This is a typical example of why unions form. This employee was trying to do the right thing and still gets fired, because of the misfortune of being an "at will" employee.

For quite sometime, it has been difficult to understand the policies of
Their cutesy family oriented advertising says one thing. However, the lives of employees while while working at Walmart, and the reality of what really goes on there is totally opposite.
So many of us frequently discuss how sad it is that this questionable gazillion dollar company can keep such a stranglehold on shoppers.

I can understand a company policy where someone sees it, gets the license plate number, and then they announce the plate number over the store intercom so the customer can deal with the issue before resorting to getting cops involved. A policy of "it's not our issue, stay out of it" though is disgusting.

Well, there goes my image of Sam Walton riding in his old pick-up with his ole
dog Shep.
Seriously, do Walmart managers sit in a room and deliberately think up the most foolish solutions to problems?

Wal-Mart is in the business of making money rather than thinking of employees rights and needs or such a small matter as pets' welfare. Just say "No thank you," with regard to shopping at that place.

I believe there are some very good comments above but the high temperature that day was only 24-25C (75F). Of course the temperature inside a car parked in the sun is hotter than outside but it is possible that she overreacted. It's also possible we are not privy to all of her conversation with the boss.

So many here obviously did not carefully read the article. She was fired because she refused to consult with the manager BEFORE she called the police. That was the issue. Reread the story folks. She simply told the manager no. I would have fired her too. Furthermore, who is she to determine how long a dog can be left in a car? Obviously the dog was just fine. The owner knew how long he could be left and came back before the dog was in danger. Did she have special training that told her that 10 minutes was the maximum time? Who appointed her as the judge and jury? Not the manager. He didn't think she was qualified for that position so he wanted her to bring him in the loop in the future. She wanted to remain judge and jury so he fired her. Good for him. She was obviously a loose cannon and needed to go.

@ WRK: If dogs had opposable thumbs, they would call the cops themselves - well,
if they had opposable thumbs and a cell phone. Maybe they would just roll the
window down more.... ;)
@ RDLV: Even on a fairly mild day, temperatures inside a car - even with the window cracked - rise quickly. Studies show that when the external temperature is 75, the inside of a car parked in full sunlight can reach 100 in 10 minutes. Within 30 minutes the temperature inside the car can be 120 - which is enough to cause permanent harm to the dog.

@ Max: She had gone to her boss earlier in the week about a similar problem and
her concerns were dismissed and she was told there was nothing that they could
(translate as would) do.
Obviously, she wasn't judge and jury or she would have let the dog out herself - she followed the protocol advertised on TV by animal care societies. Which, coincidentally, is probably where she got her information about how long was safe.

So Max, would you say you subscribe to the "Theory X" management philosophy? If you do, then I would never hire you, and I hired a lot of people during my active career.

@ Kalindra
You're absolutely correct. A dark car parked in full sun can have a temperature rise of 3.5F per minute. When it's cloudy or mostly cloudy, of course the temperature rise would be very different.
My comment was that we may not know the entire story before we just blame the Walmart manager.

The actions of this employee were unacceptable. While it is horrible for the
owner to leave his dog in the car unattended it is 1) wrong to call 911 in a
situation like that. That's a number for actual emergencies and she could
have cost lives, 2) this is an issue that store managers and loss prevention
resolve and not any employee who feels that they see something wrong, 3) her
choice to address a customer in that manner is inappropriate, 4) her attitude
towards the manager is reflective that she suffers from a personality
Some people may be quick to condemn Walmart's managers for their actions but it was likely the result of complaints from the officers which led to her termination and it was likely the officers who informed Walmart management that if any of their employees called 911 and waste their time in the future that Walmart may be liable. Her actions were not acceptable. It;s up to management and the loss prevention team to be responsible for what happens on Walmart property. Not every employee who thinks they can call 911 whenever they want even when it could be resolved easily without police

I asked my dog what he thought. He said that if I was too stupid to see who's right in this case, then HE should be the one in charge instead of me.

