Following are five suggestions on conducting an effective reference check:
1. Tell the candidate about your reference check process early on
It's best to tell interviewees at the outset that a reference check will be part of the process. Doing so promotes accuracy and honesty in interviews. It also offers an added benefit: Candidates with weak references or who have problems to hide may choose to weed themselves out early, saving you time and money.
2. Conduct the reference check yourself
Time crunches mean many managers delegate the reference check. This is not a good idea. While your HR department may be excellent, no one knows what you are looking for in an employee as well as you do. A casual remark about a particular work style may reveal something that clashes outright with your department's corporate culture.
3. Pick up the phone
Avoid email. How many times have you misinterpreted the tone or content of an email? In the reference check process, this is a real danger. Enthusiasm is difficult to distinguish in writing. Relying on email also prevents you from noting a reference's hesitation before responding, discomfort with a question and variations in tone — all of which can be telling.
4. Ease into the reference check
It's OK to start by lobbing some softballs ("How long did you work together?") before you get to the heart of things. Even then, pay attention to your wording. For example, "What do you feel Jennifer needs to do to advance her career?" rather than "What were her weaknesses as an employee?" A slightly different turn of phrase may just get your reference to open up more.
5. Consider reviewing social media posts
Checking the job candidate's digital presence may also yield helpful information. Check LinkedIn for any discrepancies between the person's online profile and the resume you were provided. You also might look up any publicly accessible posts on Facebook or Twitter. Additionally, you can use these profiles to see if you share any professional contacts, who might also be good to contact as part of the reference check process.
The person you hire will represent your business and reflect on you as a manager. Instead of regarding the reference check as a mere formality, use it to ensure you make the best decision possible

Treatment benefit or survival of the fittest: what drives the time-dependent decrease in serious infection rates under TNF inhibition and what does this imply for the individual patient?

Objective To examine the risk of serious infection conveyed by tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) inhibitors in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods Data from patients with RA enrolled in the German biologics register RABBIT were used for analysis. Baseline patient characteristics, time-varying risk factors (treatment changes, functional capacity) and selection processes caused by dropout, death or switching to non-anti-TNF treatment were taken into account to estimate the adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRadj) of serious infection during treatment with TNF inhibitors compared with non-biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drug treatment.
Results Data were available on 5044 patients, in whom 392 serious infections occurred. The crude rates of serious infections in patients treated with TNF inhibitors declined over the first 3 years of observation (from 4.8 to 2.2/100 patient-years). This decline was driven by (1) treatment termination or loss to follow-up in patients at increased risk and (2) a risk reduction through decreasing glucocorticoid doses and improvement in function. Adjusted for selection processes and time-varying risk factors, the following parameters assessed at baseline (age, chronic diseases) or at follow-up prior to the infection were significantly associated with an increased risk: age >60 years, chronic lung or renal disease, low functional capacity, history of serious infections, treatment with glucocorticoids (7.5–14 mg/day, IRRadj 2.1 (95% CI 1.4 to 3.2); ≥15 mg/day, IRRadj 4.7 (95% CI 2.4 to 9.4)) and treatment with TNFα inhibitors (IRRadj 1.8 (95% CI 1.2 to 2.7)).
Conclusion Reasons for the decline in infection rates observed at the group level were identified. The results enable expected infection rates to be calculated in individual patients based on their risk profiles.
Funding RABBIT has been supported by an unconditional joint grant from Essex Pharma/MSD (since 2001), Wyeth Pharma/Pfizer (since 2001), Amgen (2003–8), Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (since 2009) and Abbott (since 9/2003).

Dish Network HD or Comcast Cable HD?
Posted 14 April 2006 - 10:33 PM
I'm new to the HD world... I just purchased a Panasonic 50" Plasma TV and I don't know which way to go.
I currently have standard Dish Network for viewing movies. I also have Comcast Cable which is used for viewing local channels regular TV. This all goes in to a Video Distribution Center that allows me to send this to various rooms.
I want to switch everything over to one or the other, but I am not sure which would provide a better picture on the Plasma TV.

