Willie Randolph workout day interview
Manager comments on Trachsel, Maddux
By / MLB.com
WILLIE RANDOLPH: No, just play. Win a ballgame and get on back home. Keep it simple. Nothing more than going out and just doing what we have been doing.
Any concerns about Steve pitching after such a long layoff and some of the personal matters that he was dealing with that took him away from the club?
WILLIE RANDOLPH: Nope, not at all. In playoff baseball you know what's at stake, you know what you have to do and it's one game. Go out and gather yourself and prepare yourself and he's ready to go.
Looking forward to him going out there and pitching a gem for us. There's been times this year where he's pitched on long rest and times when he's gone on short rest. So no concerns at all on that.
Obviously they always say the clincher is the toughest one to get. How dangerous is a team that's down 0-2 to the team that has a 2-0 lead?
WILLIE RANDOLPH: Well, we respect the Dodgers. They're always going to be dangerous. They're at home, obviously. I'm sure they will be looking forward to getting back out there so they can get this thing turned around.
But I've always tried to keep it real basic and real simple. We never talk about the opposition in our clubhouse. We don't concern ourselves with that. We have been a good club all year, we have been a team that's taken on all our challenges, so for us it's very simple, one game, go out and win the ballgame, execute, get good pitching, play defense, all the things that are conducive to winning one game and moving on. So when we talk as a team we talk about what we need to do, our approach, our attitude, doing what we need to do to be successful. We can't control what the Dodgers are all about. We know that they're going to they play well here. They're a team that likes to feel the energy of their club at their ballpark, just like we do. The fans are here, I'm sure, they have been great, so we'll just take care of our own business. That's what we have done all year. Don't deviate, don't change, no reason to do that.
Talking with Tom Glavine, talking about how Greg Maddux always makes everybody work for everything they get. Obviously that is something you have done all season, been able to go with a lot of power, going with scratching, clawing, manufacturing runs. How important was that to display that last night in the postseason because sometimes things get a little more tight, showing that you've been able to do what you've done all season that game?
WILLIE RANDOLPH: We talked about what we have to do going into the series. Obviously the big home run, the long ball, it's not something that plays real well in a short series. It can, but for us, we talked about making sure that we made the pitchers work. We put the ball in play. The walks have been huge for us. One of the biggest plays of the game for me yesterday was when Valentin got a walk, Jose eked out a walk too, so we do have an approach and a plan going into each series and first couple games we have done a good job of executing that. Sometimes you take what you get or take what they give you in a short series like this. Sometimes you get a pitcher that you can't do certain things against, so you try to improvise a little bit. But guys are always going to take their hacks and every once in a while you'll hit a mistake and get the big three run home run, which is nice.
But I try to emphasize to this team, before we got here, leading into the last few weeks of the season that we got to approach the game a different way. We have been focusing on these guys doing the little things and that's how we got to try to do it. So we're not going to change from that.
You've got a number of former Dodgers on this team, do you get any sense that coming back here with a chance to clinch against a team that either traded them or let some of them go means something more to guys like Lo Duca, Green, Valentin?
WILLIE RANDOLPH: Well, I haven't talked to them about that and I don't really think -- I think obviously that's a personal thing and I'm sure they want to do well coming back here. Greeny is from this area. So I'm sure there's going to be a little bit more energy from him, as far as excitement in terms of being in front of his family and friends. But, no, we haven't talked about it. But that's something that players deal with individually but I'm sure that it will be a little sweeter, but we still got to play the game.
A guy like Greg Maddux, how much, in your eye, how much do you think he's fallen off from his prime and --
WILLIE RANDOLPH: I think he's still as tough as he's been, man. Geez, I mean he knows how to pitch, obviously. He's a master at pitching, actually. Being able to sink the ball the way he does and mixes his pitches, in and out, up and down. You look at his stuff, there's nothing overpowering, obviously, but he's like Tom Glavine, those guys have a knack for pitching, it's the art of pitching. If you look in the dictionary, that's what you'll see, those kind of guys. He's still tough to me. We will have to make him get the ball up in the zone, obviously, be patient with him, and just hope you get a ball that's not sinking out of the zone. Because he will make you bite and he will feed off your energy.
So we have a nice approach going in on him. We faced him before, we swung the bats pretty well against him last time out so we're not going to change much from that either. But when you look at him, and I faced him when I played, so he might have had a little more velocity back then but not much. His signature obviously is the movement on his sinker. And he's going to always go to his strength and do that to us, so we'll be ready for him.
Is he that old or are you that young?
WILLIE RANDOLPH: It was towards the end of my career. We're both a little long in the tooth but he he's still playing and I'm not, so he probably stays in better shape, of course.
Will the lineup look like Game 1?
WILLIE RANDOLPH: Well, I haven't decided yet. It's going to look very similar. But I'll tell the guys before I tell you guys about what I'm going to do. I haven't talked to the players about who I'm going to put out there, so I'll wait.

My husband and I are planning a long weekend in October to these cities (2 nights each). We'll be staying at the Green Palm Inn in Savannah and the French Quarter Inn in Charleston.
We'll have a car but walkable is preferred. We are interested in local cuisine but nothing too rich or heavy (a la Paula Deen). For dinner we prefer to keep entree prices < $30. For lunch, nothing fancy or expensive, just a quick light meal. Also, do we need to make reservations in advance at any of the suggested places?
Anything else we should not miss while in these cities. We do have tickets for the Fall Tour of Homes and Gardens in Charleston, and would like to do walking or carriage tours of each city.

In Savannah, I like Olde Pink House (though I haven't been in a few years). In Charleston, I enjoyed Slightly North of Broad. Have been wanting to eat at FIG -- maybe next time!
Report Abuse
Slightly North of Broad which is SNOB is a fantastic restaurant IMO and often mentioned by many Fodorites including nobigdeal who just posted. If I ever get back to Charleston SNOB is the # one restaurant I would want to go to as I still remember the wonderful dinner I had there. Do make a reservation. And have a wonderful trip, MFNYC!
Report Abuse
Savannah = The Pink House
Report Abuse
I like Pink House too and ate there several times last fall while working in Savannah.
SNOB is great and they serve lunch on weekdays.
FIG is my current favorite. There are tons of restaurants in Charleston and most of them are great. Look at High Cotton, Magnolia's, 82 Queen, and Amen St. Husk, Carolina's, Cypress, and Mc Crady's are other favorites but they're probably over your budget. Reservations are always a good idea.
SInce you are in Charleston for such a short time, take a carriage ride first thing to get acclimated, then decide where you want to walk. October is lovely. Shop on King Street and enjoy the Battery.
Report Abuse
Ah. Once again. Great minds type at the same time.

