Why are so many managers in a perpetual state of irritation about their twentysomething employees? More important, why do they keep HR busy rounding up individuals who've repeatedly demonstrated they don't want to be there.
The organizational landscape is relentlessly changing. Twentysomethings who are just passing through companies can't be "seasoned" into management — or even long-term employees. Yet, the managers and senior executives I talk with believe that if HR only did a better job they could recruit and retain more young workers. What a hope! HR doesn't create the talent pool, it merely fishes there. As long as top management dictates that HR must fish in that pool the organization is doomed to frustration and disappointment.
If you knew a particular talent pool contained overwhelming numbers of people who didn't want to work for you wouldn't you look for a different pool? Basic self-preservation would seem to dictate that. But, no! Companies are sure they can find an elixir to make people who don't admire them want to work for them. It's nonsense. Consider the following strategies.
Think short-term. What kind of employees can help the company succeed right now? I know this is heresy. Manpower planners are gasping. So be it. If you'd hire with a five-year window instead of 20 you'd be more successful with less cost. Turnover costs are killing — if companies calculated them correctly. Most don't.
Hire counter-intuitively. The woman who's been at home for 20 years and is now free to work is a bargain. She has twice the enthusiasm, flexibility, and desire to succeed of all but the exceptional twentysomething. Training dollars invested in her will be met with gratitude. When did you last experience gratitude from a young employee?
Charge workers for training. If you're investing $5000 in training ask each employee — not just the young — to sign a contract to stay for a certain number of months. If someone won't sign they are giving you important information — if you listen.
Stop telling yourself — and others — that you have the one true work ethic. All we can agree on is that it's yours. A shocking number of people don't want to be you! I worked with a CEO who would only hire clones of himself. Unfortunately, demographics did its thing and 75 percent of his workforce is over 55. He faces horrific challenges keeping the company going.
Consider ideas you hate. Yes, you read that right. If you don't, you are grabbing a handful of obsolescence. I know someone who still uses a Selectric typewriter. I know people who have rotary dial telephones on purpose! What's the point? Hire people you intuitively dislike and ask what they need and want to be successful. Supply it. Insist that HR fish in other pools.
If your system survives the shock you may find yourself and your organization ahead of the competition who are still doing what you used to do.

No matter who gets Monsignor Farrell's Chris Nistico the ball, the senior striker can turn it into a scoring opportunity.
In Saturday's SIHSSL encounter against McKee/Staten Island Tech, Nistico scored three times on assists from three different teammates to lead the Lions to a 3-1 triumph at Father Capodanno Field in Midland Beach.
With the CHSAA B division playoffs right around the corner, Nistico's Lions are trying to stay game-ready as they wind up their SIHSSL schedule.
"It's good competition and it's an excellent game for us,'' said Farrell coach Mike Leyden. "Games likes this help prepare us for the playoffs. We get to experiment a little bit.''
Farrell wasted little time getting on the scoreboard. Joe Caruana's free kick from about 40 yards out along the right sideline. Caruana's kick hooked toward the left post and just before MSIT netminder Andrew Bennett could get to it, Nistico chipped it over the goalie and just inside the right post three minutes in.
"When (Caruana) lines up for kick, I try to make a run,'' said Nistico. "He did a good job putting it over the sweeper's head and I was able to volley it into the right corner.''
"(Nistico and Caruana) have been playing with each other for years - they always know where each other are going to be,'' added Leyden. "They just have a good connection.''
Fifteen minutes later, Nistico took a feed from Matt Gervasi and closed in on Bennett alone with two defenders in tow. Bennett left his net and did a good job slide kicking the ball away, but Nistico retrieved it along the left endline and scored on a sharp-angle shot to make it 2-0.
Although the Sea Gulls were able to cut their deficit in half midway through the second half when Tommy Uttaro scored on a free kick just outside the right of the box, Nistico answered several minutes later when he took a Anthony Brucato pass and scored on a breakaway to seal the victory.
Farrell's Shan Khan (one save) and Michael DeMarco (two saves) shared time in goal.

