New Features
Please add your suggestions for new SilverStripe CMS & Framework features (Note: bugs should be logged over in GitHub).
Have the /admin/ url as a setting
Currently the admin URL needs swapping manually in the following places. This should be more easily changed.
framework/filesystem/File.php34 votes -
Add / Replace the save button with a 'Save and Create' Button
Currently the admin for dataobjects out of the box only allows you to save / delete an item however when you have a lot of data to enter it's very frustrating to click 'Save', 'Back', 'Create new item'
This should all be bundled into a simple button 'Save and Create'

Ability to perform atomic database migrations
From: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/3868
Currently the SilverStripe framework lacks the ability to easily perform custom migrations at an atomic level. That is, SilverStripe has a very intuitive interface for defining database structure in a declarative format (e.g. "setup these columns with this format and these relations") but currently there is no method that I know of which facilitates a smooth and controlled atomic transition of database schema and the data contained therein. I'm not aware of any techniques by which I can change the way data is handled by DataObjects so I can deploy my code and database changes without leaving behind…

Ability to sort DataObjects and Files/Images by default
I think the ability to sort DataObjects (via Gridfield) and Files or Images (via UploadField) should be avalabkle out-of-thre-box without requiring 3rd party modules.
It's a fundamental CMS feature for proper management of displayed content.
21 votes -
More user-friendly set-up of websites
Right now, a non-developer has a hard time to create the desired website with Silverstripe.
One needs to enter console-commands (composer) to install themes or even new page types.
A web-interface should be created to provide the possibilities to extend the default installation with themes and add-ons.12 votes -
Add abilty to Customize the CMS
SS 2.4 allowed much easier custimzation of the CMS styling (custom CSS, Logos, Etc). While 3+ has moved to Sass based model we've lost a lot of the abilty to customize the back end presenation.
The current Sass files are stored in route framework/cms folders meaing update overrite any changes. Furthermore the current Sass framework is still reiiant on a lot of hard coded colors/fonts/etc instead of varaibles and Sass functions to modify them.
Being able to specify an external Variables file and/or an external set of CSS (allowing developers to copy out the sass and recomplie with differnt settings)…
17 votes -
Overhaul error page management
1. Move error pages out of the site tree, and manage them under Settings instead. Or group them along with other utility pages (like search results pages) under the site tree in the CMS and separated by a horizontal divider.
2. Don't generate a static copy of templated/branded error pages. Include generic static error pages instead.
This was discussed here before moving to UserVoice: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-cms/issues/1139
Reasons for #1
• Error pages don't belong in the site tree. An error page isn't really a 'page' at all, it's a message that is shown when something goes wrong. It…25 votes -
Use existing composer-based library for Image Backend manipulation
Rather than spend a bunch of time and effort maintaining our own Image_Backend, why not make use of the "Imagine" composer-based PHP library that does the same thing, and no doubt better.
Additional instant wins include: GMagick support, far bigger range of manipulations, easy to create your own manipulations.

