and only a mile or so from the densely populated Emerald Isle, Tyler Harris, community plans and liaison officer for Cherry Point, said noise complaints from area residents are expected, but not exactly common.
"We get a complaint maybe once a month," Harris said, adding that Bogue Field's location was selected in the 1940s because it was a rural area with a small population.
However, Harris said, those circumstances have since changed, as the area has become more populated.
"The water has attracted residential growth, but residential growth is not always compatible with the training," Harris said, adding that the low patterns the pilots are required to fly during their training at Bogue Field only exacerbates the noise issue.
Harris said commanders have no intention of relocating the highly necessary field, but the governing body of Emerald Isle has gone to great lengths to ensure residents know why they're hearing the planes fly overhead almost daily.
The Town of Emerald Isle has a page on its website — complete with an up-to-date flight schedule — informing residents about the Marine Corps flight operations.
Emerald Isle Town Manager Frank Rush said the town has strived to maintain a close relationship with Bogue Field and Cherry Point officials, a process that was simplified with the completion of the Eastern Carolina Joint Land Use Study in 2003. The study establishes land use guidelines for the military and regulations for the development of civilian properties within Cherry Point and Bogue Field training areas.
"We've certainly communicated our concerns to (the base) and they've tried to work with us as much as possible," Rush said, adding that while the governing body of Emerald Isle understands the military's need for training, his office also has a duty to minimize the noise impact on the people who live on Emerald Isle.
Rush said that while the town has gone to great lengths to educate the people living on or visiting Emerald Isle about the frequent training taking place at Bogue Field, there are still occasional concerns coming from people living along Bogue Sound — the body of water separating Emerald Isle and Bogue Field — because the aircraft can fly lower over water than they can over land, which adds to the noise.
Rush added that although there are occasional complaints from residents, the number of complaints have dramatically decreased in recent years, in part because residents and visitors "genuinely respect the need for the military to train."

Florence Costs
The cost doesn't even compare to the value of this trip -- while there is a dollar sign attached to this commitment, the benefits outweigh any price.
Yes, it will cost you to spend a semester in Florence, but don't let that deter you. Exactly how much sticker shock you'll face depends on what you're used to spending for college. For example, if you normally live in a residence hall, you'll find that housing in Florence costs about the same as you've been paying. If you're used to commuting, it's a whole different story. Here's some good advice:
Take a deep breath when you see the cost and realize that you will never regret it. If you are considering going then make that dream come true by any means. I'm happy to come back home and work hard to pay off the loans. This experience was worth every single penny it took.
You'll see below that fixed costs for the Florence semester equal between $8,000 and $9,000 plus tuition. That includes airfare, housing, etc., but it does not include money for food, travel and personal expenses. How much you'll need for that varies greatly, depending on your lifestyle: Do you like to travel first class and eat in four-star restaurants every day, and are you determined to see every country in Europe? Or are you excited to spend time getting to know Florence and Tuscany, willing to stay in hostels when you do travel, and plan cook in your apartment most of the time? Over four months, those choices add up to thousands of dollars.
The best advice from students who've been there is simply to live within your means – whatever they are. Know how much money you have for the semester, and budget it out over the four months. And no cheating – You don't want to get 10 or 12 weeks in and run out of money. As Ryan says, take a deep breath, and then click over to the Financing and Scholarships page to get busy finding and saving money. And don't forget that so far, the College has given every CCI Florence student $1,000.
Costs change from semester to semester, depending on variables such as airfare prices and the dollar-to-euro exchange rate. Here are the costs for Fall 2014. And FYI, you must bring a laptop.
• Tuition: Standard full-time Kent State tuition applies
• Airfare ranges from $1,100 to $1,800, and we just have to take what's available. You are free to fly independently if you have access to frequent flier miles or some other means to cheaper travel.
• Program Fee (see Note 1): $2,600.00
• International Health Insurance (mandatory policy) 4 months: $203.25
• Field Trip Fees (see Note 2): $1,450.00
• Housing in Florence, includes utilities and final cleaning (see Note 3): $3,527.00
(See the fine print at the bottom of the page for notes)
As stated above, that adds up to between $8,880.25 and $9,580.25 plus tuition. Add to that your money for food, travel and personal expenses, and you have your total. But remember, some of that is money you're used to spending: tuition, housing, food, and personal expenses. The major extras are the program and field study fees, airfare and travel. Remember also that students with less money and fewer resources have made this happen. You can too.

The ME E&R whitepaper series
Managing scarcity for the future
We have the pleasure of announcing the "Managing scarcity for the future" whitepaper series, a Deloitte Middle East Energy and Resources industry group thought leadership initiative.
As the Middle East continues to feel the impact of the global financial crisis, governments are finding new challenges in the energy and resources industry. Meanwhile within each sector of oil, gas, electricity and water, other challenges and trends are forcing inevitable change in traditional thinking. Issues such as depleting resources, shortage in skilled talent and environmental concerns, among others, pose a risk to the viability of current practices. What will be the impact on the public and private sectors? The Deloitte Middle East Energy and Resources industry group aims to provide an answer in a series of whitepapers entitled "Managing scarcity for the future".
