I just started testing zimbra. I'm trying to migrate a server from qmail to zimbra. I have used extensions heavily on the old server (for use with TMDA). I'm not planning to use TMDA with zimbra yet, however I don't want to lose the mails coming to all the extension addresses I have used so far. In qmail, I used '-' as the delimiter. I tried to set the recipient_delimiter to '-' by using 'zmprov mcf zimbraMtaRecipientDelimiter -' and restarted zimbra. Now, postconf shows recipient_delimiter is in fact -, however, when I send a mail to an extension, it is being rejected as unknown user.
Do I need to take any additional steps?
Thanks in advance for any help

The golden child of Kobe, Japan, Shin Kinoshita aka "Shinja" is clearly one of the most creative, technical, and fun to watch riders in the realm of sportbike freestyle. Monster Energy teammate Nick Brocha said it best comparing Shin's unique riding style to a "Tasmanian devil." As Japan's top ambassador for the sport, Shin has proved that his impressive control mixed with ninja like balance is the magical recipe to land him podium finishes around the globe. Showing much dedication to his craft Shin spends a huge portion of his year preparing to compete in the U.S. based XDL championship series with 2012 being Shin's fourth year in contention for the XDL championship. When not pounding the pavement on his motorcycle you can most likely find him fishing for squid in the south Pacific or wrenching on bikes at his Kobe based motorcycle shop.

(USA Today) -- The National Rifle Association will sponsor the April 13 Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, track president Eddie Gossage announced Monday during the 1.5-mile oval's annual preseason media day Monday.
The race, shown live by Fox, will be renamed from the Texas 500 to the NRA 500. It will be the first Saturday prime-time event of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season. Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) is among the largest sporting venues in the United States, with seating capacity in excess of 190,000.
It's the second time in a year that the NRA will be the title sponsor of a NASCAR event. Last September, the organization backed the NRA American Warriors 300, a Nationwide Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Tracks independently sign companies to sponsorship entitlement, but NASCAR has final approval through its race sanctioning agreements. The NRA replaces Samsung Mobile, the sponsor since 2002.
"The NRA has been involved in the sport for several years and a partner of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. for many years in various aspects, and this race entitlement is just another extension of that business relationship," Gossage said in a statement. "We look forward to another successful partnership with the NRA for our April race week of activities."
NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre did not attend Monday's announcement at TMS but spoke in a video message.
"The NRA 500 is the latest announcement in the long history of a growing partnership between the NRA, Speedway Motorsports and the NASCAR community," LaPierre said. "NRA members and NASCAR fans love their country and everything that is good and right about America. We salute our flag ... volunteer in our churches and communities ... cherish our families ... and WE LOVE RACING! On April 13, we'll all come together at Texas Motor Speedway."
The NRA-sponsored Sprint Cup race will happen just two months after Michael Waltrip drove a Toyota in the Daytona 500 with a paint scheme supporting a victims' relief fund for the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The Newtown-emblazoned car of Swan Racing was unveiled by NASCAR chairman Brian France last month in a news conference at Daytona International Speedway.
It was a one-race arrangement for Swan Racing, which will have a new primary sponsor at Texas and doesn't have plans for another Newtown scheme.
At the unveiling of the Newtown-emblazoned car last month, France and his wife announced they will donate $50,000 to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund, which the NASCAR Foundation will match.
France said then he was excited to witness firsthand the NASCAR's community's embrace and support of the fundraising effort.
"Being in Newtown last week and delivering a moment of happiness to that community was unlike anything I've ever experienced," France said at the time. "Looking out at a room of smiling faces amidst the aftermath of a horrible tragedy was very powerful. It hit me that the NASCAR industry and our passionate fan base have an unbelievable opportunity to rally around this cause and make a huge difference for a community in need."

Birth Place: Bronx, New York, USA
Born: 04/16/1954
Birth Place: Bronx, New York, USA
Ellen Barkin was born on April 16, 1954 into a working-class Jewish family in South Bronx, NY. Her father was a salesman for Fuller Brush who also worked as an usher at Yankee Stadium; her mother was an administrative assistant at Jamaica Hospital. Always a rebellious child, Barkin once protested her parents' refusal to let her go to Woodstock by staying up all night dropping acid. At 15, she spent a great deal of time hanging out in Greenwich Village and, on a lark, auditioned for the High School of Performing Arts. Though accepted, her teachers felt her chances at succeeding were slim at best, citing that she had "a little talent, but no spark." After studying at the school for three years... Continue Bio >>