Have a Laravel FW like on-screen detailed error logging view that logs even the lowest level of bug eg. syntax error without adding isDev=1
It's really hard for beginners spotting errors and bugs with Silverstripe. The error checking system is good but only feels like its meant for pros. SIlverstripe a million times failed to print out error on the browser even when isDev is enabled. We wish it to be more like Laravel's error logging system making the tiniest errors and syntax mistakes easily detectable.
20 votes -
MongoDB Driver
MongoDB is fast and would suit the class inheritance we've got going already. I expect it would speed things up a lot as it would mean fewer joins and complex queries.
Ideally, the whole CMS could run on Mongo but a second best would be to allow some DataObjects to use it and some to remain on another driver.
32 votes -
Use composer to load thirdparty libraries
Currently thirdparty libraries (e.g. Zend Cache/Translate) are included as part of the framework.
There would likely be some work around getting SilverStripe to work with the latest versions of these packages.
Might also be a chance to decouple some of the dependencies, right now the cache code seems quite tightly coupled and inflexible.
9 votes -
Installer process should generate an environment file rather than writing to _config.php as a best practice
This would be useful to introduce the new developer to the concept of environment files earlier in their learning process rather than having two different ways to set up db credentials.
This could be written into the webroot initially with a post installation message outlining the options for moving out into a folder above.
10 votes -
Improve link button functionality in TinyMCE
I think it would be good to have a choice between an internal link, external link, or file like in Wordpress.
For the internal link, a site tree should allow you to select from a page within the site, and ideally when the page URL updates the link also updates.
9 votes -
Improve iframe and embed options in 'Add Media' html editor
Add something like http://addons.silverstripe.org/add-ons/kinglozzer/htmleditoriframe to core
and extend to support additional fields for embed url code i.e google map embed/iframe
8 votes -
Make the Add Member and Add Group buttons
In the Security area of the CMS make the Add Member and Add Group buttons available to users other than Administrators.
6 votes -
Filesystem Abstraction
Allow for different filesystems to be added using a common Filesystem Interface.
The includes AWS S3 and other cloud storage.
This should separate the filesystem from the database layer.
60 votesRFC for this under review at RFC for this is under review at https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/3792
ErrorException instead of user_error
In the framework user_error() is still used quite regularly and while at certain points this functionality might be wanted.
I would like it to be changed to use ErrorException (http://php.net/ErrorException) this would allow any developer to actually catch some of these Errors (especially the ones related to database errors like duplicated key etc.) and use them as they wish.
In my case i would like to catch these for a Restful API and return them as Error arrays in my json response.
Which in the current implementation is not really possible since all errors go through the Debug::loadErrorHandlers()…7 votes -
Make internal core search system more extensible
Advanced internal search system, without plugins or complicated requirements on the server. FulltextSearchable and SearchForm provide a basics approach to implementing search over MySQL, it would be easy to modify those classes to be more dynamic and allow MySQL based FulltextSearch index on custom columns.
29 votes -
Validate text field length based on record objects allowed length
"Varchar properties would usually be edited via a TextField which you can set a character limit on - would be great if this was automatically set based on the varchar length. This would prevent a lot of trimming in the CMS. Error message as a back up for other contexts would be good too."

Ability to submit user feedback from the CMS
As part of this usability document (http://www.silverstripe.org/assets/2014/Reports/Usability-report-on-SilverStripe-CMS-Main-actions-and-page-states.pdf), it has become clear that users are keen to voice feedback about the CMS but are unsure how to do this, so I would love to see a feedback form inside the CMS which will allow users to submit their pain points and then have a hosted area for everyone to view and sort issues based on popularity etc. or other metrics. This could be used to create future uservoice issues especially for CMS users. Their email would be optional and would have to be hidden from the feedback but could…

Sunday, December 7, 1997 Published at 22:01 GMT Myra Hindley Hindley's life in prison: a process of atonement? Myra Hindley and her statement of apology
Myra Hindley is determined that she has atoned for the Moors murders, and that after 31 years, she should be released from prison.
Hindley's lawyers are appealing against the ruling by the Home Secretary, Jack Straw, last month that she will spend the rest of her life in prison.
Since the ruling Ms Hindley, 54, has been put on a suicide watch at Durham Prison where she is serving her sentence.
Mr Brady and Ms Hindley were jailed for life, and the judge recommended that they serve "a very long time".
Myra Hindley denied killing the children for years, but in the mid 1980s she began to talk for the first time about what she had done with her counsellor Rev Peter Timms.
In recent years Ms Hindley has been campaigning hard for release, although she knows that her life would never be normal outside prison.
Relatives of the Moors victims have promised to attack her if she is ever released from prison. In September protesters threw ink and eggs over a controversial portrait of Hindley, made with imprints from a child hands, which was on show at London's Royal Academy.
She rediscovered her faith in Catholicism in the 1970s, and has expressed sorrow and remorse for her crimes on many occasions.
"I ask people to judge me as I am now and not as I was then," she said in a public statement in 1994.
Her supporters, who include Lord Longford, her solicitor Andrew McCooey, the Rev. Peter Timms, and the former editor of the Observer, David Astor, say she has already served more than double the sentence usually served by convicted murderers with good records of behaviour.
"She had shown no criminal tendencies until her involvement with Brady, and she has shown none since," Mr Astor said.
Ms Hindley has been assessed by psychiatrists, doctors, prison officials and chaplains all of whom conclude that she is no longer a threat to society. She and her lawyers argue that on the strength of the parole system set up in the 1960s, this all means that she should qualify for early release.
While in prison she has gained a degree in humanities. She spends her time listening to the radio, reading and studying languages. According to her counsellor Joe Chapman, she deeply regrets any involvement with Brady.
In 1985 the Home Office set her sentence at 30 years, which would have meant release in 1996.
But in 1990 the Conservative Home Secretary, David Waddington, decided that for Myra Hindley "life should mean life" and that she should die in prison.
This decision was endorsed four years later by the then Home Secretary, Michael Howard, and has now been upheld by Jack Straw, who took office after Labour's election victory in May 1997.
But earlier this year Ms Hindley won a judicial review of her tariff. She has argued that Michael Howard acted unlawfully and inhumanely, and that he was swayed by political and public pressure when he rejected her appeal in 1994.
Lord Longford expressed "total disgust and contempt" at Mr Straw's decision, saying it was a result of a prolonged pressure campaign in the tabloids.
He described her as a good, young Catholic until she began to work under the mentally-ill Ian Brady.
Most people think that Ms Hindley should spend the rest of her life in prison, according to a recent poll of listeners to BBC Radio 5Live.
The poll suggested that 66% of listeners thought she should never be released, compared to 34% saying she should have some chance for freedom.
Winnie Johnson, the mother of one of the victims, Keith Bennett said: "The Government must listen to what the people are saying and never let her go."