Wild Olive in Charleston (there was a recent review) and the Fat Hen - both are slightly out of town headed towards Kiawah. Both were great food! Really Great at Wild Olive! It was my first experience with sweetbreads (yummy)! In downtown Charleston we really liked SNOB and Magnolia's. In Savannah we had a great meal at Elizabeth's on 30, but that was several years ago. Have a great time!
Report Abuse
Elizabeth's on 37th is drivable but not walkable from the historic district.
Report Abuse
Thanks so much! I made my reservation for SNOB. I also requested a reservation on the website for The Olde Pink House. Both look great.
I still have to check out the others mentioned for my other 2 nights.

Husk in Charleston. Here's the menu for the day we were there:

I also made reservations at Elizabeth on 37th in Savannah and Magnolia's in Charleston. Fig and Husk aren't available in the timeframe I wanted.

Mccradys in charleston has very good food.
Report Abuse
At 2nd look at Magnolia menu, I decided it looked a bit too heavy for my tastes (lots of butter, creme, etc mentioned in menu descriptions), so was able to get Fig.
Report Abuse
Just FYI, we loved SNOB and will return, but know that it is small and the tables close together. It's just nice to be prepared...
Report Abuse
If you are looking for lunch options in Savannah consider the SoHo South Cafe or Clary's.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a walking tour with Dirk of Savannah Rambles -
He's the best tour guide I've ever had (and I take tours in most cities I visit). He's been discovered and is highly recommended by the NYTimes, Frugal Traveler and lots of happy visitors. Many of us have returned for our second tour (or more). He's that good. He knows Savannah inside and out and was an architect who worked with the historical association for years. Nice guy too
Report Abuse
Charleston lunch - Hyman's Seafood on Meeting. If someone in your party isn't into seafood, request the deli menu. Place has character and a great selection.
Report Abuse
In Savannah, check out Zunzi's takeout for lunch. It's downtown on Drayton, between Oglethorpe and Broughton St. Try their African iced tea. It's good fun, and not too expensive.
Report Abuse
Just returned from both Charleston and Savannah - great trips except for the humidity
Charleston: Fleetlanding (excellent seafood - very casual); Husks, Hanks, Charleston Grill (excellent service, extensive wine list and great food - more dressy)....Savannah: 700 Drayton (loved the old mansion with music upstairs) and Sapphire Grill - both very good dinners each in their own way of preparing food.....

tenthumbs, it's a great time to visit. King Street is closed to vehicle traffic and there's a tree in the middle of the street. Charleston decorations are traditional ones and they are stunning.
The Parade of boats is on 12/3. Viewing is best from the Mt P side.

Oh, I want to see the Parade of Boats!

We've had a couple of good, casual lunches in Charleston at Cru Cafe (not open Sundays and Mondays) in addition to the suggestions above. I've never been but tons of people rave about Gaulart et Maliclet Cafe: Fast and French on Broad for lunch.

Ate at Olde Pink House in Savannah last month. Lovely place and fine meal overall. Signature dish whole scored flounder was wonderful. Not so with fried green tomatoes appetizer. Very thin and greasy with excess batter. Excellent service. I'd give it a B grade, because at those prices everything should be superb.
Report Abuse
I love Olde Pink House. I ate there several times when I worked in Savannah. Sit at the bar and eat a bunch of those cheese straws.
Fast and French is wonderful, but it can get crowded at lunch with locals. You get a glass of wine with your meal. Yay.
starrs, if you come in spring, I can get us on a shrimp boat for the Blessing of the Fleet.
Report Abuse
Seriously? Let's plan on it.
Report Abuse
It's FUN. We'll do it. It'll be in May, I think.
Report Abuse
Okay. Done.
Report Abuse
I just got back. I was pleased with my restaurant choices overall. Savannah we ate at the Pink House and Elizabeth on 37th. The flounder @ Pink House was excellent. We also were disappointed with our appetizers (calamari and fried artichoke hearts). My issue with both of these places is that I'd expect something really fabulous at that price point (entrees in mid $30s and up). I live in NYC and eat out once or twice a week but rarely venture into places with entrees over $25. I've had some amazing meals at that price, so for a good $10 more per entree I'd expect something extra-ordinary in both quality and service.
In Charleston we ate at FIG and SNOB, both very good, food very fresh and light. Although, FIG had some service hiccups. Everything was slow (getting menus, getting bread, waiting for courses). In fact, it took almost an hour from the time we finished our appetizers to get our main courses. They offered us dessert which we accepted (although otherwise would have skipped). The dessert portions are enormous, so 2 desserts was way too much for 2 people. SNOB was the overall favorite (and cheapest as well, although it would have been the favorite at any price).
All things considered, we enjoyed both cities very much, meals and all. We loved our accommodations as well (Green Palm Inn in Savannah and French Quarter Inn in Charleston).
Report Abuse
I may be passing through those places in a few days so this info is much appreciated. I love to eat!
Report Abuse
Thanks, suewoo! I asked you a question on another post, and I believe you answered it here.........I am SO looking forward to seeing Charleston!

tenthumbs, I did? What was it, lol?
Charleston is an amazing place. Have a great time.

I also vote for Husk and I would also like to suggest Poogan's Porch. They have really great southern food and it's also one of the most haunted places in Charleston.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) --Men face a common problem when they age. According to the American Urological Association, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasion or BPH occurs in over half of all men over 60 years of age. That number grows to 90 percent of men over 85. In this condition, the prostate becomes enlarged. It can complicate the flow of urine by putting pressure on the urethra.
68-year-old Ron Simmons of Woodstock, Va. started having urinary problems 10 years ago.
"Being able to go to the bathroom is a big part of life and you don't realize it until you can't do it," Simmons said.
He had an enlarged prostate. Prescription drugs helped relax the muscle behind his prostate allowing Simmons to empty his bladder. However, his prostate gland continued to grow.
"I was at the absolute maximum of Terazosin and I couldn't take anymore," Simmons said.
Simmons enrolled in a clinical study at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital. A new non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure called Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE), is performed to reduce the prostate.
Interventional Radiologist at Georgetown and the study's principal investigator, Dr. James Spies says the best candidates for PAE are between 50 and 90-years-old.
"The prostate gland also has to be moderately enlarged, but not too large, 50-100 grams," Dr. Spies said.
Simmons was at 97.
Dr. Spies used x-ray guidance to insert a catheter through the artery at the top of Ron's leg. Tiny beads called microspheres were injected into the arteries surrounding the prostate, blocking its blood supply.
"That results in the shrinkage of the prostate gland and in most cases patients' symptoms will be relieved," Dr. Spies said.
Results show PAE could be an effective alternative treatment for men with an enlarged prostate. Dr. Spies says at the moment it is not a replacement for the current standard therapies. Medstar Georgetown is still enrolling participants for the PAE.
Simmons suggests, "Any man that can have PAE over any other procedure, it's a no brainer. You just have to go for it."
View the full list of requirements.
To be considered for the PAE study please call 202-444-6825.