Curfew and bedtime are two of the more negotiable household rules. During adolescence, when boys and girls are getting their first taste of independence, they probably spend the equivalent of a law-school education making their case to Mom and Dad for just a little extra time to stay out or to stay up.
What is not negotiable are the consequences for disobeying curfew, except in the event of unforeseen circumstances. So that the punishment conforms to the crime, deduct time from future curfews, depending on the severity of the infraction. If your youngster straggles in an hour late, perhaps the next time he goes out with his friends, he has to come home an hour earlier than usual. Two hours past curfew buys a teenager a Friday or Saturday night confined to home. Long-term punishments, such as grounding the offender for one month, amount to overkill and will very likely do more harm than good.
Q: When setting a curfew, how do I know what's reasonable and what's not? All of my son's friends have to be home at different times, so it's hard to base my decision on what other parents do.
A: You can start by consulting the following table, which gives parents general guidelines appropriate for each stage of adolescent development.
Let's use as an example a fourteen-year-old boy. If he has school or other early morning commitments the next day, he really should be home no later than nine o'clock at night; if it's a vacation day coming up, between 10 P.M. and 11 P.M. is reasonable.
That's your starting point. Now factor in the following:
During Early Adolescence Ages 12 to 13
During Middle Adolescence Ages 14 to 16
During Late Adolescence Ages 17 to 21
On most nights prior to school or other morning activities or responsibilities:
7 P.M. to 8 P.M.
8 P.M. to 9 P.M.
10 P.M. to 11 P.M.
On most nights not followed by school, or other morning activities or responsibilities:
9 P.M. to 10 P.M.
12 A.M. to 1 A.M.
Following a special event, such as a rock concernt and so on, he must be home by ____, depending on distance and travel time:
No later than 12 A.M.
No later than 12 A.M.
No later than 2 A.M.

|Holyoke students excel at National History Day regional competition
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke was represented by 17 students at the regional National History Day contest at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley Saturday, March 2.
In total, there were 147 entries from Northeastern Colorado. Participants entered essays, documentaries, performances or websites to be evaluated by professional historians and educators.
Five Holyoke Junior High students will be moving on to the state level of the competition on May 4 as they placed in the top three at the regional event.
Alex Strauss and Logan Osborne entered in the essay division. Strauss nabbed the top placing and Osborne came in third.
Juana Penzing took first place in the website division and Whitney Powell placed first in the individual performance division. Austin Herman placed second in the historical documentary division.
Projects were judged on quality, clarity of presentation, relationship to the theme and compliance to rules. For the best score, judges were looking to make sure the student showed a historical perspective, analyzed and interpreted information presented and investigated a variety of sources.
Five Holyoke eighth graders beat out the other 130 kids in the competition to place in the top three at the regional National History Day competition and will be moving on to the state competition in May. Those who will be advancing are pictured from left, Austin Herman, Alex Strauss, Whitney Powell, Logan Osborne and Juana Penzing.
Also competing were high schoolers Meg Strauss, Alyssa Cordova, Anastasia Conklin, Taylor Goldenstein and Bianca Rodriguez.
Junior high students who also competed were Dylon Lousberg, Jacklyn Gerk, Kayla Marshall, Brendan Mayden, Tara Krueger, Brook Prottsman and Zach Churchwell.
Students were accompanied by JR/SR high school history teacher Luke Thomas.
The goal of the competition is to teach students 21st century skills, civic engagement, critical thinking, writing and research skill as well as prepare them for college, careers and citizenship.
Annually, 15,000 Colorado students and 700,000 students nationally participate in the competition. The theme for this year's competition was "Turning Points in History: People, Ideas, Events."
Those who place in the top two spots at the state competition will be qualified to move on to the national competition at the University of Maryland from June 9-13.