"Absolutely gorgeous card - perfect for my daughter. Pink and chic, came quickly and customer service was super helpful. Preppy and stylish just like my girl!"
"Love the design on the card. Chose this for our son's first birthday invites. Everyone keeps complimenting on how they love this design."
"I loved this invitation for my daughter's first birthday. It was feminine without being too girly. I loved how i could customize the layout to suit the event. I wish there were a few more font colors to choose from, but overall it was money well spent. Good quality card, crisp lines, the colors stood out. I would definitely shop at tinyprints again."
"Simply beautifull!! Last year completely satisfied with a 1st birthday model and this year in love with my final product. Very easy to personalize it, great paper quality and perfect pearl finish paper...so delicate. Everyone loved it!!!"
"I have used Tiny Prints for a couple of events and I cannot complain. I just love the quality and the vibrant colors. I'm keeping one of these as a keepsake, for sure!"

by Vyan
It's clear that the partisan lines were drawn with this decision by the Court. Conservatives on One Side, Liberals and Neo-Progressives on the Other. It's obvious where everyone stood.
by Wikipedia
You can see the Senators such as Lyndsay Graham and Governors such as Jan Brewer are doing the Snoopy Dance of Happiness.
Graham: "Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act was a necessary tool to preserve voting rights, but due to the reform and advances in South Carolina election law, it is no longer necessary," he said in a statement. "The Supreme Court noted this tremendous progress in South Carolina's electoral system and it was the underpinning of their decision. I concur with the Court that our state has made tremendous progress."http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/...
Brewer: "It's hampered us for a long time," Brewer told reporters Tuesday. "It's another blow. it's another strike for states rights. I think we were being punished by the Voting Rights Act for indiscretions, for bad things that took place decades ago and those don't take place any longer. We have grown and so it was the right thing to do so I'm pleased."This coming from the Governor of the State that Houses Sheriff Joe Arpaio who is up to bushy eye-brows in Discrimination Suits.
Yeah, that stuff used to happen years ago and doesn't take place any longer... except that it does, and everyone knows it.
It's ironic that the SCOTUS came down with this decision on the same week, and frankly the same day, that Paula Deen went on the Today Show where Matt Lauer asked her - "Would You have Fired You (for using the N-word Repeatedly)?"
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Her answer of course was "No, because I know me, and those people who truly know me have stood by me." She also argued that she was only prejudiced against "Thieves and Liars" - ok, so what makes you think all the "Theives and Liars" are Black? And y'know what a better word for "Theives and Liars" might be than the N-Word?
"Thieves and Liars".
I'm just saying.
The fact is that if another White person hadn't outed Deen in a discrimination suit for her behind-the-scenes statements, we wouldn't even be discussing her at all. Just like most of modern day discrimination, those who partake in it a) Hide behind closed doors and euphemisms and b) Sometimes completely fail to realize just how bigoted their own actions and statements are.
Just like Deen.
In her dissent Justice Ginsburg essentially made mince meat of the Majority Decision in this case. http://www.supremecourt.gov/...

Title: | Capturing Archaeological Performance on Digital Video: Implications for Teaching and Learning Archaeology |
Authors: | Colley, Sarah Gibbs, Martin Department of Archaeology |
Keywords: | digital video field archaeology teaching learning |
Issue Date: | 21-Sep-2012 |
Abstract: | In 2009 we produced a series of edited video clips to demonstrate practical methods to archaeology students at the University of Sydney in Australia. The videos were made publicly accessible via YouTube and incorporated into teaching of an undergraduate archaeological field methods course in 2010 and 2011. Our paper outlines staff experiences of making and using the videos for teaching and discusses results of student questionnaire feedback about the videos and the course. The results provide insight into the effectiveness of different ways of teaching practical archaeology in a context of large class sizes and limited resources and the potential of using digital video technologies to communicate archaeology to students and other audiences. |

**Heyyy, front page?! Ahhh, you guys are the best. :D
*Thank you everybody for the reviews. I'm glad so many of you knew of SkiFree, and that I could help you reminisce. It was one of the first games I played and I loved it. Daily second?! Awesome. Thats kind of a big deal to me, so thanks again everybody.
Hey there. Free Board is my tribute to that old PC game SkiFree. There was a lot of experimentation done here, like zooming camera and getting real shape to the snowboard path.