Causeway Funds Commentary - Global Opportunities in Technology
Posted by: Holly LaFon (IP Logged)
Date: April 30, 2014 02:21PM
Technology stocks have presented two related chal- lenges for global value investors: valuation and geo- graphic concentration. Nevertheless, Causeway has found overlooked opportunities in the sector. To shed some light on investing in information technol- ogy (IT) stocks, we spoke to Jamie Doyle, portfolio manager, and Brian Cho, technology research analyst.
Jamie, why is it so difficult to find undervalued in- vestment opportunities in the IT sector?
JD: The valuation challenge is easy to understand. "Interesting" companies—those with enticing tech- nology or rapid growth in new markets that drives income statement momentum and increases margins— are typically priced very aggressively. At times, this enthusiasm reaches extraordinary levels. The technol- ogy boom of the late 1990s is the most memorable incident. Other examples over the last two decades include DRAM memory, personal computers and social media. Currently, equities exposed to "cloud"– based technology, such as Salesforce.com, have reached nosebleed valuations (although some of this appears to be correcting even as we write this in April).
Technology companies with lower valuations generally have perceived structural problems, such as exposures to a legacy business or the commoditization of what was formerly a differentiated product. The current Microsoft Windows-based personal computer market is a great example. PC volumes are declining, probably on a structural basis, and products have become indis- tinguishable.
In general, across all markets, IT stocks that we want to own are often too expensive, and those with reason- able valuations are often struggling to innovate. What is the geographic challenge?
BC: The vast majority of the most innovative tech- nology companies, especially in software and services, are US-domiciled. We all know these names: Amazon, Google, the aforementioned Salesforce.com, as well as hundreds of other perhaps less familiar companies. On the other hand, emerging markets are home to some of the dominant, ultra cost competitive technology providers, including memory and processing semicon- ductor producers, contract manufacturers, and out- sourced labor.
This leaves developed Europe and developed Asia (i.e., the traditional MSCI EAFE Index markets) somewhat stuck in the middle. As of March 31, 2014, IT rep- resented nearly 19% of the S&P 500 Index. It is the single largest sector in the Index, exceeding financials by more than 200 basis points, and growing much more quickly. Analysts forecast that US technology firms will increase earnings nearly 14% over the next three-to- five years, a growth rate 26% higher than the forecast for the financial sector. In contrast, IT represents a mere 4.5% of the EAFE Index. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index has nearly 17% in IT.

Wow. Excellent!
Bought some tea from Verdant Tea and they added in a sample of the Autumn Harvest Laoshan Black for me. It was really excellent – a solid, powerful cup of tea with a really nice broad flavour: a little malty, a little chocolatey too. Not overpowering by any means, just a really solid cup. Excellent flavours. Looks like another Black Tea win for Verdant Teas!

Check out this video. (h/t: Rense)
I heard we had more tornadoes yesterday than we usually do for the entire month of March. What's up with that? Here are some more statistics: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/online/monthly/newm.html. Note that last year the nation saw far more tornadoes than average. Is that natural? I'll admit I don't know enough about statistics to say, but something doesn't pass the smell test for me.
Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe Sidelined by Military Coup

Under the banner of Fata Students Federation (FSF), students across the city organised a rally in support of newly-appointed governor, Shaukatullah Khan, on Saturday.
They also condemned a writ petition filed in the Peshawar High Court (PHC) challenging Khan's appointment on the basis of the 18 amendment, which states that a governor must be a registered voter and resident of the concerned province. However, the amendment does not mention the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), where the governor belongs to.
FSF President Haroon Luqman Afridi led the jubilant students in the march which started from Hashtnagri and culminated in front of the Peshawar Press Club. The students carried banners and placards inscribed with statements condemning the petition against the governor.
Afridi said the tribal people were being kept backward due to a pre-planned conspiracy. He added that the war on terror being carried out on Fata's soil pushed them further into illiteracy and poverty, while the government kept on appointing governors who were unaware of the ordeals of people in the tribal belt.
"Ending military operations and drone attacks in Fata, reopening educational institutes and markets, facilitating the internally displaced and reconstructing homes ruined in the war are pressing matters which need to be addressed immediately," Afridi said.
Fata Lawyers Forum (FLF) President Ijaz Mohmand, General Secretary Taj Mehal Afridi and Samiullah Afridi also participated in the rally. The FLF has already challenged the petition in the PHC.
Addressing students, Taj said the petition was an attempt to exclude the tribal people from playing any meaningful role and to restrict them from becoming a part of mainstream activities in the country. "Shaukatullah Khan does belong to Fata and he knows how to resolve the issues of oppressed tribesmen," he added.
Ijaz, in his speech, alleged there were certain quarters who do not want peace and development in the tribal areas and they are resorting to tactics to try to remove Governor Khan.

Optiphase creates waveform and timing generator instrument using Opal Kelly XEM3001 FPGA module
1 Comment
Opal Kelly, producer of powerful FPGA modules that provide essential device-to-computer interconnect using PCI Express or USB 2.0, today announced that Optiphase has created a PC-controlled Waveform and Timing Generator (WTG) instrument using the Opal Kelly XEM3001 FPGA module mated with a custom adapter PCB (Click Here to see the associated design article).
Optiphase, a leading provider of interferometric fiber optic sensor solutions, created the WTG instrument to support R&D instrument development where fully-custom and fully-embedded solutions are not practical. The WTG Instrument has the functions of a bench-top waveform generator, except it is only controllable from a PC application via a USB connection. In addition to providing features found in a bench-top waveform generator like high-speed standard waveforms (sine, square, triangle, ramp, and saw-tooth), custom waveforms, and 10 MHz reference clock in and out, the WTG also has three low-speed analog outputs, three 5V TTL outputs, two LVDS outputs, and a USB to RS232 interface.
John Dailing, Senior Design Engineer doing PCB, Instrument, and System design and Verliog, LabVIEW, and C programming for Optiphase, wrote the Verilog code for the XEM3001 FPGA, and wrote the PC application that controls the Waveform and Timing Generator module. John has used Opal Kelly modules, with Opal Kelly's powerful FrontPanel software and Software Developers Kit (SDK), for several projects.
"In my career as an electrical engineer, many test and R&D projects have required getting data from custom electronics into a PC or controlling custom electronics via a PC. Opal Kelly's USB FPGA products and FrontPanel SDK have provided the best, most efficient, and most cost effective way of meeting that requirement. The flexibility of the FPGA on Opal Kelly's boards allows me to create any type of interface to match the interface on the custom electronics. Opal Kelly's USB interface provides a convenient connection to the PC with little development effort, since no embedded USB controller development or USB driver development is needed; all that is already provide by Opal Kelly. Also, the USB interface and FrontPanel software allow me to create a very fast interface to the PC," said John Dailing of Optiphase.
The Opal Kelly XEM3001 is an integration module based on a Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA. The XEM3001 utilizes the high transfer rate of USB 2.0 for configuration downloads, enabling an almost instant reprogramming of the FPGA. The entry-level XEM3001 has recently been upgraded by Opal Kelly to the XEM6001, an FPGA integration module based on the powerful Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA, now available at the Opal Kelly online store.
"The Optiphase project is a concrete illustration of the role Opal Kelly modules play in many engineering design firms," said Jake Janovetz, President of Opal Kelly. "We appreciate John's creating and sharing his WTG design project with other engineers on our website and encourage others to do the same."