Volunteers are getting new food bank off to a good start
The Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank's 501(c)3 tax exempt status application has been filed, and is being processed.
Thanks are due the many volunteers who have worked hard to open the doors of the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank every week. Special thanks should go to Krista Holmberg and Heidi Dukich, who are spending endless hours, without pay so far, reorganizing operations and soliciting funds supporting the food bank. They are very knowledgeable and are working to get the new food bank certified with Northwest Harvest and Food Lifeline. Finally, thanks should go to local congregations acting independently in backing this "from-scratch" endeavor. How well are they doing? United in the effort, about 300 people are already being served each week.
The only goal is to provide for those in need.
Over the years, the citizens of this community have generously donated their money to provide the resources for this purpose. The preaching of religion should not be part of this process.
As of now, the food bank has to pay cash for everything, and can only manage to provide the basics. As a 15-year volunteer and former bookkeeper for the food bank, I know how hard this can be.
All donations are appreciated. Send them to Sno Valley Food Bank, PO Box 1541, North Bend, WA 98045.
Or, go to www.snoqualmievalleyfoodbank.org to make credit card donations. Please note if your name can be published as a Founding Donor.

PLYMOUTH -- The Detroit Red Wings received some good news today when an MRI on center Darren Helm's back revealed no damage.
Helm, who didn't skate today as training camp opened at the Compuware Sports Arena, is day to day.
"I do feel a lot better from the day it happened,'' Helm said. "Hopefully, each day it continuously gets better and I can get back on the ice soon.''
But, he added, "It's hard for me to bend down and touch my toes or pick anything up.''
Helm said he hurt himself last week while doing "easy, light weight squats.''
"It was just weird how it happened; I was warmed up,'' Helm said.
He's had a rough stretch of injuries including several stitches in his face from being hit with a puck during warmups, a sprained MCL, lacerated tendons in his forearm that required surgery and a fractured orbital bone from a deflected puck.
"It's starting to bug me, but I'm staying positive,'' Helm said. "It's got to end sometime, right, this string of bad luck and injuries. I'm hoping this is the last one.''
Said coach Mike Babcock: "We got great news today. The MRI shows nothing. So that's all I was worried about. He'll be back right away. He's got his run (of injuries) out. So it's done, isn't it?"

A split is coming soon!!!
Homey don't play like that no mo. It's a different situation altogether than in the past.
I truly wish this was so, but know the financial people well and they will not see this baby split till it nears 100, which will not be anytime soon. Look to see eratic chart for next few months, break out later in the year or next to 57 and then get out of the way.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Why would Walgreens financial people wait until 100? Could you provide more insight on how they have come to this split point vs. prior historic splits.
Sentiment: Buy
If walgreens follows tradition they will split when the stock price solidifys in the 50's. they already have permission from the sec for the increase in outstanding shares. Walgreens was suppose to split around 2001 for their 100 anniversary. That's whe the economy took a bite in the tush. So if the status quo continues. It will split when it get close to 58 to 60.

BAY CITY, MI — Readers of The Bay City Times and MLive.com are divided on whether the surge of development happening in Bay County will lead to job creation.
Mill End Lofts along Water Street in downtown Bay City is under construction; the Uptown Bay City development recently announced Ann Arbor-based Real Seafood Co. has joined its tenant mix; Monitor Township may be getting a new $4 million Hampton Inn & Suites; and an $8.6 million residential development has been proposed for Bay City's West Side.
Many area business leaders say Bay County's economy is on a rebound and are optimistic about the future.
"There's no doubt about it," said Bay City businessman Paul Rowley, who is developing the 47,000-square-foot, three-story Mill End Lofts project. "If you want to prove that to yourself, go stand on Water Street and look both ways. Certainly we're on a rebound."
But despite those positive signs, Ed Oberski, chief executive officer of Great Lakes Bay Michigan Works, says a stagnant unemployment rate remains an issue of concern for Bay County and the Great Lakes Bay Region.