Dwane: you are wrong
1) The police here in Canada are telling people to call 911 if you see a pet locked in a vehicle on hot days.
2) In Ontario this is considered animal cruelty. Previous experience with her manager resulted in this crime being ignored. It is our civic duty to report criminal behavior. No policy that Walmart makes can override the law. Walmarts failure to act in the past puts the responsibility on the employee to report, you can't say I reported it to Walmart so its not my fault if you know no action will be taken.
3) Her choice to inform a person (being a Walmart customer is irrevelant) that they should not leave their animal in the truck and that she would report this is being responsible.
4) Personality disorder? Are you a psychologist? Sounds like she refused because she did not expect the manager to do anything and felt like reporting herself would be the only way to have the problem properly dealy with.
It is highly unlikly that the officers are complaining because they are the ones telling us to call 911.

It amazes me that people think that dogs (or pets in general) are more important
than people... or relationships with people.
animals are just animals.
people are more important....ALWAYS
i would have fired her faster.

Solaray Guaranteed Potency L-5-Hydroxy Tryptophan 100 mg - 30 Capsules
Solaray Guaranteed Potency L-5-Hydroxy Tryptophan is a combination of natural L-5-hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP), Vitamins B-6 and C , and bioflavonoids. Clinical studies indicate that administration of L-5-HTP enhances synthesis of serotonin in the brain. Vitamin B-6 is the cofactor for enzymes that convert L-tryptophan to serotonin, and Vitamin C catalyzes the hydroxylation of tryptophan to serotonin. In addition, Solaray Guaranteed Potency L-5-Hydroxy Tryptophan is enterically coated to enable the capsules to bypass enzymes in the stomach which would convert L-5-HTP to serotonin prematurely (before reaching the central nervous system). The L-5-HTP in Solaray Guaranteed Potency L-5-Hydroxy Tryptophan is a natural extract of the Griffonia bean, not produced synthetically or by a fermentation process.

Apparently the well-intentioned folks trying to un-do the state's Right to Work law have been advantaging themselves of the Medical Marijuana law.
There appears to be no other justified explanation as to why they are asking the courts to bounce the law because the state capitol was locked during a portion of the fight over RTW.
If that is the best the ACLU, organized labor and one journalist can come up with, somebody needs to re-enroll in the Perry Mason law school.
The Michigan Education Association was the first to file suit last December, but now others have joined but have added nothing new to the legal briefs other than to deplore the whole process.
Yes the building was locked. Yes some protestors could not get in. Yes the issue was debated without committee hearings and rushing a "bill through a lame duck session is a bad way to make public policy." All those are true but if there is a legal hook somewhere in there for a judge to outlaw what lawmakers did, the plaintiffs have better eye sight than the rest of the free world.
Jamming bills through a lame duck session is hardly unconstitutional, although you could make a case for making it so, but nothing on the books attests to that now.
In a statement the opponents decry the "shameful" nature of the debate, but it's hard to conclude that any judge could find that to be illegal. Heck if we took all the shameful things a legislature did over the years, they would all be in jail.
All those in favor, say aye.
The suit is based on a violation of the Open Meetings act which indicates that public sessions involving lawmakers be posted 18 hours before they happen. There does not appear to be anything in there about locking the capitol.
But stranger things have happened. The lower court might agree. But even if it does, do these plaintiffs for one minute believe a certain state supreme court, under the majority rule of the GOP, would for one second toss out this law?
Unless, of course, the justices are obliging themselves of the Medical Marijuana law, too.