Whitepaper #7: Renewable energy
The seventh e-whitepaper, entitled 'Renewable energy: Seeds of change', tackles some of the challenges and opportunities in the renewable energy sector in the GCC. This topic has become increasingly relevant as many GCC governments have recently announced plans to embrace renewable energy in the near future.
However, what impact will these plans have on the private sector? What are some of the near and longer term themes and opportunities that will emerge as a result of the changes?
Whitepaper #6: Diversion ahead
The new whitepaper, entitled "Diversion Ahead" of the "Managing scarcity for the future" series published by ME Energy and Resources industry group, explores the challenges and trends emerging in the energy and resources sector. The need to reduce demand, increase supply diversity, promote energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions is both desirable and necessary, according to the whitepaper.
Whitepaper #5: Show me the money
This fifth whitepaper tackles the increasing level of federal scrutiny on the strategy of national oil companies (NOCs) in the Middle East during the recent years. Rising global energy consumption patterns coupled with rebounding oil prices have created the ideal opportunity for Middle Eastern governments to increase their treasury intake from the sale of hydrocarbons.
Whitepaper #4: Energy on demand: the future of GCC energy efficiency
The fourth whitepaper, entitled "Energy on demand: the future of GCC energy efficiency", tackles the topic 'Energy Efficiency', which revolves around reducing energy waste: this can be both on the demand side through power demand management and on the supply side using a host of technologies to improve efficiency in power generation and distribution. So how do the GCC countries stand in relation to these perspectives? Are there potential gains from using or producing energy more efficiently?
Whitepaper #3: Ghost in the machine
In the third whitepaper, entitled "Ghost in the machine", of the "Managing scarcity for the future" series published by ME Energy and Resources industry group, Deloitte states that as a result of the increase in prominence of oilfield services companies, as well as the dependence of national and international oil companies upon them, the risks which oilfield services companies face have become risks to the whole sector.
Whitepaper #2: Never mind the reserves, what about the people?
This Deloitte whitepaper on Energy & Resources discusses the issues that the Middle East is facing in shortages of talent in the energy and utilities sector and reveals some tactics that national oil companies are using to address the nationalization and skills issue, such as sponsoring continuing education, a key element in staff development and retention.
Whitepaper #1: Switched on to current trends and implications
In this whitepaper specifically, Deloitte Middle East aims to enumerate the wide-ranging trends, their implications and the services that are potentially applicable in overcoming the challenges.

Highest ranked agencies distinguished by strong leadership
Friday - 12/14/2012, 5:42am EST
NASA, the Surface Transportation Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation share a common trait as part of their ranking as the Best Places to Work among their similarly sized agencies.
Leadership is the factor that differentiates the successful agencies in keeping their employees satisfied and those that continually struggle with morale issues.
Max Stier, president and CEO, Partnership for Public Service
"Many people think the frontline supervisors are the ones that drive satisfaction, but our data tells us that senior leadership is the most important factor," said Max Stier, the president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, at the organization's event highlighting the release of its seventh annual agency rankings Thursday in Washington. "About 60 percent of the change in an agency is driven by the employees' perspective of their management. Good leadership can make the biggest difference and have the most impact."
The Partnership and Deloitte's research showed that overall employee satisfaction dropped in 2012 to 60.8 points, a 3.2 point decrease over 2011.
But each of the top-ranked agencies — and several other highly-rated departments — defied the constant morale busting attacks from Capitol Hill against federal employee pay, benefits and the overall limitation of resources.
The core of NASA
Lori Garver, the deputy administrator of NASA, said the space agency's top ranking comes down to its employees feeling a connection to the mission.
"I think the number one thing is communication and respect for your workforce," Garver said in an interview with Federal News Radio after the awards presentation. "We are an open organization and [NASA Administrator] Charlie [Bolden] and I have tried very much to constantly be in communication with the workforce and to listen. Communication is two way. We go out to the centers and give all-hands [meetings]. The list shown today of the top things you do, every single one is something we believe in to our core, not because it's on a list. We do it naturally and our workforce comes to NASA because they want to make a difference and I think they are feeling a part of an agency that is making a difference."
John Porcari, deputy secretary, Department of Transportation
NASA jumped to No. 1 from No. 5 in 2011, but the four agencies in front of them were put in a new mid-sized agency category for organizations with 1,000 to less than 15,000 employees.
The Transportation Department saw the biggest jump of any large agency, moving up 4.1 points in 2012 and 11 points since 2010.
John Porcari, the deputy secretary at DoT, said leadership from Secretary Ray LaHood on down is the biggest reason for the three-year improvement.
More specifically, Porcari said Transportation implemented several initiatives to address weaknesses in employee satisfaction.
He said among the ideas that had the biggest impact were, "Town hall meetings both electronic and in person around the country, here in Washington with the Secretary and employees, setting up IdeaHub where all of our employees can submit ideas, rank each other ideas and submit them for management consideration. We've implemented a number of IdeaHub suggestions. When people see that we are taking their suggestions seriously, it helps."
