This book was previously titled, Be Excellent at Anything.
The Way We're Working Isn't Working is one of those rare books with the power to profoundly transform the way we work and live.
Demand is exceeding our capacity. The ethic of "more, bigger, faster" exacts a series of silent but pernicious costs at work, undermining our energy, focus, creativity, and passion. Nearly 75 percent of employees around the world feel disengaged at work every day. The Way We're Working Isn't Working offers a groundbreaking approach to reenergizing our lives so we're both more satisfied and more productive—on the job and off.
By integrating multidisciplinary findings from the science of high performance, Tony Schwartz, coauthor of the #1 bestselling The Power of Full Engagement, makes a persuasive case that we're neglecting the four core needs that energize great performance: sustainability (physical); security (emotional); self-expression (mental); and significance (spiritual). Rather than running like computers at high speeds for long periods, we're at our best when we pulse rhythmically between expending and regularly renewing energy across each of our four needs.
Organizations undermine sustainable high performance by forever seeking to get more out of their people. Instead they should seek systematically to meet their four core needs so they're freed, fueled, and inspired to bring the best of themselves to work every day.
Drawing on extensive work with an extra-ordinary range of organizations, among them Google, Ford, Sony, Ernst & Young, Shell, IBM, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Cleveland Clinic, Schwartz creates a road map for a new way of working. At the individual level, he explains how we can build specific rituals into our daily schedules to balance intense effort with regular renewal; offset emotionally draining experiences with practices that fuel resilience; move between a narrow focus on urgent demands and more strategic, creative thinking; and balance a short-term focus on immediate results with a values-driven commitment to serving the greater good. At the organizational level, he outlines new policies, practices, and cultural messages that Schwartz's client companies have adopted.
The Way We're Working Isn't Working offers individuals, leaders, and organizations a highly practical, proven set of strategies to better manage the relentlessly rising demands we all face in an increasingly complex world.

This is one of those rare books that details the wrong ways you're working without making you feel that the situation is hopelessly complex or beyond repair. Tony Schwartz (writing with Jean Gomes and Catherine McCarthy) offers interesting, practical advice to employers and employees alike on how to banish that "gerbil on a treadmill" feeling forever. With case studies from such companies as Ford, Sony and Ernst & Young, as well as helpful charts, graphs and exercises, this highly readable manual will make you think twice about how you and your employees work. Although it mentions lots of insider human resources (HR) methodologies - such as the ones in Gallup's employee engagement surveys - the book never bogs down in jargon. However, the author may need to revise and update it in a few years as the workplace becomes increasingly dependent upon technology. getAbstract suggests this book to frustrated leaders, HR practitioners, overwhelmed employees and anyone who wants more control over his or her working and personal life.
While all of the subjects touched upon are relevant, I felt as though certain topics were better left for others. The entire Physical section felt like it was not Tony's area of expertise. Better to leave the sleep, nutrition and exercise to the experts. The Emotional section put me to sleep. I'm sure others felt it was helpful, but it was not for me. The Mental section was a worthwhile read, especially the discussions on multi-tasking and emails. I didn't get much out of spiritual. My flaw is that I thought more of the book was going to be written around the Self-Expression/Mental section and that was not the case.
Relatively simple truth: energy out requires energy in to maintain balance and replenish the system. Here the author is referring to us humans who repeatedly fail to honor this reality. We work long hours, sleep less, eat more, exercise too much or not at all and so our story goes. We tell ourselves a story about how we aren't human. We are super robots who can survive on 4-5 hours of sleep, live on coffee and sugar, yada yada yada. Packed with research and enough examples to spark recognition in those of us willing to hear his message, Schwartz includes many practical examples of creating changes that enhance our existence and therefore performance in all aspects of life. Helping busy people make changes is what I do; Schwartz has given my clients and I a plethora of data to help battle foolhardy beliefs that have gotten us into obesity, injury, panic and anxiety medications, sleep disorders and disengagement with family and friends. But he doesn't leave us hanging as many such books tend to do. Schwartz reminds us that change can be painful but he also says, "a finish line makes pain tolerable." When we focus on a goal for natural cycles such as 90 minutes, we can finish a report, study for an exam, walk in the sunshine despite the tug to stay at the desk for lunch. Check it out - worth the investment of time to read and implement that which works for you. I'm lovin' these 90 minute cycles!