Generational Giving
The Tello family, of Bismarck, has faced the heartache of watching four loved ones deal with breast cancer. Now, through gifts to the Builders of Excellence Endowment Campaign (http://bismarck.sanfordhealth.org/foundation/buildersofexcellence.asp), that cross two generations, they hope to make a difference for other families in the future.
Dr. Ron and Joyce Tello both lost their mothers to the disease. Barbara Saba, Joyce's mother, was diagnosed in 1977 and elected to use experimental treatments during her 10-year battle. "She fought it and appreciated the latest medical technology for that time," Joyce said.
Bertha Tello, Dr. Tello's mother, had a more difficult experience. After her diagnosis six years ago at the age of 81, she struggled with chemotherapy and died one year later.
Joyce's brother, Duane Saba, dealt with breast cancer, too, after it metastasized from his colon, lungs and eventually his brain. "I've never seen anyone fight as hard as he did," Joyce said.
The most recent family member diagnosed was Penny Skjerseth, the mother of Dr. Tello's son-in-law, Brent Skjerseth. She is currently in remission.
"Almost everyone knows someone or is related to someone who has had breast cancer," said Dr. Christina Tello-Skjerseth, Dr. Tello's daughter. "I don't think there's enough awareness as far as how to detect it. I think educating people on how simple it is to get your mammogram and how important these technologies are to our community would be impactful."
Their family experiences with the disease prompted both couples to establish named endowments through the Sanford Health Foundation in Bismarck to provide on-going, permanent support for breast cancer patients at Sanford Bismarck.
Dr. Ron and Joyce Tello pledged $100,000 to create the Dr. Ronald and Joyce Tello Endowment for Sanford's Breast Cancer Program at the Bismarck Cancer Center in memory of their mothers. Dr. Tello-Skjerseth and Brent Skjerseth dedicated $50,000 to establish the Dr. Christina Tello and Brent Skjerseth Endowment for Sanford Radiology Breast Imaging.
"The fund will continue to grow. It will not disappear. It will be there forever," Dr. Tello said.
In addition to demonstrating their commitment to breast cancer, the families took advantage of the Sanford Health Foundation's historic Builders of Excellence Endowment Campaign, a $20 million matching gifts campaign designed to double donors' investments.
"After hearing what the campaign entailed, we thought it would be better to make an everlasting impact instead of a one-time gift," Dr. Tello-Skjerseth said.
Brent agreed. "This is a great opportunity with the matching program," he said. "The time to do it is right now, especially if people have the means to do so."
In addition, both couples also benefited from the North Dakota charitable income tax credit. This special incentive, for donors to charitable endowments in the state, provides a tax credit of 40 percent of the charitable deduction allowed by the IRS.
"That just seems so incredibly powerful," Joyce said. "We can leave a lasting legacy for our mothers, have it matched, plus get this wonderful tax credit from the state of North Dakota. All of those things were great incentives."
An additional incentive, for all of these donors, was giving back to their hometown of Bismarck.
"It's something we were brought up with," Dr. Tello-Skjerseth said. "To me, it means donating your time, energy and money, if possible, back to the community and to the people who helped shape who you are."
Contributing to Sanford Health was an easy decision, too. Many Tello family members have worked in the health system in Bismarck in the last 60 years.
"It's something I've always known I wanted to come back and be a part of that tradition and legacy," she said.
For more information about the Builders of Excellence Endowment Campaign, and leaving your own legacy on health care, visit Bismarck.SanfordHealth.org/Foundation or call the Sanford Health Foundation at (701) 323-8450.

The survey tracks economic and non-economic efforts made by employers to engage employees since 2004, and their perceived effectiveness.
Our latest nationwide survey of how 427 companies, including 17 precast concrete producers, are trying to persuade workers to improve productivity in today's uncertain times not surprisingly finds growing numbers of employees are now primarily motivated by basics — job security and pay — and only secondarily influenced by employer efforts using the latest "employee engagement" fad.
In 2004, before the Great Recession, we visited these companies, asking executives how they were trying to persuade employees to make greater on-the-job efforts, and which ways were most effective. We repeated the survey in 2008 during the Great Recession, when construction was down and the demand for precast forms was nil; and again in early this year, during our sullen recovery. Trends in company efforts to persuade employees to improve on-the-job performance — and the effectiveness of these efforts — are shown in the accompanying charts.
The charts show five important facts:
What's behind employee thinking?
Eschewing jargon, our surveys show the obvious: recent events had key impacts on workers' attitudes and changed how to influence their behavior effectively. The Great American Recession of 2008-2009 brought new commercial construction — and the demand for precast concrete — to a screeching halt, just as the decline in tax receipts on the state and local levels crippled public spending on infrastructure for bridges and similar structures. Soaring unemployment devastated American consumers, and economics soured worldwide. The current Euro crisis and the nascent Far East slowdown both are now harming U.S. exports and the jobs they provided.
Unless Washington faces up to our nation's fiscal situation, the non-partisan Congressional Budget office says America will fall off a "Fiscal Cliff" early next year, triggering another recession. Recessions constrict construction, just as the current high gasoline prices at the pump squeeze consumers.
Consumer confidence and workers' attitudes have been shaken by these events. With today's uncertainties and tomorrow's concerns about recessions, concrete industry executives have learned that short term, transparent economic motivators paired with supporting communications efforts are most effective in persuading employees to boost productivity and cut per-unit costs. Using them improves worker performance, bolsters future job security, and shows workers they can control their own destinies — the smarter they work, the better their future will be.

DETROIT (AP) - The U.S. government says new cars and trucks sold last year averaged 23.6 miles per gallon of gasoline, a record.
Mazda led all auto companies with an average of 27.1 mpg, followed by Honda at 26.6. Chrysler-Fiat had the worst mileage at 20.1, followed by Daimler at 21.1 mpg. All the figures are for combined city and highway driving.
The Environmental Protection Agency says the overall increase for 2012 is 1.2 miles per gallon above 2011. That's the second-largest annual increase in 30 years.
The agency says automakers are increasing mileage by cutting weight and with more efficient engines and transmissions.