HD Dish Network or Comcast Cable HD???
Well just my experience. I bought my HD setup about a year ago, and was on Comcast then. I upgraded to their HD / Digital package. I was disappointed that part of their content was still analog only and looked like crap. I also had a Motorola/DVR set top box, which seemed to regularly drop audio for a second or two every couple of minutes. At the time they had locals in HD which was a big part of trying Comcast's HD. But the audio glitches were enough to drive me away, as well as the price. I switched over to Dish last September I believe, and while suffering a few minor growing pains with the 942, it worked much better than Comcast. Recently Dish added the locals in HD so I've upgraded to the 622, it has a few issues, and I've only had it a few days now. But I am sure they are working hard to resolve them and soon it will be as stable as my 942 was. Other than that check your line of sight will be clear. Any HOA restrictions? My townhouse required some paperwork so I could mount it to the building. While the FCC says we can have dishes, HOA still controls what can be physically attached to their building.
Note/edit: I know you mention you have dish now, but will all content be avail w/o another dish, and I mention the hoa stuff as just a general comment not directed at you but for anyone else reading who has hoa to deal wtih.

Now I am ready to dump Comcast entirely. Their stb's are very buggy, and the price you pay is for very limited HD content. I understand that the ViP's can be buggy also, and the Comcast boxes are to be replaced this fall.
You may have to wait for a few weeks/months to get the ViP though. They are in short supply and high demand. So it seems that they are reserved for existing Dish HD customers or new customers.
If you can manage, I would recommend dish over Comcast.
-More HD content
-Better (in my experience) receivers
-Better value for your dollar
Good luck, keep us posted.
Posted 15 April 2006 - 08:07 AM
Whats the HD channel line-up in your area on Comcast? Some areas offer more HD than others. Do you want movie channels in HD? Many Comcast areas offer HBO/Sho/Starz!/Cinemax in HD. Dish currently only has HBO/Sho. But Dish offers more HD overall.
Do you want a HD-DVR.. or happy enough with a non DVR box? With Comcast that might only be the difference between paying about $5 a month or $10 a month for either of the 2 boxes. With Dish you have to decide if you want to pay a lot upfront for the hardware to have no 18 month programming comitment, or pay much less upfront and have one. The HD-DVR will still set you back 299.00 upfront even with the comittent. About 650.00 without it.
This all might sound pro Comcast and I dont mean it to. Heck I just switched back to Dish myself after having Comcast for a couple years. But my point is, it might take you a lil while to come to a long term decision, so why not grap up a Comcast HD box in the meantime and start watching HD right away. You can always switch over to Dish HD anytime you want.

The biggest plus for Comcast - in my book - are free HD-DVRs. Any number of them. You don't need to put $300 "lease" fee - and that too can get only one.
And local HD channels too - which dish doesn't have for most places. Don't know about yours.

Who has a better picture quality? Both E* and D* do no send the full HD signal, HD Lite is what I have heard it referred to. I do not know if Comcast does the same thing. Alot of Comcast's areas are broadcast all digital, so if we take that part out of the discussion who has the better picture quality?
From what I hear - Comcast. They send full HD (or whatever feed they get !) for both network and local HD. BTW, if you switch from dish (like I did a year back) you can get very good rates.

No they don't. They compressed the hell out of the NY HD feeds.
Posted 24 April 2006 - 08:02 AM
I guess it depends on the area but I think most do. In our area, they have the Motorola 6412 which is a dual tuner HD DVR. There's also a single tuner version.
I didn't think Comcast offered an HD DVR. They don't show one on the web site.