I cry myself to sleep every night with regret
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This was actually really fun. Nostalgic in the fact that it looked like a more slick, stylish version of Ski-Free. I seriously expected the abdominal snowman to come out and eat me in this.
The gameplay was great, hard at times and a little tricky to get used to. But that was just homage to the players skill, pushing them further and further to get in the game, see how far they can go, and how far they've progressed.
I enjoyed free mode, something about the ability to jump over 300m of trees at the fastest speed was fun. The time attack mode was very well thought out too, very tricky at times but that just made it all the more enjoyable.
The game was simple and that's all it had to be, good work.

Mike McNeff's Reviews > Duty, Honor, Country: West Point to Shiloh
Duty, Honor, Country: West Point to Shiloh

Mike McNeff's review
bookshelves: action-adventure, military, historical-fiction
Oct 29, 11
bookshelves: action-adventure, military, historical-fiction
Read in April, 2011
Bob Mayer's Duty, Honor, Country is a wonderful book with a rich tapestry of characters set in the histories of the Civil War and West Point. The Civil War and its prelude are not backdrops in this work...they are an integral part of it. Mayer obviously did a tremendous amount of research and created a tightly woven, well written masterpiece. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys good books and it is a must read for anyone interested in the Civil War or the US military.

MELVILLE, N.Y. -- Sbarro Inc., the pizza-centered Italian restaurant chain based here appointed veteran restaurant industry executive Michael P. O'Donnell chief executive on Sept. 3.
According to Newsday, O'Donnell's appointment is the first non-family member to hold the post at the privately held company. He succeeds Mario Sbarro, who remains chairman of the company.
Sbarro disclosed the appointment in a filing made on Sept. 16 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Although private, Sbarro has publicly traded debt securities.
The appointment comes at a time when Sbarro is struggling with declining sales due to reduced traffic at malls and airports.
Sbarro's sales in its most recent quarter were $72 million, down 9.2 percent from the same period in 2002. Same-store sales at company-owned restaurants were down 3.9 percent compared to the same period in 2002.
O'Donnell, 47, of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., was an industry consultant for the past year and is a former top executive with Outback Steakhouses, Ale House Restaurants, Ground Round Restaurants and TGI Fridays.
At Outback, O'Donnell was president and chief executive of Roy's, a Hawaiian-style restaurant operated as a joint venture between Outback and Roy Yamaguchi. He also was chief executive and president for all of Outback's new businesses.
He serves on the board of directors at Champps Entertainment, a Littleton, Colo.-based restaurant chain, and of Boston Inner City Schools.
According to the SEC filing, O'Donnell will be paid $450,000 a year and an annual bonus of at least $112,000 in his first year.

I am finally recording a professionally produced CD. It's about time! These are some of my best songs, and it's all rock 'n roll Read more
About this project
Jud Caswell, owner and engineer of Frog Hollow Studio in Brunswick, Maine, interviews me about my new CD, "I've Got a Secret", that I am recording there. Jud is doing a really great job, liberating me to get my music down the way I've always wanted. Listen to the sound of the lead guitar lines Jud elicits from me in Fade Away, or in "I've Got a Secret". (I love that Les Paul!) I'm about 1/3 done with the recording work, but I need your help to finish this project. There's still a lot of studio work to do, mixing, mastering, packaging design, graphics, duplication, marketing... This is a lifelong dream, and I hope you'll join me in making it come true! Lots of good stuff for everyone who participates!

Congratulations are in order for Rob! 'Cosmopolis' launched in the U.S. this weekend and topped the specialty box office with the biggest per screen average of $24.1K! Read on for all the details!
Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis made a strong debut in the box office this weekend!
Cosmopolis pulled in $72,327 over the weekend in just THREE theaters, averaging $24,100 per screen! That's truly impressive.
Rob, 26, can attribute this win to his relationship trouble with Kristen Stewart, his charming good looks, or simply his incredible talent! Either way, Rob has a reason to celebrate!
For comparison, the film that topped this weekend's box office, The Expendables 2, only pulled in $8,670 per screen! Way to go, Rob!