Topic - Gritstone advice for visiting ex pat
owensum - on 09 May 2013
Heh yall
Im a brit living in the states, but coming home (yorkshire) this summer for a few weeks. Id like to get some gritstone bouldering/climbing in, question is - whats the best logistics for this?
Can I rent boulder pads? I dont think I can bring one in my baggage allowance on the plane. I lead trad fine, but I dont want to bring my rack and rope back for similar reasons.
Although from yorkshire, I never really climbed much when I was living there sadly, so the crags arent terribly familiar with me, apart from almscliff which Ive TRd at a bunch early in my climbing career. Advice for classic areas which we can visit from york? Id like to do a day at stanage, just cos well known out here in the states.
Ill be here late june/early july.
Thanks in advance

Since releasing the new Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR volume 12) a few weeks ago, one of the top questions I have been asked is about the new malware infection rate data for Windows operating systems.
Why is Windows XP Service Pack 3's malware infection rate lower than that of Windows Vista SP1?
There are likely several factors contributing to this trend, but I'll try to provide an educated guess on some of the contributing factors.
Malware that used Autorun feature abuse to infect systems were especially successful on Windows XP based systems. About a year ago I wrote an article called Defending Against Autorun Attacks in which I outlined what Microsoft was doing to fight these threats and shared some of the preliminary results of these efforts. To summarize, Microsoft released security updates for Windows XP and Windows Vista that hardened the Autorun feature on these platforms the same way it is hardened on Windows 7 by default. Shortly after this security update was released we could see a precipitous decrease of Autorun related malware infections on Windows XP and Windows Vista systems.

Maybe it's just how I learned it, but I know there are still some people who don't know the difference between a stalactite and a stalagmite. You know, the pointy rocks that make the cave look like a giant toothy mouth that could eat you at any moment?
Here's how I learned. Stalactites have a C, and therefore are on the ceiling.
Stalagmites have a G, and are on the freaking ground.
That's how I learned it, and that fact has stuck with me since the second freaking grade. And there are still people my age who get confused. Here's hoping this clarifies so I can stop correcting stupid people.

The iconic filmmaker is known for making violent classics like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, but he's trying to win over a new target audience with the upcoming release of Hugo, about an orphan living in a train station in Paris, France.
He tells People magazine, ""Reading children's books to her over the years got me into the frame of the mind of making a film about a child.""
And Scorsese admits being surrounded by kids on set was a big change from his crime movies: ""We always ended up talking about someone's new teeth coming in!""
Hugo, based on the acclaimed 2007 bestseller by Brian Selznick, stars Jude Law, Christopher Lee and Sir Ben Kingsley, alongside child star Asa Butterfield.

FIELDS: Nineteenth-Century United States History, Irish-Americans, Public History
BIOGRAPHY: I am a historian of nineteenth-century Irish Americans and wrote my dissertation, "The Transatlantic Paddy: The Making of a Transnational Irish Identity in Nineteenth Century America," utilizing political cartoons from both Irish and Irish-American publications to demonstrate the importance of transnational ideas like Irish nationalism in the formation of an Irish identity in the United States. Focusing on specific people and events, like Charles Parnell and the Phoenix Park Murders, as well as common imagery like women and violence, my research demonstrates that late nineteenth-century Irish Americans relied heavily on the efforts of Irish nationalists on both sides of the Atlantic to construct their identity in the United States. In addition to my work on Irish Americans, I am also involved in research on student activism in the 1960s and have professional archive experience.