The entire setup.
Panthers did say that it was impossible for him to get his brakes oriented properly because of the fork / wheel combination... I'd still like to see a close up of those brakes.
Any decent mechanic would look at this and say the same thing and since I am usually a helpful guy (and a damn fine mechanic), I had to point it out.
Perhaps other people will see that and take a look at their own bikes as many bikes leave the shop without being properly set up because their is a shortage of skilled bicycle mechanics out there.
This really manifests itself with entry level bikes as many shops will not spend as much time checking them over and the senior mechanics will usually be working on higher end bikes and handling more challenging repair work.
One of our members' husband has a brand new Specialized hybrid and I was looking it over the other day (because they are local) and noted the brakes were off... not because of improper setup bit because the rear wheel was not dished properly.
As always... I hope you are learning stuff here.

Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell is preparing to launch a new assault on the charts when she releases an album next month.
The singer will put out her new single Half of Me on Oct. 25, through a record deal with Sony Music Australia.

|34 tracksters gear up for season
|Written by Darci Tomky
With six returning state medalists and a solid 34-athlete crew, the HHS track team is gearing up for its 2010 season. They kicked off their spring schedule with a meet in Yuma Tuesday, March 23.
Head coach Sandra Rahe is excited for the number of tracksters out this year, especially the 13 boys, noting they look forward to putting together some boys' relays this year. The boys' team includes one senior, five juniors, four sophomores and three freshmen.
Joining the boys are 21 girls including four seniors, seven juniors, three sophomores and seven freshmen.
Assisting Rahe on the coaching staff are Rod and Tracy Trumper. Rod is new to the lineup this year and will be concentrating on creating a strength program for all tracksters. This is Tracy's third year of coaching with Rahe, with both bringing eight years of coaching experience to the team.
Rachel Schneider will serve as this year's track manager.
Rahe noted the athletes plan to be in the weight room more this year to develop strength, speed, agility, flexibility, coordination and explosive power. Seven Dragon athletes represented HHS at the state track meet last year, and Rahe expects to take many more this year.
Athletes to watch this season include Marissa Smith in the 100, 200 and 400 meter races and relays; Heather Duester, 200 and 400 meter races and relays; Marci Vasa, relays; Mallory Bennett, relays; Shelby Beavers, hurdles and relays; KrisAnna Ham, hurdles and relays; Kyle Carper, sprints, long jump and triple jump; Alex Quintana, hurdles; Jeremy Loutensock, distance; and Frank Diaz, sprints and mid-distance.

Rare type of tornado surprised everyone
There have only been a little more than 750 tornadoes this year and not all of them were expected.
Compared to the last 10 years, this is the third quietest season. And if it weren't for the April 28 outbreak, it'd be the lowest count -- by a long shot.
The April outbreak hit the south hard, spawning more than 150 tornadoes, more than any other single day this year.
On this day, residents in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee were expecting a day of tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center had issued a moderate risk that morning since ingredients for a tornado outbreak were coming together.
But during the first week of summer, residents in Brunswick, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland weren't expecting the EF-1 tornado that touched down on June 23.
It was only on the ground for five minutes and traveled a little more than one and a half miles, but it managed to do a fair amount of damage in a short period of time.
No meteorologist could have forecast this type of tornado. Straight line winds associated with a line of strong thunderstorms collided with a strong lake breeze to create enough rotation for a small, short-lived tornado.
This tornado formed so quickly and unexpectedly, the National Weather Service never issued a tornado warning. It did, however, issue a severe thunderstorm warning moments before it.
When severe weather strikes, it usually happens quickly, and smartphone users who've installed the Storm Shield Weather Radio App can hear more than 100 watches and warnings as they're issued.
Right after the alert, they receive the National Weather Service forecast informing them of the danger headed their way.
On top of National Weather Service watches and warnings, Storm Shield is the only weather app with a dedicated AMS sealed meteorologist, providing national severe weather forecasts and other severe weather content within the app.
Follow Storm Shield Meteorologist Jason Meyers via the Storm Shield app on twitter, @StormShieldApp and Facebook. Download the Storm Shield Weather Radio App for your iPhone or Android device and get severe weather alerts wherever you are.

Lil Wayne says he's healthy. Even though he's been suffering a string of seizures the last several months, the YMCMB artist-executive said he is not worried about his health. "I'm good," the mogul told "RapFix Live." "I'm 100 percent. So everybody know, I don't know that it happened."
Sway, who conducted the interview that also prominently featured Birdman, asked Wayne what the seizures are like. "I go to sleep," Wayne told him. "Wake up in the hospital. I hope it stops happening...No warning or nothing. I don't feel sick. I get headaches real fast, but I don't get no headaches or nothing."
Wayne also said that he is following his doctor's advice in order to stay healthy.
Even though Wayne provided several updates about his health, Birdman was the focus of the majority of the interview. The Cash Money Records co-founder said that his oft-delayed Bigger Than Life album is coming out in September. He added that he just needs "to sharpen up a few" of its songs and record more material with Drake and Wayne for the project.
Birdman also said that original member Mannie Fresh will not be a member of the reconfigured Big Tymers, which may feature Drake. Lil Wayne had previously said that there was a possibility that the group may return with a new lineup.
The interviewed concluded with brief commentary and freestyles from T.RONE, Lil Chuckee and other members of YMCMB.