As plans for 533 dwelling units on 105 acres in Mountain Green proceed, residents want to see room for a future interstate exchange that is now missing from the developer's proposed master plan for the Mountain Green Village Planned Unit Development. However, some say reserving land indefinitely for a future right of way is not feasible. I was shocked not to see the interchange on this plan, said resident Cameron Russell. In the future there will be a need for a proper interchange. Our spirits are doubtful we will get the interchange, a connection for a potential interchange to I-84, said Charlie Ewert, county planning and building division department director. With cost estimates from $30 million to $50 million, and space restraints due to the Weber River and railroad line, the project would be an expensive one that is not high on UDOT's priority lists. Some estimates put the project at least 20 years out. A prior iteration showed access to an interchange, said Jody Burnett, an attorney retained by Morgan County. We sent the message we don't think we can realistically make that happen. They changed it to eliminate that. It was not our intent to put in a master plan that flew in the face of the (Mountain Green) area plan, said Bruce Baird, legal counsel for developer Dewayne Johnson. Because the county knew the price and time frame, it didn't make sense to keep it, so we took it off. Nobody believes it is likely to happen in this decade. Burnett called it a conundrum and difficult challenge. I have to say candidly, we can't just ask an applicant to preserve a corridor indefinitely and not develop their property. If we restrict what the property can do, that would be a taking, County Councilman Lyle Nelson said. Securing a full right of way through Johnson's property would mean the county would have to enter into negotiations with three other property owners as well, Burnett said. It is a complicated issue with a lot of moving parts, he said. I don't doubt the need, but it becomes a challenge of the chicken or the egg of preserving that corridor. County Councilwoman Tina Kelley said the county has other options than securing a right of way from the developer, Dewayne Johnson. For example, Baxter Enterprises owning land to the east of the proposed development has expressed willingness to providing a right of way. However, securing such rights of way could include the county having to pay for it. Kelley said the county doesn't have the money to purchase it. You can't ask them to hold that ground indefinitely, she said. While an interchange may not happen in the immediate future, the developer is planning on reserving 40 feet of frontage along Old Highway Road in case the road needs to be widened in the future. Resident Carl Abbott, who lives near the proposed development on Old Highway Road, doesn't like the idea of widening the road. That is a colossal failure for some of us to lose our house or yard to the widening of the road, so that skiers can get to Trappers Loop quicker, said Abbott, who has lived in the county for almost four years. Residents in the area say that traffic in the area is already a problem, and failing to plan for ways to accommodate more traffic created by the project is unwise. I am here to plead with you to please help us designate a corridor now (for a future interchange), said resident Carol Ralphs. Find a way to designate it now so that when the need and demand arises, we as a county are prepared. We don't want to have such a huge danger to our community. Despite traffic studies conducted by both Snowbasin and Morgan County in 2011 and 2012 that claim future development would pose no traffic hazards to the existing Old Highway Road, residents living along the road claim traffic is already bad. Old Highway Road is an unsafe condition, said Abe Murdock, who lives north of the proposed development. I have almost been hit by traffic. This traffic issue is bigger than some of you realize. Traffic on Old Highway is a problem, said John Bearnson, who has a business in the Mountain Green industrial park and is building a home in the area. Snowbasin is getting busy up there. We are not trying to fight (the developer), said resident Dixie Munsee. I hope we can all work together to make it a safe and wonderful place it has been for years. Because rooftops don't pay for county services and school-related costs, many on the county council wanted a way to require commercial development go in before or in certain relationship to new residential development. I appreciate they have some commercial in this, but what happens if they decide to scrap that? asked Councilman Robert Kilmer. Developers get their money and they are gone. They don't pay for new roads, or to repair and maintain the roads for increased use. Burnett said there is no way to mandate the timing of residential and commercial development, other than to say that commercially zoned areas must be developed commercially instead of as residential units. Nelson said business other than retail makes sense in the area. However, the developer wants the development agreement to allow wiggle room for market conditions and demand. Plans include room for a hotel, but the agreement contemplates allowing the hotel parcel to revert to other commercial uses in case a hotel cannot be secured within about three years. The developer is making final touches on the master development agreement, at more than 50 pages, with the county. The item may be on the May 21 council agenda. One provision of the agreement includes the developer paying for a contract county employee to provide for the project's timely approvals. It would be well worth consideration to allow that to happen, Ewert said. I strongly advocate we get someone on line to provide for the platting review of this project so it doesn't cause undue burden through our office. Despite the planning commission's desire to require secondary water for the subdivision, county code doesn't require it so it can't be mandated, Ewert said. Abbott, who does not have secondary water at his residence, said residents in the new subdivision should pay at the meter like those of us already in the area have to. Bart Smith said the Highlands Water Company drilled a new well in the area of the proposed development. The well produces 1,200 gallons a minute and would be sufficient to provide water to the development, up to 1,000 new units. Water is not really an issue when it comes to this plan, Smith said. We haven't used the well yet. The development agreement will also include development standards that may allow for varying setbacks and architectural designs. Such standards would allow for building closer to the road and putting parking in the back, similar to standards identified by a Design Assistance Team that studied and made land planning recommendations of the Mountain Green area years ago.

I haven't appreciated Bud or Coors Light since I was a young college age drunk but now I have become a dark beer lover. I like the IPA beers too but this one particular beer has become my mainstay for some time now. Today I also got a chance to try Sam Adams Black Lager.. Anyone else find one of these two beers a favorite?

Thank you so very much with all this information. I do not have a an ancestry. com account so I may not ever came across this information any time soon. I am starting to think I need to get one. I really appreciate this information. I will try to find their obituaries but I was only looking around Washington state (where Marvin was born) . My next step is to now see if I can find any if any kids of his. Thank again.