From Oct. 3, 2012
Moe wants to know if you believe in Jesus. Do you? He hopes so.
"I'll see you in heaven," Moe, working the cash register, tells a customer. "Hopefully I won't be running the deli up there."
Everyone who heard him laughs, because Moe's already running the deli down here. Slyman's, in northeast Cleveland. Known for sandwiches –- specifically corned beef –- this place is all about God and good karma, too. It's not all in-your-face, but it's there. I find it refreshing.
In the bathroom, laminated verses from the Book of Matthew recount Jesus's sermon on the mount. Part of it reads:
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink."
Fair advice. But I did come here for the food. For that corned beef sandwich. To see what the hype was about.
The only place to sit was the low counter that faces all the Three Stooges memorabilia, wedged between three customers to my right and boxes of delivery and/or to-go orders stacked on my left. Why The Three Stooges? Larry…Curly…Moe. Get it?
Prayer pamphlets are stacked in front of the cash register.
"Take as many as you want!" Moe tells another customer as he works the machine. "God bless."
Moe doesn't look like he just come off of Mount Sinai. In fact, he looks like he spends more of his time in the kitchen than at the register. He's heavyset, balding, if not bald, and wearing casual clothes. He doesn't dress like a disciple. Nor does he dress like he owns the place. But preach, brother, because the corned beef sandwich on rye is delicious. Even better with a little mustard.
That must be why there's a line out the door. Why the only seat I could find was at the counter. Why it took a whole minute to worm my way to the bathroom between the other customers and the hardworking women who served them. So this is what blue collar Ohio looks like. These are the humble folks just trying to make their way through the day.
I never liked Ohio much, even though I had never been outside the airport until this week, when I spent most of the time in the suburbs. But I had to make my way downtown, or at least in the city proper, and eat something authentic.
Slyman's is authentic.
"How's school goin'? Good?" Moe asks a boy in his late teens or early 20s. "I hope so."
My check comes, and I go to pay at the register, just a few feet from where I ate. I go to pay Moe. He swipes my credit card and thanks me. I can't sign for a tip? No. No need to sign the receipt.
I open my wallet, spot a $5 bill and a $20. My meal was only about $8. I need some $1s so I can tip. I can tell Moe's too busy to break my $5, even though he probably would if I asked. Moe's working hard. So is everyone else. They don't deserve $1s for their tip. So I hand the $5 to Moe.
"Leave that on your table," he says. "I didn't do nothing for ya."
I smile at Modest Moe. I walk back to my spot to lay the $5 down.
"You're a good man," he says.
God bless.

JERUSALEM, Aug. 8 (UPI) — The chief of the general staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army will visit Israel for the first time next week, Israeli defense officials said.
Gen. Chen Bingde's visit does not signify a change in Israeli policy concerning defense relations and exports to China, officials said.
The Chinese military leader will also stop in Russia and Ukraine.
While in Israel, Bingde will meet with Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who visited China in June, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, the chief of staff, and other senior officers, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Israeli companies are forbidden to sell weaponry to the Chinese military and Israel downgraded its defense ties with China due to American pressure, unnamed officials told the newspaper.
All of Israel's ties with China are scrutinized closely by the United States, the Post said.
In 2000, when Barak was prime minister, he halted the sale of four $250 million, advanced early-warning Phalcon aircraft to China. The planes featured American technology, the report said.
In 2005, the United States downgraded Israeli participation in the F-35 Joint Striker program in response to Israel's plans to upgrade Israel Aerospace Industries drones that were sold to China in the 1990s, the newspaper said.

The Pioneer 3 mission was one of the first attempts by the United States to send a spacecraft to the moon. Because of a malfunction with the spacecraft's booster rocket, it lacked the velocity to make it beyond Earth orbit and fell back to Earth, burning up over Africa.
Pioneer 3 was, however, equipped with a Geiger counter to study interplanetary radiation and managed to discover and map the outer Van Allen radiation belt around Earth before its demise.

Move over, Robin Hood tax. Make way for the FAT tax and the hot money levy.
The European Union's plan to put an impost on financial transactions, popularly known as a Robin Hood tax, is dying. That's a good thing. The idea was taken up by the Occupy movement as well as luminaries such as Bill Gates. But it never made economic sense. Taxing transactions wouldn't have dealt with any of the causes of the financial crisis such as too much leverage and excessive reliance on hot money. It would just have driven business offshore.
Britain has always opposed the tax, meaning it had no chance of being adopted by the EU as a whole. Now the Netherlands has come out against it, so it can't even be applied across the whole euro zone. With Germany's finance minister saying that the "smallest thinkable unit" for the tax is the euro zone, it is only a matter of time before the Robin Hood tax is buried.
EU finance ministers will discuss alternative ways of taxing finance later this week in Copenhagen. The guiding principles should be to rein in excess risk-taking and remove distortions that bias one form of economic activity over another. With these ideas in mind, there are three specific things Europe, and for that matter the rest of the world, should do.
First, countries should impose a "hot money" tax on banks. Such a levy would apply to a bank's wholesale borrowing. Ideally, short-term wholesale money should face an especially high levy: excessive reliance on such easy-come-easy-go funding was a big reason why banks from Royal Bank of Scotland to Lehman Brothers came a cropper. A hot money tax would encourage banks to raise longer-term money or attract relatively stable retail deposits. It would also mean that, if governments did have to bail out banks in future, the industry would at least have paid towards its own rescue.
So far 11 of the 27 EU countries – including Germany, Britain and France – have imposed such a levy, according to KPMG. The rest should follow suit. So should the United States, which has been toying with what the Obama administration calls a Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee. Although nothing will happen before the presidential election, a hot money tax could be one of the ways America eventually brings down its deficit.