Marijuana is legal for recreational use in Colorado now, sure, but that doesn't mean that it's legal on the federal level or everywhere else in the country. This caused a dilemma for a family who rented a car in their home state, then drove across the country before they found 1/8 ounce of pot in one of the backseat pockets. [More]

Colorado Lawmakers: Marijuana Edibles Must Look Different Than Regular Foods Even Without Packaging
After taking on the form of brownies, cookies, candy and other normal foods for years, edible marijuana goods must now figure out their own identity in Colorado.

Colorado Florists Offering Pot-Themed Bouquets For Valentine's Day Because Love Is Just So Dank
When it comes to marijuana in Colorado, now that the stuff is legal for recreational purposes, you better believe retailers are trying to lure in all the greenery loving customers it can.

Chipotle's Non-Burrito Pizzeria Concept Expands Eastward

Denver Airport Won't Cater To Pot Tourists, Bans All Marijuana-Themed Souevenirs
So let's say you decided to take a trip and see what all the fuss is about with this marijuana tourism stuff in Colorado (let's hope you were more successful than Maureen Dowd).

You're out of luck. [More]
Colorado Health Officials Pushing To Ban Most Forms Of Edible Marijuana

Colorado Marijuana Regulators Propose Emergency Rule To Clarify Potency Of Pot Edibles
When a New York Times columnist is writing that she hallucinated that she was dead after eating more than the recommended dose of edible marijuana, while other consumers perhaps unused to judging the potency of pot are also complaining about confusing serving sizes, there's a bit of pressure on Colorado regulators to come up with a solution. That's why officials are reportedly prepping an emergency rule that would make it easier to tell how much pot is in edible pot products. [More]
Pouring Acid On An ATM Will Not Get You Access To The Cash Inside
It must be so tempting for the criminally minded to know that there are boxes filled with money on just about every corner of the non-residential areas of this great nation. One man in Colorado had a brilliant scheme to crack open an ATM on the CU-Boulder campus. The only thing he succeeded in doing was injuring a student who later used the ATM. Oh, and destroying the machine. [More]
Hershey Sues Edible Marijuana Maker Over Punny Product Names
We can't imagine anyone with even the most basic grasp of the English language would confuse Hershey's Almond Joy with "Ganja Joy," an edible marijuana product. Nor do we think anyone will mistakenly buy a "Dabby Patty" thinking it's a York peppermint patty. But we don't work for the Hershey legal department, which has sued a Colorado company over punny pot product names that the chocolate goliath believes are too close to its trademarked brands. [More]

Denver Officials Not A Big Fan Of Bring-Your-Own-Pot Colorado Symphony Concerts
What's an organization to do to set itself apart from others trying to raise money?

Now that marijuana is legal in Colorado for recreational use, that doesn't mean necessarily that everyone is sitting around toking on pipes and joints, despite what your imagination has led you to believe.

Colorado's Marijuana Retailers Are Now On The Edge Of A Consumer Privacy Frontier
The right to privacy where you shop is something consumers hold dear, but at the same time, when your favorite stores track your purchases using loyalty rewards programs, they can better market you promotional offers or other discounts.

Panasonic launches mixed bag of high and standard definition camcorders
Panasonic has announced a range of standard and high definition camcorders at CES in Las Vegas.
The three new standard definition camcorders include the top of the range SDR-H85, which can record to HDD and SDXC, SDHC or SD memory card and features an enhanced optical zoom for 78x ultra zoom shooting, an decent 33mm wide-angle setting, and a new Active mode for the Advanced O.I.S that apparently suppresses blur and produces clear images.
The SDR-H85 also gets Intelligent Auto, Intelligent Contrast Control, a Wind Noise Cancellation feature and a 1.9 second quick power-on.
The other two standard-def efforts come in the form of the SDR-T50 and SDR-S50. The T50 is described as "small and light whilst also offering consumers extended recording options" due to its built-in memory. The S50 allows for a slimmer and more compact design though still manages to pack an enhanced optical 78x zoom lens.
Panasonic has also graced us with a quartet of high definition models - the HDC-HS60, TM60, TM55 and SD60 - featuring a 35.7mm wide lens, 35x Intelligent Zoom, newly developed Power O.I.S and face recognition.
The hybrid-type HS60 records onto its 120GB HDD and an SDXC, SDHC, or SD memory card. The twin-memory TM60/55 records onto its 16GB/8GB built-in memory and an SDXC, SDHC, or SD memory card, and the SD60 records onto an SDXC, SDHC, or SD memory card.
The camcorders are said to have an "ultra-compact size" and despite their deficiency in stature all four still get a decent 25x optical zoom.
No word on the release date or pricing for the standard definition models, but you can expect the high def devices to go on sale from February 2010.