Keep America Beautiful, Ban Verizon From Your Home!
Down With Verizon!
Posted 25 April 2006 - 08:41 AM
As much financial, as a matter of principle. As a relatively new (Dish) customer with no contract, I was miffed about the whole 811-211 upgrade path rigmarole, which was counter to the info about upcoming HD locals and compatibility wiht the 811 that *my* Dish salesperson told me, to make the sale.
While I know I will miss Discovery HD (and to a lesser extent, TNT HD) ... I know that as soon as Comcast finishes their takeover of Adelphia, I'll have those back. And I have no contract with cable, unlike the 18-month'er E* wanted me to sign up for. With Verizon's FIOS on the horizon, and the possibility of CableCard support from two sources and the upcomin Series 3 HD TiVo, no way I wanted to be tied to any contracts!
Quality-wise, it's a wash. HBO/SHO in HD are essentially identical, ESPN & HDNET are better on cable, lHD ocals are better on cable too (but that MAY be because my 811 can't receive them )
Go with whichever is the path of least resistance!
Posted 30 April 2006 - 12:45 PM
Adelphia came over a week after I got the TV and converted me over to Cable. AACCKK!!! Analog was HORRIBLE! Not just on the HDTV...but all my TVs!! DVR did not work...despite several calls to Tech Support (which they said I did not know what I was doing...even though I had an E* DVR for 3 years). HD Content...WHAT HD CONTENT?? A few network shows on Prime time...and Discovery. What little there was was often jerky. And there was never anything on to watch!!
Anyway...I was VERY dissappointed with cable and the call that I was going to make the Dish the day after Cable was installed to cancel Dish Network ended up being the call to get the ViP 622 and install it! It was a very long 4 week wait for ViP622 to be installed...but well worth it. The ViP was installed 2 weeks ago...and the HDTV stuff is great! The SD channels look so much better...and I could not be happier now that I am back with Dish....except that I probably should have got a 50 inch TV vs. the 42 inch.
Posted 05 May 2006 - 06:40 AM
I think when making this decision (cable vs. Dish) people tend to focus on HD content and quality which they should, but also forget about the standard def. channels. You still wind up watching a lot of standard def. programming and I can't imagine thowing an analog signal on my 42" plasma. Since many cable companies still have a percentage of analog only channels, that's exactly what you would get with some of the cable companies. Anyway, just my two cents.

This review is from: EdgeStar Extreme Cool 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner & Heater - Black
Pros: Cooling area = 650 sq ft
Outside ambient (last few weeks) = 75-85F (65-70F night)
Fan setting = full/high/3
AC temperature setting = 69F
Inside ambient = 70F to 74F
(rarely exceeds 75F, which is quite good considering the high ceilings & large area to cover for the unit & proliferation of electronic equipment used in the apt.)
Nice style for an AC unit: black & silver, blue led & blue backlight LCD; does not look out of place beside my pioneer elite plasma & other electronics
Overall: It works well and seems reasonably well made and the remote is nice to have as well.
Cons: a bit noisy, but expected for what it is... think fan noise, air moving sounds, not mechanical or motor sounds...
the vent for cold air is directionally limited, the cold air always has an upward angle of flow which is ok for cooling a room, but it is nice to get some direct air sometimes...
it is a bit louder than window units i've had but other portable units of similar BTU ratings are in the same decibel ballpark...
Other Thoughts: The unit works well enough, but I've not owned other portable AC units to compare. I've had small window units which are intrinsically more efficient designs but don't have the flexibility that the portable unit brings. I have a 650 sqft apartment. It doesn't get very hot in summer but far too hot for me and can be sweltering with all of my PCs & electronics running. This unit keeps up with the demand. It's been in the 80s recently, and my apt is too large for a single AC unit, but rarely gets over 75F in the apartment and usually is cooler. It seems reasonably well made and has good styling (for an AC unit). I'm happy with it so far.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Rosewill RSV-S8 - 8-Bay 2.5" & 3.5" Hot-Swappable RAID Storage Enclosure System Bundled with PCIe Controller Card - 120mm Cooling Fan, Port Multiplier, Tray Design, RAID 0 / 1 / 5 / 10 / 5 + Spare / S
Pros: I have owned this unit for over 2 years now and it is still running strong. The SIL3132 controller is not without it's quirks, however. Still, for around $200 you still cannot find a better cost vs performance ratio. I am debating purchasing a second unit once the hdd prices finally get to pre-Thailand flood prices.
Cons: It was mentioned in another review, but this is IMPORTANT for anyone with WD20EARS drives (WD Caviar Green 2TB 64MB cache): You MUST force these drives to run in sata 1.5Gbps mode!! Use a jumper across pins 5 & 6 for OPT1 setting. You will have instability and ridiculously slow transfer speeds without doing so!
Other Thoughts: I am currently using BIOS 7.7.03 from silicon image's site. (As was already pointed out, it's quite simple and quick to update the BIOS from within Windows 7's device manager.) I don't and have never used the software RAID management as it is rather limited. Just use the RAID built into your OS, all of them have it nowadays.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: TCELL XS USB2.0 Flash Drive - 8GB (Silver)
Pros: Yes, I have only had this in my possession for one day, but I love it. Great gift for a computer nerd. It feels solid which is always a nice surprise in these days of continually increasing levels of outsourced, cheap labor and low quality parts in the battle to be the cheapest and somehow maintain profits. Obviously, this is not the cheapest 8GB drive, but it is one of the coolest I've seen. The LED is a nice bright blue (which happens to match all 3 of my desktop's LEDs).
So for review skimmers:
-Quality case build
-Notches for lanyard attachment which are non intrusive to the design aesthetic
-Solid recommend for nerd gifting (any ex computer building nerd has to have some appreciation for this; my co-workers have already commented about it)
-USB flash drives are still cool...
Cons: choosing a "designer" usb drive means you pay a little more for the same level of true functionality... there are probably even some USB3 drives at this price per GB, but the price premium is still not much considering the solid construction... I have no qualms with the device, itself...
Other Thoughts: If it breaks in the next few months, I will update this review but in my experience, USB drives last a long time if they are not DOA so lets hope this one does not prove to be an exception. This will be my new favorite for daily shuffling of files, so it will see a higher than average amount of wear.READ FULL REVIEW