Bay County's unemployment rate has hovered at or above 8.5 percent since January, according to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. This year's high was 9.7 percent in July and the low was 8.5 percent in April.
We asked readers whether they think job growth will surge as a result of all of that development and the results of the poll were split nearly 50/50:
Will job growth also surge as new developments see completion in Bay County?
- Yes: 49.65 percent (71 votes)
- No: 50.35 percent (72 votes)
Here are some of the comments readers made:
Reader dawnbaycity isn't optimistic:
Reader bcbob says Bay City needs jobs that pay wages people can live on:
How are overpriced condos going to create more jobs? Do we really need more housing? Will it be affordable to the average Bay City citizen? Does this mean we'll get better roads?
I agree that there needs to be much more discussion about the simple use of the word "jobs." Sure, jobs will come. Now, are the jobs ones that a person can raise even a small family on? Low wage jobs are usually the ones created lately. Do the math. Even working a full 40-hour week, no time off, poverty level subsistence. No benefits, no security, no promising future. These jobs are great as a passageway job, but yet are not what a total community needs.
I'm curious how you get new jobs by adding condos? Oh, I forgot about the seafood place. That will add dozens of minimum wage jobs.

The EUR/USD continued to weaken on Monday after last week's lower close. At first it appeared that technical factors may have had to do with the weakness, but over the week-end news broke that problems with Greece may be the issue behind the sell-off.
According to the German magazine Der Spiegel, preliminary findings by the so-called Troika, indicate that Greece's budget shortfall to satisfy international conditions for emergency aid, almost double previous estimates. This means that the country may not be able to receive the next tranche of financial aid from its international creditors if it cannot close its budget gap.
Another potential problem developing that could pressure the Euro is the dispute between Germany's government and the European Commission over when to vote on whether to give Greece more financial aid. Since the two parties cannot agree on a date to settle the matter, investors may have to deal with elevated concerns over the next one to two months. This could be the catalyst behind another sell-off in the Euro.
Compounding the problem for the Euro this morning was a report that showed German business confidence unexpectedly dropped in September, leading to renewed concern that the sovereign debt crisis is hurting the Euro Zone's economy.
The GBP/USD is trading weaker today in sympathy with the falling Euro. Traders are moving money into the safety of the U.S. Dollar, driving the British Pound lower. The Sterling may not fall as hard as the Euro; however, since the Fed's stimulus plan may be weighing on the Greenback. Sterling traders are still holding out hope that the government's austerity plans combined with the Bank of England's asset buyback program will stabilize the economy enough survive the weaker Euro Zone economy.
December Gold is trading higher despite the stronger U.S. Dollar. There is still a strong bid in the market that is preventing a decline. Investors and speculators are holding the metal up in anticipation of another spike to the upside. The crowd that bought gold as a reserve currency seem to have abandoned this strategy since it has failed to break on the rise in the Dollar. If concerns overGreecegrow stronger then this fear could give gold prices a boost.
November Crude Oil is rapidly approaching the psychological $90.00 level. Fears that a slowing global economy will drive down demand are expected to keep pressure on prices. A stronger Dollar is also contributing to the market's bearish tone.

Cindy Rouse Acosta, daughter of Rouse's Supermarkets founder Anthony Rouse, Sr., has this heirloom recipe from her aunt.
"Aunt Anna Mae used to bring stuffed artichokes for Easter, Christmas and the occasional Sunday supper," Acosta writes. "This recipe is meatless, so you can serve it during Lent, and on your St. Joseph's Day."
Cindy Rouse Acosta's Stuffed Artichoke
Makes 2 large artichokes, 2 to 4 servings
2 large artichokes
2 cups Italian bread crumbs
2 cups finely shredded Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
1 medium sweet onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
Cut off the stem of each artichoke to leave a flat base. Turn first artichoke on its side and cut off the top half with a sharp knife. With kitchen shears, snip off the prickly tips from each leaf. Repeat with second artichoke. Soak the artichokes in warm salt water for 15 minutes. Drain upside down on a towel.