This work proposes a subspace approach that regularizes and extracts eigenfeatures from the face image. Eigenspace of the within-class scatter matrix is decomposed into three subspaces: a reliable subspace spanned mainly by the facial variation, an unstable subspace due to noise and finite number of training samples, and a null subspace. Eigenfeatures are regularized differently in these three subspaces based on an eigenspectrum model to alleviate problems of instability, overfitting, or poor generalization. This also enables the discriminant evaluation performed in the whole space. Feature extraction or dimensionality reduction occurs only at the final stage after the discriminant assessment. These efforts facilitate a discriminative and a stable low-dimensional feature representation of the face image. Experiments comparing the proposed approach with some other popular subspace methods on the FERET, ORL, AR, and GT databases show that our method consistently outperforms others.

Children's Gets Its Own Universal Translator
You remember how, on the original Star Trek, Captain Kirk used the Universal Translator to talk to the Gorn? C'mon -- the Gorn, 'member, that giant lizard creature Captain Kirk rassled with on Cestus III during the episode Arena? Yeah, that Gorn. Jeez. Anyway, says here the Universal Translator was created by Ensign Hoshi Sato on the original U.S.S. Enterprise in the late 21st century using the "linguacode matrix," which allowed for "instant translation of well-known Earth languages." But you so knew that already.
Anyway, looks like the future's here today -- at least over at Children's Medical Center Dallas, where, this month, they're introducing a wireless, mobile video conferencing service called MARTTI, which is short for "My Accessible Real-Time Trusted Interpreter." Turns out, Children's is looking to bridge "the ever-increasing language gap" by allowing caregivers and docs to speak through an actual-human interpreter via real-time video conferencing. The MARTTI-heartiers will be fluent in some 150 languages (including American Sign Language) and will be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No word on whether MARTTI speaks Gorn or Klingon, but I bet these people do. --Robert Wilonsky

Abstract. In Science and Spirituality, Michael Ruse attempts to reconcile traditional Christianity and modern science by arguing that Christianity addresses questions that lie beyond the domain of science. I argue that Ruse's solution raises a number of problems that render it unsatisfactory for both the scientist and believer. First, despite his objections to "God of the gaps" arguments, his own strategy for identifying those questions that are beyond the limits of science seems to raise the problem in a new form. Second, what Ruse offers as evidence for the limits of science is better construed as evidence for deep disagreements among scientists and as such does not support his claims about the limits of science. Third, in aiming to establish their independence, Ruse subordinates religion to science. Finally, his support of traditional theology as a mode of religious understanding might cause concern for those who believe that certain kinds of theological reflection are at odds with scientific thinking.

U.S. Border officer fires gun in skirmish
There are 4 comments on the WTVR Richmond story from Jan 31, 2012, titled U.S. Border officer fires gun in skirmish.

I wonder if Napolitano's called in her calvary yet to find the agent didn't have just cause? She's disgusting!
#2 Feb 1, 2012
No doubt they will throw the blame on the Border Agent ~ they always do. If he complains, he will be slapped with the 'race card' the most common tool used by this administration when their position is indefensible. The Agent should get a medal and a bonus for protecting the US from Invasion - and used to train other agents to do likewise.

You would think that after the last incident that they would know it is not a good thing to throw rocks. But crimminals take a lot of chances and many are killed for the money. They know the risks. They at least are not getting taken, tortured and decapitated by the Border Patrol like the rival gangs will do.
I live in Mexico and you have to look over your shoulder and your surroundings at all times. when I come home and I see a car parked within a couple of houses from mine on the street. I drive past and return later before opening the garage door. They wait for you to open it and then they ambush you inside at gunpoint. Very common here.
The funny thing is the people will support these drug dealers and crimminals that are throwing the rocks and selling the drugs. Definetely a different way of life here and a different mind set.

Symbolic interactionism commands its own adherents, meetings, journals, and professional organization. Now it has its own handbook. Reynolds and Herman-Kinney have assembled 44 chapters from 59 scholars to assess the past, present, and future of this key social psychological framework. In this authoritative volume, scholars outline the history of the development of the theory from the time of Cooley, Thomas, and Mead; its various schools and related theoretical models; its key concepts and methods; its relevance to key institutions and substantive areas; and its likely future trends. Together they provide a benchmark that will help shape symbolic interactionist work for the forseeable future. It is a volume that should be on the shelf of all scholars and graduate students in sociology and related social sciences.