Nearly nine out of 10 women suffer from foot pain and blisters due to uncomfortable or poorly-fitted shoes, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association.Podiatrists say high heels are the biggest culprit, which are typically four to six inches in height.While cases of high-heel related injuries are on the rise, instead of trading them in for flats, some women are reshaping their feet by shortening toes or simply removing them to get a Cinderella-snug fit inside their favorite shoes.
"At this point, I'm desperate and would try anything," says Claire Hosman, who is considering cosmetic foot surgery.Casually called 'stiletto surgery' or cosmetic foot surgery, the procedure involves removing a cylinder of bone from the toe, slimming down it's length, or injecting fillers into the foot to add padding. In some cases, the pinky toe is removed to add extra wiggle-room inside a shoe that's notoriously painful to walk in."By the time I come home, it's practically agony," says Hosman. "I can't even drive in them!"
For women like her, getting a lower, more supportive shoe is not an option.
"I know they're not comfortable, they hurt when I try them on, but they look good," Hosman says.The American Podiatric Medical Association and many of their physicians warn that foot surgery should only be performed for medical reasons -- to restore function or reconstruct a deformity. Heel wearers counter by saying this surgery makes the shoes they already have more comfortable and is actually preventative care against future foot pain and problems. "The toes are being squished together and it's irritating, particularly the pinky toe," says Dr. Kevin Molan, a podiatrist and owner of Carmel Foot Specialists located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Molan does not provide this type of cosmetic foot surgery to his patients. In fact, he says no shoe is worth all the risks associated with this procedure.Each foot has 26 bones, more than 30 joints, and a complicated network of nerves and tendons.
Molan says any of these parts could be damaged during surgery or become infected, requiring additional bone removal to contain. If a toe is shortened too much, the bones may not fuse."You don't want to have a floppy toe, a toe that has no integrity, it just wiggles around," Molan says.Typically, insurance only covers corrective foot surgery and not cosmetic procedures. Expect to pay $500 to $1,500 per toe depending on the procedure. A cheaper alternative, Molan suggests, is to wear heels strategically or only when necessary."When you're going power-shopping or on your feet a lot, maybe a flatter shoe with a wider toe box is better suited," Molan advises.This isn't an option for women who don't like walking in anything except sky-high stilettos.
"Until you walk a mile in someone's shoes, you don't get it," Hosman says. There are some women who will opt for tinier toes, or for only eight of them before they'll ever trade in their favorite shoes.
For anyone considering medical or cosmetic foot surgery, the American Podiatric Medical Association strongly urges you to consult a member of their organization first.Make sure your podiatrist has the right training, experience and credentials to perform the surgery, manage post-op care, and treat any potential complications.