Drilling down into the bureaus
Porcari also said DoT drills down to the bureau level to address satisfaction issues. He said the Air Traffic Controllers is a good example of this effort.
"We've tried very hard to build a productive partnership. We feel like we've gotten there and that's one of the single biggest components that is driving the change here," he said. "Better training for frontline supervisors is another component of it. You need to put all those together and they drive the department."
Porcari added DoT also puts employee engagement as a performance metric in managers' assessment plans, and that too is helping to change the agency's culture.
The Office of Management and Budget was the most improved agency across the government with an increase of 13.3 points.
OMB ranked 11th among small agencies. It had seen a dramatic drop of 22 points in employee satisfaction between 2009 to 2011.
"OMB was able to take advantage of in-depth data to drill down and spot both trends across the agency and also specific issues at a fairly micro level, and then act upon those data," said OMB Controller Danny Werfel in an email to Federal News Radio. "By honing in on the root causes of employee concerns and addressing them, OMB was able to dramatically improve employee satisfaction across the board."
The National Credit Union Administration was the most improved mid-size agency with an increase of 2.9 points, which earned it a sixth overall ranking in that category.
Four years at No. 1
For the fourth year in a row, the Surface Transportation Board received the top ranking for small agencies, and this year the highest score among all agencies with 84.3. The Congressional Budget Office was a close second with a 84.2. This was the first year CBO participated in the rankings.
Daniel Elliott, chairman, Surface Transportation Board
Daniel Elliott, the chairman of the Surface Transportation Board, said the top ranking comes from a continued focus on open communications and employee engagement.
"What I try to do is feel open to the employees. My office is open every Thursday for anyone to come up whether it's just to talk or if it's a complaint, and they know I'm there to listen to them and take their concerns seriously," he said. "I also believe the directors in the agency are also open in that same manner. They are good people, who listen to their people and care about their people I think the employees that work at the agency sense that."
Elliot said employees at the board also feel a sense of purpose and lasting impact. He said their sense of worth is real and not just lip service, especially around the decisions they issue that will have a lasting impact on the country.
DoT's Porcari echoed Elliot's belief that there can't be too much manager-to-employee communication.
"It drives senior management, mid-level management and how we think about issues, and it means all of us are going to be accountable for what we do," he said.
Porcari said DoT will continue to improve how it communicates with its employees, ensuring news, good or bad comes from the top and not via the media or the rumor mill.
NASA's Garver said her focus will be on employee communication as well. She said internal and external discussions about what NASA is doing and the impact it's having on the U.S. space program is important as a way to keep employee morale high.
The Surface Transportation Board's Elliott said creating a personal experience with employees and managers really goes a long way to listening and learning about the agency.
The Partnership's Stier said successful agencies dig deep into the survey's results to find the areas that need the most work.
"What you all are trying to achieve cannot be measured by financial metrics. We don't have stock prices. By and large, most of the work done by the federal government cannot be measured simply by dollars and cents," he said. "But what we do know is that when we have engaged employees, we have better performance. What we've tried to do with the Best Places to Work rankings is to give all of you the tools that will enable you to better manage your agencies by giving you real data on what your employees have to say about your agencies, and very importantly, benchmarking that across government."
'Best Place to Work?' -- Not so much

The GoPro Hero 3+: Black Edition is the most superior GoPro to date. The Hero 3+ includes 20% smaller and lighter housing and 25% longer battery life than the original Go Pro Hero 3. The Hero 3+: Black Edition is even more wearable and gear mountable than its already highly wearable predecessor, with plenty of new attachment options available. Sport the GoPro Hero 3+: Black Edition while partaking in adventure water sports; as its waterproof for up to 131' (40 meters). Exclusive to the Hero3+ Black Edition is the new SuperView video mode which captures the world's most immersive wide angle perspective for the most realistic, captivating and engaging shots, so you can justify your adventures when sharing them with friends and family. The cinema-quality video features Auto Low Light which intelligently adjusts frame rate for stunning low light performance.
No expense was spared during the development of the GoPro Hero 3+: Black Edition. Not only is the Hero 3+: Black Edition faster, smaller, and lighter, but the video imaging is 33% sharper with less distortion. With that being mentioned, GoPro understands that the audio is just as important as the visuals when it comes to high quality video; therefore, the already completely redesigned audio system for the Hero 3 has been upgraded even further for the Hero 3+. The Hero 3+: Black Edition has the ability to capture more subtle, natural sounds of voice and music as well as the sounds of the all the action in the sport. Advanced wind-noise reduction technology keeps the audio clearer during high-speed activities.
Another upgrade from the prior model is that the Hero 3+: Black Edition's built- in Wi-Fi is 4x faster for enhanced connectivity to the Wi-Fi Remote (included) and GoPro App. The GoPro App gives you the ability to use your smartphone or tablet as a remote for your camera, plus it makes previewing, playing back and sharing your video on social media quick and convenient. The enhanced connectivity to the included Wi-Fi Remote enables control of up to 50 cameras from distances of up to 600'/180m. The Hero3+ is the smallest, lightest GoPro yet, making it the most mountable, wearable and versatile GoPro ever.