After some thought, here's what I think. Rob dropped some hints in NY.. re.' needing a break' and things 'not being as people think '. I think they are fed up with media hounding wherever they go and may have decided for Kristin to give her time out, and in manner suggested by foster in her article Rob may be the one to have rescued her.
I think rob and kris staged this to get time away to get out of spotlight, have time together, maybe to get married.. She may also be pregnant also, hence canceling next film. I think she's over being hounded night and day and thought up this as a way also to bet back at her pursuers/paparazzi.
Just look at the photos.. in some they are laughing and looking at the camera.. I think this was a set –up by Rob, Kristen to buy them some time and they did not anticipate it would get such nasty response from people . It's opened up a lot of issues re. media/privacy.. time to look at these things in a new light.

I check the box office site and here are the results for this weekend The expendable 28.75 millions, The Bourne Legacy 17 millions, Paranorman 14.09 millions, Sparkle 12.0 millions, The life of Thimothy Green 10.9 millions and Cosmopolis 72k don't see how it's a winning @ the box office.
Posted at 1:12 AM on August 20, 2012
The other movies are showing in multiple theaters across the United States, whereas, "Cosmopolis" is only showing in a limited number of theaters since it was an indie film. Since the first few showings were profitable, it will now be released in many more theaters throughout the U.S. Also, "Cosmopolis" was made on an extremely small budget, whereas all the others movies listed had huge multimillion dollar budgets.

It still didn't do as well as SWATH. Until it does and it probably won't he should not get to cocky. What a stupid movie why would a Business want to get a hair cut on the other side of the city- surely there are hairdressers near his office.He does business and has sex in his car with a driver present. Only stupid people went to see it because they all felt sorry for Rob. I love Rob, I think he is fabulous but come one this movie is crap. I have seen the promos and it did nothing for me. Infact it was shown at only 1 theatre here in South Australia Australia where I live and it did not do well.It was shown well before Rob did his promo in NYC. It has gone now. I believe it has an over 18 rating because of the sex. Also SWATH is still being shown in the same theatre which has about 7 different theatres in one. It is still being shown in the local theatre in the suburb I live in and I have seen it about 4 times because I think it is a great movie. I even saw BD1 four times.It has been here since June. What does that tell you about both movies. Lets see how it does by the next weekend. Even the Dark Knight Rises is more exciting. I would imagine that BD2 will make more money than this film.
Yes Rob would have been a nobody if Kristen haven't demanded he play Edward in Twilight. She has also given him the inspiration to write music again that is why she brought him the 2 guitars for Christmas.
If COSMOPOLIS budget was $19 million and it only makes about 5-6 million world wide.Do you really believe it will even make that much. How can you say that they are winning. Would they lose by about 13 million don't you think it could lose even more if it doesn't make 5-6 million.
Get a grip. People only went to see it because the felt sorry for Rob. Yes he is proud of it but he wouldn't want people to go see it because of the cheating scandal and they feel sorry for him.
Things that make you go hmmm
Posted at 11:11 PM on August 19, 2012
David and Rob are proud of this movie no matter how much it makes!! He was fantastic in it !! Some people only know how to bring others down!! Some people can never win, no matter which way they go!! Who cares what other movies have made, not to mention you have be 18 and over to see it and also it's an Indie movie not a blockbuster. Let's not forget this movie is like no other, it's not a swath movie which attracts all audiences!! Just give it a rest already, give praise when praise is due!!

Hate to break it to you, but Rob is a wonderful actor who does the films that he knows is not going to be box office hits. Kstews last film OTR didn't get nearly the response at Cannes that Cosmo did. Robs film takes a certain audience to understand it. It isn't every Twiligbters ideal film for him, but he does a suburb job in it and deserves respect for doing it. I don't believe any of you naysayers have Hollywood beating down your door, so lighten up.
Posted at 2:16 AM on August 20, 2012
may be if it was not for Rob "TWILIGHt" won't be "TWILIGHT"..today..(nd i m talking about the movie nt the book)
it is becoz of him the movie became so popular..
and don't say that it is popular becoz the book already had a die hard fan base..u knw "The Hunger Games" books are also very popular..nd Jennifer L was really great in that movie..but have u seen the same craziness as "TWILIGHT"..No..becoz it does not have a Powerfull male Charecter as Rob..SO to those who Says that Rob wouldn't be Rob if it was nt for kristen,listen..he got the role becoz he perfomed the best..becoz he was the Best Edward..and he is an Tremendously fine actor..He would have been successful..one way or another..