Of course, the change in devices owned and used by consumers has a profound impact on millions of other businesses. Big news outlets report that traffic from mobile devices now reaches and exceeds 50% of their overall traffic at certain hours of the day. Facebook is now a mobile company. Latest reports show that 25% of Americans now use their smartphone, not computers, for the majority of their web surfing.
So how has the move to mobile changed your ability to find the right job? In short: Not much…yet.
Yes, there are apps that support searching for jobs, and maybe some of them even let you apply. But in reality, they are just transferring an online (PC) experience to a smaller screen without adapting it to the mobile world. And that is a problem. What works on a big screen doesn't necessarily work on a small screen. The when, where and how you use a smartphone should define the experience of the job search the same way it defines the experience of, say, consuming media. The fact is that no company has done the mobile job search right…yet.
We know that. We are talking about it. For starters, our new website is optimized for being viewed on any device. No more frustrations when you pick up your iPad and look at your job matches. Checking out the competition with Scout on your mobile phone? A breeze! Yet, as I said before, if you truly want to create a mobile experience, you have to re-think how job seekers will use their mobile devices to find the perfect job. Different platforms fulfill different needs. For example:
- Do you have access to your resume on your mobile phone? Probably not.
- Do you want to compose your cover letter on your iPhone 5? Not really.
- Do you have time to construct search queries on the go to get perfect job matches? I doubt it.
Our goal is to create an app that is tailored to your mobile device that you can use on the go. This means that we have to find new solutions to problems already solved on the web.
So while you are reading this, we have a team at TheLadders working hard to come up with new solutions for your mobile needs. We are talking to job seekers, observing how they use their mobile devices and testing paper prototypes with them. It's a new and exciting learning experience for all of us. Every day, we are surprised by the new things we discover, and we question things that we once took for granted. In the end there is one goal: to get the mobile job search right! Stay tuned for more to come.
Ben Grohe is the Head of Product at TheLadders, where he leads development, execution, and product launches to delight the company's more than 6 million job seekers and 67,000 recruiters and employers, alike. When he is not coming up with innovative ideas to delight our customers, he is celebrating his European heritage by cruising the streets of New York City on his Vespa or playing football (the REAL football).

Belichick must have loved watching Denver beat super bowl champion Baltimore last night, with Manning throwing 7 TD passes -two to former Patriot Welker. Welker would still be a Patriot if Belichik EGO didn't get in the way of his clear thinking.
Welkers replacement Danny I can't stay on the field Amendola is injured already and will be questionable with a groin injury for the opening game.
Mark my word Welker will catch over a 100 passes this year and Amendola will catch fewer then 50 and miss at least 4 games. Denver will win the Super bowl and the Pats will lose in the first round.
Brady will miss Welker, Lloyd and Woodhead and the rookie receivers will play like rookies.
All because Belichick has a big EGO and Kraft is looking to save money.
Take care Run

UPDATE: Saturday – 2/16/2013, 9:30pm ET – Police have arrested a man who stole a car from a Metro station and then led police on a brief chase.
Isom Cooper, 49, was arrested at a Van Dorn Street hotel by Fairfax County police. He was charged with auto theft and other charges are possible.
Metro Transit Police say Cooper stole a Pontiac from the Addison Road station in Prince George's County, Md., and then drove across the Wilson Bridge into Virginia.
Police searched for Cooper for several hours after he fled from a shopping center parking lot on Van Dorn Street. Police dogs and helicopters were called in to hunt for Cooper.
EARLIER: Saturday – 2/16/2013, 7:09pm ET – WASHINGTON – The driver of a car stolen from a Prince George's County Metro station led police on a short chase through Alexandria Saturday morning and police are still looking for the driver.
Metro Transit Police say a man stole a car from the Addison Road station in Prince George's County, Md., about 7:10 a.m. Police tracked the vehicle to a shopping center parking lot on Van Dorn Street in Alexandria, Va.
But the man fled from police in the car, abandoning it along a ramp to the Capital Beltway near Van Dorn Street. He then ran on foot, police say.
Virginia police and transit police continue to look for the man. He is described as a black man in his mid to late 40s, weighing about 170 pounds. He has a bald head and facial hair. He was wearing glasses, a black T-shirt and possibly wearing a canvas jacket.
Police say he also has a "growth" on the side of his neck, similar to an Adam's apple.