Kentucky Hemp Commission Meets Today for First Time in a Decade
For the first time in a decade, Kentucky's industrial hemp commission will meet Wednesday.
The commission has been revived under Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, with support from U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Bowling Green.
They argue that industrial hemp can create jobs for Kentucky farmers, many of whom have not recovered since the tobacco buyouts years ago.
The first meeting will feature an announcement of funding for the commission -- $50,000 from Paul's political action committee, RAND PAC and $50,000 from the soap company Dr. Bronner's.
The commission is part of Comer's office, but this funding will pay for the panel's staff. Vote Hemp, an advocacy group, is part of the announcement.
Not long after the hemp commission's revival was announced, the Lexington Herald-Leader's editorial board backed the idea of lifting the ban on hemp, saying:
Anyone who thinks that continuing to outlaw hemp is critical to reducing marijuana use should consider what's happened in the last 50 years: Since growing hemp was made illegal, marijuana use has become so widespread and accepted that 17 states and the District of Columbia have legalized some form of medical marijuana.
Outlawing hemp clearly has not stopped the consumption of marijuana.
It has denied farmers a possibly profitable crop.

Analyzing the Bull Case of Hewlett-Packard
Anindya is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The time has come to break up Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) into parts. That's the view of UBS analyst Steve Milunovich. He says that a sum-of-the-parts analysis finds the company is worth north of $20 a share.
"That valuation assumes that HP's businesses are independent, which are not," he writes. "We believe this fallacy of independence explains the gap between intrinsic and realized value. The burden of corporate management, systems, and brand erosion argue that improving unit results isn't sufficient -- we believe HP should break up."
In the last few weeks, the stock has rebounded nicely. Is this shift in momentum for real? That's hard to say. Hewlett-Packard's stock has been hurt by a number of strategic mistakes. Deals like Autonomy, Electronic Data Systems, Palm, and others built on the $17.6 billion purchase of Compaq a decade ago wasted the company's resources and talent. All of these point to a company that's dysfunctional.
Immediate Fix: Splitting Up the Company
Fiduciary Trust sold its Hewlett-Packard stake several years ago when the investment firm began losing confidence in the company's leadership, according to Chief Investment Officer Michael Mullaney.
"It's absolutely dirt cheap," Mullaney, who helps manage $9.5 billion in Boston, said in an interview. "If they want to try to fix it immediately, it would be by splitting up the company. That's exactly what they have to do."
Hewlett-Packard needs to overhaul its board, because some of the current members are responsible for approving the Autonomy acquisition, and then split the company in two. The personal computer and printer businesses could be spun off together or sold to a buyer such as an Asian computer maker like Taiwan's Acer or Asustek Computer. The printer business, the stronger of the two, could help entice an acquirer and get a better price.
The $33 billion company, valued at more than $100 billion as recently as 2011, could boost its stock price to more than $20 by separating itself into two companies focused on consumers and business clients. By breaking up PCs and printers, Hewlett-Packard can reinvest that cash into the enterprise unit to enhance its software used for data centers.
Hewlett-Packard's Reinvesting Ability
With the company failing to capitalize on a boom in demand for smartphones, tablets, and cloud computing, third quarter revenue has fallen short of expectations. Hewlett-Packard posted third quarter results that saw EPS beating estimates despite lower order renewals and large write-downs. The restructuring initiatives of Meg Whitman will likely result in continued weakness and write-downs, as the company focuses on core operations to find its next major growth driver.
But that doesn't mean Hewlett-Packard is financially a weak company. The question is would it be a good idea to accumulate the stock that's dirt cheap due to this weakness? Hewlett-Packard's Enterprise Value to Free Cash Flow ratio is impressive and currently stands at 6.823, which is in-line with Dell's (NASDAQ: DELL) 6.472, but better than International Business Machines's (NYSE: IBM) 14.84. Enterprise Value to Free Cash Flow compares the total valuation of the company inclusive of debt with its ability to generate cash flow. It's the inverse of the Free Cash Flow Yield. The lower the ratio, the faster a company can generate cash to reinvest in its business or pay for acquisitions.
HPQ EV / Free Cash Flow TTM Data by YCharts
Hewlett-Packard's Relative Strength
The company is still a revenue generating machine. Its quarterly revenue per share is growing by 41.55%, compared to Dell's 10.69% and IBM's is 24.03%.
HPQ Revenue Per Share Quarterly Data by YCharts
Hewlett-Packard has a free cash flow yield of 22.41% with a rebounding FCF curve. Free cash flow yield standardizes the free cash flow per share a company is expected to earn against its market price per share. The ratio is calculated by taking the free cash flow per share divided by the share price. The lower the ratio, the less attractive the investment is and vice versa. Hewlett-Packard's relatively high FCF yield indicates that the company's strong cash position is favorable for investment.
Server Sales Seeing Temporary Recovery
Worldwide server demand has been slowing since large businesses are now choosing to make their own servers and data centers. However, the former powerhouse data-center server makers Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Dell have seen a modest recovery in server sales since the second quarter of 2012. IDC believes that server demand will continue to improve following a number of critical product refreshes which will continue to be announced. But nobody expects the server market to stage a dramatic turnaround anytime soon.
Demand for x86 servers started improving since the second quarter of 2012 with Hewlett-Packard leading the market, following Dell and IBM. The blade server market continued its solid growth in 2012. Overall, bladed servers, including x86, EPIC, and RISC blades, accounted for a record high revenue. More than 90% of all blade revenue is driven by x86-based blades, which now represent 22.1% of all x86 server revenue. Hewlett-Packard maintained the number 1 spot in the server blade market in 2012 following IBM in the second place. Cisco and Dell rounded out the top 4.
The Bottom Line
Long-term investors should start accumulating the stock in dips, if they believe in Meg Whitman's turnaround plan. The plan is based on three strategic initiatives:
- Paying down the company's debt before it becomes unmanageable
- Shifting from an external to an internal innovation model, a policy which has worked for other tech companies like Apple and Microsoft
- Opening up the company's operating system WebOS to the applications development community
But if the plan fails to revive the company? Don't worry, splitting up the company might then be the only solution to turn it around. And that could also be a great bet!