Butch Ramirez
"It was back and forth for two minutes. We settled the ball and it was on the other side. I wanted to give Maureen a bit of a break and she picked up the ball."
Brigitte Geiger
"That got Paul into a rhythm. We went back to the backfield they're comfortable with and that helped settle them down."
Bart Tooley
"I'm not the sort to settle into one place for too long. I'm too much of an individualist."
Brian Montgomery
"Even if they settle on baseball or softball as they get into high school, those other sports have unique elements that allow athletes to develop on a broader scale. Strength from football or agility from basketball are valuable as well."
Christopher Downs
"After the revolution, four soldiers from that war settled in Rochester, ... We start with them and go into the War of 1812, and the Toledo war, which was a border dispute between Michigan and Ohio. Then we go into the Black Hawk War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, the two world wars, the Korean and Vietnam wars, the Persian Gulf wars and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."
David Harrell
"And he's using a knife to settle a score. He stabs this woman and she's right there, one on one."
Christopher Darden
"We felt it would be less costly to settle than to go forward."
Brian Hague
"We're going to give it a couple of days to settle down and just keep doing what we've been doing, ... I'm not really overreacting to anything. It's just that you've got to give it time. I haven't really been doing it. Once you're going at full speed, your body has to respond to it. You have to let it do it at its own pace."

. The largest difference is that the employees do not shift to a co-employment relationship. The employees remain with the employer and all taxes are paid under the clients tax ID numbers. The services are exactly the same as far as how the clients are treated internally by Delta. We still handle all the
Human Resource issues
Risk Management issues
Benefit Issues
Payroll and taxes
are still processed by Delta. There is not as much of a shared liability because there is not the co-employment relationship. Contractually Delta still assumes the tax liability as long as the invoices are paid on time. Some clients need the employees to remain in their corporate ID because of certain internal issues, or they may be getting government funds for the amount of employees they have on staff, etc.

Q: Is this just another "fired and rehired" scheme?
A: NO, workers are never fired by the client business and rehired by the PEO. Instead, a worker becomes an employee of two employers in a contractual co-employment relationship. The PEO assumes employer responsibilities and liabilities for the human resource and personnel obligations of the worksite employees. This responsibility includes employee wages and employment taxes, workers compensation and unemployment insurance and employee benefits. The small business retains employer responsibilities and supervision of production of the products or services, or the delivery of such services.
Back to Top
Q: How many workers in the United States are in a co-employment PEO arrangement?
A: NAPEO, (the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations), estimates that between 2.5 and 4 million American workers are currently co-employed in a PEO arrangement. PEO's are operating in every state and the industry has grown between 20% and 30% per year over the past 10 years. Today there are well over 2000 PEO companies that are responsible for over $20 billion in employee wages and human resource and employee benefits.
Back to Top
Q: Why would a worker of a small to mid sized business want a PEO as an employer?
A: Workers seek financial security, quality health insurance, a safe working environment, and opportunities for retirement savings. PEO's may provide Fortune 500 quality employee benefits. Job security is improved as the PEO economy of scale permits a business to lower employment costs. Job satisfaction and productivity increases when workers are provided quality human resource services like employee manuals, grievance procedures, and improved communications.
Back to Top
Q: How does a business owner go about selecting which PEO is right for their business?
A: 1. Assess your workplace to determine your human resource and risk management needs.
2. Make sure the PEO is capable of meeting your goals. Meet the people that will be serving you.
3. Ask for references, how long have they been in business, etc.
4. Check to see if they are a member of NAPEO, the national trade association of the industry.
5. Investigate the companies administrative and risk management competence. What experience and depth do they have.
6. Make sure all of their insurances are with a-rated carriers and that they are fully funded products.
7. Review the service agreement carefully. Are the parties responsibilities clearly laid out? What provisions are there to cancel the contract.
8. If your state requires a license of PEO's make sure you are dealing with a licensed PEO. (required in Louisiana as of 01-01-02)
Back to Top
Q: How does a PEO arrangement work?
A: In a relationship among a PEO, a worksite employee, and a client company, there exists a co-employment relationship in which both the PEO and the client company have an employment relationship with the worker. The PEO and the client company contractually allocate some of the shared traditional employer responsibilities and liabilities. The PEO assumes the responsibility and the liability to the "business of employment", such as risk management, personnel management, human resource compliance, payroll and tax compliance. The client company manages product development and production, marketing, sales and service. The PEO assumes and establishes an employment relationship with the worksite employee and provides a complete human resource and employee benefit package.
Back to Top
Q: What is a PEO?
A: A professional employer organization,(PEO), is a company which contractually assumes and manages critical human resource and personnel responsibilities and employer risks. Today 17 states provide some sort of licensing, registration, or regulation for PEO's. The internal revenue service also acknowledges that a PEO may be the employer for federal income and unemployment taxes.
Back to Top
Q: Why would a small to medium sized business use a PEO?
A: Small to medium sized business owners want to focus their time and energy on the "business", not spend all of their days doing paperwork for the government. Most small business owners do not have the necessary human resource training, payroll and accounting skills, knowledge of regulatory compliance, or background in risk management, insurance or employee benefits to meet today's demands put on us by the government. Even if you do, is this where you want to spend your time in creating a business that is growing and successful? This is the opportunity to provide something special to the worksite employees, beyond what they normally would have working for a small business, and concentrate solely on the business at hand.