Classes, demonstrations and informational booths feature garden design, plant selection, DIY grass removal, irrigation, mulching, pruning, and much more.
Additional information will be posted on our website closer to the date of the event: deserthorticulturalsociety.org

Joshua Tree National Park has been using native plants to restore impacted areas within the park for over 30 years. Seeds are collected within five miles of project locations and used to produce native plant materials in the Park's nursery, called the Center for Arid Lands Restoration. Volunteer groups help with all aspects of the restoration program, including plant propagation, installation of out-planting and vertical mulch treatments, and maintenance of treatments. High levels of recreation use has led to a network of user trails, called "social trails" to access climbing boulders and other features within the park. Efforts are underway to concentrate the impact into designated access trails and to use native plant materials to restore impacts. Other projects have involved highway realignment where native plants displaced by construction activities have been salvaged, temporarily maintained off-site, and re-transplanted in the footprint of disturbance. Out-plantings are maintained with periodic irrigation and protective cages. Despite the many success stories, the restoration program faces tough challenges for the future that the park is working to overcome. Neil Frakes will introduce us to the Center and to some of the success stories it has achieved over the years.
Neil Frakes is the Vegetation Branch Chief in the Division of Resource Management at Joshua Tree National Park. He oversees a variety of vegetation based programs at the park including native plant restoration, invasive plant species management, field botany, climate change monitoring, and rock climbing stewardship. He started at Joshua Tree in July of 2015. He holds a B.A. in Geography and Environmental Studies from Macalester College , and an M.A. in Geography from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Prior to working for the National Park Service, he worked for the U.S. Forest Service in the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program. He grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Birds and Plants: Creating a Backyard Habitat
There are many interesting connections between birds and plants in the desert southwest, and many questions people might have when planning their gardens to attract birds. For instance, how do Phainopeplas differ from typical flycatchers? Which bird species are nectarivores? Should I feed birds? What will happen if you plant Sweet Acacia in your yard? Why should you avoid trimming your palm trees? How can you attract more bird species to your garden? Which bird field guide is the best? These and many other questions will be answered as we explore the various relationships between plants and birds.
Kurt Leuschner is a Professor of Natural Resources at College of the Desert where he teaches courses on Conservation, Entomology, Field Ornithology, Native Plants, and GPS Navigation.

Well, I've gotta have one. lol. I just want a bare bones commander sized 1911. I've been looking at RIA, but I was wondering what other brands have models around $400. Also, I've read that the factory mags aren't that great with RIA. Anyone have any experience with that? What brand of mags work the best?
Just trying to get all my ducks in a row. I'm taking one of my old rifles into the LGS in a few days to put one on layaway.

Do your self a favor and look at the new Ruger SR1911..
It is a few dollars more then $400 but can be found for under $700.
Mine works like a champ and there are tons of GREAT reviews already (Hickock45 for one)

I would go with the RIA for that budget as it's got a proven track record. If it were me, I would save a while and get a Colt.
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
A 1911 is high on my list. I've decided to save for a Kimber. Not sure why but they appear to be well built, reliable, and are very good looking.

I'm headed to the LGS tomorrow to see how much I can get for that rifle, and to see what he has in stock. Hopefully he'll have the perfect gun for me. :D
For not much more money you could have Springfield which would be overall better quality.

JUST what I needed! I am going to make these up in red and use white eyelash thread at the top/cuff and give them out to my friends in sets to use as silverware holders for Christmas gifts. I was going to sew them with red felt, but this is even better as I already have the needed yarn! WOOHOO!
Nov 09, 2010
Doesn't 7.5" x 4.5" seem kinda large to hang on a tree or attach to a present? Maybe using a smaller hook (E maybe) or reducing the stitches per row or the number of rows might help. Also, having just read the article on copyright, making some changes would help there as well. Comments anyone?

If you didn't want to say someone is "inefficient", how would you concisely describe someone who has bad efficiency - badly/poorly efficient doesn't sound quite right, or is this ok?

Inefficient plainly is the most efficient word to use here, but if for some reason you prefer innuendo or euphemism, consider words or phrases like less than perfect, ineffective, fritterer, fiddler, unfocussed, overly meticulous, indirect, wasteful, roundabout.
"Less than efficient" may be appropriate.
As suggested in your comment to @Armen, saying Dan is not very efficient is a perfectly acceptable way (at least in British England) of saying that his efficiency is not very good. (In fact, it's the phrase I immediately thought of when reading your question and before reading the comments I mentioned.)