This is going to be my first year wintersowing so I have a few questions... :) I'd like to hear what everyone thinks about them.
First, I'm going to be doing my sowing in an unheated greenhouse so I thought I shouldn't cover my containers to avoid baking the seeds....Does this sound right?
Second, I've got a few seeds like Heliotrope, and Celosias which are rated as having no frost tolerance...Any successes?
And thrid, I need advice on WSing Pelargonium(annual geranium)
Steve :)
A few wintersowing questions
This is going to be my first year wintersowing so I have a few questions... :) I'd like to hear what everyone thinks about them.
Steve: So you are going to place your containers in a greenhouse? Actually, that is not what winter sowing is. Winter sowing involves placing the containers outside, exposed to the elements, in vented, covered containers. I'm not saying that a greenhouse doesn't work, it's just not winter sowing.
I'm sorry that I can't help with your questions. Maybe you'd like to try it and leave a few outdoors in the snow. You don't have to water until spring; the snow and rain do that for you. And no damping off! We're a friendly bunch, would love to have you aboard.
I WS in unheated greenhouse and still call it winter sewing. I use to sew outside but critters,wild and domestic tromped thur my flats and displaced seeds from one tray to the next,knocked flats over or off benches and my seeds and soil doesn't get pounded out of the containers in heavy storms. I even had armadillos dig out 2-3 dz.gal. pots of baptisia one year,that I had outside.
I'm in Ark.zone 8 so I don't cover my seed containers but since winter sewn seeds are meant to be expose to the elliments I would say you don't have to either.
Thanks, Karen and bigred for your replies. When I think about it, I don't even know if I could call it winter sowing if I stuck the seeds out in the elements....Cause we've got next to no snow! We've only been getting light dustings as of yesterday. The ground isn't even frozen.....
I think I'll still stick my seeds in the greenhouse otherwise I'll have to contend with the Squirrels and Racoons.........and myself getting frustrated....
Does anyone put chicken grit on top of the soil? I know I did this with seedlings inside, because they deter fungus gnats. Is that not a problem for winter sowing?
Hi Nikki, as far as I've heard thats not a problem with wintersowing.
But hopefully someone will come along who knows more.....
Nikki, I've never had a fungus gnat infestation with wintersown containers (at least not in the 2 years I've tried this method, LOL)... I think they are mainly an issue for indoor or greenhouse seedlings. On the other hand, I don't think chicken grit would be bad in any way for WS containers... if your indoor seedlings can push through a layer of it, so can your outdoor ones.
I asked the question then had to do a lot of family stuff, I'm just getting back! I put the grit in 5 containers, I'll leave the others, and I'll have something to compare to. Hopefully not harm done.
Maybe this is a strange question..............but whats chicken grit???
It's crushed oyster shells, used to give with feed for chickens to help them digest in their gizzard. For fungus gnats, the sharp edges is supposed to deter little buggies in the muggy air.
Ahh, thanks Nikki.
It has been suggested for rooted cuttings, so I figured I would ask about seedlings. I had a bit of a problem when I sowed indoors. I've never done winter sowing until this year.
It is also available in the form of crushed granite, which won't affect the Ph. But I can't find any anywhere near to me in either form (nikki_conway, have you found a source?).
I got mine from the local feed store. I'm not sure where to order online.
This one is on Frederick Rd. and St. John's.
Some folks use diatomaceous earth sprinkled on the soil surface (or set out in small trays moistened with water to serve as traps?) to deter fungus gnats. DE is made up of silicon "skeletons" of diatoms (tiny plankton critters), so it feels like talcum to me but more like powdered sharp glass to little pests.
You can get DE at the garden center, but if you need it in quantity or more cheaply, try a pool supply store (it's used in filters).
I have that too, I don't know why I didn't think to put it on the seedlings......Thanks

My name is Scott King. I'm a Mac Fan and collector of all things Apple. My Favorite Apple is a place I keep my collecting resources, pics, videos and notes about Mac computers and Apple memorabilia.
The other reason for My Favorite Apple is for you- the Apple fan. I'm not trying to sell anything and my site is not an e-commerce site, instead it is for those who enjoy collecting and learning about all the vintage products made by Apple. The particular focus of my collection, and consequently the information here, is their products and machines from the 1980s and 1990s. I particularly love anything with their vintage multi-colored apple logo, as you will see.
As I find things that pique my interest and are helpful to us as collectors, I'll add them here in my notebook. In the past, I've tried tons of apps, bookmarking, saving to folders and other things for organizing this information, but without success. So, what better way to get organized than to create an online Mac collecting notebook.
I don't know code or how to fix an old computer- and don't want to, but I do like the older Mac machines and related Apple memorabilia. I also love all their cool new machines and use those everyday.
I enjoy finding products and machines representing the early days of Apple. Steve Jobs was my hero- a visionary rebel. His goal for Apple was to make computing personal, and we can all agree he did. I am fascinated with Apple's attempts at also making computing portable, beginning with the IIc and the Apple Portable. Steve even foresaw the iPad 30 years before the technology existed to make it.
You won't find overly technical talk or dry Machine specs here; there are great resources I'll add or link to for that. My Favorite Apple is my personal notebook as I go about this fun and rewarding hobby of collecting all things Apple.
Feel free to contact me. I enjoy meeting collectors and sharing in their Apple passion too. And, if you are on Pinterest, then come follow my Apple and Steve Jobs boards.

Veseys Home » Store » Vegetable Seed » Radish
Tips: Radishes like constant moisture. The faster they grow, the better the flavour. Sow seeds thinly, at least ½" deep and firm soil. Rows should be 12-18 inches apart. Radish adapt well to wide row planting (where 2 or 3 rows are planted together) to save space. Small successive sowings made about every 5-7 days will keep a constant supply of fresh radish available throughout the entire growing season.

OSCEOLA ELEMENTARY School Principal Nancy Little comforts teacher Diane Burton as Burton talks about Avez Dames, 10. Dames was in Burton's fifth grade class at Osceola, but died in a car wreck near Gainesville on Dec. 24. Faculty and students have had a difficult time coping with the death.
By JUSTIN YURKANIN, Staff Teachers at Osceola Elementary School are holding two seats vacant, one as a memorial, and the other for a child they hope will return.
Fifth grade began as usual last Monday morning, but when the principal called Diane Burton to her office, the day took a drastic turn.
"I have 21 now," Burton paused. "With Avez it was 22."
Burton is a teacher at the school, a school that has taken the tragedy as a life lesson. Students are understanding death, learning respect and attaining the values of reaching out to help others.
When students, teachers and faculty returned from holiday vacation, they were shocked by tragic accidents. Avez Dames, 10, a fifth grade student, died in a car accident near Gainesville on Christmas Eve. Shannon Gaughan, 11, a fourth grader, remains in critical condition at Shands Jacksonville hospital from a New Year's Eve car accident near the World Golf Village.