Hot answers tagged gamification
There are a few videos and some links here on gamification in education.
Sarah Smith- Robbins has an article on gamification in education.
http://www.gamifyingeducation.org/ is a website devoted to the topic; the site has a listing of research papers here.
A popular lit review [1] discusses some game concepts that have been empirically tested to support the idea of gamification. In some cases, these may be very hard to quantify. For instance, the article cites fantasy as one gaming characteristic that engages gamers. Other characteristics, such as having clear, well defined rules/goals seem easier to ...
Yes. See contra-freeloading or (for humans) ikea effect.
Contrafreeloading: (verb) The behavior in which animals offered the choice between eating food provided to them for free or working to get that food would eat the most food from the source that required effort. This term was created in 1963 by animal psychologist Glen Jensen. Jensen ran a study on ...
For applied purposes, gamification can be captured within a self-determination theoretical framework. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is an influential theory of motivation which grew out of research on intrinsic/extrinsic rewards in the 1970's, and which has been applied to virtually every learning setting. The main proponents of SDT include Edward Deci and ...
When a boring, repetitive task is being gamed for rewards, there are two things that you need to look at. First, the problem definition and whether it is accurately defined (keeping in mind that autonomy is not lost). Second, the conditions of the reward and what is the actual behavior that is being rewarded.
There are two main factors influencing ...
This is actually a perfect fit for the best kind of gamification that illuminates the progress you're already making (but weren't aware of)
1. Break the creative task into steps in a creative process
2. Measure that progress for the user.
You don't even need to reward progress, just how them how it gets them closer to the goal. Success may not be ...
The game League of Legends utilised an Elo Rating System which incorporated within it a decay system. The decay worked on a user score and reduced it dependent on both user performance and time. Here, user score was an indicator of skill level and was used in another formula to calibrate the actual scores they received from other in-game activities. So, ...
In short, I'd say the minimum requirement is to understand which behaviours you are influencing and why.
Before you consider which game techniques to use, consider the 'story' of the product/service.
Each story includes:
Actor/s. Who are your targets?
These actors are motivated by something. This is what your game should leverage.
There is a goal. What ...
I would argue that gamification is essentially a form of applied motivational psychology. As such, all findings from research on motivation could potentially be important for gamification. In the other thread that you mention, Self-Determination Theory (Gagne & Deci, 2005) has already been brought up. I would like to make a couple of very general ...
Hmm. It's possibly I'm misunderstanding, in which case I will happily retract my answer. But does gamification really apply to, well, games? I thought the idea behind gamification was to take user engagement elements present in games and add them into non-gaming situations to increase user retention/satisfaction etc.
So I would say that if you're making a ...
Intrinsic Rewards (motivation)
These are rewards which are directly of value to the person, rather being something that represents (or could be "traded in") for something to of value.
So getting a badge in and of itself isn't an Intrinsic Reward, but up votes on an answer would be b/c it converts Status and Validation of the user's work.
These rewards are ...
I disagree with the premise the question.
Some of the most popular casual games in the world use the classic points systems that have been used since the 90s. Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies, Bejeweled, Subway Surfer are played by millions of players worldwide and they all use a classical points system. Also, many users regularly share their scores on social ...
For starters, I think it's a good idea to provide rewards for both students and mentors. As an example: Mentors could receive rewards for answering questions by students, while students receive rewards for solving exercises. Furthermore, the mentor should be able to give rewards for good questions etc.
Actually, it's quite a bit like Stack Exchange, if you ...
The game mechanics playdeck from tech startup SCVNGR gives 50 great starting points.
Perhaps more directly relevant to the SE CogSci audience is the Mental Notes project, which aims to "bring a little psychology to Web design [...] each card describes one insight into human behavior and suggests ways to apply this to the design of Web sites, Web apps, and ...
Malone and Lepper (1987) is often cited as the seminal paper regarding gamification for education. They started off by identifying factors which affect computer game preferences and then identified motivational factors. Habgood et al (2005) built on this taxonomy and developed a high quality game for supporting the teaching of division. My understanding is ...
This discussion of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation covers most of what you are after.
A reward is intrinsic to an activity if it comes from doing the task itself. A reward is extrinsic if otherwise. The classic extrinsic reward is money. Classic intrinsic rewards are challenge and stimulation.
According to Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation,
intrinsic rewards are motivators (e.g. challenging work, recognition, responsibility) that give positive satisfaction,
while extrinsic rewards are hygiene factors (e.g. status, job security, salary, fringe benefits, work conditions) that prevent dissatisfaction.
Intrinsic rewards related ...
The only reason I'm answering this right now is for points. (oooh, so meta).
But seriously, StackExchange is built on the relevance of points. Most users would post some things even without points, but almost all of them answer quick and easy questions primarily for the points (whether they admit it or not). That is why the FGITW (fastest gun in the west) ...
Intrinsic reward is the emotional pay-off that you get by completing an activity.
Extrinsic reward is everything else.
For example, In an real game, the sense of accomplishment that you get after completing a level is intrinsic, all the points and badges are extrinsic rewards.
Introducing Intrinsic rewards in gamification is not trivial, you have make the ...