The News Media & Working Moms
However where The American Prospect presented a balanced, well researched, nuanced examination of the plight of contemporary working moms, the Globe advanced a perilous concept, cloaked in a velvet glove. Though the article lamented the fact that high-earning women are doing more household duties than their husbands (which is clearly troubling, as are the reasons for the disparity), it also advanced this idea without really questioning its validity: That if a spouse earns more money, that spouse should expect to have more power in the family and should be able to opt out of the unpaid household work.
But first, the Prospect's special report, "Mother Load:"
Though this is the same magazine that ran the divisive Linda Hirshman article in late 2005 (the piece that labeled women who scale back or alter their careers for their families as feminist sell-outs), their "Mother Load" package was refreshing and well worth the read. The collection of pieces covered myriad issues related to families and work including:
• An article about how families with working mothers and fathers face more intense career-home conflicts than did previous generations due to an increase in average work hours, while at the same time, the guilt-ridden parents are spending more time parenting. The essay, by Center for Economic and Policy Research economist Heather Boushey, also detailed the penalties women face by dropping out of the paid workforce to care for children and then try to re-enter the job market: "For every two years out of the labor force, a woman's earnings fall by about 10 percent and this 'mommy penalty' does not go away once the kids are grown. Earnings are lower for the rest of a women's working life."
•An examination of how American workplace policies negatively affect families and do not reflect the pressures placed on women who "have streamed into paid employment." The piece by Ellen Bravo, former director of 9to5, made the case that it's in business' bottom-line interests to enact flex-scheduling, paid time off to care for children's illnesses and part-time options that offer "pro-rated benefits, equitable hourly rates and equal access to training and promotional opportunities." If parents aren't distracted by their families and can attend to their needs, Bravo says, they'll be better employees and mothers would have incentives to remain at their jobs.

For many employees, money talks—and they'll consider leaving if the price is right elsewhere. As the economy improves and workers' eyes start to wander toward higher-paying jobs, recent findings suggest that, to keep high performers, employers must do a better job of explaining their compensation philosophies and the value of their total rewards.
A recent survey by HR Solutions International Inc. found that employees often think that peers at other firms earn more, but the reality is that they typically are paid about the same.
"If nothing is said about compensation, people assume the worst," meaning employees perceive they are not being paid fairly, says Ashley Nuese, director of marketing and sales services at Chicago-based HR Solutions. "Organizations should focus on communicating how their philosophies were developed and continuously benchmark their scores on pay satisfaction to remain competitive."
While the vast majority of employers have developed a compensation philosophy, few of their employees are aware of and understand it. And that shroud of secrecy appears to hurt firms.
A compensation philosophy explains the values and objectives guiding compensation policies; which skills the organization rewards; whether the company pays at the median of the market or above or below it; and which types of rewards are available. For instance, the values guiding Hartford Financial Services Group Inc.'s policies include aligning its workforce's interest with its shareholders' interest and linking pay to performance.
In contrast, compensation policies articulate specific details, such as the size of pay increases when employees receive a one-grade promotion. Nine out of 10 companies say they have a compensation philosophy, based on a 2010 survey by the human resources association WorldatWork, and 61 percent say they have a written one. But 42 percent of employers say most—or all—of their employees don't understand the philosophy. Those without written philosophies tend to have high turnover, WorldatWork found.
"You don't have to be the top payer in your industry to retain people," says Kerry Chou, compensation practice leader at Scottsdale, Arizona-based WorldatWork. But helping employees understand why companies pay the way they do helps curtail turnover, he adds.
At minimum, Chou says, a compensation philosophy should explain the organization's desired base pay position compared with the market; the process used to determine salary grades; other types of rewards, such as bonuses and stock; and the name of the person responsible for the administration of pay programs.
"If you're going to communicate to employees about what your pay philosophy is … the communication has to include a little bit more than 'We're a median payer,' " he advises. "An employee could misinterpret that and say, 'They're just paying the median, so I'm going to go work for somebody who pays more.' " Employers instead should place pay in the context of the total compensation package.
At RTI International, a not-for-profit research organization based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, employees can log onto the intranet and read about its compensation philosophy on such matters as salary structure. Employees "know what we do in terms of pricing their jobs and the salary structure that we have," says Kristen Vosburgh, RTI's vice president of compensation and benefits. "The more that you can publicize what you're doing, you're going to lessen people feeling like there are secrets behind the scenes."
American Registry for Internet Numbers, a not-for-profit that manages the distribution of Internet Protocol addresses, formalized its pay strategy nine years ago. "Initially we were so small that, to be quite frank, there was some guesswork," says Mary K. Lee, director of HR and administration. She referred to books, talked to counterparts at other organizations and conducted salary surveys to develop American Registry's philosophy. The company posts a summary of its philosophy online and distributes a handbook that explains everything from pay schedules to the performance-review cycle. But Lee doesn't assume all employees read it and says the company could do a better job of communicating it.
Managers at Hartford Financial receive training about the firm's compensation philosophy so they follow it and can explain it when distributing bonuses or deciding merit increases. On Hartford's intranet, workers also can read explanations of the philosophy, such as why some employees qualify for long-term incentives. The 200-year-old firm adopted its compensation philosophy just six years ago.
Karen Macke, senior vice president of total rewards and HR operations, believes a well-articulated compensation philosophy boosts morale and improves retention of employees. "While they may not agree absolutely with everything that we have," she says, "they understand why and how decisions are being made."