AVEZ DAMES, 10, was a fifth grade student at Osceola Elementary School when she was killed in a car crash on Christmas Eve.
Contributed Photo
In both accidents, the vehicles spun out of control and hit the guardrails on a highway. Both families were traveling and the girls were not wearing seat belts. Avez was ejected from the vehicle. Shannon was thrown around inside the vehicle.
Respect is a theme at the school for January. Since the accidents, children are learning how to respect someone who has died or been injured.
To remember Avez, students made posters about her to hang in the school's entrance and placed a memorial box with letters from classmates in the front office.
On Fridays, teachers donate a dollar to be able to wear jeans to school. Last Friday, that money went into the donation jar for Avez's family. Children, too, emptied their savings for Avez's family. Pennies dropped to the bottom of the jar as one fifth grader added her collection to help the family of her classmate.
Last week at a Character Counts lesson, a student pulled Avez's name and the word responsible from the box. Names of students who have demonstrated one of the six traits the school focuses on are added to the box. The card was put in before she died.

It meant someone had caught Avez being responsible.
"That was a daily trait for her," said assistant principal Brian McElhone.
Fourth graders are certain that Shannon will come back. They just want to know when it will be. They made her cards and saved her desk. Each day they check on her condition.
Girls were friends
Avez and Shannon used to walk to school together from Whispering Pines, an apartment complex near the school. Avez had been an Osceola student since second grade. Shannon arrived in October.

A POSTER memorializing Avez Dames hangs in the hallway at Osceola Elementary School. The poster was made by Dames' fifth grade class.
Janet Whelan, a fourth grade teacher, had Avez in her class last year. This year, she has Shannon.
"It's unbelievable that this happened within our school," Whelan said.
Avez had the most accelerated reader points in her class.
"She had so much promise," Whelan said. She remembers her as an outgoing child who accepted everyone.
The loss of Avez was a devastating shock, Whelan said. But the class is hopeful for Shannon, a girl she describes as quiet and shy.
Healing often happens in five stages:
1. Denial. It may last a few moments or indefinitely.
2. Anger. This may be turned toward the world, yourself or even the person whose loss you are grieving.
3. Bargaining. You may relive the event, somehow feeling that you must make up for the loss or that if you had done something differently it wouldn't have happened. There may be a sense of guilt.4. Depression. A feeling of hopelessness may set in as you realize that the loss is final and nothing you can do will change it.
5. Acceptance. In this final stage of grieving, you accept the loss and move on with your life.
Each stage of grief seems to be necessary to complete healing. How long each stage lasts depends on the nature of the loss and your reaction to it, but the odds are that sooner or later you will reach acceptance.
Talk about your feelings to those you trust. Write or talk about the loss and pain and the good times you shared with the person whose loss you mourn. Allow yourself to cry or be angry. Try not to place blame on yourself or others for what happened. Above all, allow yourself time to heal.

"Shannon's just the sweetest little girl, happy to be here, pleasant, very caring," Whelan said.
When the class moved their desks around, they were sure to save a seat for Shannon.
Burton's students were not given the same chance for hope. They know Avez will not return.
Instead, they are doing everything they can think of to make sure her memory stays alive.
"She had the most beautiful smile," Burton said.
Avez was an exemplary, straight-A student, the fastest runner in the school, a dancer and an avid reader.
Students want to plant a tree in her honor. Name plates are being made for books donated in her memory. Some students are practicing one of her dances that they will put on for the fifth grade graduation.
The class decided to leave her desk the way it is. "There's such a huge gap in the class," Burton said. "It just can't be filled."
Avez was a leader, said assistant principal McElhone.
He took a group of about 30 fifth-graders to a Jaguars football game recently.
"She had her whole row dancing," he smiled at the memory.
Teachers and faculty said Avez taught them how to live. She was never afraid of anything.
News shocked school
McElhone, school guidance counselor Dana Harrison and the principal Nancy Little make daily checks on the fifth grade.
Students use recess or whenever necessary to visit Harrison and talk about what happened.
"It was real sobering the first few days when everyone heard the news," Harrison said.
Teachers knew about Shannon because of news reports, but they had not heard about Avez because the accident happened in Gainesville.
They learned about her death when a fifth grade boy began to cry about his friend.
Action has eased grief
The active role the students have taken to help has eased the grief, Harrison said.
Students are staying busy and doing what they can to show they cared.
"All the kids have ideas for how they want to memorialize Avez," McElhone said.
The whole school was affected by the loss. Avez has twin sisters in kindergarten, Amie and Amber Dames, 5, whom she used to walk to class.
Monday a letter went home to all the parents about the two accidents.
Avez's mom has had to miss work to drive to Gainesville. Marvette Dames, 16, Avez's older sister, was hospitalized for serious injuries after the accident.
The school is trying to help with hospital bills, funeral expenses and daily stresses. Anyone wishing to contribute may call or visit Osceola Elementary School.
Shannon's family is also suffering from loss and dealing with hospital bills. Her older brother, James Gaughan, 17, died in the car accident.
A fund for the family has been set up at Prosperity Bank and Bank of America.
"I've never seen such pulling together," Principal Little said. "It'd be a lot rougher if there wasn't so much support."

I want to thank Kasey Mathews, Author of Preemie: Lessons in Love, Life, and Motherhood for tagging me on adding my post to the "Next Big Thing Blog Hop". It's a great way for authors with blogs to connect their stories together online. Kasey has been an inspiration in so many ways and I am so happy to have found her and learned more about her own story. Be sure to check out her blog and book at kaseymathews.com. I hope this gives you more insight into my book!
What is your working title of your book?
Changed by Chance…Champion by Choice
Where did the idea come from for the book?
The book details actual events of my life. During a period of 5 tumultuous years, I was faced with several instances of life altering and life threatening events.
What genre does your book fall under?
I'd categorize it as a new age inspirational story because of several "angel moments" & serendipitous events that occurred.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Me – Anne Hathaway, because she exudes the all American girl type – pretty but practical; personable and smart; but most important – believable.
My husband Jim – Ed Norton would best portray him with similar looks and also a sense of seriousness and sensitivity that the role requires.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
A true, heart wrenching story with practical advice about how to triumph over tragedy to survive.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
It would be nice to have the clout of a publisher, but I'll do whatever it takes to get it published. I am seeking a literary agent to represent me now.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
It was my New Year's resolution for 2012 so I began writing in January. I finished the last draft at Thanksgiving. Because it is a memoir with lots of real life drama, I did not have to create a plot or characters. It was all there in my head for the telling.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
Although it is fiction, Steel Magnolias (I love that title). But, in my story the leading lady lives. Similar to Steel Magnolias, it is easy to envision the book as a powerful and dramatic movie.
Who or what inspired you to write this book?
I'd like to share the story of my life's struggles with the expectation that it may help others faced with similar challenges. My goal would be to enlighten readers to see and understand the heartache and emotions of these situations and to know that they can fight and be victorious. Although it may sound trite, sharing my experiences will offer me closure.
What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
Reality TV is so popular now and this is a reality book. It gives readers a glimpse into the real life of a typical woman and her family and how they react to the unexpected cruel twists of fate. The fact that so many events occurred to us in such rapid succession is highly unusual. It makes the book hard to put down.