Lions tab Caldwell as head coach
Allen Park, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Lions hired Jim Caldwell as their next head coach Tuesday following a two-week search to find a replacement for the fired Jim Schwartz.
Caldwell had a successful two-year run as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts from 2009-10, taking the team to Super Bowl XLIV in his first season and reaching the playoffs with a 10-win performance the following year. The Colts plummeted to 2-14 in 2011 with Peyton Manning sidelined the entire season, however, triggering Caldwell's dismissal at the end of the campaign.
He resurfaced as the quarterbacks coach for the Baltimore Ravens in 2012 and was promoted to offensive coordinator in December of that season after Cam Cameron was abruptly fired. With Caldwell taking over as the play caller, the Ravens ripped off four straight postseason victories, including a 34-31 triumph over San Francisco in Super Bowl XLVII that brought the franchise its second world championship.
Caldwell also won a Super Bowl with the Colts in 2006 as an assistant under mentor Tony Dungy. He was named Indianapolis' head coach following Dungy's retirement after the 2008 season.
The 58-year-old Caldwell compiled a 26-22 overall record during his three-year stint in charge of the Colts, highlighted by a 14-2 season in 2009, and went 2-2 in playoff games.
He takes over a Lions team that has reached the postseason just once in the last 14 seasons, but possesses a promising offense that contains a talented quarterback in Matthew Stafford, one of the NFL's premier receivers in Calvin Johnson and a versatile weapon in running back Reggie Bush.
Caldwell is well-regarded for his work with quarterbacks, which likely attracted the Lions. He helped Manning develop into one of the game's elite passers during his time with the Colts, while Joe Flacco put together an outstanding playoff run in 2012 under Caldwell's tutelage.
Multiple reports had the Lions targeting San Diego offensive coordinator and former Arizona head man Ken Whisenhunt to take over for Schwartz, but Whisenhunt instead accepted an offer from the Tennessee Titans to become their head coach on Monday.
Caldwell becomes the third head coach hired this offseason with previous NFL experience at the position, joining Whisenhunt and new Tampa Bay sideline boss Lovie Smith.