Duely noted. And disregarded. If little Johnny doesn't like his dirty laundry aired for all to see, it's as simple as him logging off and never posting his ridiculous garbage here again. Wouldn't you agree?Yes, I have read some of his posts. No, I do not agree with nor condone a lot of what I read on topix. I do however, realize that a good portion of the posts on here are people just trying to get a rise out of others.
If those things really happened to him as a child, then it shouldn't be fodder for topix. I stand by my earlier comment,

Principal's public criticism of parent is appalling To the editor: My name is Jordan Althoff and I am a former student and athlete of North Oldham High School.
I was thrilled to hear that the world's favorite groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, failed to see his shadow. Not only am I looking forward to warm weather, bright flowers and perpetually muddy floors, I am grateful that the poor women who don't own a single winter garment will finally be able to dress appropriately!
Recently there has been a considerable amount of press and public comment from a small group of people concerning the Oldham County Board of Education's decision to purchase property in Brownsboro for a school campus.
While grazing around the food table at my cousin's baby shower, my aunts began to discuss their facial hair. "Do you have it yet?" one aunt directed at me. "I pluck every morning," I replied "But do you have the Boswell hair?" she clarified. "Your mom had it," another aunt supplied.
Several readers responded to Publisher Tony Cotten this week regarding his column, "Irresponsible words, guns and politicians," that appeared in the Jan. 18 edition of The Oldham Era. Below are their words.
Tony –
I recently took my two youngest children on a field trip to the fire station. My son was especially enthralled with the big engines, and could hardly believe his good fortune at being allowed to run his hand along the shiny red fenders, and take a turn sitting in the driver's seat. It brought to mind my first fire station field trip on a day forever etched into my memory.

The midiOutShortMsg function sends a short MIDI message to the specified MIDI output device.
MMRESULT midiOutShortMsg( HMIDIOUT hmo, DWORD dwMsg );
Handle to the MIDI output device. This parameter can also be the handle of a MIDI stream cast to HMIDIOUT.
MIDI message. The message is packed into a DWORD value with the first byte of the message in the low-order byte. The message is packed into this parameter as follows.
Word | Byte | Usage |
High | High-order | Not used. |
Low-order | The second byte of MIDI data (when needed). | |
Low | High-order | The first byte of MIDI data (when needed). |
Low-order | The MIDI status. |
The two MIDI data bytes are optional, depending on the MIDI status byte. When a series of messages have the same status byte, the status byte can be omitted from messages after the first one in the series, creating a running status. Pack a message for running status as follows:
Word | Byte | Usage |
High | High-order | Not used. |
Low-order | Not used. | |
Low | High-order | The second byte of MIDI data (when needed). |
Low-order | The first byte of MIDI data. |
Return Values
Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following:
Value | Description |
MIDIERR_BADOPENMODE | The application sent a message without a status byte to a stream handle. |
MIDIERR_NOTREADY | The hardware is busy with other data. |
MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE | The specified device handle is invalid. |
This function is used to send any MIDI message except for system-exclusive or stream messages.
This function might not return until the message has been sent to the output device. You can send short messages while streams are playing on the same device (although you cannot use a running status in this case).