Here is a New York Times story about broccoli, or rather, about what broccoli has to do with the constitutionality of ObamaCare. The following three propositions are logically inconsistent:
- If ObamaCare's individual mandate is constitutional, then a law that requires Americans to buy broccoli is constitutional.
- A law that requires Americans to buy broccoli is unconstitutional.
- ObamaCare's individual mandate is constitutional.
Any two of these propositions entail the falsity of the third. Everyone, therefore, must reject at least one of the three propositions. I reject 3. Paul Krugman, evidently, rejects 1. Erwin Chemerinsky, evidently, rejects 2. Charles Fried rejects 2.

Can the Momemtum continue
Momentum can take another step towards winning this year's "Triple Crown" and follow in the footsteps of California Chrome which has already won two legs of the American Triple Crown.
From the look of it, Momentum has an easier task than California Chrome if form is important. The John O'Brien trained colt Momentum won the the first Classic of the local racing Triple Crown – the NLCB Easter Guineas - over 1,800 metres on the main track from Spitfire which is not in the event.
Champion trainer O'Brien has won this race on six occasions in the past 16 years and it will take a very good performance by one of his rivals to keep the unbeaten Momemtum from winning.
Earlier this year, Momentum beat older horses and then won the Flamingo Stakes, impressively by 7 1/2 lengths from stablemate High Octane and Justcalmebas en-route to winning the Guineas.
The only question mark that racing pundits are asking is if he will stay the extra distance stoutly. Be that as it may, the favourite Momemtum is better than his rivals and his undoubted class will suffice.
O'Brien is a very shrewd trainer and is certain that his ability will see him past the line first. In my opinion a cut above our local three-year-olds and it is only the improving Cramer's Rule which may offer the sternest opposition.
The million bonus on offer will only see Momentum tested on Champion Day.

The ElCel Technology Canonical XML Processor is a powerful command-line utility built
using the SAX 2.0 interface of OpenTop.
It implements the canonicalization algorithm as described by the W3C's
Canonical XML recommendation. It also
implements the original Canonical XML specification from James Clark.
This is a very useful program for converting valid XML with a DTD into a standalone
document. It is also used to check the conformance of our XML Toolkit against the
OASIS/NIST conformance tests.
Another common use is the pre-processing of complex XML before
feeding the simplified canonical output to other tools. This is
particularly useful when you require entity resolution using an XML catalog or
the XML file is encoded in a format not understood by the other tool.

Rosa Javier was hesitant to celebrate when police phoned to say her husband and nephew survived three weeks adrift in the Caribbean Sea, while all the other 49 voyagers are assumed dead.
"I feel some relief, but so many lives were lost," said Javier, whose 19-year-old nephew Reynaldo Ramirez and husband Diomito Rodriguez had set off from the Dominican Republic Nov. 13 in search of higher-paying jobs in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
Dominican officials continued searching Saturday for the missing migrants in waters just south of Haiti's coast, where the boat was found adrift Friday morning.
On Friday, two fishermen said they found the survivors, naked and only able to pronounce a few words before passing out.
Rodriguez and Ramirez were being treated Saturday for severe dehydration and burns. Authorities were waiting to talk with them once their health improved.
Javier said her nephew and husband were making their first trip abroad, hoping to escape the poverty that afflicts a fourth of the people in the country of 9.5 million.
"He told me he wanted to do something, to be someone," she said of her husband. "I told him not to leave."
The survivors are from San Francisco de Macoris, an agricultural hub that produces the majority of the country's rice.
"Desperation has forced people to leave," Javier said.
The father of Reynaldo Ramirez told AP Television News shortly after the rescue that he never lost hope.
"Everybody would say that they were gone, that the sea had taken them," Bernardo Ramirez said. "People would ask me how my heart felt, and I would tell them that my heart felt that he was still alive."
Hundreds of migrants have died in recent years while trying to cross the treacherous Mona Passage that separates the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
Just weeks ago, five Dominican migrants survived and 28 others died on another boat. The survivors said they ate the flesh of a dead migrant, and were later charged with involuntary manslaughter for helping organize an illegal trip.
The U.S. Coast Guard estimates that the number of Dominicans attempting to come to Puerto Rico declined over past five years, to an estimated 3,000 last year from roughly 10,000.
The trend reflected a relative strengthening of the Dominican economy, but fewer visitors are coming to the tourism-dependent country this year as the world economy falters.

Direct secure messaging has transformed the way a Chicago community mental-health services provider cares for patients, according to a case study highlighted in the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT's Health IT Buzz blog.
Direct secure messaging, part of the Direct Project, allows a one-way "push" of information from a health-care provider to a known receiver. Some states, including Illinois, are using Direct secure messaging as part of their health information exchange.
Using the Direct secure-messaging tool, the Ada S. McKinley Community Services' (Ada) outpatient mental-health program receives patient-care information directly into its electronic health record, writes Erica Galvez, community of practice director at ONC's State Health Information Exchange Program.
Most of the 300 children and adolescents that enter Ada's mental-health program each month are referred by primary-care physicians or they transfer from hospitals, according to Margo Roethlisberger, the organization's vice president of program operations in behavioral health and clinical services. Accompanying each admission are the hundreds of pages of records that arrive each day, Galvez wrote.
"By the time the paper was received, scanned and placed in a patient's EHR, the patient had already been seen by clinical staff," Roethlisberger told Galvez. "Absent this data, the clinician must rely on the family to bring in the child's discharge papers and to inform him of the child's past medical history, medications, etc."
Ada implemented the secure messaging through the Illinois Health Information Exchange in February, which "cut the time it takes to get information into the patient's EHR from months to minutes," Galvez wrote. That allows clinicians to review patient medical records before seeing the patient, according to Roethlisberger, including their often complicated medication plans.
Members of Ada's staff also are using Direct secure messaging in the field to upload mental-health assessments via iPads, according to the blog post. Ada staff will be able to send the documents not just to their offices, but to Chicago-area hospitals that sign up for the secure-messaging tool. Roethlisberger is encouraging other health-care providers to also use Direct Project, Galvez said.