Skip to comments.Politico's Mike Allen: 'Very Possible' Dems Will Win Back House Majority
Posted on 11/15/2011 4:39:41 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest
Was this sober political analysis, or merely an MSMer pining for the good old days of Speaker Pelosi?
On Morning Joe today, touting a Politico Pelosi puff piece about her "golden touch," Mike Allen claimed it was "very possible" that Democrats would retake the House majority in 2012.
View the video here.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
Politico's Mike Allen claims it's "very possible" Pelosi and Dems will regain House majority in 2012.
It is also "very possible" that my pet goldfish will attend Harvard next semester. Is this allen creature using crack?
We must never underestimate the Stupid Party.
How are his SAT scores?
POLITICO makes no secret about their pro-Democrat positions. They were the initial drivers on the hit pieces on Cain,,their headlines are always slanted to read "Repub bad/Dem Good" and they use sleazy reporting techniques with an abundance of "anonymous" sources. It's really more like The National Enquirer with a political agenda.
I'm betting Mika had an 'organism' when he said this and Joe just nodded his head like an elder statesman.
I'm so glad you watch this show and keep us posted on the stupidity that invariably pops up.
I DVR it but very, very seldom have the stomach to actually view it.
Mucho thanks GLGB.
I'm convinced that are enough stupid people, parasites and illegal aliens in this country who would vote for Obama.
We can't let our guard down. A second term would be the end of America as we know it.
"It is also very possible that my pet goldfish will attend Harvard next semester."
This could quite possibly increase the amount of original thought that goes on in that institution.
Actually this could happen. The dems know we aren't happy about our 2012 Prez choices.
We get stuck with Romney and people will become apathetic and stay home. It could happen.
The down ballot pubbies could lose.
2010 was a great win, but we didn't win the Senate. The dems are using the gridlock to pound pubbies with. They also have the MSM to give them a huge lift.
If we had taken the Senate in 2010, we could lob the lack of cooperation on Obama only because he would have had to veto everything.
About the picture, from his perspective he's tilting to the right.
I think it is dreaming. Hussein is not popular, even though there has been a bit of a jump in his poll numbers. He and the Demonrats "own the economy".
Highly unlikely.
The Politico has an agenda, and it does not give the Republicans a large part in any endeavor.
"...'very possible' Pelosi and Dems will regain House majority in 2012"
Which means, like the defeat of the Nazi war machine in WWII, destroying the sources of supply to that machine, destroying the means by which the machine could deliver its mayhem to the world, and destroying the morale of its leaders and supporters.
We know the rules of engagement. The question is, will we use them to our advantage, or let the other side treat us as patsies?
Politico is proving to be the MSNBC of media organizations.
If the Republicans nominate a loser, then, yes, it is very possible that the DemonRATS will take the House again.
The electorate put Mr. Obama in office in spite of his involvement with Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, associations with Communists, wealth re-distribution rhetoric, his desire for a "national security force" that's just as
well-funded as the military, his "hope and change" campaign where hope and change was never defined.
It seems awfully true that the very same electorate, which was swayed by the press then, will be swayed once again by that very same press.
It might very well be, once again, that adolescent psychotics will be voting for adolescent psychotics and pushing them over the top to power.
I am not among the downtrodden...I recognize the reality that we must be devoted to defeating Hussein. The worst RINO would not be as bad as the commie.
Very possible Mike Allen will get the mental help he needs.
What has Boner done to keep the speakership?
Its the Senate going GOP, Mike.
The GOP won all those State houses and that killed redistricting.