While artichokes are draining, in a large, shallow bowl mix bread crumbs, cheese, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cut lemon in half. Squeeze one half of the lemon over the mixture; pour olive oil over it and blend well. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little more olive oil.
Working with one at a time, place artichoke in the center of bread crumb mixture. Stuff each leaf individually, starting from the outside and working your way into the center. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil over each artichoke.
Cut the rest of the lemon in slices. Place one or two slices on top of each artichoke.
Put the artichoke on a piece of foil and fold the foil over the top to loosely seal.
Place the artichokes in a large pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until the leaves are tender about 1-1/2 hours, depending on the size of the artichoke. You may have to add a little water if the water gets too low.

"Rice means life to us in Asia. It has been the cornerstone of our food systems, our languages, our cultures and our livelihoods for thousands of years."
This statement from peoples' movements and NGO's across Asia makes it very clear that the efforts of peasants and supporting civil societies to protect their rice is much more than merely an economic issue. Since traditional rice production is inseparable from the Asian culture, threats to rice are always threats to a whole system of values.
There is a contradiction between traditional agriculture and industrialised agricultural production, based on modern science. The "modern" cultural package came with colonisation; cultures that evolved over thousands of years were wiped out within a few hundred years. The Green Revolution intensified this process of erosion of farmers' wisdom and biodiversity in the rice fields and with the spread of hybrid rice, many traditional rice varieties in Asia were displaced. Subsequently, the knowledge about locally adapted rice cultivation (in harmony with nature and traditional beliefs) disappeared as well. Since hybrid rice is more susceptible to diseases and pests, it requires more pesticide inputs. Pesticides are human and environmental poisons and every year more than 25 million agricultural workers are poisoned by pesticides. The misuse and overuse of pesticides has also created pest resistance to pesticides that has caused huge pest outbreaks resulting in large-scale crop loss.
The introduction of hybrid rice also serves as a springboard to genetically engineered (GE) rice. Far from ´feeding the hungry´, as biotech advocates claim, the real purpose of genetic engineering in rice is to expand monocultures of profit that agribusiness built through the Green Revolution. Here, the possibility of asserting exclusive rights to new seeds by Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), especially patents, promises high profit. Under the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the "Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights" (TRIPS) forces all members to introduce laws on IPRs, with very little option to avoid patents. IPRs threaten the Food Sovereignty of countries and local communities, because they prevent peasants from planting their own seeds.
Research and development is highly dominated by Transnational Corporations (TNCs) like Monsanto and Bayer Crop Science, which are also the worlds' biggest producers of agrochemicals. Hence, it is not surprising that the bulk of research on GE rice is done in the area of herbicide-tolerant rice, which is able to survive the total poisoning of a cultivated field with the corresponding herbicide of the company.
The current process of globalisation and liberalisation has further intensified the control and gains of TNCs and is a threat to Asian farmers. On one hand, Asian countries are forced to open their markets to highly subsidised agricultural imports from the North (due to the WTO's "Agreement on Agriculture" – AoA), while on the other hand, corporate agriculture introduced as part of the Green Revolution is leading to a crisis in agriculture including loss of soil fertility, pest problems due to pest resistance and mounting debts and monopolies. These processes are causing massive bankruptcies and displacement of farmers and agricultural workers. Again the TNCs have gained and are increasingly taking control of natural resources belonging to the farmers.
To counter these impending threats to local knowledge, culture and consumption; and in order to protect the cultural heritage of Asian farmers and communities, PAN AP organised a Task Force Meeting on the "Five Pillars of Rice Wisdom" in February 2003 in Penang to launch an Asia-wide "Save Our Rice" campaign. Since rice has such important political, social, cultural and economic significance to Asians, there was a need to develop a common strategy for the campaign. The main objectives of the campaign are to fight a corporate agricultural system which calls for the massive use of agrochemicals and increasingly, GE seeds; to counter the threats of the WTO and the Agreement on Agriculture to Asian peasants as well as to promote and ensure more support to small-scale, ecological cultivation systems and the related wisdom of Asian peasants.