GingeRootz Asian Grill celebrates 10 years with 10-day celebration
APPLETON - GingeRootz Asian Grille in Appleton is kicking off 10-days of celebration today to say thank you to its loyal customers.
The restaurant opened in 2004 and has been name Small Business of the Year by the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce. It was one of 10 award recipients of the Make Mine a Million Business Award.
The festivities from Aug. 18-27 are as followed:
- Aug. 18: A reintroduction of the newly remodeled patio. Guests will enjoy complimentary appetizers on the patio from 3 - 6 p.m., which has doubled in size.
- Aug. 19: Sumo wresting – Kids and adults will be able to try their hand at sumo wrestling outside of GingeRootz. The family-style menu will feature items equivalent to what sumo wrestlers eat on a daily basis.
- Aug. 20: Zodiac – The Chinese zodiac signs play a large role in the dining experience at GingeRootz. This event will feature separate menus to reference each zodiac sign to the dish or drink as well as its significance.
- Aug. 21: Korean BBQ – Guests will have the opportunity to grill their own meal, ordered off the feature menu.
- Aug. 22: Sushi – Chef Lang and Linda will create new rolls exclusive to this event.
- Aug. 23: Dim Sum – A very important part of Chinese culture, dim sum is a selection of small appetizers where the family gathers around to have a light breakfast to start their busy day. Though these are breakfast-style items, they will be offered for lunch and dinner.
- Aug. 24: Jade Day – Celebrate feature dishes from the old restaurant the Ng family ran prior to the creation of GingeRootz.

There will also be a Chinese Lion Dance performance.
- Aug. 25: Bento Box – A common Japanese lunch, the Bento Box has an array of small samplings of dishes allowing guests to sample a variety of items without the worry of ordering too much. GingeRootz will offer three to five Bento Box selections throughout the day.

- Aug. 27: VIP Dinner – After attending two or more of the above celebratory events, guests will be entered to win a place at the VIP dinner. Selected diners will be wined and dined by GingeRootz from 5-7 p.m.
FOX 11's Pauleen Le spent the morning checking out the festivities.

Nearly a third of today's workers are doing some or all of their work remotely, and that number is only going to grow as worker bees decide it is their "right" to work from wherever suits them. However, many employers who still believe the calendar is stuck at 1980 are resisting embracing the remote-work concept. These employers are not only fighting a losing battle, but will be losing some of their top workers as a result of their limited insight.
That's the takeaway of a study by Flex+Strategy Group and their similarly monickered study partner, Work+Life Fit.
The survey received input from 556 employees and drew conclusions about telework based on the feedback. But rather than simply reporting what they found, the research partners offered tips to employers for integrating this intelligence into their business game plans.
First, the data. The researchers felt their results "dispelled several telework stereotypes." Among them:
- The teleworker is not a woman. Among those that telework, 71 percent were men.
- The teleworkers is not a parent. There is no significant difference between remote workers with or without kids.
- The teleworkers is not a millennial. There is no significant difference in the age groups of remote workers.
"Almost one-third of the work that gets done today gets done from home, coffee shops and other locations, yet too many corporate leaders treat telework as a disposable option, as in the case of Yahoo," said Cali Williams Yost, Flex+ CEO. "Telework is not a perk and it's certainly not just for moms and Gen Y. Rather, it's an operational strategy. Think of it as anything less and organizations ignore what has become a vital part of their business and the way their people actually work.
That said, the researchers offered six tips for adapting to and taking best advantage of teleworking.
1. Understand the consequences to your business if you don't pay attention to work life flexibility. The majority of respondents (66 percent) agreed that the business would suffer in a number of key areas without work-life flexibility, with the top three areas being health (48 percent), morale (41 percent) and productivity (36 percent).
2. Increased workloads may be here to stay but work life flexibility can help employees strategically manage their lives while getting the work done. The study found that a heavy workload and lack of time are the primary obstacles to work-life flexibility. Encourage experimentation with flextime and telework as ways to meet the needs of the business as well as manage life outside of work.
3. Position work-life flexibility in your organization as a talent recruitment/retention strategy. Avoid references that would imply a "benefit," "program," or "perk" that's nice to have but not critical to the business. Language and perception matter.
4. Tackle lingering fears that keep individuals from optimizing their work-life flexibility. Respondents said they didn't improve their flexibility because:
- 21 percent thought they'd make less money;
- 16 percent were concerned they'd lose their jobs;
- 11 percent felt others would think they don't work hard;
- 13 percent worried that their boss would say "no."
5. Expand the definition of work-life flexibility in your organization to include both informal, day-to-day flexibility as well as formal plans that officially change when, where or how work is done. In too many organizations, flexibility means formal arrangements only. This overlooks and undervalues the flexibility most commonly used by respondents, day-to-day, ad hoc, according to 62 percent of respondents.
6. To make day-to-day flexibility a win for the business and the individual employees, encourage communication and coordination across all stakeholder groups. The findings showed that communication related to the use of day-to-day flexibility is limited to employee-supervisor (79 percent) and employee-spouse/family/partner (63 percent). But it needs to also include colleagues and those supervised.

Get email delivery of the Cadence blog featured here
TeamAllegro and Signal Integrity expert Robert Hanson will continue to join
forces in response to the OrCAD and Allegro 16.5 product release. The growing demand for easy to use and affordable
Signal Integrity solutions such as OrCAD PCB SI has enabled us to schedule our
next High Speed seminar the week of September 19 located at the Cadence office
in Austin, Texas.
On the heels of a successful training event in Massachusetts, Robert Hanson
will again teach his popular SI/PI/EMC training course on a Cadence
campus. On September 19-23, engineers and PCB designers of all levels of
high speed design experience have the opportunity to increase their expertise
in signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC at the Cadence office in
Robert will once again offer his courses either as a daily module or as a
multi-day package. At the time of this posting, room is still available
for the Austin event. To learn more about this event and how to register,
see the event listing.
The reviews for Robert's training continue to be "five stars." You can read the review from Jilin Tan who
attended the previous seminar in Chelmsford, MA in the comments of that event
of the event will also be able to see demonstrations of how Cadence tools such
as OrCAD PCB SI and Allegro PCB SI can be used to perform analysis to address
the topics on which Robert will teach. SI tools purchased from Cadence or
Cadence Channel Partners within 60 days of the seminar will be made available
at a discount to seminar attendees. Details can be obtained from your
local Cadence field representative.
took the time to let us know how valuable the tool demonstrations are to his
students. He recently told us:
"The Cadence tool
demonstrations are an excellent learning experience for my students. They provide the reality of how to
simulate and catch signal integrity problems early so that designs can be
completed on schedule with greater signal quality. The demonstrations
truly complement the seminar material in that students can see how it works
beyond paper material; it is akin to the old adage "a picture is
worth a thousand words." Each morning before class I ask any early
arriving student their impression of the demonstration of the previous
day. The typical reply is that it was great because it tied the
theory with the actual circuit functionality. Also, it provides the student
with an overall knowledge of the various capabilities of the Allegro and OrCAD
PCB SI tools. One student told me that the main reason he attended the
seminar series was to critique the tool set and my training was a secondary
consideration. Another benefit is that the demonstrations are very
interactive. Students can ask "what
if" and the Cadence Application Engineer demonstrating the tool will
show how the simulation goal can be accomplished."
thank Robert for his comments and we are looking forward to hearing more of
your comments regarding the Robert Hanson seminars.