Inside the United States, HR departments continue to grapple with a real estate downturn that has led employees to resist job transfers because they can't sell their homes. Overseas, multinational companies are curbing the costs of expat programs by cutting assignments short, restructuring expat compensation packages and, in some parts of the world, filling positions with local hires instead of relatively more expensive Western employees.
The fallout has reached some of the industry's leading relocation outsourcers, which have reacted by laying off employees, filing for bankruptcy or selling operations. Although the domestic and international relocation issues are very different, they have the same root: a tanking economy that offers fewer options for organizations that need to get their employees from here to there.
Domestic decline
Julie Loubaton knows firsthand how the recession is changing U.S. companies' domestic relocation policies. As director of recruiting and talent management for Consolidated Container Co., Loubaton helps move people for jobs at the Atlanta bottle maker.
Only this year there hasn't been a lot of moving going on. The 3,000-employee private company stopped offering full relocation packages to new hires a while back and trimmed the number of existing employees it moved for transfers or promotions to seven so far this year, down from 10 in 2008 and 18 in 2007. The main reason: People can't sell their homes, and there's only so much cost that Consolidated Container is willing to take on to help.
"A lot of people are having a hard time accepting what their house is valued at," Loubaton says. "They still think they can sell it for X, despite what an agent is telling them. We can't afford to have them try for six months then come to us for more money."
Things have eased up slightly since hitting bottom in the spring. Even so, Loubaton is revising her department's relocation policies to better reflect the times, changes she spent months researching before bringing them to Consolidated Container's executive committee in June for approval.
The situation Consolidated Container faces and the actions it is taking mirror what's happening throughout the country as businesses large and small come to grips with the financial effects of the real estate bust and recession. Nationwide, fewer employees are willing to move for a job. Of 179 companies in a 2009 survey by relocation outsourcer Cartus, 79 percent said employees' resistance to moving increased somewhat or a great deal over the past year. For 94 percent of those, worries over selling an existing home were the main reason.
"People are afraid of losing money or being underwater"—owing more on a mortgage than what they could sell their house for—says Lina Paskevicius, a consulting manager at Cartus. "If they're moving, they're waiting for some official word that the market has bottomed out, so they're renting instead of buying at the new location, where traditionally they'd buy as soon as they got there."
When companies do help employees relocate, they're demanding tougher terms. Thirty-seven percent of 210 companies in a recent poll by Weichert Relocation Resources adopted tighter list-price guidelines or added list-price restrictions to relocation policies for the first time in 2008.
The news isn't all grim. Last year, 40 percent of companies in Weichert's survey added or increased loss-on-sale assistance, making up some portion of the difference between the original purchase price of a transferee's home and its sale price. In the same poll, 34 percent of respondents increased the temporary housing allowance they offered. If a candidate is desirable enough, some companies will even pay a portion of the difference between what a transferee owes on a mortgage and what they can get for their house. "There's no other way to get people to move," Cartus' Paskevicius says.
Consolidated Container, which cranks out 7 million plastic bottles, drums and canisters a day in 65 factories in the U.S. and Mexico, never used to set sales prices for homes of employees who had accepted a transfer. But given the current realities of the residential real estate market, the company revised the policy. Now the company requires that candidates list their home within 105 percent of the average estimated selling price, based on two independent real estate agents' market analyses.
Aware that homes are taking more time to sell, however, Loubaton is extending how long the company will pay temporary living expenses, to three months from two. She's also considering giving employees who sell within 90 days a bonus of 2 percent of the net sales price. "This way if they sell at less than they want we're making up some of the difference, so it's not as big of a hit mentally," Loubaton says.
Halting relocation offers to outside candidates hasn't deterred them from applying for jobs at the bottle maker, which despite the recession is still hiring in its factories and for openings among 450 salaried positions at its Atlanta headquarters. In fact, Loubaton says candidates for management positions—especially junior-level jobs—are willing to do without company help.
"In the old days they'd want a full relocation package. Now they say, 'Don't worry, I'll make it happen if you give me the job,' " she says.
Loubaton uses Primacy, a Memphis, Tennessee-based relocation outsourcer, to perform the actual relocation work. She manages the program, and with so many changes taking place, "I'm on the phone with them five times a week. I'm tracking things weekly for our senior leadership team. I'm more involved than I ever thought I'd be," she says. Like Consolidated Container, more companies are relying on outsourcers to manage relocation programs. Brookfield Global Relocation Services, which merged with GMAC's relocation business in late 2008, found that about one-third of U.S. companies in its 2009 relocation survey use outsourcers to manage their domestic relocation programs. It's the latest function being handed off to outsiders as HR departments economize, says Scott Sullivan, the company's senior vice president.
With housing prices still in the doldrums in many regions and jobless rates continuing to climb, nobody's predicting relocation policies will go back to what they were anytime soon. "Unless there's a turnaround, it's going to be more of the same reluctance to relocate," says Paskevicius, the Cartus consulting manager.