On the first "Rice Advisory Group Meeting", which took place in June 2005, attended by 30 representatives from grassroots movements and civil society organisations, these objectives were affirmed. Furthermore, a special focus for the campaign on the threats of GE rice, the research policies of IRRI and the dangers of IPRs was set by the group.
Four years since its inception, PAN AP's Save-our-Rice Campaign has provided substantial impact in terms of its policy work, networking, and information support. It has challenged the corporate agenda, and at the same time, gained recognition among network groups via various activities and initiatives. For the coming years, PAN AP with its network partners needs to sustain and intensify its efforts toward building solidarity, raising awareness amongst various sectors, and deepening perspectives and critique on rice-related policies and issues. The campaign will further strengthen its link with PAN AP programmes reinforcing perspectives on crosscutting issues.
The Save Our Rice Campaign focuses on five major areas, known as the Five Pillars of Rice Wisdom:
The "Five Pillars of Rice Wisdom" is a dynamic concept, whereby the five pillars are inter-related and the objectives of each pillar of the campaign can only be achieved in tandem. None of the pillars can develop to perfection without the other pillars. "Rice Wisdom" is not only the overall objective, it is also the necessary process to achieve these objectives.
Rice culture. Rice is an integral part of the way of life and the spirit of Asian peasants and communities. It is more than just the staple food in Asia. For Asians, life without the sustenance of rice is simply unthinkable. To protect rice means also to protect the spirituality of the people, especially women, and to preserve the wisdom of rice culture. Under this pillar, documentation of rice culture, rice celebrations and festivals and a sharing of experiences among rice farmers will take place.
Community Wisdom focuses on the authentic knowledge of the farmers as a counterpoint to the so-called "modern" science systems. Science does not necessarily mean knowledge. Corporate science claims to be sound science and therefore universal and superior to all other knowledge systems. Farmers look at seeds as a very ethical issue, not solely as raw material for agricultural production, and basically women are the ones preserving the seeds. Community wisdom is a concept of farmer-led research, upholding and promoting farmers' knowledge.
Biodiversity-based Ecological Agriculture is a genuine peasant-led initiative that incorporates farmer-to-farmer exchange, the documentation of alternative agricultural projects and a seed conservation network. The objective of this approach is to maintain biodiversity in rice, its quality and soil fertility. This includes alternative and sustainable land use, the cultivating of food crops in an organic manner and aiming towards community self- reliance.
Safe Food means food without poisons i.e. rice production without the utilisation of hazardous technologies such as pesticides and genetic engineering. It also means the rejection of "High Input Varieties" (HIV) and hybrids. Commercial GE rice is supposed to be released in China, soon. Combined with the new possibilities of seeking patents on (genetically-engineered) rice, this will lead to complete control over rice production in Asia. The "Safe Food" pillar encompasses community empowerment, monitoring and documentation of TNC tactics and IRRI's research policy and the documentation of strategies for resistance.
Food Sovereignty is based on the human rights framework and encompasses the rights of people and communities to decide on food and agriculture policies, the right to adequate, culturally appropriate and safe food, the right to land and productive resources, the right to sustainable production and livelihoods and gender justice. This pillar focuses on the threats to the decision-making rights of peoples and communities, i.e. globalisation and particular WTO agreements that supersede local and national decisions on food and agriculture. The topics under this pillar include the agricultural dumping and export subsidies from the North, the rights to land and productive resources, the Convention on Food Sovereignty and the call for alternatives to WTO in agriculture. This will be processed by means of various documentation, impact studies and workshops.
The project strategy is to empower peasant movements, to sharpen analysis and create awareness as well as to campaign and undertake policy advocacy. This will be done by means of holding workshops and conferences, undertaking research and producing documentations, and campaigning. Furthermore, regular communication and consultation processes with partner groups will be maintained. Additionally, a continuous information drive will be guaranteed by the PAN AP webpage on rice, the rice listserve and various fact sheets. Networking within Asia and worldwide will be safeguarded by active participation in networks such as the "East Asian Rice Working Group" (EARWG) or the "Working Group on Agricultural Research" (WGAR). Furthermore, there is co-operation and sharing on rice issues with "Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration" (ETC – Canada), Berne Declaration (Switzerland) and EcoNexus (UK).