After spending the day in Chicago fundraising, Mitt Romney
sat down with small business owners at Gino's East,
a pizza joint famous for their deep-dish pizza.
In fact, Romney himself tweeted a photo of a
delivery boy heading out with the loot, writing,
"Great deep dish at @ginoseast.
Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team."
Even if the lib lefties sustain a crushing blow they will not go away! Unless the next President can appoint at least two ultraconsevatie SCOTUS and the check and balances made untamperable.
Otherwise, they will weasel their way back in and continue their mission to put the last nail in the coffin that is our Constitutional Republic!
Hopefully not but I havent seen House Republicans do much good with their majority, except a couple of investigations.
Otherwise getting control just allowed Obama to make 'the Republican congress' the bad guy, something that couldnt work for him last year. Now he has all the magic fixes that will fix everything, he just didnt have didnt think of them last year yet.
Republicans better :
A) start fighting back
B) convince voters Obama controls congress, much like Pelosi did with Bush in 2007 and 2008.
"On Morning Joe today" well that answers the question of whether it was pure BS or not. Next thread for me.
They also have the MSM to give them a huge lift.
But! But! But! Some elite few here at FR say the MSM is on a deathwatch!!!
Agree. Look at the recent election in Ohio; the good citizens were given a once in a lifetime opportunity to free themselves from the iron grip of their unions and what do they do? They revoke the very law that gave them control of their government back. Never mind that they're clueless on how they are now going to get their costs under control. To quote the great philosopher Forrest Gump, "stupid is as stupid does". Go figure...
This is the goal of the 'congress sucks' movement going on in the media and among friends on social media. Notice, no one was posting 'congress sucks' posts on Facebook 18 months ago.
If there does become 'a throw the bums out' movement, it will be our people losing seats exclusively, because the Dems pretty much bottomed out last year and mostly only maintained their safe blue seats.
Our side needs to combat this with friends to keep blame where it needs to be...the DC ruling class..not freshman lawmakers.
"It is also very possible that my pet goldfish will attend Harvard next semester. Is this allen creature using crack?"
Is your goldfish a Muslim financed by George Soros?
Thanx. I posted it here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2451468/posts?q=1&;page=201
The first term has been the end of America as we knew it.
It's time that Freepers, Conservatives, Republicans, Independents, etc. refrain visting the Politico web site!!! Politico, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN & ABC are just add-ons delivering the everyday message of the Obama White House and the Democrat National Committee. They are naught but state organs for the collective tyranny and state control that Obama & his illk of total socialists dream about. Americans, you are losing your freedoms with each day that passes and are like sheep being led to the slaughter of your freedom and independence!!!
So what's she going to campaign on?
Most ethical congress evah? Flubbed that up in 2006
PayGo? Failure!
Most transparent congress ? Fail!
What's left?
1. It's not quite possibel to score the 2012 House races yeat, because several states have yet to finish redistricting. Preliminary analysis indicates that dem gerrymandering, primarily in California and Illinois, may yeild the Dems 10+ seats. This is more than offset by the increases in electoral votes that red states received after the 2010 census. Two key states, Florida (+2 seats) and Texas (+4 seats) are still in the mix, but should yield 4-5 new GOP seats. Several blue dog Dems are in serious trouble, so it's probably more likely that the GOP majority in the House will INCREASE.
2. As many here have pointed out, it's not the fact of a GOP House that's important, it's what they actually DO with their majority. I think that the 2012 GOP Hoiuse caucus will be considrably MORE conservative than the current one, and able to exert greater pressure on the leadership. We shall see.
I was about to say that. Never underestimate the capability of the Stupid Party to jerk abject Defeat from the Jaws of Victory!
That man is smoking some good s***.
Oh, I wouldn't bet against your goldfish—given what the Ivy League is graduating these days.