Global changes
To see what's happening to multinationals' global mobility programs, look at China. The country has become a leading expat destination—No. 1 in the world, according to Brookfield Global Relocation Services' 2009 global mobility trends survey—yet remains one of the most challenging destinations for international assignments.
Even in a global recession, China continues to be a manufacturing powerhouse, creating ongoing demand for management jobs, especially middle-manager positions. But assignments there can be tricky. Expats who live in post-Olympics Beijing maintain the city has become every bit as cosmopolitan as Singapore or Hong Kong—with the same high prices.
Other areas of the country are still considered second-, third- or even fourth-tier destinations based on their lack of infrastructure, options for housing and schools, and other Western-style amenities. This makes it difficult to attract expats. Even in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, overcoming the twin barriers of language and culture continue to make assignments tough, according to HR managers, consultants and relocation outsourcers.
With revenue and profits beaten down by the recession, multinationals are curbing mobility expenses in a number of ways: ending expat assignments early, reducing compensation packages and perks, and choosing single employees for international stints over those with families, according to 2009 reports from Brookfield and other global relocation outsourcers.
These days, when expats are called home, their replacements are likely to be local hires whose total compensation can run well below what U.S. or European expats command, according to the reports and accounts from expat HR managers.
All these trends are evident in China, where multinationals are replacing departing expats with their pick of a growing population of foreigners already living in the country. "There was just an expat job fair here a month ago and a couple thousand people were there looking for jobs," says John Lackey, a Beijing-based international HR manager for International SOS.
In more than a decade helping manage expat programs for such multinationals as Goldman Sachs and Microsoft, Lackey has had a bird's-eye view of the changes taking place. He currently oversees HR for 85 expats working in Beijing for International SOS, which provides medical assistance, security services and international health care, including a chain of private medical clinics. The company has a global workforce of 6,000.
Today, about half of International SOS' expat employees in Beijing are traditional expats from 15 countries, including the U.S., Germany and New Zealand; a quarter are local hires; and the balance are expats who rotate through positions on a short-stay basis.
While the total number has remained steady, Lackey predicts more expat positions will be filled by ethnic Chinese transferring from nearby countries or "half pats"—Chinese nationals returning to the country after living elsewhere for a long time.
"An [American] expat with a spouse and two kids making $100,000 a year can run $250,000 to $500,000 in costs, compared to a local hire you can pay $100,000 and that's all you have to pay," Lackey says. "The savings is easily at least half and could be up to 75 percent."
Another attraction of local hires or half pats in China: their ability to fill in-demand middle-manager positions that require business experience and knowledge of language and culture, says Timothy Dwyer, client services director at Expaticore, a New York expatriate payroll outsourcer, and a former global mobility manager at Goldman Sachs and KMPG.
These workers may not be a multinational's perfect candidate. But as cost plays a bigger role in hiring decisions, companies are willing to overlook some deficiencies, especially if candidates accept a hybrid compensation deal that's less than what a traditional expat would expect, Dwyer says.
In addition to using local hires, multinationals are curbing costs of global mobility programs by cutting the length of long-term assignments by a year or more, creating more short-stay assignments of a year or less and sending employees on extended business trips of several weeks or months instead of moving them, says Paskevicius, the consulting manager at Cartus, which in addition to its domestic business also works with multinational clients.
All those changes mean HR managers must look across the globe for available candidates, and more are relying on relocation outsourcers for help. Overall, 38 percent of 180 companies in Brookfield's 2009 survey outsource the management of their global mobility program. Cartus, for example, offers its clients a candidate assessment program that uses performance metrics and other data to pick the best pros- pects for international jobs.
Nevertheless, some organizations' expat program managers prefer to go it alone. Lackey, who has worked with and for relocation outsourcers, acts as his own program administrator because of the flexibility it gives him. Outsourcers "tend to limit services to a fixed menu, whereas I can get a local company to provide services with no limitations," he says. The global recession has put pressure on HR managers to justify how well global mobility programs align with a company's overall business objectives. That means producing more data on the program's operations "and more dialogue between HR and management about the outcome of assignments," says Scott Sullivan, senior vice president at Brookfield Global Relocation Services, which acquired GMAC's mobility division last year.
Those same financial realities have accelerated the demise of companies' once standard practice of doling out cushy expat assignments to junior executives as part of their management training process, says Rebecca Powers, a Mercer global compensation and mobility practice principal.
Companies no longer feel the responsibility. It's now employees who are eager to accept international postings, even in less than top-tier locations. They are also willing to make such moves for pay and benefits packages that are less than what they used to be, "as a way to boost their marketability," Powers says.