The broader goals are:
- For rice to be recognised as one of the most important factors for the formation of Asian societies and rural communities.
- For rice to be produced, owned and controlled by small-scale farmers, who cultivate it in a biodiversity-based ecological manner, related to the wisdom of Asian peasants and communities.
- For rice to be liberated from corporate control through chemical-free, GM-free and patent-free rice cultivation.
- For food sovereignty of Asian rice peasants to be achieved.
There are five main objectives of the project, following the logic of the "Five Pillars of Rice Wisdom".
- To raise awareness about local Asian rice culture among societies and to facilitate a sharing of experiences among rice farmers.
- To highlight farmers' knowledge and community wisdom by encouraging factors such as intuition, spirituality and ethics in rice cultivation.
- To promote chemical-free and productive biodiversity-based ecological agriculture, aiming towards community self-reliance.
- Awareness building among farmers and consumers about the threats that "high input varieties" and genetic engineering will bring to their livelihoods.
- Community empowerment and support of the resistance against the impacts of globalisation and trade liberalisation on Asian rice cultivation.

TRENTON — A judge today refused to lower bail for a city man charged with shooting and killing another man during a dice game in July.
Kevin Boone, 20, was charged after witnesses identified him as the shooter, prosecutors said. Police arrived at the scene on July 19 just after 7:45 p.m. and found David Lewis III lying in a pool of blood in Elba Alley near East Paul Avenue, shot in the head and body.
During a hearing this morning before Superior Court Judge Mark Fleming, Boone's attorney Malaekia Montgomery said her client has a different story.
"My client has indicated that this was not an intentional shooting," Montgomery said.
In a statement to police, Boone admitted that he and Lewis had an ongoing argument, and he claimed that Lewis had threatened to kill him on several occasions, Assistant Prosecutor Lew Korngut said.
Montgomery argued that Boone's bail should be lowered because he has good ties to the community and is not a flight risk. He is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
"He does have family support in his life and he always has," Montgomery said.
Fleming declined to lower Boone's bail, but he removed a condition requiring that he post all cash to be released from jail.
Korngut said a state grand jury will consider next month whether to indict Boone.

|[TowerTalk] OCF mystery?
|VO1HP <email@example.com>
|Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:05:05 +0000
I am using a new Comtek 41130ET 4:1 balun from to build an 80-40-30 OCF dipole as per the data on the W8JI web page regarding ICF dipoles. Primarily to use on those three bands....any other bands that it might work on would be a bonus! I am using 134 ft of #12 electricians solid copper wire (insulated) fed at the 20% point or approx 27ft from one end. The antenna is arranged in Inverted Vee format. The center of the wire is at 52ft and each end is approx 17ft off the ground on posts. Both legs are in approximately the same vertical plane. The balun is suspended in mid air in the antenna leg to the south of my tower and the center of the wire is held up by my tower. After some pruning the wire today the antenna has the following SWR measured on a Drake WH7 wattmeter in my shack....Approx 150ft of 50ohm cable length to the balun from the tx. 3.5 5:1 unacceptable 3.8 5:1 unacceptable 7.0 1:1 wow! 7.1 1.02:1 wow! 10.1 2.2 :1 acceptable 14.1 2:1 acceptable 18.1 4:1 unacceptable 21.1 3:1 acceptable 24.9 1.4 :1 wow! 28.0 1:1 wow! 28.5 1:1 wow! Anyone have any clues as to why the SWR on 3.5 and 3.8 is so high?. The antenna is not useable on that band except for listening. I do not use antenna tuners and expect to operate all resonant atnennas. I expected 80M to be the best band in terms of SWR based on the info on the W8JI website. Could there be an issue with the balun. Why does the dipole appear to match the W8JI info more or less except on 80? Mystified -- Please help Frank VO1HP _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
